Ekaterina Voronovna

(redirected from Characters.Ekaterina)

Ekaterina Voronovna is the daughter of Mikhail Voronovna and Brynhild Njord, born near Moscow. She is currently a Risna of Vinátta. She can usually be found doing some type of work as she likes to keep her hands busy. Even her free time is spent practicing with her sword or bow.

Appearance

Ekaterina possesses a unique blend of genes to say the least. Her base coat isn't too odd, a deep shade of Indian Tan (#522100), but she has many markings in both lighter and darker shades of her coat. Her legs, face, and tail are dipped in a rich Dark Ebony (#341703), though two paws & her tail tip have Potters Clay (#9b5e34) fur. She has some brindled markings as well, almost giving the appearance of stripes, though in her long fur they are fairly broken up. The back of her neck and her rump both have Dark Ebony (#341703) patches of fur that fade into the rest of her coat with brindle. Her ears are also tipped in Dark Ebony (#341703) and her chest is Potters Clay (#9b5e34). All of these are clearly visible in all three forms. Her eyes are rimmed with both a darker and a lighter shade of fur, highlighting the brilliant Brandy Punch (#d68228) color of her gaze. Pueblo (#723411) colored brindling is scattered through her fur as well, highlighting her darker markings.

Build and Species

While compared to many females Ekaterina is quite large, she was actually quite dwarfed by her father who stood at over 7 feet due to his Great Dane heritage. She took more from her wolf mother's height but not her build. She is quite slender and more athletic than feminine with particularly long legs making it fairly clear that she is more than wolf.

Forms

Personality

She is an individualist first and last, but as an instinctual pack animal she struggles with the need to belong and the want to separate herself from others. Due to her solitary upbringing with only her father who was nowhere near strict, she tends to avoid authority figures and resents restrictions, therefore in a pack setting she would likely find herself a useful place that would not involve too much direct contact with those in power. Her fondness for animals would allow her to spend her time in useful ways without disrupting her independence.

Though she feels the need to be part of a group, she will not actively seek out the company of others and sometimes seems cold and unapproachable. She spends most of her free time tending to Toska and practicing with her weapons, finding little use in more artistic skills. If her fatal flaw were to be named it would be her pride. She typically refuses to ask for help, even when she knows she needs it, and acts brashly in order to prove herself. She is also fairly easy to anger and has an explosive temper when set off, though she tends to curse in Russian rather than English.

Demeanor

She is a very dominant wolf, something she struggles to control in her current low-ranked position. Often just the way she stands makes this clear to other canines and she has to actively make herself appear more submissive. Her extreme pride makes this all the more difficult.

History

Ekaterina Voronovna, was born a shifter in the forests of Russia near Moscow on August 5th, 2011 to Mikhail Voronovna & Brynhild Njord. Her mother died shortly after she was delivered due to hemorrhaging, leaving her father to raise his only child alone. Her mother's family was from Norway, purebred Eurasian wolves. Her father's mother was a Russian Eurasian wolf, while his father was a Great Dane from England, though his father was also Russian. However her great-grandfather died when her grandfather was very young so he grew up speaking English, meaning that Ekaterina is fluent in both Russian and English though she prefers English like her father.

The lived in a small house relatively close to Moscow though outside the urbanized area, where they kept a small garden and a few livestock, including horses. For her first birthday, her father bought her a horse, a young black draft horse, likely of Percheron or Shire origin due to her size at 17 hands tall. Ekaterina named her Toska. Shortly after, she found a scraggly black kitten, half eaten by fleas. He became an excellent mouser for the house and stables and Ekaterina named him Baba Yaga. Baba has learned to speak high speech fluently, and Toska seems to understand most of what Ekaterina says to her.

From the time she could hold them, Mikhail trained his daughter to use both a sword and a bow, the latter used for purely hunting, while the sword was so she could defend herself if the need ever arose. She is decent with both weapons, though continues to practice regularly with her personal sword and bow. Mikhail never divulged where he learned to use a sword so skillfully and Ekaterina has always assumed he picked it up merely out of boredom. What she doesn't know is that Mikhail's history is much darker than that and he changed his name and moved into the woods as a loner to protect himself and his daughter. Voronovna is actually a Russian patronym rather than a proper surname. It means 'Daughter of Raven' which is why Mikhail never introduced himself as Mikhail Voronovna. To a native Russian it would make no sense. He named her that because his real name is Voron and it was the only way he could let his name be carried on.

When she was nearing her second birthday, she decided it was time to go off on her own. She knew of the large group of her kind that resided in Nova Scotia and chose that as her destination. A few months of travel finally landed her on the shores of Nova Scotia with her cat and her horse.
