Tempestuous as a child, she has grown into a beautiful, terrible adult; prone to emotional outbursts and holding onto grudges, it’s no surprise that she keeps very few friends and a great many enemies. Fortunately, she considers her brother one of the former and sister a combination of both. After declaring herself the golden child of the trio, she quickly assumed the role of horsewoman and has since risen to the Ranger Tier, home of Salsola’s elite.
Following a season of fear in the wake of the Red Star, and concerns regarding her children, Osrath was finally made a Sotto Capo member by her mother, though this was quieter than she might have liked. During the autumn of 2017 she was betrothed and subsequently mated to her mother's second-in-command, Lokr Revlis and through him is mother to a daughter, Elphaba Revlis and a stillborn son but not Indra Winters who was, in fact, fathered by her brother.
She served as Salsola'sGamekeeper, and managed their livestock as well as overseeing the training of their horses for a number of years before her mate's banishment, disappearing with her brother to parts unknown.

1. Appearance
1.1 Basics
Essentials
Easily the most beautiful of her siblings, Osrath takes after her mother and her grandmother in appearance. Her hybrid blood gives the girl a more wolfish size, though she has the small, high waist and long, elegant legs of collie origin. Her pelt is a pale wash of creams and soft bone-whites, which are apt to lighten and become more rich as she ages. A prominent wolfish saddle spills down her spine in dark charcoal, ticked with lighter areas of silver in a faded brindle. The same darker colors mark the tip of the girl's long, plush tail, as well as adorn her cheeks and a sweeping brace about her neck. Osrath's throat is pale off-white, a band that covers the entirety of her neck and is a clear throwback to her Winters heritage.
Although leaner than her other sister, beneath her silky fur the Eternity girl still sports a naturally muscular frame, one that will only increase in capability and strength with proper training. Already, the pup shows a striking similarity in appearance and build to her mother, and shares Salvia's piercing verdant eyes.

Adornments
Whether out of vanity or something else entirely, Osrath enjoys wearing fine jewelry and clothing; she considers them status symbols more than anything else.
75 lbs(34 kg) ↔ 28 in(71 cm)
Very dog-like, long legged and furred, with dainty paws. Beneath her soft coat is a stronger wolfish frame.
Secui
140 lbs(63.5 kg) ↔ 38 in(96.5 cm)
Wolfish, decidedly bulkier than any other of her shapes. Clear D'Angelo influence with a large increase in her muscle bulk.
Optime
160 lbs(72.5 kg) ↔ 5ft 8in (68 in)(172.7 cm)
Lean and lithe, Osrath takes most after her paternal grandmother. Her hourglass shape is accented by her long, straight hair.
Speech: Osrath is fluent in German, and has picked up on Gaelic from her parents. A word or two of Spanish is also included in her verbal repertoire.
Quirks, Gestures, Habits: Eavesdropping, name dropping, foot tapping.
General Posture and Body Language: Arrogant and dominant, Osrath will truly respect very few of her elders that are not her mother or father, all the while appealing to others' vanity.
One of three children born to Salsola’s infamous Tigress, Osrath is oftentimes considered (and told just as frequently) that she is the prettiest of her siblings; this has gone to her head, where vanity has rooted itself with gnarled vines.
Vain, Uncompromising, Manipulative:
Her mother’s almost obsessive preening and conditioning have led to an egregious amount of self-worth for the green-eyed blonde of Salsola. This vanity is exhibited all the time, under every single situation imaginable. Sometimes spurred by competition with her sister, Osrath feels she deserves the best horse, the finest clothing made from the highest quality cloth, and takes remarkable care to constantly appear as put together as possible.
In her youth, she refused to dirty herself. This has lessened by a few degrees with age, but she would rather be presentable at all times.
Even considering her physical qualities, Osrath’s vindictive methods are nonetheless difficult to condone, and her single-mindedness can be dangerous. Should her own well-being (physical or otherwise) become endangered, she sees red. Most subjects are seen in black and white with very few shades in between.
