-About Your Character-
Name: Kisaragi (Means 'changing clothes month' in japanese, referring to 2nd month of their lunar calender; i.e. February, a time where seasons change.), may be called 'Kisa'
Age: 3 years
Gender: Female
Appearance: Slender and lithe, Kisa is able to move quickly and quietly. Naturally, this means she is neither tall nor small, but somewhere in between. If there is need, she is able to move in rapid explosions of speed. She is pale, her fur an off shade of white, and here is a thin scar running down her left flank, hidden beneath her pelt. Her eyes are nearly gold, accented by splotches of brown within the iris. The emotions she feels are kept in check and are rarely shown in her eyes. For a wolf, she is an adept fighter, relying on speed and her own sense. However, when it comes to brute force, Kisa is lacking and thus, is outclassed by wolves who are both strong and able to match her quickness, but her experience in battle usually gets her out of these situations or else allows her to formulate a strategy. Because she is female, her voice is naturally softer than a male's but even so, the sound is lower than most females, quieter and thoughtful. She is graceful and moves with simple self-assurance.
Personality: A quiet wolf with her own mind and opinions, Kisa is talented at masking these opinions. Mindful that some ideas are dangerous, she rarely voices her own personal thoughts. Down-to-earth and very straight forward, she has been accused being cold. In reality, Kisa is only stating simple facts and being honest, however brutal that honesty may be. Even though Kisa does not believe in buttering the facts, she sees no reason to be rude and is polite to wolves she respects. She is also thoughtful of others, good to those who are good to her, but reserved all the while, restraining her emotions and revealing very little. Born with a perceptive and analytical mind, she is a natural strategist and thinks on everything she does, always calculating possible outcomes in a situation. Despite her reservation, Kisa believes in the good of others and, while she hides it well, becomes easily attached to other wolves. Kisa is loyal to those who earn her trust, protective of the young, and above all else, puts others before herself. She is dedicated to the survival of the pack as a whole and sometimes forgets to care for her own happiness.
History: Kisaragi was born in the cold northern regions. Her first pack was a small group of loners who had banded together and she was the sole survivor of the alphas' first litter. The north was a harsh environment, prey was scarce, and cruelty was common among the packs that struggled to exist. As a pup, she witnessed the brutal deaths of eight siblings: three lost to attacks from large raptors, one to sickness, another three to hunger, and the last one, a sickly pup, to the freezing weather. Kisa lived through many territorial battles and to-the-death fights among members of her own pack. Learning that enemies could read emotions and spot weaknesses, she adapted to survive, quickly schooling her outward appearance into one of neutral emotion or uncaring indifference. After a territorial battle that ended with the loss of hunting range and thus ensured the destruction of the pack, the remaining members squabbled and argued over leadership, as Kisa's parents had passed away. After attempts to settle them failed, she delivered an ultimatum, cease their fighting or else be destroyed by either themselves, their enemies, or by her own self. The pack saw through her own threat, knowing that she would never harm the pack, and completely disregarded her warning about their enemies. Disgusted and seeing no reason to remain with the rapidly decaying pack, Kisa struck out on her own, traveling out of the frosty North and heading where the prey were many.
During her travels, she encountered other lone wolves. Many of those were not friendly and from those situations, Kisaragi expanded her knowledge in fighting. One of the lone wolves she met was a young male who had also left on his own. At the time, Kisa was too young to mate and so, the wolves were only companions, though their relationship was much closer than that. A freak storm and chance encounter with a lightning bolt ended the male's life and the budding relationship. From this loss, Kisa took with her additional scars. Her protectiveness of those truly important to her also came about from the tragedy, as she knows the fragility of life. Her journey has finally taken her to this area and she has found a meager living in the neutral lands. While she has witnessed much violence in her life, she seeks company and is searching for a suitable pack. She is investigating several packs and considering presenting herself.
