[glow=black,6,500]
Basically...
Name:
Daema Hellfire
Age:
Approximately three and a half human years, translating to a physical age of about twenty-five.
Gender:
Female
Height:
Just under three feet at the shoulder, approximately 23 inches; she stands just above the average man's hips.
Weight:
A healthy 30 pounds, give or take. While this may seem exceptionally unhealthy, due to hollow bones it is only natural for her to be light.
Specie/Heritage:
Her mother, and all the beasts on the beautiful femora's side of the family, was a wolf of the purest blood with a pelt as black as the darkest night due to the dense forest environment she originated from. However, Miega migrated, as a loner, to the far north and found herself confronted by an odd beast who would become her mate.
Daema's father was a mighty beast, as white as Miega was black, of canine features, virtually an enormous albino Belgian Tervuren, what with his father being a Belgian Tervuren/husky mix. But, nestled between his shoulder blades was a pair of gray wings from his mother's side, a she-wolf with uncertain ancestry.
Daema refers to herself as a "Belgian wolfess--" and I'd dare anyone to question her title.
Quote:
To a gaping youngling, "If you stay that way long enough--no, you're face won't freeze that way--I'll be forced to hold you down and clean you for hours. And hours... And hours."
For Apperance's Sake...[/u][/font][/size]
Body Build:
Long in leg and broad in shoulder, her "barrel" is more muscular than it has any right to be, as are her haunches. Her brow is strong and high, giving her a happy but serious expression. Large, heavily coned and pointed ears are generally perked attentively, swiveling like a hunter's ears constantly.
Her paws, like a wolf's, are enormous, but more on the dainty side due to her husky ancestry.
Feather Information:
There is no fur on this eccentric she-wolf. She is covered it feathers that are almost short for fur and are much more dense than normal feathers with a more fur-like feel and appearance to them. Colorwise, she's rather unusual. Her back is dark brown, leading along to make a sort of "mask" over her eyes, but her underbelly/tail and inside of her legs are white with a few speckles of brown here and there. Though she'd no notion of this when she was young, her first trip to the shoreline showed her that her markings with those of an osprey, also know as a fishing hawk.
Wings:
Her body's design is carried along to a pair of enormous wings, brown on the top with brown and black flight feathers streaked with white. The inside of her wings on the top are white with gray-black speckles/streaks.
Markings:
As previously stated, her eyes are framed--mostly underneath--by dark brown which leads around her head down her neck to a brown "saddle," legs and the upper portion of her tail. The rest of her is white with black, gray and brown speckles, save for her ears which are black.
On her forehead, between and above her eyes, is a simple brown heart with the "line" of her forehead leading from the center of it.
Eyes:
An ice blue that sends chills down the spine of the most hardened warrior, her eyes are as expressive as the lips of a human, lighting up with warmth--or narrowing faintly with well-disguised rage visible no where else in her body.
Nose:
Her nose is, simply, black. Nothing exceptionally eye-catching about her nose; it's just a nose.
Inner-Ear:
Accented exceptionally by the black outer-ear, the feathers and skin of the inside of her ears are white, a bit speckled like the rest of her white feathers.
Paws:
Her paws, as can be expected from her lineage, are large--all four toes more than easily visible and spreading eagerly apart for easier walking. The bottoms of her paws are white; her paw pads are pink.
Personally...[/u][/font]
Family:
Mother; Miega Din
A stunning black she-wolf, Miega was a proud alphess with a firm hold and a heart of gold for her packmates. She and her mate had an affinity for eachother that was hard to rival. {|Deceased|}
Father; Vintan Hellfire
Vintan was one of few albino creatures to not only survive but to even thrive in the wild. The only noteable effect of his albinoism, other than making him white with pink eyes, was that his eyesight was poor. Unlike his rather dainty in comparison mate and Daema, Vintan was a huge, muscle-packed beast built for the harshest cold conditions. {|Deceased|}
Sister(s); Bluefire Diamond
Small and dainty, more husky than anything, Blue was aptly named. Not only was she pleasant to look at, with her blueish-white pelt and warm gold eyes, but she was also as tough as they come. Their parents often joked that she could survive an avelanche. {|Living with the pack(presumably)|}
Uy Wildfire
Built more like her father, Uy was expected to leave the mountains since birth; her coloration gave her away far too quickly. She was a vibrant mix of oranges, reds and red-browns, creating a scene much like a wildfire, in fact. However, she was perfect for the dessert and took over the pack with the help of a loner male when they were forced from their home. She ruled from behind her inexperienced, easily manipulated mate happily and with as much love for her pack as her mother had had. {|Thriving with the Pack|}
Brother; Silvin Whitetrench
Silvin was the runt of the litter, a squirrely, hyper little omega with a silvery pelt and "blue-as-sunshine" eyes much like Daema's. Having still been young and "pliable," so to speak, he was taken by the invading humans to raise as a pet. {|"Missing"|}
Mentality:
Likes: Daema has an undieing affinity for pups of all kinds; someday, she will make an excellent mother. She loves birds and they seem naturally attracted to her, perhaps seeing her as a very strange, very large bird herself.
