She usually dresses in jeans and a t shirt, you will rarely ever find her dressed up and if she has to she usually opts for a suit complete with a tie as she isn't really fond of girly clothing. She also has a scar of her shoulder where she got into a fight with another female wolf challenging her for dominance.

Shane is a very take charge type of person. She likes to care for people and always lends a hand when needed.

She can be a klutz at times too so watch out.

History: From birth to now...at least 3 paragraphs.

Shane grew up in a small town just outside of Los Angeles on the beach, the only constant in her life at the time being the paparazzi whom would show up trying to get photos of her parents. Living with her parents was kind of hard as they expected a lot from her; her mother worked as a professional therapist in Los Angeles, even giving therapy to the stars while her dad was one of the most sought after plastic surgeons in the city. Both her mom and dad expected her to make a name for herself to do something big but for Shane, she just wanted to live a quiet normal life away from the publicity and limelight. It just ain't her style at all.

As a young girl, she was sent to an all girls private school, a very strict one at that. If you stepped out of line, you were kicked out, no questions asked. She went there from elementary all the way through high school where she first started realizing that she was attracted to the same sex. She also took karate classes on the side as that seemed to be the only extracurricular activity that caught her interest.

At the end of her high school year, she had a girlfriend, one whom she was deeply in love with but when she decided to finally come out and tell her family, they went ballistic, telling her it was wrong and that it wasn't acceptable.

Angry and sad, she stormed out of the house. Walking alone on the streets near her house, trying to calm herself down. Unfortunantly she choose a really bad time to take off as it was nighttime and a full moon at that. She heard howling in the distant but ignored it, she had heard of lycans being around the area and figured it to be some lone wolf rather than lycan.

She couldn't have been more wrong. A loud howl sounded, it was the only warning she got as a black wolf lunged at her, knocking her to the ground and sinking it's teeth into the flesh of her shoulder, ripping her skin apart. She fought it off as best as she could, screaming for help as the wolf tried to attack her face when someone showed up, flashing a light on it and scaring it away. She laid in a pool of her own blood until the man who'd saved her called 911 and they arrived moments later, carting her off to the hospital.

She awoke hours later with bandages all over her shoulder and several stitches in it. She didn't think much of it until she went home and the next night found herself transforming into a black wolf like the one that'd attacked her. It didn't help that she was alone in all this as her parents refused to be seen near their gay daughter, afraid it would ruin their image. So that left her to figure out what she was going to do with her life, especially now that she was a lycan.

She made her desicion and explained to her girlfriend what had happened to her, even showing her so she'd believe her. The girl still stuck by her and she and her girlfriend moved out together soon after, Shane packed her things and they left, moving into an apartment in San Diego, far away from both of their families. Things were going great until one day Shane impulsively signed up for the military, thinking it to be no big deal. She got her acceptance form a week later telling her she would be shipped off to Europe for her first month of training in the army. Her girlfriend was upset by this news but accepted it, wanting to support her.

So the next day, Shane left for the military for what would turn out to be 4 years of her life. She quickly finished up her training, finally being taken into the ranks of the army after she graduated boot camp. Unfortunately her relationship with her girlfriend quickly dissolved as she wound up receiving a call from her telling Shane that it was over, that she couldn't deal with a long distance relationship nor would she be responsible if the military found out Shane was gay and kicked her out.

As sad as she was over it, Shane picked up the pieces and put all her attention into the army, learning everything she could about the field she was in from planning various strategies to learning how to operate and kill with firearms and swords. During her time in the military she wound up befriending and even joining a group of lycans just like her. They helped her figure out all the different things she could do now, what strengths she had, and weaknesses. Soon, she wound up moving up in ranks with them, eventually becoming the Alpha female of the group.

She spent the next four years traveling the world with them, seeing beautiful countries and places she never thought she'd see while seeing some things she wished she'd never seen. After her two years were up she got out of the army and decided that her life needed to be more stable, figuring she needed to have a permanent residence. She went to a local relater, asking for advice on the best places to live, especially by water as she loved swimming and wound up heading to city of Miami for a new adventure,

Writing Sample: a sample post from this characters point of view.
And the rest:

Shane took a flying leap, jumping up and grabbing the basketball hoop for the fifth time before letting go and landing gracefully on the ground. She walked back out of the room and sat down on one of the cardio machines, working her leg muscles. One of the things she enjoyed doing was working out and making sure she stayed in shape.

As she used the machine she couldn't help her eyes drifting to one of the personal trainers, laughing and smiling at another girl across the room. Shane's eyes drifted over her body, very curvy yet toned due to a lot of time at the gym. She smirked and stopped using the machine, standing up and stretching momentarily before heading over to where the woman was standing.

The woman stopped her conversation mid sentence and turned to Shane, flashing her the same smile she'd flashed her other customer, "Can I help you?"

Shane grinned, "Yeah, I'd like a personal training session with you if that's possible."

The woman smiled and nodded her head, "Right this way ma'am, we'll get you started on the paperwork first."

Shane followed her, "Sounds great to me."

Anything else? No.

Did you read the rules? ADMIN EDIT

This app looks great, I only have two concerns with it.

With an alpha level character, to kind of balance things out, I more weaknesses are needed to flesh out a character. A powerful character with only the standard silver for a weakness is just a bit much. You can either add a sufficient amount of weaknesses to balance her out, or simply downgrade her to a dominant, not an alpha.

Also, a 2 year term of service in the military just doesn't happen. The US Armed Forces require a minimum of a 4 year term.

Make the changes and post here to let me know when they are done, and I'll be happy to approve you.
