1.  Appearance

Selena, while being a coyote-dominant, is surprisingly somewhat tall size for her species, though only her height contributes to this because of her long limbs. Her most defining feature is her heavy leucism, which is the cause of her ivory pelt despite her lineage consisting mostly coyotes. She carries the typical appearance of a coyote, which consists of long ear, narrowed muzzle, and an overall leanness about her. But, there are some prevailing traits that reflect what little wolfish blood she has: one is that her fur lacks the coarseness of a coyote, and perhaps her height may have stemmed from this heritage. Her body and muscles are well trained, but this is not too defined for it to be a notable feature.

1.1  Coloration

  • Ivory (#FFFFF0): base fur color.
  • Mint Julep (#F1EEC1): Optime hair.
  • Anakiwa (#9DE5FF): eyes.

1.2  Forms

Lupus

Secui

Optime

35 lbs (16 kg)
24 in (60 cm)

140 lbs (64 kg)
36 in (91.5 cm)

160 lbs (73 kg)
5 ft 10 in (179 cm)

She appears like an somewhat over sized coyote, though her burst of height is less obvious in this form.

While it is larger than her Lupus form, Selena is very willowy, thin, and exotic in this form, and it lacks any bulky muscles.

Her height is most noticeable in this form, and similar to Secui form, it is very lean and feminine. Her blonde hair is typically tied back in a simply tie, or crafted into a complex style that varies.

2.  Personality

A brief (2-3 paragraphs) personality description goes here. It'd probably be best to write this last, since you should pull key traits out of the rest of your information and then put it here. This section is good to stick in your forum profile as their "Personality" section.

2.1  Demeanor

Outlook

  • Are they optimistic or pessimistic? Don't just pick a word -- how pessimistic are they and to do what degree does it emerge in their interactions and color their influences? Do they realize how pessimistic they are?

  • Fears: Failure, mockery, powerlessness
  • Motivations: Power, control, progeny
  • Traits: Anxious, dramatic, hot-headed, controlling

Biases

  • Species: If your character hates coyotes, Inferni haets u right back. :'(
  • Non-Luperci: Maybe your character thinks Luperci are really scary, or maybe they think non-Luperci are ignorant backwater hicks. YOU DECIDE.
  • Gender: Maybe your character is a misogynist or maybe they're really frightened of men!
  • Color: Maybe your character hates wolves with white coats, or maybe they hate wolves with blue eyes.
  • Sexuality: Maybe your character rejects anything but a m/f monogamous relationship as dirty and unclean.
  • Age: Maybe your character thinks old people are totally useless, or maybe they think children are just adorable and can do no wrong.

Sexuality

Describe your character's sexuality here -- sexual orientation (e.g., heterosexual) isn't enough of a descriptor, by the way! How about their libido (their desire for sexual activity)? How promiscuous are they? Are they monogamous or polygamous? How do they go about obtaining sexual partners (are they a nervous approacher, or a giant flirt)?

6.  History

Selena Black was born as the sole children between the union of Nicholas Black and Helen Black. While their birth of a white child (being born of a lineage that was known for their dark coats) was a peculiar one that sparked the interest of the Black family, particularly with the older generations, they regarded the small girl as any of their young. While at a young age, she was schooled humanistic activities such as reading and math by her relatives. She was also instilled with their biases concerning species and their own nobility.

While she was highly praised by the family, she was often shut out from the happenings of the city, since they were cautious of her appearance and somewhat rebellious nature. But, after reaching a year of age and proving her skills as a Black, they allowed her to participate in the family business of trading, as well as allowing her to wander the settlement with a guardian. When Selena was older, they sent her out to Canada to prospect their reach of power beyond the east coast and some of England, and she settled down in Inferni for a few months, spending most of her time within the clan and using her spare time to read up on the local area the clan was situated.

The woman left Nova Scotia in the fall and returned to her family with information about the packs and the area that surrounded them. Because of this feat, she was welcomed back into the Black family with open arms, and she was drawn even deeper into the circle that very few of the family even knew about. During this time, she became more influenced by them, and eventually she let go of her childish rebellion, and embraced a more dark personality that reflected the family. She advanced within the circle, and by the summer of 2012, she was one of the figure heads of the business and was the youngest to be in such a position.

She oftentimes travels between Europe and North America, and sometimes even frequents to Canada to check on some spots where the Blacks had established an outpost.

Some players choose to continue their timeline history with important events from the thread archive while other players are content to use this section solely as a "before 'Souls" section.
