1. Appearance
1.1 Essentials
Basics
Narcisse's coat is a mixture of browns, reds, and oranges, highlighted with a bit of beige around his throat, front paws, face, and lips. His eyes are a murky green - similar to the fungus that floats on the surface of the water in the Louisiana swamps. Narcisse's body is sturdy. He has thick muscles on his arms and legs, fit for a shaman that likes to travel.
He often wears a rag tied around his head on hot days - to keep the sun off of his dark fur. He tucks what little hair he allows himself inside of it, and the du-rag is one way to keep it out of his face when he's preparing voodoo concoctions and working on his shack. His neck and wrists are adorned with jewelry made of bones and teeth from other luperci - usually his enemies. Sometimes, a necklace of dried ears and tongues is added when he needs to do an important spell later on that day.
Superstitious. Narcisse goes as far as lining is entrance with salt everyday to keep evil Luperci at bay - even though he could be considered one himself. Sometimes, he can't even get into his own house.
THE UGLY
Promiscuous. He's quite open to the idea of casual sex with multiple partners, no matter the gender or species. Thanks to his charm and exotic appearance, being a womanizer has often led to the wolf getting his way, and can be counted as a strength.

Bisexual. Narcisse is perhaps overly sexual. He is confident in his abilities and portrays this soon into conversation. Gender and species matter little to him, as he finds attractive qualities in all.
Spirituality
Louisiana Voodoo - Narcisse is an active practitioner of Louisiana Voodoo, or New Orleans Voodoo. This form emphasizes on Gris-gris, voodoo queens, the snake deity Li Grand Zombi. Despite his family urging for his practice to lead to helpful and selfless advancements, Narcisse often attempts to use his black magic in more negative ways.
Substances

Sabine Perrin du Lac They get along well, considering their differing demeanor. Narcisse is one of few that can put his sibling in a playful mood, and is allowed to tease her without too much trouble resulting from it. Though it is clear that Sabine finds her brother annoying, their relationship is strong.
Narcisse lives in a shabby shack he built himself in a quiet area of Krokar's Firelight Hollow. Beside his shack is a large pen he built himself for his goats and sheep; and in front of it, a safe distance away, is a large fire pit where he cooks and does his rituals. At night, his home is illuminated by a bright orange glow from the fire that always burns in the pit.