Taking into consideration that she has been raised to believe women are more powerful than men, the principessa is remarkably self-assured and confident in her abilities to manipulate. This is often done surreptitiously, and often requires attending to other’s interests as well as a method of disguise and (in some ways) may rarely take on the semblance of graciousness.
Judgmental, Histrionic, Passionate:
Concerning non-luperci, outsiders, and other women, Osrath is extremely judgmental and may be downright abusive. Anything that may be considered odd or non-conformational (a woman with short hair, a man who doesn’t partake in physical pursuits, etc.) will be met with varying levels of assault, the most common being verbal degradation. Has fairly traditional views on gender roles, but feels that women must be able to defend themselves against men as they are beasts and cannot help themselves.
Prone to melodramatic and sometimes fiery outbursts, whether they take on the form of a tantrum or outright physical abuse, she swings violently back and forth between calm and hysterical at times. Unpredictable during such upheavals, it is usually wise to give her a wide berth and absolutely do not relate this influx of emotion to her being crazy or a woman.
On a less dangerous note, Osrath is an incredibly passionate, determined woman. Turned to a constructive purpose or pastime, this is inarguably a good thing. Outgoing and eager to prove herself to superiors, she tends to ‘live life to the fullest’ with no holds barred. This also extends to her romantic/sex life, where she prefers to take on a dominant role, and makes the other person her focal point.
2.1 Ideals
Outlook
Expression: Friendly — perhaps too friendly.
Sociability: Social, domineering, and haughty. Likes to be where the action is.
This is currently an underdeveloped area of her life, though she is known to believe to some extent in fate and divine intervention.
Practices Salsolan rituals — enjoys, to some extent, the pack's Zacatapayoli ritual. May use this to garner favor one day.
Has some knowledge of the Coisricthe religion, owing to her father and a grandmother she's never met.
Biases
Non-Luperci: True to Salsola's teachings, Osrath considers non-Luperci worthless.
Gender: Believes in matriarchal superiority, as is Salsola's norm.
"Outsiders": Osrath's experiences with Outsiders have led her to believe that everyone not from Salsola is in some way evil, or entirely undeserving of her glorious presence.
Sexuality
Primarily heterosexual and has an interest in begetting heirs/furthering her bloodline, but continues to see sex and and all of its wiles as a means to getting what she wants. Probably won't scruple at flirting with women as it's also a means to an end.
Prefers to lead/initiate sexual encounters unless she knows the other party well. This is primarily out of fear, and brought on by an attempted sexual assault as a child.
Identifies with certain aspects of sadomasochism; enjoys (and may actually derive pleasure from) hurting others and, to a lesser extent, being hurt in return.
Dislikes: Intellectualism, rudeness, opposition, altruism. Would be unlikely to trust anyone remotely like herself.
Substances
Rarely drinks publicly for fear of being considered a drunk, but will drink plenty in private!
Greatly prefers wine, finds dark beer and other such drinks to be too harsh.
Once encountered her sister after she'd ingested a psilocybin mushroom and scorned her for it. Believes anything that induces a psychedelic response belongs to the witches, despite her steadily waning belief in magic.
Would not be opposed to dabbling in soft substances like cannabis.
Salvia Eternity: A relationship initially made easier by her mother’s obvious favoritism has become fraught with tension due to the obvious flaws of her own children. During her youth Osrath sought to emulate Salsola’s Boss, taking their similar appearance as a sort of sign that she was destined for greatness no matter what anyone else said. Despite this innate desire to please Salvia, Osrath is also occasionally struck by an overarching need to suborn her mother’s interests and rebel, perhaps because it’s simply the nature of daughters to want more than their mothers. Recently there has been a shift in their dynamic, due in part to Salvia’s apparent interest in Osrath’s daughter, Elphaba, and Osrath is unsure whether this is a cause for concern or not.
