1.  Characteristics

1.1  Appearance

General Physical Appearance

Roa is undeniably a wolf-dog hybrid, she towers above the average wolf with a slender grace that subtly betrays her Irish wolfhound ancestry in all forms. Immense and muscular like most wolfhounds, there is an undeniable grace in her stride. Her face takes on the characteristics of a wolf, the only hint of her wolfhound genetics are in the slight flop to her ears just like her mother. The likeness between Roa and her mother is striking, only slight distinctions in their pelts.

A lavish tapestry of blacks, greys, browns and whites were inherited mostly from her mother. The raven black is brushed over her lips and following a splash up her nose, ascending in a delicate arc from her nose, up between her eyelids before fanning out again and following down to the nape of her neck, it is only stopped by a ring of white at the base. Another ebony splash sits between her shoulders, which runs a thin line down to her elbows, and brushes along her sides before her underbelly shifts to white. There is a small saddle of black over her backside as well as the base of her tail. Dark, gunmetal grey can be found bordering most of the inky black in her fur, splashed along the sides of her lips, separating the black from touching her eyes, and decorating the backs of her ears. The black also fades into the same gunmetal color along her ruff, as well as brushed over her forelegs, fading into the stark white. The color remains intermingled along the sides of her chest, and extending nearly to her hind toes, the majority of her tail is this same color, with a lighter grey faded near the underside.

Two-toned earthy browns encircle the rest of the mask on her face, enwrapping the underside of her neck, shoulders, and sides giving a beautiful depth to her fur that breaks up most of the monochrome. Lastly, a pallid white frames her eyes, over her eyebrows, and along the fluff of her cheeks that cascades down the front side of her neck and throat. Two distinctive streaks can be seen in the fluff at the base of her neck. The white continues on her undersides, right down her forelegs on the inside to her paws. It continues, starting high up on the back, the snowy white brushes the thick fur at her hocks, down the back of her legs before stopping at her toes. Finally, her bottlebrush tail is dipped in the same ghastly shade.

Her eyes are a delicate interplay of muted blues and soft greys with only subtle shifts in color from the outer rim of the iris, transitioning from a lighter slate blue, melting into a gentle gradient of lighter blues like twin pools of water on an overcast day.

Roa’s humanization is moderate, as she tends to be in optime roughly 75% of the time. She makes use of her lupus and secui forms for specific situations such as hunting or tracking. She does wear clothing as well as armor specially made for her by her father, but is not always seen in this armor unless ready for battle.

Defining Features

Size

  • Lupus: 130 lbs (59 kg) — 41 in (104 cm)
  • Secui: 180 lbs (82 kg) — 50 in (127 cm)
  • Optime: 260 lbs (118 kg) — 6 ft 11 in (211 cm)

Scars
Most of Roa’s scars are buried beneath the dense fur that adorns her body. None in particular stand out.

Other Identifiers

  • Scent: Natural fragrances of the resin of pine needles, briny sea breeze, and the earthy aroma of the forest.
  • Body Language, Posture & Quirks: Roa carries herself with confidence, standing tall and proud. Her posture emanates an air of self-assurance. Her movements are always purposeful, with an agile poise that speaks of her prowess. One notable quirk is the glint of mischief in her eyes that hints at her spirited personality within.
  • Speech: Depending on the mood you catch her in, Roa’s voice can be soft and seductive, or harsh and commanding. She speaks with a confidence that comes from knowing her own strength and abilities. Her voice is distinctly feminine, but has a rough, smoky lilt to her words.

1.2  Personality

Summary: Courageous, independent, strong-willed, resourceful, fiercely protective, passionate, argumentative, spirited, impulsive, self-sacrificing.

Roa possesses a fiery and indomitable spirit that sets her apart as a formidable warrior, a skilled hunter, and with the potential to be an exceptional leader if she could rein in her impulsiveness. She exudes courage in the face of adversity, and no matter the challenge that comes up against her she demonstrates an unwavering resolve. Roa prefers to forge her own path rather than conform to expectations of those around her as she is fiercely independent.

Roa has always had a strong will that drives her actions, her determination and perseverance setting her apart from others at an early age. She is resourceful in her ability to adapt and overcome obstacles through creative solutions. Fiercely protective of those she holds close, she is a guardian first and foremost, ready to confront any threat that may come across her path.

The Nemain warrior is very observant of her surroundings, but has a hard time reading others and their true intentions at times. This is because she always wants to believe in the inherent goodness and believes deep down there is something redeemable even in the worst of others. Her fiery passion fuels her every endeavor, infusing every action with intensity and purpose. She does not half-ass anything, especially if it is important to her. This passion can sometimes lead to argumentative tendencies as she defends her beliefs fiercely.

Despite this spirited nature, Roa demonstrates a strong sense of justice and loyalty, standing opposed to any injustice and oppression she sees in the world, even if it means risking her own life. Her compassion for those around her has her always willing to offer a helping hand to whoever is in need. This woman embodies the essence of a warrior queen, inspiring those around her with her courage and determination, as well as her selfless devotion for those she cares about.

