Character's Name:
Iara Wayfinder

Nicknames:
Iara, Iar

Age:
40

Gender:
Female

Species:
Wolf (Chortari)

Abilities:
Iara is a master of subterfuge and distraction. Her ever shifting coat and markings make her hard to ignore, and she uses this to her advantage. It's hard to look away from her, in fact. Very hard, and there's a strong urge to do what she says...

She's a hypnotist, and her coat is her weapon. Once drawn in, it's hard for many weaker willed individuals to resist her suggestions. Her thralls aren't limited to just wolves, either. Many animals fall prey to her blinding display, making her a valuable and effective huntress.

Iara can also disappear, quite literally. She has some command over light, and uses it to completely hide her form. While she can't hide her scent, she has a great deal of experience in avoiding others. Iara loves to eavesdrop, and uses her unique talents to spy and gather intel.

Appearance:
Iara is beautiful and elegant in all she does. With a slim, graceful build, her body is lean with long legs, a rather long build, and a long, fluffy tail that trails after her like a wisp, she is truly a sight to behold. Her eyes are a vivid magenta color, and stand out against her dark fur. Her pelt is made up of deep, rich purples and orchids that shift and swirl in the light. She never looks the same twice, and for many, her constantly shifting colors are...distracting.

Her pelt is nothing compared to the markings that cover her body. Long, thin lines swirl and spiral over her muzzle, neck, torso, and back. These lines shift in color, from white to mint to lilac--much like an aurora. She is a rather dazzling sight, especially when she wills the lines to glow. It's rather hard to look away.

Personality:
Calm, collected, and forceful, Iara is very much like water. She bends and adapts to any situation, never losing her flow. She's often aloof and in her own world, but perhaps appearances aren't all they seem. While she often seems distracted and in her own head, Iara is watching all. She has an eye for detail, and is rather fond of eavesdropping on others to stay in the know.

Perhaps more social than other's in her pack, even if only by appearances, Iara can put on a smile and schmooze with the best of them. She knows what others want to hear, and boy does she say it. Flattery will get you everywhere, and Iara has places to go. Everything she does is to further her own status within the pack, and her ambitions are a closely guarded secret. While she wouldn't overthrow her king, she certainly wants to be queen, and will do anything within her power to obtain that title.

She has few true friends, and views most others as pawns in her little game. When crossed, she'll bide her time and strike back at the opportune moment. It's probably best to stay on her good side.

History:
Born and raised in the Chortari pack to a pair of low ranking wolves, and seeing the treatment of her parents, Iara made a promise to herself to rise in the ranks. Her climb through the ranks has been a long battle, and she's struggled to prove herself from a young age. She made a name for herself as a promising hunter, and when her magic finally developed she made herself an indispensable asset. Able to manipulate prey and completely hide from them, she provided for the pack. Able to turn invisible, she could gather intel and snuff out problem members before they had a chance to cause trouble. Now, she aims her sights higher: the position of queen.
