Prized Bride (A New Beginning)

@Emma I'm gonna send you a link to our discord server and I can help you out with all of that.

(I helped design the lore in the first reboot)

Short answer: I've been told that those things will be specified in the OOC, and I am happy to answer any questions, as are our lovely GMs.

Sierra Tikaavik

Sierra Tikaavik

19 | Werewolf

Appearance

Sierra weighs approximately 130lbs and stands at a staggering 5'3. She's solidly built, with a well-muscled body, the result of an active lifestyle. Her features seem somewhat mixed in ethnicity, though clear features such as a wide nose, olive skin, brown, almond-shaped eyes and a short, round face hint at mixed Inuit heritage. Her hair is black and cropped messily short (like this).

Sierra sports scars like bumper stickers. The most noticeable is a set of three long, jagged lines which rip from below her right ear, over the corner of her jawbone and down to the crook of her collar bone. She also has a little, jagged wedge missing from her left ear, and lots of little nicks around her throat and ankles. These are more noticeable in her humanoid form, and covered by her thick fur when transformed (although the nicks around her ankles and cut in her ear are visible).

Upon her arrival at Luce Prima, Sierra is a little skinnier than normal. When transformed, her coat is shabby and in relatively poor condition.

Wolf Form

Personality

Sierra lived a secluded life with very little exposure to people other than her own kind. As such, some of the intricacies of human and other cultures are lost on her. She can carry on a conversation pretty normally, but when it comes to sensitive or impolite topics, Sierra doesn't really know when to stop. Honestly, it just doesn't occur to her that not everyone may want to hear about the subtle art of breaking a rabbit's neck in graphic detail.

Having lived a very structured life, Sierra always subconsciously searches for her "place" in new relationships. She is very apprehensive of strangers, having been taught not to trust them. While she wants to become more self-sufficient, Sierra is generally more comfortable when someone else is calling the shots. Her life until now had very clear roles, and as such Sierra is very sensitive to authority, and very unlikely to challenge it.

This structure continues on an emotional level. Sierra has a very thick skin and instead of getting angry, she is far more likely to take her lumps and laugh it off with eyes downcast. She'll fight if cornered, but flight is normally her preferred option. To her, "normal" is being the butt of every joke and the outlet of frustration, and as such has trouble asserting herself. However, under the submissive exterior one can see a wild spirit with no mean bone in her body.

History

Sierra was, in fact, raised by wolves. Perhaps even more literally than others of her kind. While many other werewolves live among humans and hide themselves, or try to coexist, Sierra was raised exclusively around other werewolves in a remote village in the expansive forests of northern British Columbia. Her pack consisted of her immediate family (herself and her father) and the families of her uncle and aunt, who each had several children, of which Sierra was the youngest. The parents loathed humans, drawing on stories told to them by their elders of how the humans forced the Children of Dusk into exile. As such, the children never saw the world beyond the many hectares of forest they called theirs, though the adults sparingly (and grudgingly) traded with humans of the nearest towns, selling furs to buy what they couldn't provide for themselves.

Sierra's family pack was very close, however that didn't mean things were all fun all the time. No, her father, aunt and uncle (leaders with their own inner hierarchy) ran a tight ship, with Sierra's father at the helm. Insolence and disobedience was met with swift and painful correction. They didn't arrange themselves into ranks (aside from her father's traditional title of Alpha) but rather, a pecking order formed as the children grew older and stronger - a pecking order with Sierra decidedly at the bottom. Sierra became a lightning rod for the frustrations of her larger, stronger cousins, frequently finding herself at the sharp end of a snap or last in line to eat.

When she was younger, and just gaining her ability to transform, the pecking order bothered her. However, as she grew, she came to realize that her role in the pack was essential; without her, they would turn on each other. Perhaps, she concluded, it was her role in life to absorb the tension and keep the peace.

However, werewolves are not the same as wolves. They still have human wants and needs, no matter how much they deny it. So it would come as no surprise to an outsider that Sierra's position in her family wore on her nonetheless. On the surface, she was content with the strict life she led, with any important decisions made for her. Once she grew out of the obligatory rebellious phase (one she grew out of very quickly) she never even thought to question the authority of her father, uncle or aunt. She even obeyed her cousins, knowing it was best to get along. She really felt content with that. However, deep down, the suppressed human side of her was wilting. Thoughts began to worm her way into her mind: that she belonged at the bottom of the heap because the others were better than her, that she was too stupid to call the shots, too weak to challenge anyone. That this was her place because she wasn't enough to be any more. She thought these feelings were normal and even accepted them, but something continued to knaw at her.

