NAME: Kila
NICKNAMES: Ki, but don't try calling her that, lest you want an ear ripped off.
DESIRED RANK: Doesn't care, just as long as she gets respected.
AGE: 2 years 2 months
LOOKS: Well, first of all, Kila is blind. This explains many things about her looks as well as her personality. Instead of showing her eyes and announcing to the world "Hey look, she's blind!", she instead wears a dirty white bandana around her head in order to hide her eyes and their giveaways to her handicap. It's not one that goes around to the back of her head... no, it's a sort of "sleeve" like fabric that goes around her head from jaw to top of her head. It's a slip-on sort of thing. To help keep it on, she has holes cut into the top of it in order to allow her hears to move freely and have no hinderance in her abnormal hearing skills.
Her paws, grown to fit her condition as well as her way of life, are abnormally large and seem as if they shouldn't fit to her body. It would almost seem as if they made her clumsy, though that is far from what they do. They instead act to help her with her "seeing" as she inwardly calls it.
Her tail is long by any wolf standards and also seems to be misleading about her appearance. Why, do you ask, is it so long? Well, to help her balance while she moves, of course. Yes, all of her odd appearances have some sort of use to them. Her nose is much longer than that of a normal wolves, and a lot more slender as well. It just adds to the strange looks that she has and almost makes others wonder if she is even a wolf, or something else entirely. Yes, she is a wolf and yes she has deformities, but not every wolf is perfect right?
Oh, and don't forget her rather large ears... yet another adaptation to her blindness. Yes, she is quite the odd looking wolf, and to top it all off, her body is rather slender and smooth, no matter how much she eats or may try to change it. She has the build of one who might be speedy and agile and she almost looks as if she is malnutrition, but that is far from the case. This femora can really pack the food away!
Her fur color is a deep forest green color. Up to the joints of her legs is an ash brown color. It's an abrupt stop with no transition, no fading section whatsoever. The green fur, does however, overlap the brown fur ever so slightly. Around her neck is the same ash-brown color, as if in a necklace style, though it is only her fur. Her ears are tipped with ash-brown and her tail looks as if it has brown tips to it... much like you would see on a punk-ish sort of look. Her fur has a spikier look to it and it is especially spiky around her neck and shoulders. She has tufts of brown-tipped hair that hangs down onto her nose from underneath her bandana.
ELEMENT:
- Hypersensitivity to her surroundings - Since she is blind, she still sees in other ways. She senses vibrations in the Earth and can tell where other creatures are, from larger creatures such as bears and whatnot, to smaller creatures like ants. She can see the shape and form of creatures and the terrain around her because of this fact.
- Earth (Bought for $100) - She can shift the earth around her. She can manipulate anything relating to earth or things that originated from the earth, such as rocks, metal, trees and the like.
PERSONALITY: Well, let me tell you, she isn't one to be underestimated, that's for sure! She believes strongly in the philosophy "You have to give respect to get it" and she will stick to this, no matter who the wolf she may meet is. They could be an Alpha and if they don't treat her with the respect that she deserves... or at least thinks she deserves... she'll return the same amount of respect to them.
She can be QUITE stubborn, almost to the point of bratty, though she isn't quite to that point.. yet... but you never know what might happen! She hates to be judged and underestimated, though any wolf with any sort of brain about them would instantly react that way because she is blind. She will willingly put anyone in their place that might make such a judgement.. no matter who they are. She's often been asked if she has a suicide wish, though she merely responds "You make it sound so easy!" and she would merely laugh to herself, though those around her could easily hear her laughter.
She makes jokes and wise cracks about others at every chance she can and she can be quite quick-witted in many different sorts of situations. She's one of those get out there and so something sort of wolves and she has a certain joy for breaking the rules.
Don't get me wrong, she does respect the rules of heirarchy, but she doesn't have to like them, right? She will treat those higher up in ranks than her with respect, but in return, she demands the same respect... AKA "Don't treat me like I'm blind. Treat me like you would any other wolf."
If a wolf respects her as an individual, then she will respect them fully. That's all it takes... respect.
EYES: Not many people know anymore... and she's even begun to forget her natural eye color. She vaguely remembers a bright amber, but that could have easily been another wolves eyes, though also could have been her own. Considering she doesn't take her head wrap off for anything, not many others can see what her eyes look like now after her blindness has taken it's full effect.
WINGS: Alas, she has no wings.
HISTORY: Well, her's isn't the most interesting. She was born outside the lands of Aelyn. She had a loving family and even had sight! It's something she misses greatly, though she doesn't often dwell on it.
Soon after she was old enough to walk and had just begun to finish nursing.. you know that transition stage... her family was kidnapped and she was sent off to a testing center for wolves. They poked and prodded her, injected her and cut her. What they were trying to do, she wasn't sure. All she knew was that she went through a lot of pain.
She had been living this way for several months, though shortly after being brought to this terrible testing facility, she quickly realized her vision wasn't as crisp as it had been once. Things started to get fuzzier and blurrier up to the point where things began to turn black. She woke one day with no sight at all, though she realized she could still see. Granted, it wasn't in the way she had thought she could... it was still seeing to an extent.
It took her months to get used to this new ability, something she was both new to and unsure of. She had never wanted to be blind... it was never even in her plans, though it had happened and all she could do was deal with it.
She bided her time, waiting for her testers to let their guard down... and that's how she escaped. She wasn't sure where she was, for she had never been outside her homelands until that fateful day. She ran until she reached an ocean, unsure of where it would lead and where she was going. Something was pulling her that direction, though she wasn't sure what. She only decided to follow it and hope for the best.
She had swam for several miles, finding small islands along the way to rest on and hunting fish to eat. She had been growing, though due to her testing and her lack of vision, her body grew differently than other wolves. She found that her appendages had much bigger looks to them, but she quickly learned how to use those to her advantage, after much tripping and falling at first.
She finally came to the homelands of Aelyn and smiled to herself. Unsure of what to do next, she practiced her abilities more and soon discovered she was able to move the earth. This was a fun new toy for her and she worked hard to master it. Granted, there's always room for improvement, but she was sure that no others could match her skills like she had, that is, if they shared the same earth moving ability. They weren't blind like she was... they didn't have the "technique" that she used. This gave her an advantage and she was sure to use it as such.
She has merely been wandering, wondering where her family is and where her place in the world would be, though she hasn't quite found one yet. She only hopes to not spend an entirety alone... and to maybe find a friend to spend time with and to share experiences with. Someone who accepts her for who she is and doesn't judge her for her exterior.
FAMILY DESCRIPTION: Mother - Kila's mother was a deep brown color, matching the forest she lived in almost perfectly. It held the texture of the bark of the trees in appearance though the actual texture to touch was that of your normal wolf. Her eyes were a deep green color, reflecting the light of the trees and the canopy. She was a smaller build, maybe a few inches smaller than your normal wolf, but had the feminine features that any male would desire.
Father - Kila's father was a mostly brown wolf, though he had patches of green fur highlighting different parts of him. His eyes were a dark brown color. His build was that of a strong fighter, for he was a warrior and had no special power aside from his brute strength, able to outlast any other wolf that challenged him to a fight. He was muscular and held a strong stature that was revered by many other male wolves.
OTHER INFO: She is blind, but has her own way of "seeing".
MATE: None