Incentives
  • Motivations: Honor, loyalty, justice and the protection of those she holds close.
  • Fears: Not being able to protect those she cares about, not being able to read others and their true intentions, failing and being made to feel powerless.
  • Likes: Animal husbandry, horses, hunting, fighting, wrestling, training, learning new things (even if it frustrates her).
  • Dislikes: Injustice, oppression, others who are not genuine, drugs.
Biases
  • Others: Believes in the inherent goodness in others, even in the worst of them.
  • Packs: No particular bias against any particular pack, but does not like those who make their people live in oppression.
Archetyping
  • Demeanor: fiery, passionate and intense at times, Roa is very much an extrovert and dominates in most situations (but that could mainly be due to her size).
  • Outlook: Optimistic. No matter the obstacle, there is always a way to overcome it. The world is a beautiful place that is worth fighting for and life is also a challenge to be embraced.
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
Dedicated to helping others in need, but they may not always follow the rules or traditions of their society.
Often willing to bend the rules or even break them if they believe it is in the best interests of the people they are trying to help..
Willing to fight for justice and equality, even if it means putting themselves in danger..
Despite their willingness to do whatever it takes, Neutral Good characters are still kind and compassionate people who want to make the world a better place.
Sexuality & Gender
  • Sexuality: Roa is not an overly sexual creature, she is strictly monogamous. Will show affection if she lets someone into her world. Gender does not sway her, although she likes very masculine men that can best her in battle. Women, she could go to either extreme (extremely feminine or extremely masculine).
  • Gender: Believes that both are equal and deserve to be treated equally.
Spirituality and Substances
  • Spirituality: Roa is influenced by her mother’s Celtic background which is also heavily influenced by Paganism and Wicca in which she possesses a deep connection to nature and the natural world. She sees divinity in all things, recognizing the sacredness of trees, rocks, rivers, and animals. Spirituality revolves around honoring the cycles of life, death, and rebirth, with rituals and festivals marking the changing seasons and key moments in the agricultural calendar. Deities and spirits are revered, and ancestors are remembered and respected. Magic is practiced as a way to connect with the divine and bring about positive change, while meditation and divination are used to gain spiritual insights.
  • Substances: Drinks ale / mulled wine, but not to the point where she is out of control unless something is to be celebrated, then things could get a little out of hand.

1.3  Skills

Listed skills are ones which pertain to this character's significant interest, they have talent in, or are otherwise noteworthy. Mastered skills will be notated.

Primary Focus: Warrior, Animal Husbandry, Hunting
  • Weaponry/Combat (Mastered)

From a young age Roa has taken a great interest in swordplay and fighting. Her mother and father taught her everything they know to defend herself. Her main skill is with that of a sword, as well can handle a dagger, shields, bows and hand-to-hand fighting (feral included). Roa is aggressive in battle, and fueled by her instincts to act and react. She is also adept at fighting from horseback, but prefers to be on the ground. She trains and spars daily with her family (specifically Kadir/Hibiki/siblings) since she was a puppy but never shies away from training with others. She is completely comfortable in holding her own and can wrestle with the best of them. Her size as well as her agileness gives her the ability to not only stand her ground strength-wise, but able to evade and deflect/redirect another’s strikes. In their yard they had a separate ring with targets and dolls made from straw, burlap and wood.

Further details...
  • Weapons: swords, daggers, shields, bow/arrow, hand-to-hand, wrestling.
  • Hunting/Tracking (Mastered)

Taken out on hunts from a young age with her mother in particular, it was one of the many things that bonded them. She was taught to track in both lupus and optime, as well as how to best bring down prey no matter the size. She can hunt on four-legs, two-legs or from horseback, although she prefers the old way of hunting in her lupus form for a challenge. Her tracking extends to tracking others that are trying to escape her notice.

Further details...
  • Skinning: Proficient in skinning and cutting up larger prey and preparing them, she knows how to put to use every part of the animal and even cracking the bones to get the marrow out and creating broths from the carcasses.
  • ''Trapping:'’ can create basic noose and snares for trapping animals, knows the best places to do so, and how to recover an animal.
  • Fishing: growing up in Portland she fished with her siblings often and while she has very basic skills Roa does not have the patience to sit around all day trying to catch fish.
  • Animal Husbandry (Journeyman)

Roa picked up the basics from her mother in the Citadel as it was very important to their family, culture and way of life. She has developed an interest in this, but most of her concentration has remained on horses (riding, training, breaking). Roa has come to learn about the breeding, raising and caring for most livestock for food and their by-products.

Further details...
Auxiliary Skills & Hobbies
  • Carpentry

Can build uncomplicated structures mostly relating to housing for animals (barns/coops/fencing/etc) and reinforcing old structures. This was learned from her mother and father as Kadir helped to head New Caledonia’s extension of the stalls/barn for New Caledonia. Knows her way around tools, but is much better to be guided and watched by someone who knows what they are doing.

  • Blacksmithing

Worked with her father Hibiki in the forge he helped build at The Citadel. She has picked up on some blacksmithing techniques as she spent a lot of her childhood and young adulthood around it as he smithed weapons and armors day-in and day-out.

  • Reading/Writing

Was taught to read from a young age and write after she learned to shift. Her writing is very basic and just barely legible as it's not a skill she finds she uses often.