It was a few years before she realized her unhappiness. She couldn't tell what it was; she thought she was happy where she was, that she belonged here. With her family, away from humans. The humans she'd been taught to hate. But she had never felt the hate burn inside her like it did in her father; to her, humans were little more than a folk tale. So when a mysterious letter somehow, impossibly, found its way to her home, she was intrigued. She hid the letter from her father (for she knew he would burn it) and read the thing over at least a hundred times. For weeks she deliberated, until finally her newfound longing to see the world beyond the trees overcame her fear of leaving. Turning away from her pack felt deeply wrong, and many times on her journey she almost turned back. If not for fear of getting caught, she probably would have.

Other
Sierra has a basic level of reading comprehension, but no formal education.

The City Of Luce Prima (Supernatural creature RP)

I'm thinking about a werewolf from a toxic family pack who sneaks off to Luce Prima to learn about the world beyond the forest. Would probably result in deep-seated resentment for humans and other races (ingrained from her childhood) mixed with a growing desire to learn.

Prized Bride (A New Beginning)

Still accepting Gem characters? :)

@Emma

Yeah! Come on in!

(Hey GMs if you get tired of me acting like one of you feel free to kick me in the head or something)

ALSO: if anyone needs the Discord server link, PM me! I don’t want to link it here so we don’t get randos all up in the chat.

The City Of Luce Prima (Supernatural creature RP)

So aside from starving themselves, how do vampires feed without turning into serial killers? I mean, I can't imagine they'd be welcome into this new city if they were gonna prey on other citizens.

Bio

Bio:
Lienna was born to a poor single mother outside a Gem village in the far North, where the land never thawed and the sea, a blanket of ice. Though they were Water gems, just like almost everyone in the village, they were outcasts; the harshly logical townspeople thought Lienna's mother a fool for not drowning her child when she showed signs of beauty. They believed that beautiful daughters brought the Drakken upon the village, thus more likely to Reap from them again, and believed that killing a beautiful infant was more humane a fate than the possibility of being Reaped. In hindsight, Lienna believes that they may have been right.

From the get-go Lienna was taught to be self-reliant, not out of necessity, but out of her mother’s need to have a child who could fare well on her own. Looking back, Lienna figures that her mother saw the Reaping coming, and predicted that she may be chosen. She loved her daughter with all her might, however, and did her best to teach her how to be strong. “A strong woman makes choices to improve her life and the lives of others, no matter what those choices may be,” she’d always said, “A strong woman will never give up, not even when all hope is lost and everything is dark and broken.”

The village in which they lived was very religious, and Lienna and her mother were no different. They held strong faith with Naia, the goddess of Water, patron of Water Gems. Her mother taught her many things about her goddess and her faith, but perhaps the most resounding of her mother's lessons was this:

"Water always finds a way."

This became a mantra for Lienna as she faced life’s natural challenges, but never did she truly understand what those words meant until the Reaping.
On the day she was taken, Lienna shared tearful goodbyes with her mother, and while she loathed the idea of becoming a bride to a monster, her mother convinced her to go willingly. Lienna obeyed, knowing that it would be easier on everyone if she cooperated. However, her mother did leave her one remnant of home: into Lienna’s hands she thrust a tiny ivory statue of an owl with shining amethyst eyes.

Lienna identifies with water in every sense. She has always been calm and as wise as a young lady can be without age to help her, stoic but gentle with a harsh, yet tolerant temper. She has always taken life's challenges in stride, with the phrase in her mind, "Water always finds a way."

Other:
Lienna has some trouble with reading and numbers, as she never had the opportunity to go to school or access many books. Her preferred use of her elemental magic is freezing water into ice.

Adult Content Preference:
I'm open to taking it to PMs if ya really want to. Otherwise, fading to black is fine too. If you're curious, just ask me.

She's back bitch! Almost unchanged! XD Let me know if I missed something crucial, I think I read through the whole first post but there's a lot of hiders up in there XD

IMPORTANT: I might change her last name and I also might decide to have her already married (I've played the Reaping a lot, lol). Decision pending!!
