COMPLETE.
Name: Aila. Nicknames: Her elders used to call her 'Buttercup'. Desired Rank: Toko Forest Pack Age: 3 months.
Looks: Aila, though still very young, has a relatively lean and agile frame, with little excessive bulk upon her body. Her legs are not unreasonably long, but they are narrow and her paws are quite small and dainty, unlike the bulky, clumsy paws of most pups her age. From a distance, this tends to make her look taller than she really is, while she is truly no bigger than average. The pup's neck is short, her head closer to her body than would be considered average, while the rest of her tends to be long and willowy. In this respect, her face and muzzle are quite slender, while her ears are long and tall, pointed on the ends. Her shoulders and hips are finely sculpted, enabling her to move quickly rather than thrown around extra weight. Her tail, however, is currently short, stubby and rather bushy.
Aila's coat is something fine to behold - it is short and dense, downy soft to the touch, but as she ages her fur will grow lushious and full, and will protect easily against the elements. Each hair upon her body is two-toned; the most common colour marking each hair is a sandy brown hue. The tip of each hair darkens into a muddy brown or grey colour, giving her an artistically streaked appearance. The frame of her face and her mane are tinted with a dark, earthy green colour, inherited through her long line of Earthen heritage. Because of the different tones running through her pelt, she goes easily unseen amongst the foliage, and very closely resembles the earth in its most natural forms. Eyes: Her eyes are a light sky blue, and tend to stand out vibrantly against her earthy coat colours. Wings: N/A
Element: Earth - Because Aila is still so young, she has yet to discover the many wondrous abilities of her element. So far, the only thing she has control over is the restoration of plants to their natural state if they have been injured or destroyed in any way, and she can influence their growth in the same way the sun does.
Personality: For such a very young wolf, Aila is an exceptional learner with an almost unsatiable hunger for knowledge - she learns very quickly and precisely, rarely forgetting something once she has been taught. Though still on a childish level, she is good at solving problems, and thoroughly enjoys trying to figure things out when the evidence is laid in front of her. However, she is easily excited and quickly distracted, and though she has learned that a lot of things require a great deal of patience, it is still a thing that she needs to work on. Being a pup, she doesn't dwell on such things for too long, and tends to do things at her own pace, rather than telling herself she must or must not do something now or later.
Aila is a very sensitive being, and shows growing signs of a very big heart; she is very in-touch with all of her feelings, and has a very grown-up sense of sympathy and compassion, even for the tiniest of creatures, including plants. She has been known to shed tears for all the blades of grass trampled in a day, and has spent countless hours honing her minute abilities to heal and make them better again. Despite all of this, she keeps her own sorrows locked deep within her heart, and mourns instead the world's misery as though it were her own to bear. She is not easily read, nor drawn into openess, and in a way she prefers to keep to herself; in contrast, she often longs for someone to be with to ward off the lonely, hungry feelings. For a being her age, Aila is quite complex, and may only become moreso as she grows.
History: She was born in a deep and dark cave of stone to her mother Tuusie, a wolf of great healing prowess. She had a loving father, Ranik, who was a healer of the Earth, as well as having a knack for controlling the earth’s different properties. There was little time to be spent with either of them, however, for being a pack of healers and earthen wolves, they were extremely susceptible to fire. When her great-great-great-grandfather of many, many generations passed away, a band of young, rebellious Canis Pyros [fire elementals] was to be the end of a long-thriving clan, and the beginning of a life of hardship for young Aila. She remembers her paws burning upon the heat of her stone cave, but she remembers little else of how she was saved and how most everyone else died. As the days grow numerous between the present and the one day that changed everything, she slowly begins to forget her birth family, and knows only the surrounding environment and the hunger that is quickly consuming her. Mother: Aila's mother was a wolfess of great healing prowess, and was well-respected amongst the clan for her great abilities. Like Aila, Tuusie had brilliantly vibrant blue eyes, more inviting than the summer sky. Tuusie was small, her legs long and slender, her paws small and dainty, traits she has clearly passed on to her daughter. The maiden had a lush, silky coat of the purest ivory and golden, something that stood out as almost angelic in comparison with the average wolf. She was always lean, and never had any excessive bulk to carry around, something that can also be seen in Aila. Father: In contrast with Tuusie, Aila's mother, Ranik was a heavily built, masculine wolf. He had well-developed abilities in healing the earth and controlling its many properties, though he could never come close with the clan's elder, who was the best of the best whilst weilding the abilities of the Earth element. Ranik had a short neck and body, his stature quite compact and powerful, sturdy as the earth itself. His legs, though long, were pillars of muscle, giving him a stocky appearance despite his height. He was wide and deep in the chest, with burly shoulders and a heavy body. His pelt was short and coarse, the deepest colours of the earth (browns, greys and deep, foresty greens) covering him, something he has passed onto his daughter, while his eyes were a royal shade of emerald. Other Info: None.
Mate: None, she is too young for that. Pups: None, much too young for that.
Zodiac Sign: Taurus

