1.2 Abilities
Strengths
- Marika studied healing, potions, and other means of medical attention during her early months spent traveling with her family. These skills were honed at various other points in her life, as well.
- She may or may not be able to read. This is the players' choice. If she can read, it's more likely she only reads Russian rather than English or even English and Russian. If she can read multiple languages, she'll have to have dedicated a good portion of her life to these skills. o:
- Capable of horse-riding, possibly breaking if she followed up on this skill following Anann's instructions.

2.1 Build & Species
A graceful and slender female, Marika is easily noticeable due to the way she moves. Everything is like a dance, although there are no obvious ways in which she shows this - no twirls or swirls or curtsies.
2.2 Coloration
Marika displays a typical timberwolfish color pattern: her back is dark and her underside is light.
- Marika's base pelt is Sandstone (#7E766B) in coloration, lightening to Natural Gray (#959089) around her face, throat, and the upper portion of her torso.
- Her overcoat is Armadillo (#46423C) gray, with darker Zeus (#24201B) hints on her ears as well as along her spine.
- Around her head and ears is Cork (#3F241E) red-brown.
- Her left eye is English Walnut (#3F2F27), while her right eye is Sail (#9BD8F8).
2.3 Forms
LupusMarika is a slim and slight Lupus -- she bears none of the usual bulk of her subspecies. |
SecuiMarika is not a large Secui -- she might pass for a normal lupus, even. Still, it is her most muscular and well-built form. |
OptimeWhen shifted, she is narrow and angular, which pronounced features which only enhance her beauty. The Cork coloration along her head translates to a sliver of color running along the top of her spine, and is not usually visible except when she lifts her hair. |

3. Personality
May be modified, changed, etc. as necessary by the player.
Marika is very much a free spirit: while not a disrespectful canine, she believes in doing her own thing and going her own way. She believes in allowing others this same freedom, but also has strong moral convictions, too -- freedom isn't to be hampered, as long as no one is being harmed. This isn't to say she wouldn't join a pack; however, she'd likely look for a loose structure lacking in strong hierarchy, non-violence being a must amongst the pack's beliefs. While perhaps somewhat idealistic in her outlook of the world, she has grown into a more realistic perspective as she's grown up.
Marika is affectionate, honest, open-handed, and intelligent, though perhaps not educated. She doesn't shirk from telling others her opinion or what she thinks is best, and while she can be difficult to befriend due to her outspoken nature coupled with her strong convictions, she is an unfailingly loyal ally to friends and group alike.

4. Relationships
4.1 Key Relations
Family
- Has met her grandfather, Rurik Russo, albeit briefly in roleplayed history. Would have limited (if any) knowledge of Sobirat'sya-based family.
- Would not know most of the Sobirat'sya based family unless the player makes according edits to her history (e.g., adding a Sobirat'sya visit during the period between 2010 and 2012).
4.2 Family
Immediate Family
- Parents: Kezia Havok and Zaets Russo
- Siblings: Luka, Janos, Nikolai, Ruslan, and Lolita.
- Half Aunts and Uncles: Silas, Anatoliy, Liliya, Mars
5. History
5.1 2008
- Marika was born to Zaets Russo and Kezia Havok in Eastern Europe in early 2008. The family travelled together from place to place, as Kezia was something of a gypsy, and for a brief time, things were tranquil and good.
- Kezia became increasingly paranoid and destructive, this behaviour culminating her attacking Zaets and driving him off.
- After the attack, one by one, Marika and her siblings departed from their mother, setting out to make their own way.
5.2 2009
- ~January: Marika visits Sobirat'sya. This was a quiet, typical year for the Russo family, and it's likely Marika got to know many of her family members. She witnessed the birth of two litters, as both Malenkij and Strannik produce children.
5.3 2010
- February: Marika leaves Europe.
- April: Marika arrives in North America, in an unspecified port (possibly Freetown). She heads to Cour des Miracles, where she joins up.
- May: Shortly thereafter, however, she leaves the pack, only to return again to apologize to her grandfather, Rurik . She explains the war and lack of peace within 'Souls had upset her and drove her out of the territory.
- Late August: Marika leaves Cour des Miracles again.
- Why she left, what she does and where she goes after this point is up to the new player.
