Quick description: A thin she-wolf with smoky fur and sultry golden eyes.

Physical description:

Colors: As her species insinuates, Rhia’s pelt is a pallet of rich dark and light grays. Her back is the darkest place on her, with a shadowy color and silvery flecks. It fades slightly as the color crawls up her neck, though there is a section down the length of her muzzle which is dark grey as well. Her ears are tipped with white, and there is a brazen splash of white across her chest fur. Her stomach is a lighter gray as well, though her legs get increasingly darker as they go down. Her paws are dark, though her toes are tipped with white. Her tail is a dark grey as well, with lighter colors around the outside, and white on the tip as well.

Body:

[/i] Rhia was clearly made for speed, with long legs and an aerodynamic build. She can easily outrun an enemy, but isn’t shy to turn around and fight for what she’s worth. Rhia may not look like a threat, but she has muscles on her thin frame. With her long, strong legs, she can propel herself at an enemy and rip them to shreds. However, she is usually peaceful and doesn’t like to attack people. ^^ She has a feminine shape, with thinner middle then males would, and a nice, long tail. Rhia is not exempt from her share of scars, though. Her left ear is split down the middle slightly from a fight long ago, and she also has a light scar on her right shoulder in the shape of a half-moon.

Eyes:[/i] Rhia has bright golden eyes, unusually thoughtful for a wolf of her age. They express her every emotion when she allows, and close off to the world when she needs. When happy and in love, her eyes take on a sultry, deep gold, and when angry or upset, they cloud over slightly. If she is speaking in front of her pack, her eyes will become firm, but loving, showing how she won’t let them down as a leader and friend. If Rhia is fighting, her amber eyes turn to ones of rage, especially if her enemy threatens those she loves.

Personality: Rhia, since she was a pup, has been full of spunk and a drive to prove herself. She was last born, but first to open her eyes, first to walk from her den, first to eat real meat. She had one older sibling – a brother – who beat her by far in strength and battle skills. They may have been stronger, but Rhia was easily more cunning and mischievous. In a tussle, she could easily defeat her brother only by using her mind.

As she grew, Rhia developed into a well-formed and ambitious wolf. She has a love of adventure and will never back down from a challenge, even if it’s one she cannot overcome. She would rather defend herself and her pack then sit back and watch other people do the work. Most times she’ll jump right alongside a pack-member and finish their task with them. She has a beguiling sort of charm that even she is not aware of at times. She’s easily frustrated at times, but her journey to Alpha has calmed down a lot of her old puppy-energy and wild spirit. She’ll never stop being her ambitious self, but Rhia has learned self-control and patience with others. She’s very understanding, but also very opinionated. Rhia is also willing to help those who need it, though she becomes bothered with incessant picking at her.

History:

“Those are my babies, Leaza! Please… I love them!” The she-wolf gazed up at her Alpha Male with tears in her golden eyes, her body shaking with controlled sobs. At her paws sat two week-old pups, one nearly black and the other an array of smoky grays.

“No.” The Alpha Male looked down at her with uncompassionate eyes, his ears turned back with disapproval at the state this female was in. “It is against our beliefs and pack rules. You should be glad I am keeping you with us instead of banishing you like the traitor you are.” He glared at her with blue, icy eyes, laced with hatred and an undistinguishable regret.

“Leaza, I beg of you, I can’t give them up… please. Please, I – “

“Enough!” The male’s voice immediately silenced the whimpering wolf, and he bounded towards her with teeth bared. “You’ve broken our traditions, and now you have to undo your sin.” He looked down at the puppies, keeping his eyes cold and unemotional. “Get rid of them—or I will.” With that the Alpha turned and strode away, his dark figure disappearing into the darkness. The she-wolf let out a loud sob before collapsing on the ground with her offspring.

-Two Years Later-

“Tell me again, Nana.” Young Rhia gazed up at her caretaker with loving eyes, again reminiscing about a mother that was forced to give up her secret pups by a brutal leader.

The older wolf rolled her yellow eyes. “You know the story, Rhia. Your mother gave you to me to take care of, and I brought you back to this pack.”

The Alpha of Open Forest had not been too pleased at the arrival of two foreign pups, but she had let them stay, seeing as it was one of their males that had bred the female in the first place. He had died soon after the pups had arrived after being shot by a hunter. Now, so long after, Rhia had established a place in Open Forest next to her brother, Roan. They were both rambunctious and wild, but they were family to the clan now, and that couldn’t be taken away.

-Another Two Years-

Rhia sat at the edge of the clearing, watching as her pack – her pack – lived and laughed and ate and played… She had just been promoted to Alpha after a tragic hunting accident. Yes, the loss of the Alpha, and of her brother, who had been kicked in the head by the deer they were after, was off-setting to her, and it made her horribly recluse for a while. But now, experiencing her rights as Alpha, feeling the responsibility and power, the respect… how had she never known of this beautiful thing?

She sighed lightly, her ears pricking forward as a few pups tumbled over each other, growling. Cute. Her golden eyes focused on each member, doing a head-count, making sure everyone was in order, making sure her pack would survive another day, another moon…

“Rhia!”

The Alpha Female’s head snapped up to the side as her beta came racing towards her. The male ducked his head lightly in respect for speaking. “Marci’s having her pups and she wants you there.” The male seemed excited, out of breath, and eager. They were his pups, after all.

Rhia nodded her head, keeping calm. “Thank you, I’ll be there in a moment.” The male turned to race back. Rhia watched him go, then yelled after him, “Diblo!” He halted in mid-step and skidded around to face her. A smile broke across her muzzle. “Congratulations.” He grinned at her before turning back towards the pup dens once more.

Rhia let her eyes scan over her pack once more, watching each wolf, observing each move and conversation. This was her pack. Her love, her life… her world.

ooc: A bit long, and not too good of a History, but it will do. ^^[/size][/center]
