OOC Information
OOC Name: Moonrose
Link to Previous Character: Ni & Tez
General
Name: Dominique
Alias: Domino, call her anything else and receive the silent treatment
Species: Keiyou x Lumen Hybrid
Gender: Female
Age: 6 years
Pack: Loner
Rank: n/a
Physical
Height: 50 inches
Weight: 82 lbs
Appearance: She is extremely tall, and there is very little weight on her lanky body. She is very fragile because of this and even her appearance states this much. A simple touch from something as small as a leaf would seem to break her. Like her Lumen half, she is small in all bodily aspects, except perhaps for her wings. Her legs are very thin and frail, seemingly twigs from a certain distance. Her stomach curves in very close to her spine, as though if it were to shrink any smaller it would be touching the very vertebrae that gives her back any definition whatsoever. She appears very emaciated, like she hasn't eaten in many days, though this is far from the case. She eats like a normal wolf, but obtains the incredible thinness from her Lumen blood.
Her fur is rather odd. It is mostly an ivory white, much like that of a normal Lumen with no preference to coloration in the hairs. This is normal for her species, the cross between a Keiyou and a Lumen, but from her Keiyou parent she gains brown accents all across her body. They are in simple places rather than being such an overwhelming feature. Her front left paw is a pretty shade of milk chocolate, as well as her hind right paw. The tip of her tail and the tips of the area where he chest begins to connect with her stomach is shaded the same hue. The fur that extends from her cheeks, on both sides, is a slightly lighter version. Her left ear tip is shaded the same as the cheek furs.
The biggest physical aspect of her body would have to be her wings, something she inherited from her massive mother. The feathers are rather messy, but she keeps them clean on a daily basis. They are large for her body and occasionally she will lose her balance whenever walking or trying to run on land. This is what makes her a rather clumsy female as well as a bit of a danger to herself. Because her body is so frail and fragile, her balance being thrown off could throw her into something that would break her very easily. The coloration of her feathers are very strange, especially for those who have not seen this type of hybrid before. Every feather on her wings is a different color and the same color of one feather never sits beside the same color of another feather. Some of these colors are very vibrant and some are very dull, but the combination is striking.
Her eyes are something else odd about her, once again if no one has seen the species. They are a gentle almond shape and are rather large upon her face, yet one would notice that something is off about them even at the first look. Despite the thick lashes and the good proportions they add to her face, the coloration of them is off. Her irises, both of them at one point, are a ruby red in color. Her right eye remains this way, but her left eye is shaded over with a film of milky blue, sort of giving a purplish hue to the eye. This is because she is blind in this eye, due to an accident she had as a young wolf when learning to fly and ended up too close to the sun. She cannot see in that eye at all, leaving her at a major disadvantage in many cases. She relies on her ears and other senses to hunt and protect herself.
Other: If someone takes a feather from her wings, then they are granted a wish from that feather.
Mental
Strengths:
- Flight -- This is one of her greatest strengths, something she can excel in when she cannot excel on land as others can.
- Nocturnal -- She can see, hear, and function much better in the silence of the nighttime.
- Hearing -- Due to her partial blindness, she relies greatly on her hearing to make up for it.
- Reserved -- She keeps to herself a lot, preferring not to approach anyone else, keeping her safe in more than one way.
- Loving -- If someone does manage to get past the thorny barrier she sets around herself, one will find a heart deeper than the deepest oceans.
- Loyal -- She is extremely loyal in every way possibly, but only if one can manage to become her friend.
- Observant -- Due to her lack of teaching at a young age, she had to rely on herself in order to learn many things. With her eyes and ears, there is little that she misses.
Weaknesses:
- Blind -- Her left eye only sees darkness and nothing more, putting her at a major disadvantage.
- Daytime -- Because her eyes lack pigment, it is difficult for her to withstand sunlight for very long, not to mention that her blindness was caused by it.
- Frightened -- She is scared easily by everything, so approaching her is very difficult.
- Wary -- Her trust is hard to earn, and she is very careful in giving it out.
- Frail -- Physically she is extremely frail, with hollow bones and a poorly built structure, but mentally and emotionally she is shaky too.
- Clumsy -- Her wings are a major cause of this, as big as they are, so she is careful to where she walks.
- Awkward -- When she does manage to talk to someone in any way, her speech and actions come out awkward.
Personality: Domino is a rather shy female, recessing within herself to hide away from the pain that she sees so plainly in the world. She is a delicate wolf, having hidden away from everyone else because of the horrible things she experienced within her own short life to this point. She doesn't do well in talking to others nor does she do well in being near them. She is very fragile and is afraid to break herself if she were to come near another wolf at all. She adds onto this ability to avoid others by becoming nocturnal. Not only is it healthy for her in the sense she won't go blind, but there are less wolves out at night in her mind. Underneath this thorny, distrusting exterior, however, is a wide and loving heart. She adores those whom come to gain her trust and there is little wavering doubt in her mind when it comes to her loyalty. Her loyalty is undying when she gives it away.
