There is very little that can cause her loyalty to waver and although it may take her time to trust others, once she does, she will always be there for them. [/sub] [sub][b][color=white]β˜† Lightning quick β˜†[/color][/b] [color=lavenderblush]In both human and wolf forms, Dasha is incredibly fast and it is one of her favourite things in the world to run. There are not many people who can keep up with her and that makes her feel safe, even if this skill only comes from a lifetime of fleeing.[/color][/sub] [sub][b][color=white]β˜† Wild child β˜†[/color][/b] [color=lavenderblush]Dashas survival skills are sharply honed and are even in some ways more instinctive to her than more normal experiences such as sleeping in a bed or cleaning oneself in a bathtub. She knows where to find food (and what things are inedible), how to build shelters, how to craft rudimentary weapons, and most importantly, how to keep out of sight of humans. She does not mind being caught out in adverse weather conditions and in fact, often relishes being in the rain or snow.[/color][/sub] [sub][img]https://i.imgur.com/fjXHmCT.png[/img][/sub] [sub][b][color=white]β˜† To transform or not to transform β˜†[/color][/b] [color=lavenderblush]Past experiences have made Dasha extremely nervous about transforming into her wolf form, so much so that she will go to any lengths to avoid it. It is such nerves that makes it difficult for her to transform even if she wants to and can lead to highly embarrassing situations. She is not particularly fond of the full moon for this same reason.[/color][/sub] [sub][b][color=white]β˜† Nightmares β˜†[/color][/b] [color=lavenderblush] For as long as she can remember, Dasha has suffered with terrifying nightmares. She knows they have no meaning to them, or assumes so, but they plague her sleeping hours and often even slip into her waking thoughts. On occasion she has even sleptwalked during her nightmares, which doesn't typically end well, particularly when one is living in a dormitory room.[/color][/sub] [sub][b][color=white]β˜† Diffident β˜†[/color][/b] [color=lavenderblush] The majority of her childhood was spent with her clan and her clan alone. Any interaction she had with others was usually in the form of them trying to kill her. It is for this reason that Dasha is extremely cautious and shy around others. She doesn't particularly relish being in her own company but is extremely wary of putting herself out there, and will often end up wandering around alone rather than risk speaking to a stranger.[/color][/sub] [sub][b][color=lavenderblush]OUTLOOK / IDEALS / PERSPECTIVE [/color][/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=lavenderblush]β–”β–”β–”β–”β–”β–”β–”β–”β–”β–”β–”β–”β–”[/color][/sup][/sub] [sub]Of all the creatures in the world, it is humans that Darya fears the most. Even after a year of being in Scotland, she is still extremely wary around them and would prefer to avoid them altogether. She is unsure therefore how she feels about witches & wizards, having never come across any of their kind before attending Hawthorne Academy. The fact that they are the ones who have placed so many limitations on both werewolves and vampires alike, makes her wary of their motives, and she can see how they could easily use their magic against them. She finds vampires and sirens intriguing, with their beauty and charismatic ways. They are so very different from herself and although she knows werewolves are meant to bear a hatred towards vampires, her clan were far too preoccupied with trying to escape the cruel grip of humans to ever really instil such a dislike into her. Werewolves are her comfort zone. They are familiar and remind her of being with her pack. She would feel completely at ease with them if there were not the pressure and expectation to transform.

The humans always sought to hunt them and this only worsened with the advent of technology, each trap all the more lethal. As the modern day creeped upon the packs, they were driven north, into the frozen tundras, where food was scare and life in human form extremely difficult. The Volkova clan had been used to living on the fringes of society but they did not do so quietly. Aleksander, Dashas father, was a hotheaded wolf and only grew more bitter about how they were treated, many of his relatives having died as they were hunted & killed. He would strike back, seeking to kill those who sought to end his line, and for a time was successful. Yet, the more they killed, the more they drew attention to themselves. And eventually they were found. The clan had tended to stay near cities, where the people they sought lived, but they were forced to head north. The peninsula they found themselves on was barely habitable for humans and the family spent much of their time in their wolf forms. Dasha however, struggled. She had been able to in the past but now...now she found she could not. Her mother and father spent much time with her, trying to make her feel more comfortable in that form, but on the few occasions she did transform, it would be only a matter of minutes before she turned back. Left with little in the way of options, it was decided that Dasha could not stay in the Tundra. She would not be able to survive and going back South would mean risking death at the hands of the humans. So instead, the Volkovas found her passage to Scotland. They of course knew of Hawthorne Academy and so sent her there, with only a letter and a small amount of money. Dasha cried when she left her family but knew she had little choice, and at only a month shy of 17, did she arrive in Scotland. She could not join the academy for she was too young but the headmaster did allow her to live there, putting her to work on simple chores for the school to earn her keep. It was for the first time in her life that Dasha felt truly safe and she was able to watch the students from afar, slowly becoming accustomed to their ways. The humans still scared her of course but they did not seem so bad here, at least at a distance. A year later she became old enough to enter the academy and so she did. All she really wants at heart is to live a peaceful life, but she does wonder perhaps if she will need to go back to Russia, to learn a way to help save her family and prevent them from being hunted ever again...
