Description

Quicksilver is a slender silver coywolf with ashen green eyes.

Her face is soft and feminine, accented with a slender muzzle and large ears; this is attributed to her small portion of coyote blood.

Predominantly she appears as a slim and waifish wolf (possessing gynecosmastia, her bust is small). She is both of average height and weight. Her fur is soft and sports feathering on her joints. Her tail is long and fluffy, a trait she shares with her aunt.

She is more squarely-built in her Lupus and Secui forms but remains leggy and slim. Her delicateness is less apparent in her feral forms and she is more becoming of the strength that she possesses when on four legs.

Highly humanized in behavior as per Salsola's customs, Quicksilver rarely leaves her Optime form. She often wears skirts and jewelry, opting for presentation and comfort rather than practicality. Her mane is long and wavy, decorated with a variety of beads, braids, and flowers.

She is free of scarring and blemishes.

Biases

3.1  Family

• Mother: Artemisia Eternity
• Father: Loki Helsi
• Sibling: Hel Eternity

• Extended: Quicksilver has a very large family—closely-related relatives reside with her in Salsola and she is blood of Lykoi, Eternity, Soul, and D'Angelo. She considers herself a part of the Helsi clan by proxy of her father's adoption by a member, but only relates to it by name and not blood. She has a number of half-siblings through both of her parents.

• Artemisia Eternity was Quicksilver's mother. They were close when she was a child, but grew apart as Quicksilver transitioned and Artemisia divorced her children's father. While Quicksilver wished to regain their bond and to discover her mother's true feelings towards her, it never came to fruition; Artemisia was killed during a war. She feels immensely guilty for never having made the attempt to reconcile.
• Loki Helsi is Quicksilver's father. Spoiled by him as a child and taking after him in more ways than one, it is impossible to mistake these two as anything other than father and daughter. Loki was the most accepting of her transition, being partially female himself, and the pair share a very close relationship. Quicksilver sees her father as a confidant and best friend, but oftentimes hides her more depressive feelings from him.

• Hel Eternity is Quicksilver's sister. They were close as children, but experienced strain and distance when Quicksilver began her transition; Hel was the most opposed to the revelation, much to Quicksilver's dismay. However, after a prophetic dream, the sisters rekindled their relationship. Quicksilver remains awkward around her littermate but does not take their renewed closeness for granted.

3.2  Pack Relations

• Plague D'Angelo: A woman first met under strange circumstances, Quicksilver was fast to force friendship upon the dark D'Angelo when she was accepted into Salsola. She helped Plague recover from neglect and ill health, which in turn was therapeutic for herself. Plague's departure for the Outpost left her silently dispirited and she wishes for her swift return.

• Salvia Eternity: Her Boss, Queen, and maternal aunt, Quicksilver reveres Salvia as someone otherworldly. Like one of her gods she follows her word and law in blind faith and fears her as much as she respects her. Despite their familial relation they are distant and Quicksilver yearns to uphold the Eternity legacy in spirit if not in name.

3.3  Outsider Relations

• —

• —

Minor Relations

• Sex: —
• Friendly: Salsola

• Unfriendly: Casa di Cavalieri, Boreas
• Murders: Rowan

Sociopolitical

• Education and Learning: Taking after her father and the politically charged climate of Salsola, Quicksilver is capable of being socially adept.

• More observant than she is partaking, Quicksilver is able to glean much information from simple encounters, though its usefulness is debatable at times. It is especially difficult to analyze guarded individuals.
• Clever by nature and quick to think on her feet, Quicksilver knows how to adapt in a social situation. She is sensitive to a room's mood and will change her behavior accordingly.

• Amicable in comparison to her shrewd packmates, diplomatic matters come easy to her. Her gentleness in impressionable to the unknowing stranger and can bolster good relations. Her sincerity can be fluid if deception is beneficial.

Hunting

• Education and Learning: Quicksilver was taught various basic skills in the field by her parents and developed them further with self-tutelage.

• Her father being of ingenious mind, he has taught Quicksilver some of his trade—trapping. She is most familiar with the traps that dot Salsola's territory and is able to recreate them, albeit a rudimentary replication.
• She is sufficiently decent at hunting in her Lupus form. She is able to down smaller creatures on her own—though lacks the stamina for long chases—and works excellently in a group effort.

• Bowmanship was a skill she attempted to learn on her own when gifted a bow by Bane. She has difficulty landing hits against moving targets but performs adequately at close range.
• Loathing to use her dagger in combat, she has picked up leather working to make use of her knife. Through trial and error, she is slowly working towards making surplus clothing for Salsola.

Miscellaneous

• Education and Learning: Quicksilver picked up various skills that were taught by numerous individuals, tutoring from Lokr Revlis, self-teaching, etc.

• Quicksilver is able to read and write in both English and Runes with proficiency. Her script is very neat and feminine.

• She was taught how to mount a horse shortly upon her first shift and learned a number of riding styles, including bareback.

January 2017

Largely removed from the Second Boreas Conflict, Quicksilver spends the entirety of the month within the sanctity of Salsola. She does not participate in the war and wishes for her close blood to do the same. Ultimately, her mother falls in battle while defending her father towards the end of the conflict.

February 2017

The war draws to an end and Salsola emerges as the victor. However, they are not without loss. Artemisia's death drives Quicksilver deeper into her depression and riddles her with guilt but remains steadfast in comforting her family during this dark time. She becomes completely avoidant of the public eye.

March 2017

When an early spring comes, Quicksilver's world changes atop its head. A chance encounter with Elphaba Revlis in the Blackwoods results in her realization that she is a witch. She also becomes the caretaker of several kittens after their mother was killed in an altercation with Grievous Eternity; all but one are adopted by various others.
