[sub][b][color=#E46018]STRENGTHS[/color][/b][/sub]
[sub]It goes without saying, because it is clear if one simply looks at her, but Ochanya is [i]strong[/i]. Like, physically strong. Like even in her human form she looks like she could deadlift a car and then run a mile while fireman carrying three sacks of potatoes or something equally as heavy. She is a physical specimen and her body reflects that, needless to say that is enhanced when she goes wolf mode. If all she had going for her was her physicality it would be impressive, but she's more than just her muscles and attitude. 

Ochanya fancies herself as a natural leader and it's hard to argue with her - and not just because those who argue with her tend to get the death glare at best and a threat of injury at worst. She knows how to inspire loyalty in those worth taking in and fear in those who would stand against her. To those who are in her care, she will be like a mother lioness looking out for her cubs, to those who stand against her she will be as an unrelenting tornado, destroying everything in her path until it is unrecognizable. It is her willingness to put herself in the line of fire when those she cares for that gives her a little bit of softness to her hardened edge; sure she carries and acts like a badass but she cares deeply for those in her pack and they, in turn, trust that she will always have their back in anything, from help with homework or advice on how to ask someone out, or the obvious of being the first one to fight on their behalf. Ochanya is the alpha in her mind and in her actions even if not in practice. Yet. 

Her name means Queen, after all. 

While she isn't as long lived as some certain blood sucking bastards, Ochanya is nonetheless fairly worldly given her age. It stems from her upbringing among people who shared cultures from different parts of the world. She often uses what she has learned from those old cultural exchanges when doling out advice - though the ironic thing is she rarely seems able (or wanting) to take the advice she is so ready to give others.

[sub][b][color=#E46018]WEAKNESSES[/color][/b][/sub]
[sub]Ochanya is quick to act which can be a benefit and a detriment depending on what it is. Her hatred of vampires is well known and she is not shy about letting them know and if she even hears word that one of them was talking bad about her or her pack, she will march over and do something about it. Some have said this makes her hot headed and they might be right, but she never attacks first - other than when she attacks without knowing the whole picture, which makes her more rash than anything else. 

Ochanya's primary motivation is to become the alpha of every werewolf on campus and that has some people accusing her of only caring in the political sense, as in saying only what needs to be said in order to curry favor and win over support. Like most things, Ochanya is not shy about where she stands and what her goals are and in her mind if you're a werewolf and not on her side then when the time comes you will either be on her side by force or be forced to find a different pack. This can make it difficult for her fellow wolves to see her as the friendly, motherly figure she wants them to think of her as and in her single focused mind she doesn't seem to see the bigger picture of what this means for her socially. 

Her cockiness borders on arrogance and she can't resist a challenge. Everything with Ochanya is a challenge, even friendly competition has a tendency to become a bit unfriendly when she's involved. Ochanya hates losing. Card games? Eating competitions? Athletic events? If she comes second, it's as if she came last place. One time she was invited to play a game with some witches and wizards and when she was out of money twenty minutes later she smashed the table and threw the board onto the roof of the school. It's still up there. Ochanya expects the best from herself which is why she pushes herself to be a winner at all things. To her credit, she can back up a lot of what she boasts and wins a lot of the time, it's just those times where she doesn't that people have to beware her wrath.

[sub]If Ochanya played darts her dartboard would be plastered in yearbook photos of the vampires that make up Hawthorne's student body. No one seems to care that vampires get preferential treatment: they're the largest group, some of them damn near live there for like thirty fucking years, and they have 'special' curriculum. They are the reason why Hawthorne hasn't seen the goddamn sun in forever. Werewolves have one professor on campus. One. Special fucking treatment. And she's supposed to just accept it just because they have numbers? Fuck that. 

Vampires think they're above everyone else. The pale blood sucking freaks.

When it comes to her fellow werewolves, Ochanya is very simple. If you're with her, then you're with her. If you're not, then you'd better decide quickly if you want to be her enemy or not. Being with her comes with a bevy of benefits. Being against her comes with potential bodily harm. It's a simple choice. 

Ochanya doesn't mind the witches and wizards so long as they don't give her a reason to. She likes them fine enough and knows they have their own things going on. She feels like the witches and wizards are more similar to the werewolves than the vampires but that might be because she's trying to play nice with the spell users because having them on her side would be a great numbers addition when opposing the goddamned blood suckers. Still, even without that, she is fine with them and even apologized to the ones whose game and table she broke. She made them a new table. She likes making things. With wood.[/sub]

Ochanya, whose name means Queen, was born in Nigeria, near Lagos, though she was never quite fond of the metropolitan side of the city. Ochanya's father fought in the Nigerian Civil War but he never liked to talk about it with Ochanya and she could tell from a young age that pressing him to do so was not a good idea, but it was his experience in the war that made it hard for Ochanya to love the man who was her father. Respect him, sure. But it was hard to love a man who raised his hand against his family. 

Family is important to Ochanya and it wasn't until she was taken in with the pack, after escaping a particularly painful night that left her mother in the hospital and her father 'sleeping off the drink' in jail for a night, that she started to truly understand the value of family. Ochanya was cursed with lycanthropy at age 7 and by the time she was 13 she thought of her pack as her real family, particularly the leader, Oba. Oba was a passive man who led the pack simply because of seniority and while Ochanya didn't respect him, she did love him as a father. 

It was with the pack that Ochanya learned about different cultures and tribes, because every other full moon there would be a gathering from different African and even European and Indian werewolves where they all came together and shared food and stories and experiences. Ochanya loved these and though she was never allowed to sit at the elder's meeting, she would always be first to sit and listen to some of the storytellers speak on history and tradition. 

As Ochanya reached her teenage years, she began to think less and less of Oba, whose pack was growing smaller and smaller because others were sensing weakness. Ochanya encouraged Oba to not take this lightly, and to strike back and make his pack strong. Stronger. Strongest. It came to a head after Ochanya, after boldly claiming that Oba, whose name means king, would be the alpha of Nigeria. This wasn't taken well by the biggest pack, who challenged Ochanya. Oba, covering for Ochanya's folly, stood up and accepted the terms: if Oba won, he would inherit the biggest pack, if he lost so too did he forefeit his pack, which was his life. Ochanya didn't realize at the time that that meant his life was literally on the line. 

Oba lost. It was not pretty. Ochanya watched as Oba died and Ochanya was not welcomed into the victor's pack because he had no room for "boastful, ignorant pups." Only he didn't call her a pup. He used a far harsher word. Ochanya was alone. Packless. Riddled with guilt. It was her fault Oba died. And she ran. She fled Nigeria. She wound up in India. In Asia. In Europe. She used the knowledge learned from the past meets to survive and barter. She was nomadic out of necessity, but she vowed that Oba's death would be the last time she let someone else fight her battles. The last time anyone died for her. 

Eventually, Ochanya found her way to Hawthorne, supported by a small group of wolves she lived with in Douro Valley, Portugal. It is at Hawthorne that Ochanya wishes to start making her own pack. To become the leader she believes herself to be. 

Her name means Queen for a reason.
