Characteristics

Appearance

Physical

Though still a young wolf, Mishibizhii will grow into her huge paws and nearly match her parents in stature, if with a little additional heft to her frame. Small, rounded ears perch atop a broad, wolfish head. Her body is similarly wide-shouldered, with a deep chest and well-proportioned but long limbs. A solid animal, she is built for endurance over speed. As a high-content wolfdog, she shows very little of her domesticated heritage, other than a slight upward curve to the carriage of her tail.

Mishi is painted with earthen hues, her main tawny-brown coloration inspiring her name. Darker brown-black, the color of rich loam, tips her round ears, and streaks her saddle and tail-tip in an agouti pattern. Her underbelly has typical countershading with a lighter cream, which frames the soft browns of her wide face. Despite taking her mother's surname, she has inherited the Haskel green eyes -- though their color is not often visible, as she tends to keep them shut during the daytime.

Personality

Summarized: Adjective, adjective, adjective

Curiosity and compassion are what most drive Mishibizhii. Born and raised in a tight-knit, small group not afforded the frivolities of "civilized" lifestyles, she holds trust and cohesion as important ideals, and believes that her parents' path is the right one for her. However, she is interested in other cultures and how they deal with concepts such as faith and conviction. While content with her lifestyle and most comfortable with her kith, she is open-minded and amicable with strangers unless they give her a reason not to be. Her goodwill is tempered by the beliefs and opinions of sometimes-suspicious bandmates, which has afforded Mishi a healthy amount of sensible caution, though her young age may lead her to naivete.

Her affliction of day blindness has made Mishi something of a night owl, with keen attention to detail and appreciation for the small life that makes up the whole. She respects nature and her place within it, leaning toward animistic belief colored by the morals of her father's faith. She desires to help others and protect her loved ones through what means she can, which has led to an interest in peacekeeping and the healing arts. A tendency to place others' needs above her own may arise from this, especially as Mishi masks her own fears and tries to navigate her place in the world.

  • Motivations: Protecting her kith, understanding the world, upholding nature's balance
  • Fears: Storms, bears, losing or failing her loved ones
  • Likes: Plants, the ocean, music, stories and mythologies, meeting new people
  • Dislikes: Overpowering scents, bright lights, bigotry
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
    • Respects the authority figures in their family and obeys their mandates.
    • Considers the needs of the community in personal life.
    • Will take actions to aid others during times of crisis, even if unprofitable to do so.
    • Believes everyone should be treated fairly and kindly.
Biases
  • Modernization: Follows the beliefs of her parents and band in regards to this, rejecting modernization (e.g. clothing, livestock, building, weaponry). She is, however, curious about more humanized Luperci, and will explore her feelings about this as she meets new people.
  • Packs: Positive associations toward Casa di Cavalieri, with wariness about the unfamiliar other packs.
  • Species: Unfamiliar with non-wolves, but accepting and curious, especially of other wild-type canines. Likely to be confused and wary of doggish individuals with odd traits (e.g. short coats, molossoid faces).
Sexuality

She's just a baaaaaby~

Spirituality

Mishi's parents have taught her a mixture of Christianity, Midewiwin and Slovakian mythology; in addition, she has been exposed to the animistic beliefs of Trillum Hollow.

In practice, Mishi identifies most closely with animism, as well as the positive aspects of Christian morality, with a deep appreciation of stories of all these cultures.
