other, scars mark up her shoulders, slash marks from a previous battle, one for which she almost lost..
personality: A creature best suited to crouching in the shadows, Tiiah is a particularly vicious female, preferring not to show such a side unless it suites her own interests. She is normally silent and brooding, never allowing others to be any closer than she wants them to be. A commanding presence, but that's all. She knows more than she lets on, and only her enemies know just what a killer she can truly be.
She has a warrior's spirit, that's for certain, always diving into the midst of battle whether her side wins or loses. Tiiah however, is knowledgeable in battle, and prefers to ambush rather than run straight at an enemy, though she'll never argue with what one tells her to do. She's subservient enough to follow orders, but, when given the chance, will do what she thinks is best given the situation.
Most of all however, Tiiah carries a burning hatred for all things human including the pathetic fools that serve them (namely dogs). If she comes across one or the other, she will attack, whether they have harmful intent or not.
Most wolves however should be wary of this particular female. If you get on her bad side...you stay there. And should she ever seek vengeance upon your soul...it'd be best advised to watch your back for the rest of your days.
history: Tiiah has had her large doses of bad luck. Blame it on the patterns of the stars for when she was born, or the warnings the trees tried to speak on that day through rustling leaves.
She was born in Autumn, when the leaves were still in the process of turning red, orange, and yellow, and there was still plenty of game to be found in the forest- just before the great hibernation. Snow had not yet littered the ground, and everything was at peace- or should have been.
Tiiah's mother and father had unfortunately left their pack territory, on a mission to make peace with a group of renegade wolves that had wandered in without invitation. The peace treaty failed horribly, for the renegades had planned to shatter the pack structure and take over, and with the two warrior wolves too far away from their territory to seek help, it was easy to dispatch of Twilight Sky and capture the pregnant Ithica.
Perhaps the Renegades pitied the now-mateless female enough to not kill her or perhaps they were just twisted enough to let her suffer, though the travel alone and the stress of losing her love left Ithica weak as she gave birth that very night. She died along with her 3 stillborn pups, the only survivor being Tiiah.
For one reason or another, the wolves decided not to kill the pup who never had a recollection of her real parents. She was nursed by the loner pack while at the same time, her true pack was destroyed. The pup became a member of the Fire Runner pack, not knowing of the truth that destroyed everything she should have known.
The Fire Runners were harsher than most. They were survivors, and weren't afraid to do what had to be done for the sake of the pack. This usually involved killing all traitors and all whom were deemed as enemies. They were a growing power, growing stronger from the way in which each member was taught to be utterly ruthless, keen, and quick to devour.
That wasn't enough to save the pack however. Bad luck seemed to follow Tiiah again one day as she came back from hunting to find Man within her pack territory, killing pack members left and right with his gun, while his hunting dogs tore through the area, catching any runaways with powerful jaws.
There were screams that night. Terrible, animal screams of pain and horror. Tiiah was dazed at the massacre before her, blinded by the sight of so many dead that she almost didn't register the metal contraption aiming at her...the wolfess bolted, bullet just missing her shuddering flank, with dogs in hot pursuit.
Stopping before a small cliff overlooking a river, the femme tried to stand her ground to the dogs, snapping and biting in the way that she was taught. She gained the slash marks on her shoulders that night while the dogs pounced and overwhelmed the lone wolf with snapping jaws....she somehow found the strength to roll her body off the cliff and into the river, hounds losing the trail of their prey as she drifted down and down until her clawed body met shore.
Slowly, Tiiah struggled to get up, having lost everything near and dear to her not once, but twice (the former for which she'll never know). She began life again as a loner, wandering the wilderness as dark thoughts made pretty patterns in her mind. She was a survivor. She would survive. The question was- would she survive alone?
