Appearance Description: this one!
Imagine being born into this cold, harsh world - and surprise, everything is trying to kill you! Or make you very, very itchy. In addition to the regular plights of an albino (sensitive eyes, prone to sunburns), she is also extremely allergic to all sorts of fun things. Grass, pollen, sometimes it feels like the very air itself. From a young age she will struggle to thrive, often skinny with bald patches and flaking skin. Her pale fur won't fully come in lush and thick until she's almost a year old, and her eyes will almost always be bleary and streaming with liquid. The worst of it all will be the hives on her paw pads from her grass allergy. Stepping on grass will cause red, angry hives that itch so fiercely she will be nearly unable to walk comfortably barefoot. Later in life she'll take to wearing fancy shoes or covering her pawpads in beeswax to prevent severe reactions.

Once she grows into maturity, you won't be able to tell much about her afflictions at all. Mak will take to wearing furs in order to prevent sunburn, perfect her footwear, and overall slip more or less seamlessly into society (except for her almost perpetually runny nose, which lends her voice a husky and sometimes nasal quality). Due to various food allergies, she'll always stay lanky and slim. Not for lack of trying (which often leads to unfortunate consequences). Makara is a clear descendant of both her mother and father, having inherited Hana's albinism and the tell-tale Fatalis markings from her father. The deep russet stripes swirl around her front paws and swipe with precision across her left eye and over her back thighs. Scattered russet flecking can also be found in limited spots across her mostly cream pelt.
Mutations: Inherited bone spurs near her eyes
Personality: Be still, wolves of Armada. Do you hear that? It is silence. Treasure it while you still have it. Makara will tumble straight out of the womb asking questions, absolutely unafraid to interrogate the world around her. This often results in a muddled, stream-of-consciousness type babble that will hopefully, eventually peter out. She's a relentless chatterbox. Makara will beg her parents for stories and lessons of all sorts so that she can soak up the world around her. From a young age she will feel compelled to explore, despite the many bumps along the road (encountering fun new allergies wherever she roams). While you may think her poor immune system might slow her down, it's anything but. She finds everything to be a fun, new challenge meant to be conquered. Makara is unafraid to pick (and win) fights.

At some point, Makara will discover her first human artifact. It might be a rusty spoon or a dented hub cap, but to her, it will be a revelation. Consumed with the desire to research more about these mysterious creatures and all they've left behind, she'll take after her mother's wandering ways and explore as many lands as possible to discover and catalogue evidence. You want thingamabobs? I've got twenty! But who cares? No big deal! I want moooore!