Dislikes: Having spent most of her life with only Koko for company, other than the occasional loner or two, Daema is a bit terrified of crowds and shies away from them like a skittish rabbit.
She hates fighting with a passion, seeing it as a sort of mindless and idiotic act.
Personality: A thoughtful she-wolf, Daema is friendly and highly intelligent, articulating and speaking with an almost exaggerated precision, often slowly and carefully. She usually brings out the best in people, though occasionally she gets the brunt of their worst. She always tries to break up fights and, with those she can't, like ones involving an alpha, she'll pace and whine nervously, usually getting as close as safely possible.
History:
She was born to the north in a well-forested mountain range populated by a small pack of five, discluding the pups. Her coloration was surprisingly well suited to the environment, despite the dark brown being on the top; she was well-camouflaged all year around and the pack waited eagerly for their odd little feathered youngster, born with a soft fuzz she still had beneath the feathers, to grow up and join in the hunt. Her keen nose was made all the keener by being forced to find mice buried in the snow for the good part of a the year, her eyes became used to the glare of the sun on ice and were as good as an eagle's. However, before her first year had passed, Man came to their forest. Those wolves scattered. By the time they thought to keep the pack together, the humans had killed her parents and the other three pack members were on the other side of the mountains with two of the four pups--the third was missing, and Daema was the fourth.
Daema chose to latter of two choices--chance the humans to find her pack, or become a loner. She headed south, inadvertently heading towards the beach--her pack ended up on the dessert side of the mountain range while she got lucky and ended up in the forest. (( Mountain ranges catch clouds and, thusly, one side is always hot and dry(not always a dessert, but more often than not) and the other is humid and lush with plant life. )) The first time she set foot on a beach, she'd spotted an enormous bird nest nestled into the cliff not far away and decided to investigate. It turned out to be an osprey nest with two babies in it. Unfortunately, their father had died and their mother was having a very difficult time supplying for them. Always the helpful, cub-loving creature(she was two and a half at the time), she took the weaker of the two and learned to hunt fish in order to raise it, deciding to name him "Kokoyone;" Koko for short. The very confused osprey became her companion for life, riding on her back or flying above--or alongside her when she chose to fly.
To her surprise--and luck--her coloration turned out to be very practical for most every climate and, at one point, she came to the conclusion that she was, in actuality, ill-suited to mountains on account that her feather's insulation was not snow-tight, though it was warm enough in the winters of an average area and cool enough in fairly bad summers.
After many a season of traveling, she found herself in a place that suited her very well. A place where a wolfdog was a welcome sight indeed.
Special Quirks...[/b]
Senses: Her hearing is excellent; she can hear a squirrel from a mile away in dead winter. Of course, this isn't really as impressive as it sounds considering that, in winter, it is usually exceptionally still and quiet. However, it is rather good.
As previously stated, her sight is as good as an eagle's, allowing her to pinpoint a rabbit from in the clouds. Of course, this makes things that are close up rather blurry but her eyes can adjust an enormous amount.
Voice: Daema's voice is a true alto, going from low to exceptionally high with ease. It has a rough scratch to it with the oddest hint of a hawk's challenging scream to it, a strangely pleasant combination, forming a thick, full voice with the hint of a vibrato(the "tremor" often heard in more voice-focused music).
Flight: Though at first she was more awkward than any other fledgling, she learned how to fly gracefully thanks to her father and is now an excellent flier.
