Looks:
Descant is a small, weak looking wolf, standing at just under three feet. She is very skinny, particularly in her face where some parts are slightly sunken in from lack of nutrition throughout her life. With her narrow face and wide eyes, she can look very puppy like. Her body is slim as well, but that’s more natural. Descant is clearly built more for running than for fighting, which suits her personality well. She has as few scars here and there but none as dramatic as the one on the right side of her face, stretching from an inch away from her nose to just below her eye. She tends to move her head towards the right when meeting strangers because she is ashamed of it. Her fur is pale blue, with silver and white flecks and a white chest. Descant’s fur is thick, but lays flat against her body most of the time. It has an appealing shine to it. Her tail is a little bit longer than usual, which can be an annoyance, especially when she was younger and would trip on it. The tip of her tail is white. The inside of her pointed ears are white as well with little flecks of silver. She usually walks gracefully with her slim legs, except when nervous or uncomfortable, and then she stumbles and becomes very clumsy. Her paws are small with white toes and silver nails. Her nose is very pale pink, almost white and her lips are the same color.
Power:
Glowing: Descant has the ability to light up her pelt and eyes to a bright glow. She can use this to alert her pack to danger or prey from a distance. She also uses it to entertain pups. When her fur is glowing, it warms as well. Her glow isn’t blinding, just enough to be seen from a distance. She can light up her whole body or just her eyes. The color of the glow is the same as her pelt, light blue, only much brighter. Her eyes glow bright purple and light up brighter than her pelt, giving a slightly eerie appearance. The intensity and brightness of the glow depends on how much energy Descant puts into her power. She inherited this from her missing mother, but so she was never taught how to use it properly. She doesn’t use her power carelessly, in order not to attract unwanted attention to herself. Descant doesn’t have much experience with using it because growing up she was discouraged from using it. Her half sisters were powerless, so using her power increased their jealousy and hostility towards her. For most of the first two years of her life she practiced her power in secret.
Eyes:
Deep purple eyes that are usually lost in thought or cast downward. They are a little larger and wider than normal, giving her a childish, helpless expression.
Wings:
None
Personality:
Descant can be socially awkward and painfully shy. She is more likely to submit or run when faced with a fight. She’ll avoid a conflict at all costs. Years of harsh treatment have taught her to take almost any order, no matter how ridiculous. She is gullible and easily taken advantage of. Show her even the smallest amount of acceptance or compassion, and she’ll be loyal to you seemingly forever. She was out casted in her former pack, giving her inexperience with interactions with other wolves. She has a heightened sense of respect, and fear, for Alphas and other higher ranks. Descant doesn’t know the traditional sense of family, so she treats her friends (and anyone to show any kindness to her for that matter) as her family, whom she would do anything for. At even the smallest sign of aggression or dominance, Descant either panics or submits, because of her negative experiences. She is very empathetic and compassionate to other wolves, especially those with stories like hers. Descant is secretive about her past and isn’t comfortable with talking about it. She loves taking care of pups and the sick and is a loving caretaker. She doesn’t like being alone, but won’t force her company on others.
History:
Descant was born to the Alpha and subordinate female of a close-knit pack. Her mother was very under weight, a result of the Alphess denying a share of the packs kills out of jealously. Because of this, Descant was born very small and her brother, her only sibling, died a few hours after birth. Akela stayed with the pack until Descant was weaned, then when the Alpha wasn’t present, Akela was run out of the pack by the Alphess. Descant has no memory of her mother. Descant loved her father dearly growing up and learned much of her personality from him. Her father loved her back and prevented his mate from killing her or expelling her when she was a pup. But her father was too passive to prevent the Alphess from tormenting Descant every chance she got. Descant would be denied the prey she had helped take down until even the lowest ranking wolves had finished. She was bit and intimidated at every opportunity. If she stood up for herself she was punished even worse, so she learned at an early again to keep her opinions to herself. When her half-siblings were born, they continued the cycle of abuse, especially her half sisters, who were jealous of their father’s love for her. They played tricks on her, usually ones that got her in trouble with the Alphess. Descant endured the physical and mental abuse for two years in silence. In her second year of life a harsh winter hit the land where her pack lived. Members of her pack began to die from starvation. One day, while with a hunting party, Descant came across a lone male elk, a rarity in such times. She alerted her immediately and after a short chase the weak elk fell. Normally the hero who had found the elk would have been the first to eat in the pack after the Alphas, but Descant was forced to stand back as one of her half sisters got the honor. Descant finally snapped from all the pain and shoved her sister out of the way in order to take her rightful place. This infuriated the Alphess, who bit Descant in the face so hard it left a permanent scar. She, along with Descant’s half sisters, ran her out of the pack. Her father was too old and too weak to stop them. Descant was left to fend for herself.

None
Parent Description:
Mother: Descant’s mother was a wolf by the name of Akela. She was a free spirit who left her birth pack at an early age to forge a life of her own. She found this life with a close knit pack lead by a handsome strong wolf. Never resisting a challenge, Akela immediately went after the Alpha despite him already having a mate. Akela was strong and stubborn, and eventually got her way. But when the Alphess found out Akela was having her mate’s pups, she planned to run Akela out of the pack. Akela never saw her lone surviving pup after it was weaned.
Father: Arthur, Descant’s father, grew up in the shadows of his father (who was the Alpha of his pack) and older brother. He had a passive nature from learning to follow their orders. But when a fierce winter claimed them both, he found himself in charge of his pack. The strongest female in the pack easily talked her way into becoming his Alphess and he became second in command to her. When Akela came to the pack, he had another lapse in will power which resulted in birth of his daughter Descant and the explosion of Akela. After Akela was gone, Arthur did his best to protect Descant from his mates harsh treatment but was ultimately to weak in nature and body to prevent her from being run out as well.
