PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Long, wavy strawberry blonde hair falls all the way to Sahara's waist. She is very fond of weaving multiple braids into the impressive locks, usually along the sides while leaving the top flowing naturally down her back. The young woman has a naturally pale complexion, but her penchant for staying outdoors has lightly bronzed her creamy skin. The most grabbing feature of her face is the large, olive green eyes framed by thick eyelashes a couple shades darker than her hair. Her eyebrows have a natural arch and, like her lashes, have a slightly darker color than her hair. She has a youthful round face, with high cheekbones, an aristocratic nose, and pink lips that have a natural pout.

Sahara has a thin, graceful neck that leads down to delicate shoulders. Her body is fairly slender, but the rounded bust and hips paired with a narrow waist give her a natural hourglass figure. While not tall by any stretch of the imagination, she isn't short and her legs are nicely shaped and toned. In fact, her entire body is nicely toned, speaking of a very active lifestyle.

As a wolf Sahara is quite a bit larger than a normal wolf, but is probably still not considered very large for a werewolf. Her fur is a beautiful canvas of blonde, light red, and cream. In this form her eyes remain the beautiful olive green that her human form possesses.


PERSONALITY

Sahara is someone who knows who they are and is comfortable in their own skin. She holds confidence and self-assurance in her decisions and actions. Don't mistake confidence for arrogance, though. This is a humble wolf that has no problem admitting that she is not perfect. Although she does think that she is a good person.

Most people wouldn't argue with that assessment.

In possession of a big, compassionate heart, Sahara will often put the needs and well-being of others before her own. She firmly believes that if you are capable of helping someone else then you should. It makes her very generous with what little she does have. Sure, some have taken advantage of her kindness, but she would rather that then to shut herself off for fear of being used. Helping the ones that really do need it is worth the occasional scam.

While quite young, Sahara definitely has a motherly persona. She enjoys taking care of and looking after others. Age really doesn't matter much, child, adult, or elder will all likely face some form of mothering from her.


SKILLS
Talents/skills:

Sahara has spent years learning the arts of healing and herbs; although other werewolves rarely need much of her talents given their tendency to possess impressive self-healing.

Magic Abilities:

As a werewolf Sahara heals very well. Wounds that would be devastating or deadly for a human are easily recovered from and shrugged off in a fraction of the time it would take a non-wolf.

Longevity is a common werewolf trait, and she's not exception. She will age much more slowly than a human, surpassing their life expectancy by several decades.

Enhanced senses far beyond that of a human, her wolf lends her at least part of their animal sense of smell, sight, and hearing. When in wolf form she has the full strength of wolf senses.

Speed, strength, and reflexes are far in excess of what a girl of her stature should possess. She is not the strongest or fastest wolf, but would still put any human to shame.


BACKSTORY

Somewhere along the southern border of the Draconi Forest lives a small, shamanistic pack of werewolves. It was here that Sahara was born into the wilds of the plains. With Draconi to the north and Serha to the south, she spent her youngest years wandering barefoot through both the thick forests and open grassy plains. The Duhjari, nomadic horse tribes of the plains, held particular fascination for the young girl. On rare occasion the pack would have dealings with these outsiders and it always left her to daydream about how they traveled far and wide – for the plains rolled on as far as the eye could see.

She was still quite young when her mother went hunting on the plains and never returned. They never found a body, but the pack is certain that she was either killed or enslaved by a band of Duhjari. Sahara was deeply affected by the loss, and matured far too quickly as she took up caring for her younger brothers and sisters.

However, when she reached her sixteenth spring, Sahara had to relinquish her maternal role. Pack tradition maintained that she must leave home and partake in a journey of discovery. They believed that no wolf could be at peace before undertaking this rite of passage from childhood to that of a mature experienced wolf. It was with great reluctance that she set out on the journey. Her daydreams of travel had turned to ash with the death of her mother and Sahara dreaded leaving home, feeling as if she were abandoning her younger siblings.

It didn't help that while most wolves that set out did return eventually, some did not.

Eventually her wanderlust did return however. Six years after leaving home, Sahara is still wandering; searching for the epiphany that would signal to her it was time to return home. The alpha had only said that she would know when it was time, but she still hasn't felt that the call to go back.
