ᗯOᒪᖴ'ᔕ ᑎᗩᗰE:. Akyra Andraste Faladon, though she goes by only her first name, Akyra; most don't even know that there's more to her name than simply that.
á—©GE:. Akyra is around three years old.
GEá‘Žá—ªEá–‡:. Female
á—©á‘á‘EᗩᖇᗩᑎᑕE:. Akyra is a mid-sized wolf, maybe a bit larger, but nothing extraordinary. Her build is that of a runner; lithe and slim, with strong hind legs. Her body is covered in thick golden fur, which grows lighter around her face and underbelly and is just short of being considered scruffy. Her eyes, reminiscent of the ocean, are a piercing blue-green. A black streak runs down her forehead.

ᖇᗩᑎK:. "I'm the Beta female of the pack. Heck, for me, it was either Beta or Omega- I don't think anyone could tolerate me if I wasn't so able to kick their arse. I suppose in theory, I'd make a great Beta- in practice, it's a different story."
ᗯᗩᑎTEᗪ ᖇᗩᑎK:. "I guess it can't get much better than this for me, but if I could, I'd go out and see the world- alone."
ᔕTᖇEᑎGTᕼ:. Akyra's strength comes, not from her muscles, but from her brain. She's a strategist- she knows how to assess a wolf's weaknesses, manipulate others, and twist things to her advantage. Though she isn't very strong physically, she's fast, and light on her feet. As she says: "If those big tough brutes want to hurt me, they'll have to get to me before I get to them." Another strength of hers is her experience with surviving on her own- drop her off in the middle of a desert and she'll find a way to survive.
ᗯEᗩKᑎEᔕᔕ:. Though she doesn't show it, Akyra does have weaknesses- physical, personal, and emotional. Her physical weakness is that, despite her high ranking and fighting skill, she isn't very large or strong- in a fight, she counts on her wits and speed to wear down a stronger opponent before she makes her move. In a straight-out, close-range fight to the death where she doesn't have much room for movement, she would probably lose. As for personality-wise weaknesses, even Akyra knows she has plenty of these. She's a wolf who likes to keep to herself; conversation and cooperation are not her strong suites. When she does have to work with others, she often finds herself taking the lead and arguing with those who don't support her views. Along with this, she's rather stubborn, and doesn't tolerate dimwits. She can be rude- both intentionally, and unintentionally, so she doesn't tend to have many friends. She also has trouble expressing her feelings, so is constantly misunderstood. One of her worst weaknesses is her refusal to admit weakness in the smallest way, even when it comes to asking for or accepting favors.

á‘EᖇᔕOá‘Žá—©á’ªITY:.
As for her personality, since she grew up a loner, Akyra has more or less always fended for herself, and this is very apparent in her personality. She has a very cynical, realistic philosophy, and is rarely optimistic unless she feels something can be accomplished without doubt- then, she feels almost invincible, but any small thing that goes wrong is enough to bring her down again. Though she will work together with others when necessary, she does so in a businesslike manner. She's usually quite reserved with her feelings- other than anger. When it comes to social situations, she prefers to avoid them in general due to her short temper, preferring to work alone in splendid isolation. She finds it hard to trust others- the only one she trusts completely is herself. She's a bit arrogant, refusing to admit weakness in any situation and sometimes viewing herself as better than others. She is often misunderstood as being cold and aggressive.
Akyra has a very rebellious attitude, which gets her in trouble often. Since she grew up as a loner, she got used to being her own boss. Oftentimes, others see her as being selfish; though this may be partially true, Akyra is driven by instincts to survive- an 'every wolf for themselves' philosophy. She refuses to be tied down to any place or loyalty, and likes to do what she want and be her own person. However, she isn't all bad. She is, at some level, driven by an internal sense to do the right thing. To those lucky enough to call Akyra their friend, she's very loyal and protective- you cross Akyra's allies, you cross Akyra as well- and that is not something you want to do. She does her best to be a bit more open around her friends, showing a completely different side- she's a dreamer, adventurous, with a sarcastic sense of humor and a thirst for knowledge.
Under the tough mask that she puts on, Akyra is a dreamer; she's the kind of wolf who wants to see all there is to see and solve the mysteries of the universe. She's got a sarcastic, slightly self-deprecating sense of humor. She's a bit of a perfectionist, and quite mature. Despite her rough past, she's a sophisticated, smart wolf with a love for fairy tales and the natural world. She can be found, on her good days, wandering the woods or staring off into space dreaming of better times. Definitely adventurous, she has a bad habit of wandering off for hours at a time because she found some new cave or waterfall, or something else of the sort. Her hobbies include exploring, swimming, and being alone with her thoughts. She will not hesitate to revert to aggressive means to protect her friends- the ones she has, she values greatly. She is a lot more gentle around her friends, and does her best to be a bit more open with her feelings.
ᒪIKEᔕ:. Akyra generally likes being alone, exploring the forest, swimming, and high places; she's a rebellious daredevil who likes to stick her nose into every nook and cranny.
ᗪIᔕᒪIKEᔕ:. Akyra dislikes extreme heat, dimwitted wolves, other wolves in general, overly flirty wolves, annoying wolves, and... well, basically most wolves, and they tend to dislike her. She also hates being pushed to talk about her feelings or past; that is something she keeps to herself, and she chooses when to reveal it in her own time.
ᗪᖇEᗩᗰᔕ:. Akyra's dream is to leave the pack and travel the world; to see all there is to see to it, and perhaps one day find a place to call home. Her slightly less realistic dream is to fly; she loves the feeling of the wind brushing her fur, and the thrill high places give her.
ᖴEᗩᖇᔕ:. These are things Akyra isn't going to tell anyone, but she secretly fears being helpless and weak. Another thing she won't admit is that she fears that she will stay in the same place forever, staring at the same landscape and the same sky and the same wolves who shun and dislike her. She fears that no one will ever truly understand her and accept her for what she is.

ᕼIᔕTOᖇY:. All she's ever told is that she was a loner and survived on her own; she refuses to say anything more than this, so most assume it's a dark one. Rumor has it that she was betrayed by a family member- possibly her long-lost sister-, but no one knows for certain.
á–´á—©á—°Iá’ªY:. She had a sister, but no one knows what happened to her; Akyra refuses to say, other than that they separated before she found the pack.
á‘á‘Œá‘ᔕ:. None, probably doesn't want.

ᑕᖇᑌᔕᕼ:. Heck, no one's ever gotten close enough for something like that, and probably never will. She has at this point put aside all thoughts about the matter.
á—°á—©TE:. Probably never happening, though she does sometimes long for someone to be there for her; however, she's not the type to settle down and raise a family.
