At First Glance

Build: Willow is around average height and weight for a female wolf. Her frame is quite compact and steady. Her left ear is slightly torn from a former fight, it sometimes flops over and bends slighty. Her tail is a bit long, it's fur is thin yet poofy. She has lean legs that are slightly longer than average, although it's barly noticable. Willows muzzle is a tad narrow and long, encasing small piercing ivories. Her paws are very small, she's very light on her feet so the elk and/or other prey don't hear her right away.
Fur Texture: Willow's top layer of fur is sleek and silky, she enjoys swimming so the water drips right off of her. While her under coat is soft and warm, keeping her body temperature even durring harsh weather.
Fur Color: Willow's back, sides, and tail are a rich golden mahogany. While her under belly, chest, lean legs, and under her muzzle are a warm welcoming honey shade. Her fore right paw, top of her muzzle, and receptors are a deep chocolatey brown.

Markings: Aside from her chocolatey shade in small places, none.
Scars: She has a few small scars on her fore legs, not really noticable at all, although her left ear is torn.

What She Hides
~Willow the Warm-Hearted~ Still_10

Personality: Willow is a sweet fae, she may be quiet and a bit shy at first, but she'll warm up eventually. She is very sneaky and loves to stalk other creatures, whether it be prey, a simple butterfly, or even another wolf. She is highly open to a select few, but sometimes she doesn't want certain wolves to know anything of her past, it depends how she feels towards you. She loves hunting, while she hunts she is in her own world. Willow's a clever little canid, devising plans swiftly. She developes trust issues with certain wolves, depening on how you act around her. She no longer believes it when someone says "I'll be back".
History: Willow was born into a pack around 16 members strong. They were divine creatures, swift and harmonized with their actions. There were two mating pairs for the past 3 years, Willow's parents, the pack alphas, Eros and Autumn. Then the beta pair, Channing and Holo. Holo and Channing were young, about 2 years of age; the first year of mating failed for them. For Eros and Autumn, they birthed 4 puppies. 3 died at a few weeks old due to an unknown illness, the forth who survived was weak and a tad smaller than he should have been. They doubted his life, unsure of how long he'll live, but he managed to pull through. The next year, once again the beta's mating failed, as did the Alpha's. They assumed it was their territory, it was slowly dying. The caribou fled the land during migration and haven't returned. The pack was malnourished, the alphas surviving son from the year before set out on a journey, in search for new land.
   Many months passed yet he never returned, Eros and Autumn accepted their son's death. The next mating season the pack moved. Autumn was pregnant, however the beta still infertile. Their pack was small as the litters haven't came and roamers stopped entering the dead land. The pack ventured north; the weather got colder and still no food in sight. The pack could no longer take it, they collapsed; no food for weeks, some members were old or sick, also the below freezing weather. All lowers fell, soon followed by the collapse of the beta pair, and then Autumn, Eros tired to help but collapsed as well. Soon after the snow started falling upon them, Autumn gave birth to one small beautiful light mahogany fae, the mother glanced at her, in her last breath she whispered "Willow, my beautiful Willow." Autumn's head fell to the earth no longer moving, her pale blue optics shut.
   The snow started to cover the helpless freezing pup. Soon a shady brute darted towards her, grasping her with his maw and taking her to a den where his mate and pups lie. His name, Koda, mated to Ashka, for life. He raised Willow up with his pups; Fatal and Lunar, he often called Willow "Alpine" which means snow covered, since that's how she was found. Willow became a sneaky arcane huntress, around 2 years of age.
   One day the ink black brute told her his story, revealing he is her elder brother whom never returned. She never knew she had siblings, or any family for that matter. He explained how he was sent off in search of better land for the clan. He had promised he would return no matter what it took, for a better life for them all. But one day he found Ashka, they mated, and soon desired their own pack. He made the hard decision to remain where he was, in the snowy terrain with Ashka. Then a crisp freezing afternoon day while patrolling he caught the familiar scent, he raced to the origin. He found his former pack, limp in the freshly fallen snow, upon his arrival the members were already no longer breathing, yet one small fae survived. Willow was confused and angered about the brutes story, if Koda had come back like he was supposed to the pack could have moved earlier. They wouldn't have died, Willow growled and snapped at her brother, they fought, her left ear was torn during the fuss. The snow beneath her strained crimson, he brother whined and backed away, he hadn't meant to harm her. She snarled and swiped at him scratching his face then she turned and fled.
   She began her journey, for the first day or so she heard her brother howling for her to come back to him. She never looked back and kept moving forward, never hearing nor seeing Koda again. To this day the scene runs through her mind, she feels horrid for attacking her brother. "It's too late to turn back now..." Is the main sentence that she repeats to her self.

Strengths: She's sly and clever, able to weasal her way out of situations verbally and physically. Her swift and agile ways make her a wondrous huntress, able to bob and weave when needed.
Weaknesses: She's not the largest fae around, if a large wolf attacked her she wont have the advantage. Her trust issues ruin much for her, she may turn on you if you lie often to her, she may be small but she's one fiesty fae while angered.
