Name:
Quoth Swansong
Sex:
Female
Birth-Date:
May 2034
Age:
Five
Species:
Crescent Moon Wolf
Pack:
Twin Oaks
Rank:
Gamma
Duty:
Hunter
Appearance:
- 20in high/56in long
- 51lbs
- Very long for her height, but she still has a graceful look about her.
- Her legs are not too tall, but they aren't too short either, which just leaves them at what most would describe average.
- Quoth's head and muzzle are squared and strong which helps her in the long run since her pack duty is that of hunter
- Her coat colour ranges from a burnt sienna to smoky black blanketing the top of her back to beige on her underbelly. When her coat is long, lighter beige and grey hairs take over her main coat colour, lightning her a few shades. When her fur is shorter, the smoky black on her back is much more prevalent, seeing as it extends midway down her body as well the the entire length, engulfing the top of her head.
- Pale gold eyes
- Ears are somewhat short
Skills:
Endurance - Although she may not be the fastest hunter around, Quoth can last longer than most of the hunters. She can run over any terrain in any weather and temperature for twice as long as most wolf breeds without tiring
Tracking - Being a hunter requires the ability to track prey. Quoth taught herself how to track even the smallest of prey over a distance of a few miles.
Hunting Tactics - Quoth did not earn her Gamma position by mistake. She is a smart girl and can quickly figure out her prey's next move, as well as the movement of the whole herd or group. She is a wonderful strategist and often plans out the hunts before they start. Almost every time Quoth plans out a hunt, her hunting pack comes back with a kill.
Personality:
- Quoth is a very outspoken and bold individual. She is not afraid to speak her mind and let others know exactly what she thinks. This has gotten her into trouble before, but never held her back in any extreme way.
- She acts on impulse most of the time which has caused her to be in trouble and has held her back in more ways than one.
- Quoth is a smart girl but she does not like to show it. She knows what she could accomplish if she could try, especially since her younger sister is the only known wolf in the land who could read and write. She chooses to play dumb, feeling that it is easier to get by in the world by doing that.
- She can be quite full of herself at times, always boasting and bragging and doing what is best for her. When she thinks about doing something she only sees how it will benefit or harm her, never anyone else.
- Quoth likes to be snarky and just plain rude at times. She knows she does this but she does not care, it is who she is.
- Underneath her personality that she shows to everyone else, Quoth is really a very insecure wolf. She has no clue what she wants and only acts the way she does to make it seems like shes on top of things and knows what she wants in life. She never shows her true, vulnerable side to anyone. That would be a weakness that would harm her.
History:
Quoth Swansong was born third in a little of four to a pair of wolves who made their home in the wandering lands. Her litter had two males and two females, a nice eve number. They were born on a strangely cool day in May, which caused Quoth and her older brother to become very sick. Despite almost dying, they pulled through. This near death experience is what earned Swansong her name at the time.
As the four pups grew their parents began to teach them different survival skills that would benefit them in the wandering lands. They also chose to teach their children skills that would earn them a job if the ever decided to join a pack. While her mother tuaght her sister and older brother how to fish, her father taught Swansong and her younger brother the ifne art of hunting large game. He taught them how to track, how to kill with one bite, how to take down something alrge by themselves, and the list went on and on. Swansong loved her lessons and vowed to join a pack one day and become their best hunter.
One day when she was very young, Swansongs mother decided how to teach her to read. At her age Swansong seemed to be the only cub willing enough to try. Her mother taught her the basics and even how to read simple paragraphs. She also decided to teach her to write the alphabet and simple sentences with a stick in her mouth or with her paw in the dirt. As a young child, Quoth loved to learn these things. As she got older she felt that being the only one to know this made her different. Her brothers and sister began to poke fun at her reading and writing skills. After that she stopped for good, fearing that this would happen for the rest of her life. Her skill would become her secret.
Swansong continued to have a wonderful life with her parents and siblings as she grew into a fine young lady. When the day came for the children to pick their lunar names, Swansong chose Quoth. A silly word, yes; a name, no. Her siblings asked her why she chose such a strange name. She told them the moon picked it for her, but the truth was her mother used to recite to her a long poem about a raven. The word Quoth had always stuck out to her as something fascinating, even though she never found out what it really meant. That poem meant a lot to her. Her mother would recite it when she was little a few nights a week as her bed time story. It soon became her favourite and she even took the time to memorize most of it.
Once Quoth Swansong left her parents, she quickly found the Twin Oaks pack and joined. She was promoted to a hunter and quickly moved up the ranks with a little guidance from her mentor. She currently lives in the Twin Oaks pack as one of their Gamma Hunters.
