Physical Description
In her human form River has black hair, cut in choppy layers to frame her face and hang about midway between her chin and shoulders, and hazel eyes. Her skin is olive, marked on her left cheek by a long, thin scar (the most visible of her collection). She is tall and lean, muscles well trained for cross country and hand-to-hand brawls, with a modest bit of curve. Well accustomed to cold, harsh winters, she tends to favor heavier clothing, but it has to be something she can move in.
In wolf form River has thick black fur and hazel eyes; she's bigger than a true wolf, about waist height on an average sized human at the shoulder.
Personality
River likes other people well enough, but she's a lone wolf at heart. Being in crowded cities makes her twitchy, so she prefers to roam the mountains and foothills for her job. She's a good team player and always somehow manages to click with whoever circumstance may force her to work with, but she doesn't open up easily.
Magic/Abilities
No magic to speak of other than her ability to change forms. River prefers to use her hands (or, more accurately, claws) in a fight, and she's very good at it.
Relationships
Family: River is the eldest of a litter of five, with three younger brothers (Storm, Shadow, and Ash) and a little sister (Sky). Both of her parents are still living, and she now has a gaggle of nieces and nephews from her sister (two sets of twins) and her second-youngest brother (triplets).
Parents: Elise and Lake Longfang
The siblings and niblings:
Storm and his mate Akina
Shadow and his mate Nora
- parents of Minna, Callum, and Forest (5yr)
Ash (currently a bachelor)
Sky and her mate Elwyn
- parents of Sorren and Rain (7yr), and Lila and Teerin "Twig" (2yr)
Partner: Kahroan
History
The quintuplets were raised by their parents in a smallish cottage just across the Kilanthro Mountains from Connlaoth. While for most people with a bit of wolf in them pack life is desirable, River always felt a little suffocated. She left as soon as she could, but she visits often, usually with presents and stories for her family.
Recently, the eldest of her nephews has begun calling her "crazy Aunt River who sometimes lives at home"...
Unfortunately, River has a dark chapter in her past, a year of her life from the ages of nineteen to twenty. She was courted by another wolf shifter in the very loosely tied community that lives in or around the Kilanthro mountains. For the first month or two she knew Thorn he was sweet, charming, and attentive.
That changed though, gradually at first, then all at once. It started with a few fits of temper, a general surliness, then suddenly exploded into bouts of violence. River collected bruises and cuts on almost a daily basis.
With only the loving relationships of her parents and her siblings and their mates to compare to, River assumed that whatever had gone wrong in the relationship was her fault. She tried to hide the marks Thorn left on her, ashamed but too afraid to leave him.
Then she started to suspect she was pregnant, and things changed. She knew she couldn't raise a pup with Thorn for a father, and she told him she was leaving. This resulted in the worst beating she'd ever received, and caused her to miscarry the baby. Utterly heartbroken and out of options, she went to her parents for help.
When Thorn's actions came to light, he was shunned by their community and eventually sort of faded away from River's life, but the scars he inflicted remained. She never told anyone about the baby, not even her family, and she still blames herself for what happened, wishing she'd had the strength to leave sooner.
