• Pack: Salsola (20 Sept 2015)
• Rank: The Tradesman (01 Dec 2016)
• Co-rank: --

Salsola members may assume and reference the following without discussion/asking:

• Seeing Vesta...
  • around the territory, either alone or with Scorpius, Serene, Sidious, Senua, or her NPCs
  • out patrolling, scouting, tracking, hunting
  • sparring or training with her weapons
  • working with hides and leather

Physical

• Species: Despite being predominantly dog there is not much about her to suggest she is anything other than an average wolf. Her legs and overall body length are slightly longer in comparison to a purebred wolf and her fur is much softer and sleeker as well. She is not as thickly built as a purebed wolf and is more noticeably slender, especially around the chest and abdomen areas. Her tail is also slightly longer and tapers differently in shape from base to tip, starting out thinner and ending thicker before tapering off into a point.
• Fur: Her fur is much more soft and plush than an average wolf, though no less hardy and weather resistant. Like all arctic breeds she goes though a heavy period of shedding and her fur differs considerably between the warmer and colder months. During the autumn and winter seasons her fur is very thick and fluffy while in the spring and summer months it is noticeably thinned and sleek, laying flatter and closer to her body. The color remains the same regardless of the season.
  • Optime Hair: She prefers to keep her hair short so it doesn't get in her way, but because she cuts and grooms it herself it is often uneven, choppy, and messy. Still, it is very soft, smooth, silky, and despite its unkempt appearance still kept very clean.
• Facial Features: Her face is almost completely indistinguishable from a purebred wolf aside from marginally larger eyes and ears and an ever so slightly more tapered muzzle. She does have slightly less feathering around her cheeks and ears and always seems to be carrying an icy scowl upon her otherwise attractive features, which if not marred by scars would have been considered beautiful.
• Build and Size: She does not differ much from a purebred wolf in build and size, though leans more toward the larger side of the spectrum than the smaller, this due in most part to her longer legs and body and not so much due to her overall size.
  • Lupus: It is extremely hard to tell her apart from a purebred wolf in lupus form, though there are subtle differences. She has longer slimmer legs and a longer slimmer body compared to an average wolf and her fur is much softer and silkier. Compared to her secui and optime forms she is graceful, agile, and swift in lupus form, appearing much more in tune with the way her body moves than her other forms.
  • Secui: Vesta is beastly in secui form, gaining a considerable amount of muscle and bulk, making her much more stocky and robust compared to her lupus form. Her legs are slightly thicker and stronger in this form to aid in moving her bigger stronger body, which looks almost bear-like in size and appearance. She becomes a force to be reckoned with.
  • Optime: She is tall, slender, and sculpted, sporting a runner's build and carrying most of her muscle in her arms, legs, and core. Her muscles are defined but not masculine and she still retains the feminine curves of her sex, though the somewhat graceless way she carries herself often hides that fact.
• Humanization: Average. She enjoys the use of weapons, tools, clothing, and so on but doesn't go out of her way to humanize herself. She doesn't wear clothing on a regular basis and only does so when the need arises, preferring instead to wear as little as possible. She does enjoy little adornments like jewelry and other trinkets and does commonly wear those things.

Modifications

• Long smooth slice running diagonally from the middle of her throat upward along the right side of her jaw.
• Short diagonal cut at the upper outer corner of her right eye.
• Elongated X-shaped slice just above her left breast.
• Three long claw slashes horizontal along her left side.
• Long jagged slice running diagonally along her right hip.
• Various nicks and cuts along her arms and legs, hidden by her fur.

Clothing

• A single dark grey long tunic style t-shirt with a faded light blue stylized sunflower printed on the front. She wears it like a normal shirt, wraps it around her breasts like a tube top, ties it around her hips like a wrap, or bunches it around her neck like a scarf; just to name a few of its uses.
• In the winter she sports a dark grey hooded poncho made from a thick but lightweight material with a wide neck opening so she can quickly discard it whenever she needs to jump into battle. The hood is trimmed with winter white rabbit fur and the extra wide neck opening can be secured tighter with a wooden toggle.
• A handful of fancy dresses for special occasions.

Accessories

• A three inch (8cm) feather pendant carved out of unknown bone that hangs on a thin leather cord dyed black along with a shorter thicker braided leather necklace that hangs closer to her throat, adorned with a round blue stone and silver beads.
• She wears one leather bracelet on each wrist. On her left wrist is a fairly ornate braided brown one adorned with wood, stone, and silver beads as well as a small silver leaf charm. On her right wrist is a much more simple one of darker brown adorned with a pearl charm and a silver charm.
• Two custom-made hand forged steel swords she stole off an old master after she killed him. She took the leather belt and sheaths that go along with them as well as all the male's supplies for keeping the blades clean and sharp. Both swords are identical and are approximately 34 inches (86cm) long with a six inch (15cm) grip wrapped in black dyed leather. The swords are both constructed from entirely one piece and do not have a guard, making them excellent for cutting and stabbing but not at all good for blocking. Both swords are completely black and silver only where the blades have been sharpened.
• She is almost never without at least one of her two knives on her somewhere. One is a three inch (8cm) spring loaded folding knife she affectionately calls her "gut-sticker" while the other is a six inch (15cm) long dagger with a gut blade she uses more for utility than for defending herself. These were stolen from a different master along with the thigh sheath she uses to carry them around - which is tied to her sword belt more often than not.

Sexuality

Vesta is heterosexual (Kinsey 1) and is only interested in males but has a fondness and appreciation for strong warrior type females like herself. She believes in monogamy and frowns upon polygamy, regarding it as unnatural but in reality it's because she is mildly possessive. She is romantic at her core but does very well to hide it and tries to be the dominant one in the relationship, always making the first moves romantically and sexually. This is especially true when in heat, when she acquires a "take-what-is-mine" sort of mentality, which has often gotten her in trouble.

Substances

During her enslavement she was introduced to a variety of substances including but not limited to alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, salvia, opium, and mushrooms but due to a strict and non-addictive personality she was able to stave off dependence on any substance. She detests smoking anything since she does not like the burning choking feeling of smoke, she doesn't like what hallucinogens do to her head, and hates the lethargic feeling of sedatives. About the only the she's willing to tolerate is alcohol and only in moderation, as she does not like to dull her senses for too long.

Spirituality

She was brought up on a bastardized mixture of Scandinavian mythology - chiefly Norse and Germanic - that was quickly buried by whatever her masters wanted her to believe. For one period or another she feigned faith in Catholicism, Satanism, and the ancient Egyptian mythos. Now, she is mostly spiritual, believing not so much in a higher power, but in the powers of the earth and spirits around her. She is by no means religious or dogmatic though and prefers to rely on her instincts and wits more than anything else.

• Her father taught her most of her combat and hunting skills, focusing on that more than a normal young life, so she picked up on it fast and mastered it quickly. After being sold into slavery she acquired a variety of skills from her various masters either by close observation or direct instruction, and by constant repetition was able to become accustomed to those skills. She regularly trains to maintain the skills she is already good at and improve upon the ones she hasn't fully grasped yet.