Blair Eternity: Even as two women vaulted into prestige by the merits of their name and birth, Osrath’s relationship with her sister Blair was strained from the moment of their birth onward; separated by their differences, a wedge was further driven between them by their methodologies. Her sister is both a rival and a confidant, albeit not to the degree their brother is. Like all sisters they’re fiercely competitive in most things, whether it be the animals they own or the favor they curry. Despite this they became closer following Osrath’s engagement to Lokr Revlis, and when Blair abruptly left for Fort Preble with her mate Reykja, Osrath realized she may have lost an opportunity somewhere to truly befriend her sibling.
Extended Family: Osrath is also related, in some degree, to every member of the Lykoi and D'Angelo families.
Family Relationships
Stannis de le Poer: Stannis has never been the rock steady presence for Osrath that she sometimes wishes he was, though it must be said that this was more or less at her own quiet insistence. Bound and determined to make a name for herself as Salvia’s daughter, there was undoubtedly a missed opportunity for what may have been a solid father-daughter relationship somewhere. This is rarely given much thought, however, for they are nonetheless present in one another’s life despite sharing very few interests and pastimes.
Elphaba Revlis: Quite obviously her favorite daughter, Osrath has spent much of her time grooming Elphaba in a similar manner to her own upbringing, assessing her skills and outfitting her as best she feels she may for the future while remaining mindful of the Revlis line’s tendency toward mental illness and her slight codependency with her sister, Indra. More recently her darkling daughter has exhibited an extreme stubborn streak, striking out against her parents’ interests and focusing on magic and witchcraft. In many ways she reminds Osrath of herself, and she finds it both frustrating and intriguing, but entirely detrimental.
Indra Winters: Initially the child that Osrath had the highest expectations of, it became apparently quite early on that Indra had no interest in fulfilling any of the social obligations that make up the foundation of Salsola; single-minded and incredibly, irreconcilably violent, her pale child demonstrated the lengths to which she was willing to go when she murdered Osrath’s slave, and act that by itself was not inherently wrong, but distasteful in someone so young. Effectively exiled for an undetermined amount of time, it’s Osrath’s hope (but not her belief) that some time away from Salsola will help her find clarity and healing.
O'Riley Eternity: The son of her sister (technically, her brother), O’Riley’s arrival in Salsola was uncommonly quiet. Intrigued by the boy, Osrath has nonetheless remained at a watchful distance, but is constantly prepared to step into the youngster’s life if she sees something in him that she finds fascinating.
Suspects but is currently unaware that he is Dullahan's son.
A relationship frequently lacking any semblance of harmony, Lokr and Osrath project the perfect picture of what a Salsolan power couple should be, and despite their similarities fundamentally misunderstand who the other is at their very core. As a child Osrath idolized him, believing that the image he presented her with was his real face; later the truth that should have been obvious from the start came clear, an event that she claims drove her away from him and into the arms of her brother. Subsequently the slippery slope on which they built their second beginning was constantly shifting, involving but not limited to blackmail, lying, jealousy, and underhandedness. Ultimately Osrath (through her mother) bound him to her through marriage, and gave him two children: Elphaba Revlis and a stillborn son, Maugrim Revlis.
In recent times a distance has grown between them, and though Osrath tells herself it’s the Second Boreas Conflict, it is more likely that he blames her for sending his favorite daughter away, ignoring the fact that she is not biologically his.
Osrath is currently unaware of his renewed interest in Semini.
Insidious at its core, Dullahan and Osrath’s relationship is a caustic combination of obsession, mental instability, and what appears at times to be genuine devotion. She considers him to be both her achilles heel and her saving grace, for he is the only member of Salsola that she believes understands who she is at all times. The beloved son, Osrath has at many times felt that Dullahan was allowed a better childhood than she and her sister were, for less responsibility would fall on him; once, she promised him a seat beside her if she should become Boss, but her own lack of conviction and his steadily rising level of emotional and mental instability soured what was originally a youthful, lusty relationship. In the months following her engagement and subsequent mateship to Lokr, they remained distant from one another much of the time; regardless, one of her daughters is biologically his, and with the distance growing between herself and her mate, she often looks to the empty place where he used to be.
