Avater by Despi!
Born and raised in the western steppes of Russia by the Angara pack (named so for having prime territory near the Angara river in the area), Isolda was born to Svetlana and sired by Borya, a mated pair. From the same litter she has a brother, Vadik. She has another brother, Artyom, who was the only result of her mothers Svetlana's second birth. Feeling spurned by her birth pack and having heard of the lands across the sea from various Moscow residents on her pack's trade visits to the city, Isolda hatched a plan over the winter months to slip away from her family and pack the next time they came to Moscow in order to make her own way to these unseen lands.

Interaction

When she is angry or excited, her English speech can be heavily accented or dotted with Russian words, making her sometimes difficult to understand.

- Quirks, Gestures, Etc.: She often tilts her head, and plays with her claws.
- General Posture and Body Language: She stands with a slight slouch, almost imperceptible, and her general body language speaks to being unnoticed. She is not keen on being noticed unless roused to true anger.

2. Personality
Isolda is a generally reserved character. She does not enjoy being the center of attention, and is uncertain when thrust into new social situations. Her social ineptitude often makes her appear to be quite chilly and withdrawn, even selfish, though this is only hiding her fear of taking a wrong step and humiliating herself or causing confrontation with groups she does not know. With both new people and new tasks, she prefers to work toward a complete understanding of that person, or total mastery of a skill, starting with careful observation and assessment. She does not react well when she is nagged or put under pressure she deems unnecessary, or when her judgement is questioned. These situations often spark an intense temper and she tends to hold onto grudges long past when they should be forgotten or settled.
Her reluctant nature is often misinterpreted as being self-absorbed, but friends will know that under her grudging and rough exterior, she is quite capable of fierce protectiveness and a willingness to put her well-being and even her life down before theirs. She can never be considered “outgoing”, but when she has developed a rapport with someone, she has been known to display bone-dry humor and crack the occasional scathing joke.
But it is difficult for Isolda to make friends, and unless or until someone is endeared to her, she has no qualms using them as a stepping-stone to gain what she wants. So others may be wary of any gestures that may seem friendly or considerate when they have only just met her.

Biases
SexualityIsolda has had very little experience with relationships or her own sexuality. In the little time she has spent thinking about these things, she's found that she does have an attraction to both genders. She is drawn to dominant individuals and clever individuals, who are driven and know what they want. She is not generally one to make the first move, but she will enjoy testing someone's patience and strength as part of courtship. She is unsure of how she feels about monogamy, as she has no desire for pups and mateship seems primarily for reproduction. But, as she has never physically consummated her feelings for anyone, the issue does not keep her up at night. Interests
SubstancesShe enjoys alcohol, but prefers to imbibe alone and not often, as the motor- and thought-inhibiting effects are things she is uncomfortable to experience in the presence of others. She will judge those who get piss-drunk or otherwise intoxicated in the public eye and make a fool of themselves in front of everyone as being of lesser intelligence, but beyond that she does not particularly care what others do. |
Spirituality
The pack Isolda was born to held a belief system loosely based off a Slavic idea of the "Tree of Life", with the branches, trunk, and roots representing three differences, or levels, of life and the world. Minor deities were worshipped, and "going across the water" was a phrase often used to mean "dying". While Isolda paid lip service to these pantheistic ideals as a pup (as to openly doubt or defy these gods was heavily frowned upon), the more time she spends in North America she is finding that she leans more toward agnosticism or flat-out atheism and has little patience for theological discussions.