She does have her negative side, though. Her blindness hinders her in more than one way, especially mentally. With her mother abandoning her with no survival skills whatsoever, she only finds that her blindness gives her more of a weakness to deal with. She hates it, but she lives with it. She also harbors a general hatred for all wolves, especially those with wings because of what her mother did to her. She did not know her father, leaving her to hate all other wolves because of it. She does not go out into daylight at all, and if she does it is extremely minimal. Her trust is hard to earn and she never gives it out unless she knows she can believe in the heart of someone else. She is wary and frightened of every living being that comes in her direction, rather than hatred of them. She is very frail, physically and mentally. If one thing breaks her heart, then she has a very difficult time giving it back out. She is very awkward when it comes to being around other wolves, preferring flight over fight instincts. She can hardly talk as it is, because she doesn't do it that often, and when she does speak, it comes out strange and stuttering.
History: As a hybrid like this is strange, it would be strange to find her parents willing to mate to create such a being. However, it was far from willing. Her mother was a Keiyou and her father was a Lumen. Her mother was a lone female whom traveled plenty and one day had managed to injure herself by miscalculating one of her landings. By doing so, she had sprained one of her wings severely, chaining her to the ground until it could manage to heal. Little was she aware that she had landed in the practically inescapable territory of an all-male pack. She didn't know of the danger that she was in, but she proceeded deeper into the territory in order to take shelter before the weather caught a hold of her and killed her.
The female had managed to clumsily catch herself a rabbit to eat and had hidden away in some thorny bushes to keep herself safe until she could nurse herself back to health. For several days, she had kept herself hidden within the brown brambles of the territory, though she knew that she was within growing danger. Her scent was everywhere and the longer she stayed, the stronger the smell upon her pelt grew. Even though she was aware there was the chance that someone owned this territory, there was no way that she could leave yet. With the dull ache remaining within her feathers, she couldn't risk breaking her wing and staying here longer by flying.
A male Lumen was sauntering about the territory, watching out for anything that could be intruding upon the territory he made his home with his pack. He came across Domino's mother, a grin stretching wide on his lips. The pretty feathered female had managed to put herself in a place where he could keep her for his pleasure. It would only be that night, that he would make sure of. Pushing his way through the brambles, he put on his charm and asked if she was okay. While she did not trust him right away, she came to do so within the hour, a mistake she would soon regret. Slowly, he was draining her energy until there was nearly nothing left, but kept her conscious for what he was about to do to her.
Tears streamed down the beautiful brown Keiyou's face as the larger male raped her time and time again within the next hour or so. It scarred her and all she could do was think about it while she steadily regained her energy, the energy that he stole from her in order to steal her purity from her. She escaped that area as soon as she could stand on her feet, and was soon to discover that she was carrying the child of the bastard who had taken advantage of her. When she gained knowledge of this, she did everything in her power to get rid of it. However, she failed to do so, and ended up giving birth to the living thing she found to be a monstrosity.
Dominique was born with her bright feathers and her pale coat, something her mother found disgusting. This was no Keiyou, nor was it a Lumen. It bothered her to no extent, but she could not leave the damned creature to die. So, she cared for the female until she was old enough to survive on her own, then abandoned her out of the blue with no survivals skills whatsoever. She could not fly nor could she hunt on her own. For the first two years of her life, she had relied on her mother to feed her and now she had nothing and no one. She was alone, by herself, and this is what began to breed her general hatred for all wolves, specifically those who had the ability to fly as she did.
As much as she did not like other wolves, she had to learn to care for herself before she died, even though she was aware it was her mother's initial intentions. She wandered on land, catching what she could while watching a group of land wolves in order to learn to hunt properly. Her frail body restricted what she could catch, though, and her wings made it difficult to walk about let alone catching the food she needed to survive. She managed greater, however, when she found herself observing flying wolves. It was here that she taught herself how to fly by copying the movements that they made.
Dominique's first attempt at flying was in midday, a mistake that she would quickly regret. She brought herself out of the shadows and into the sunlight too quickly, stupid enough to look into the bright light shining upon her with a single eye. It blinded her almost immediately and she was lucky to have been close enough to the trees as it was, having landed within them. They broke her fall and she curled on the ground in pain the rest of the day. As time passed, the sight did not return to her eye, leaving her blind permanently within her left eye. The only thing that she changed within her daily routines was doing everything at night, as well as teaching herself to do the same things she always did with only one eye to see out of.