It is worth noting that the two often feed into each other's delusions of grandeur, to no one's benefit but their own egos.

Nulla porta mauris at mauris imperdiet aliquam.
Barring her interactions with The Five and later those involved in the Second Boreas Conflict, Osrath has — by choice — had very limited contact with Outsiders; only the most important are mentioned below.
If one were to name the source of Osrath’s innermost frustrations, Campion would be it. During their first encounter he introduced himself as Yaqum, and while his companion stood idly by, attempted to rape her. Her uncle intervened on her behalf and was injured for his trouble, which further troubled her. As she grew into adulthood, her comprehension of his actions grew with her, and her anger blossomed into what could only be referred to as pure, unadulterated hatred. This came full circle November of her second year, when — prompted by fear for her as-of-yet unborn children — Osrath sought out the green-eyed man. This went awry very quickly; Campion’s psychopathic behavior had, like her fury, grown and evolved, prompting him to commit a rash of murders, all of whom bore something of a resemblance to the Salsolan princess. Captured and subsequently freed by Marlowe de le Poer, Osrath ran blindly (all the while being chased) directly into her mother, who murdered Campion.
For almost a year and a half Osrath knew him only as Gabriel, the traveling companion of Yaqum. During a fateful encounter with his aforementioned friend she experienced a near sexual assault, and felt that he was just as culpable for failing to intercede on her behalf. Fortunately, her uncle did, and she was able to escape the violence — but not the corroding force of anger — and she later learned his true identity to be that of Marlowe de le Poer, a member of Salsola’s neighbor, Inferni, at the time. When events found them bound together again, it was once more orchestrated by his cousin. Though he was able to free her from the madman, Osrath believes quite fervently that the horrific wounds he received as a result led to his death shortly thereafter.
Currently Osrath is under the impression that he died; "posthumously", she has forgiven him for what she feels were his 'earlier sins' against her.
3. Skills and Inventory
3.1 Abilities
Animal Care
Education and Learning: Essentially a family business, Osrath has spent time around horses and miscellaneous livestock since before she could shift, and her interest was indulged in by her mother.
Essentially born in the saddle, Osrath showed great promise from the get-go insofar as horses were concerned. This is something she has worked at diligently over a long period of time, and she as comfortable atop a horse as she is on her own two feet.
Can ride equally well with or without a saddle.
While not as refined as her riding skills, Osrath is capable of both breaking and training horses. At a young age she developed a method of training which would recall a spooked/scattered horse.
Like her mother, Osrath has a keen eye regarding livestock and discerning which should be bred together to produce a particular result.
Animals such as sheep, pigs, and other farm animals are of little to no interest to her, but she values them based on the resources they provide.
Combat
Education and Learning: Her mother Salvia Eternity and uncle Basilaris Eternity have taught her some rudimentary skills; additionally, she has begun working with Rafael Salcedo and other combat-oriented folk.

Socio-Policial
Education and Learning: Osrath was raised from birth to manipulate, politic, and adjust to the changeable social clime of Salsola.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut posuere varius arcu, et pellentesque orci tempor vitae. Curabitur scelerisque mi eu porta egestas. Fusce nec viverra turpis.

Quisque rhoncus augue dolor. Proin malesuada urna ac velit placerat, pharetra consectetur urna vulputate. Proin vehicula eleifend mi in pulvinar.
Osrath’s prodigious temper (which can be brought about by the smallest of actions) causes her to see red, whereupon she strikes without mercy.
Has absolutely no forethought in regards to the consequences of her actions—furthermore, she exhibits a reckless disregard for others who may be hurt as a result of her more ruthless choices.
