Autumn Leaf on the Wind

Autumn by Another Name
Name :: Zynex
Alias :: The Autumn Fae
Age :: 4 years | 5 years come winter
Gender :: Female
Element :: Fire | Sub-Element :: Shadow
Pack :: Tytanus
Rank :: Alpha

Painted by the Fall
If Zynex were to be a season, she would resemble the autumn. Her rich, rust colored fur shines most prominently in the evening light, reflecting flecks of gold and deep red along her back. And just as the Autumn proceeds into winter, her belly is blanketed by a light layer of snow white, spreading between her legs and ending at her hide paws. Her eyes are an enchanting silver-grey, rivaling the lustrous allure of the full moon against a clear night. Her ears are striped black matching only the onyx band around her tail and the black speck on the base of her nose.

She stands at about average height for a wolf, more leg than body making her an ideal runner, but is more prone to trouble after long distances. Her paws are larger than norm, not exactly an attractive trait, but gives her an advantage in a fight. Concerning body type, her form lacks the appropriate muscle strength needed to take down large kills or give her the extra edge needed in combat. Because of this her body is thinner regardless of the amount of food she eats. This flaw to her body structure is covered by her heavy coat.

Zynex aquired a trinket from her domain. A simple onyx band that she wears around her foreleg, not for beauty, but perhaps to assert power. The band itself is heavy and thick but remained latched to her foreleg throughout all movement.

Solitary Leaf

Family was not essential to Zynex's life. As a whelp, she sought life outside of the pack, away from the fawning care of her mother and aggressive play of her male siblings. They showed immense promise as pups, bringing attention more so to them than her. But she never let it get to her. While they were looked over constantly, she was free to learn on her own and do as she pleased.

It was difficult to escape the smothering hold of her mother, but not impossible. She rarely slept during the night, and took the time to explore the territory without worry of upsetting anyone from going too far unescorted. She knew eventually she would be caught and scolded, but if it meant she was able to teach herself the sights and scents of the world, she would gladly accept the punishment. As time passed, her mother learned of her nightly excursions, and though it was difficult, she turned a blind eye, realizing that sooner or later she would have let her pup venture on her own and gain her own footing. It was not long before Zynex's brothers did the same, sometimes running off for days at a time when they felt the desire and strength take hold. Again attention was diverted to her brothers on how proud the pack was they were taking the initiative to learn the land, even though it was she who started off first. And jealously began to fester.

Before her second year, she made a decision with her mother's and the Alpha's permission to leave the pack. She was assured it wasn't a permanent situation, and that she was always welcomed, but it was time to align herself with another, to gain an understanding of what it meant to depend and be relied upon by others for the benefit of a pack. Of course, that was the reason she gave them.

In truth, she wanted to experience true freedom and felt it could only be attained through the struggle of survival... And survive she did. Lacking the necessary training needed to take down large prey, she was subjected to small fodder, anything to quell her hunger pains until she taught herself what it meant to hunt. Time and time again she failed to attain the suculent flesh of finer meats, and time and time again she was injured by her ever fleeting prey. There were nights she went without fodd due to her injuries, and without someone to nuture and care for her, she often wondered if "today would be the last day I would be alive." But, each time, she prevailed over death, overcoming her pains and continued her self training. And finally, when her maw wrapped around the throat of a deer and she tasted the sweet crimson nectar, she was fulfilled. It was the greatest meal, and she savored each mouthful. She was two years old.

Eventually she grew into the swing of killing only when needed, bringing down deer after days of tracking and saving the meal for a later time. But this routine grew tiresome...especially when she took down greater prey and had too much left over for herself. Often the meat would turn foul, a fine feast for the scavengers...but while watching them devour her previous days' kill she could shake the feeling there was something missing....

Enveloped by Shadow
A leader of the Tytanus, it was a full time effort to maintain the struture and comfort of her pack. Yet she did not manage this feat alone. Always by her side was her Beta, Razoniel, her most trusted companion and friend. As long as she had known him there were feelings deeper than of a friend brewing within her, yet for the sake of appearance she kept them silent.

After trial and error to make her intentions know, eventually she gave up, believing the brute had no interest in her as anything other than his Alpha and Commander. But time proved this was not the case, and after confessing their feelings, they grew to love each other and the Beta succeeded the rank of Alpha as her mate, but only in name.

Disposition

Zynex, in a word, is defensive. While the world around her is in disarray, she takes very little lightly, whether it be a comment about herself or of something in passing. As a female, she takes her appearance into high consideration, not in vanity but as a way to convey respect for herself and thereby implies she does not take insult in any form. Rather than let any comment slide, she confronts it head on, believing that understanding the insinuation is better than leaving it to fester through speculation.

She is not cold-hearted, or cruel by any means, but she knows how to assert her authority at a moments call and does so without bias. If an action demands discipline, she gives it but never uses her power for personal gain, only for the benefit of the pack. On a softer note, she holds a deep soft spot for pups regardless of the rank of their parents. She treats all pups as her own, though she has none to speak of.

When she is not needed as an authoritative figure, she is as playful as any pup, even more so with males than females, which gives rise to distress among other females. Not that it bothers her in the least...

As a loner for the first few years of her life, she has developed a skepticism toward most wolves, except for pups which will always hold a special place in her heart. Never knowing the true mother-daughter relationship because of her mother's bias to her brothers, she is loving to all pups, and wishes to give them the same love she desired. But with unknown wolves, she is sly, testing their merit as well as their boundaries through physical displays, commonly known as playing. Her play is not used for enjoyment, but is a test to see whether the wolf is worth prolonged exposure. This is not because of cruelty, but out of fear that being around another for too long will warrant unnecessary attachment.

Well, you probably expected me to poof in with my shadow wolfeh. xD

Razoniel has this strict beta-alpha relationship with Zynex now, so he's being all business-y on his side. I see a good emotional conflict/roleplaying opportunity for them becoming close friends, even, for the companion spot.

It probably could lead to infatuation. I think that the journey to love in roleplays is more interesting than when you finally get there, sometimes, because there's a lot of conflict and whatnot. And if we decide on this, I don't want it entirely set in stone what's going to happen, so it leaves open spaces for rivals and stuff. I just want to make it difficult and drawn out. x3 *mean to characters*

NIKA:Seeing as Nika and your character are in diffrent packs , its a bit obvious that they would be enimes, and i have a feeling your character would dislike Nika, with a passion (:

HEHE!

If you want to, sure. I'm sure we can work up an encounter to fit that role. Or at least something close to it.

[• FREYA]

FREYA, FEMALE. TYTANUS, ICE, SOLDIER

considering freya is a loyal member of zynex, i have a feeling they would be friends. their relationship would be close companions, freya is only open to those close to her and it would be interesting if zynex would be one of those rare characters. also perhaps they could be cousins or something like that, that would be pretty interesting for them to be family.

[-zynêx-]

family and companion it is. We can work a post on how they are related. There is a chance it would be related by the mother's side. Or they were from the same previous pack and met again after some time.
