Egyptian Feather

OOC Name: lunarcat7
Discord: lunarcat7
Character Name: Bastet Natha Ithuriel
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Appearance:


Slender, powerful and elegant, Bastet stands 36" high. She is a creature of angles and sharp edges, cloaked in a sleek, radiant coat. Her ears taper sharply and her face forms an exquisite triangle. True to her name sake her movements seem feline, both graceful and strong at the same time. Though her build is lighter than most wolves it would be foolish to consider her weak or lesser. She is strong for her size and build and because of it she has an added speed, she strikes like a serpent, fast and deadly.

Bastet's coat shifts through a desert gradient. The base coat is a soft, creamy sand color that fades along her points to a deep sable at her muzzle, paws and the tip of her tail. Her velvety ears are covered in the same rich sable. Underneath Bast's throat starts a bloom of rich, snow white that gently covers the rest of her undersides, including her chest and belly. The toes of her front paws are also dipped in this lovely white, almost as if she were poking at something she shouldn't have that had permanently dyed her fur. Flecking in colors varying from sand to sable adorn the top of her body from the base of her head to the first several inches of her tail. Her most striking feature is her bright, emerald green eyes that star starkly out from her shadowed face. They are elegant and almond shaped and there is something about them that seems distinctly feline.

Personality: Bastet is deep and cold like a dark desert night. Quiet and reserved she often appears aloof and indifferent to what is going on around her and while it is true she is far more interested in her needs than anyone else's she is not as cut off as she might appear to be. Bast is a sharp and calculating wolf, always taking in her surroundings and the body language of others. She takes the art of survival seriously and life has left her some what jaded.

Practical and straightforward, Bastet has a realistic and grounded approach to life. She knows how to do things and get things done. Dreams and frivolity mean little to her, what matters is what her senses tell her, what is tangible, what she can see, hear, smell, touch and taste. Bast is secretive. Much like her namesake she keeps her emotions and feelings below the surface and to herself but if all you see when you look at Bastet is sharp fangs and blurred shadows you'll only know a fraction of her.

Underneath her callous shell is a warmth, like a tenuous sunrise that cuts through the long cold night. It's like sunlight shimmering through shivering air, distorted, like a mirage glimpsed in the distance before darkness falls and stills the air once more. As she gets used to others and trust is built she'll relax her chill demeanor and seem almost amiable, but her blades are never sheathed. Beneath the frozen surface is a courageous and daring woman. Bastet is a wolf that will look after her own and shows her caring with tough love, no nonsense and more than a little sarcasm.

Witty and clever, Bastet is an intelligent creature with an unexpected sense of humor. True, it's often dark humor and somewhat dry but those close to her will soon get a taste of her teasing wit and a fair amount of sass and vinegar. Despite the hardships of life she still knows how to smile, especially if it's at another's expense. She is a wolf that is more sour than sweet, more edges than softness, a creature weathered by life and strengthened by struggle.


Plots/Ideas: Her first order of business is tracking down her siblings. She's had enough of wandering on her own. Since leaving their mother and heading north she's seen more of the dark corners of the world than she cared too. If she must suffer she'd rather do it with her siblings at her side. Though I'm not sure if she will be totally honest about these reasons. She may play it off as just 'happening to find them'.

Definitely would love to get her a pair of cat companions. A Caracal and a Serval I'm thinking.

Pretty open at this point to plot ideas. I do see her being more of a warrior. Her skills will be Fighting and I want to say Navigation (still debating on this one).
