Appearance:
Rava is a very graceful keiyou, and has a slimmer frame than most of her species. Her fluffy beige pelt is soft to the touch but can withstand the elements. She has a brown band around all four of her legs. Brown can also be found on her ears and on the tip of her tail. Rava's keen eyes are bright blue in color and allow her to see great distances. Sprouting from her shoulder blades are two large wings. These feathery appendages look similar to the wings of a eurasian eagle owl and are striped with brown and creamy white.

• Focused and cannot be deterred
  It's difficult to distract this keiyou when she is on a mission. Once Rava has a goal in mind, she will not let anything get in her way. Failure does not discourage Rava very often, for she always has several back up plans.

• Slow on land
  Rava is not built for traveling on land. She is not nearly as fast as the average wolf on foot.

  Rava doesn't understand a lot of emotions, and tends to keep her feelings bottled up. She avoids the topic of emotions completely and will remove herself from a situation if she can't control herself.
  
• Critical of others
  Due to her perfectionistic attitude, Rava is often dissatisfied with others and makes a point to tell them what they are doing wrong.
  
• Shy around strangers
  
• Claustrophobic
  Being a keiyou, Rava feels most at home in the air. She hates feeling closed in and becomes stressed if she can't see the sky from wherever she is.
  

Personality:
Rava is a born leader in that she wants more than anything to improve the world she lives in. She is a cynical perfectionist and can always be counted on to complain if something is out of place. She has a fear of making mistakes and takes all precautions to avoid worse-case scenarios. Rava loves organization, possibly to the point of obsession. She will do just about anything to achieve her ideal vision of perfection. A strong sense of purpose guides this Keiyou. She avoids social confrontations through appeasement, which often leads to her allowing others to take advantage of her. This female will only fight in defense of herself or others, and generally prefers not to partake in violence. However, Rava does hold a vicious grudge and will go out of her way to make the lives of her enemies miserable. She uses her cunning to subtly cause trouble for those she dislikes. Rava likes to think of herself as a very moral female. Her idea of ethics is quite primitive though, and she is a supporter of an eye for an eye. To Rava there is no difference between vengeance and justice. Although Rava is a kind keiyou, she tends to maintain a certain distance with others. She hardly ever talks about her own feelings, in fact emotions make her a bit uncomfortable. Becoming involved romantically with another wolf is not something that Rava wants any time soon. The idea of such a relationship thoroughly scares her.

History:
Rava was born into a relatively normal pack. Her father had died in a hunting accident before she and her three siblings were born. Her mother, the leader of the pack, decided that with the birth of her new pups, the pack needed more territory. She was quick to act and ignored warnings from other pack members that they were not trained for battle. Once Rava and her brothers were old enough, the alphess began a war with the neighboring pack.

It was then that Rava's powers began to surface. For some reason unknown to the young female, she had been gifted with the ability to manipulate time. It began suddenly which was very frightening to the pup. Her life passed by her in blurs and flashes, and Rava had no idea how to stop it. She preferred the sped-up version of life to the periods when time seemed to stop altogether. The world around her would cease to move, as if everything had died, and she suddenly felt completely alone. When time eventually returned to normal, the young wolf would feel extremely lethargic. Rava began to withdraw into herself, feeling that her life was completely out of her control.

A wise member of the pack noticed her odd behavior and asked what was troubling her. Rava had heard of magics before, but had never known of any power like this, and feared she was going insane. The old male assured her that it was indeed a power, and not a figment of a deranged mind. He had no powers of his own, but had known many wolves that had struggled with their gifts in the beginning. The elder helped Rava through this difficult time and taught her not to fear the blessing she was given.

The war raged on as Rava grew older, and as she aged she saw that the pack was losing terribly to their stronger enemies. Her mother refused to call it quits, and so the pack grew smaller and smaller. Wolves either died in combat or deserted to avoid dying. Rava couldn't bear to watch her brothers go to fight a losing battle. The two year old keiyou left her birthpack, angry at her mother for ruining what could have been a wonderful life and family.

Rava now lives on her own, but is searching for the right pack to join. She has vowed to not let the same thing happen to whatever group she decides to join, and has made it her mission to ensure her family's survival. She has since learned how to control her time warp abilities.