I understand that this is not completed, but let me just jump in real quick to help you along::
The only thing I see that needs some tweaking is her power.
- Since she's just a pup now, the history is acceptable, but make sure you modify it to meet the requirements, 400 words. She must be modified after the third roleplay thread she is in (which should give you more material to work with)
- When characters are first created, they are allowed one power/ability to start out with. Any power after that can be purchased in the Powers/Ability Shop.
- Because your character can do so much with this power, it could be looked at as more than one.
- I would say that controls the growth/movement of plants --- controls the movement of sand and soil and controls, creates, eliminates earthquakes would all be considered different powers. So sorry to make you choose, but you must only pick one. Then after posting and earning those roleplay points, feel free to visit the shop to buy the others.
- Now I'll tell you my opinion on the 'earthquake' ability. It just seems too powerful. Feel free to choose this power, by all means. But the staff will most likely have a discussion about it. We would most likely come up with a vice - something like, she can create earthquakes, but must be in contact with two other packmates to share their energy or something.
Please, don't let me discourage you, I'm just throwing in my input so you can tweak your character and get her approved faster! : ]

Alright, well I guess that's understandable. I have an idea. I'll bring her in as a pup rather than a grown wolf (hopefully I can have someone as an adoptive parent/mentor to her) with only the earth ability to heal nature, ie. steps on flower, crushing it, and is able to bring it back to it's original state. As she grows (and I acquire the needed money) she can learn the more advanced abilities. And I would certainly love for her to be able to create earthquakes, and it would of course be very draining on her, perhaps make her pass out immediately after using the ability so she cannot use it consecutively.

Alright, sounds good to me. And feel free to post here, or PM any of the staff when your character profile form is done! : ]

Ok, great revamp! But since you've submitted this character, we've added a few other requirements to the form. (nothing big)
- Please include a 50 word physical description of Alia's mother and a 50 word physical description of Alia's father. (feel free to add any other family members if you'd like!) This is in the event that your wolf mates and has pups in the future. And even if you don't plan on mating, the staff would still like you to include this.
- You must choose a pack from the start. This is because we have way too many loner wolves runnin' around causin' trouble. Wolves naturally are not loners, they survive off of a structured community. Fee free to choose any pack, whichever catches your fancy. But currently, our Admin Kerrigan will not be accepting any more females into the Marsh Pack. Your choices include the Mountains, Waterfalls, or the Forest! If you just have no idea which pack to join, I suggest reading the bios of some wolves that are in the different packs, see which one's you'd like to roleplay with.
Let me know as soon as you modify Alia's bio! Can't wait to approve her!

Alright, I'll get on that asap!
Don't worry, I definitely intend to have her in a pack. I just don't know which one to choose! XD Are there any packs that tend to generally have nicer, friendlier wolves in them with higher morals, or are they all rather diverse? I've already got one wolf in the Mountains pack, so I guess it's a choice between Waterfall or Forest.
