OOC Information
OOC Name: Parallel
Link to Previous Character: None

General
Name: Zyrsa
Alias: She'll pick one up from what others call her
Species: Cael
Gender: Female
Age: 4 years
Pack: Loner
Rank: n/a

Physical
Height: 32 inches
Weight: 100 lbs. in the water, 75 out of it, varying 5-10 pounds depending on conditions
Appearance: Zyrsa is a bit short for a cael, but that hinders her in no way. Her pelt is an off white color. Her throat and underbelly are tinted very faintly with navy blue. Her eyes are a solid silver. Because of such, she looks to have depthless eyes, they appear almost as though they are smooth silver coins. Other than the tinting on her underbelly and throat, she has no other markings. Her front paws are very large and webbed making her a strong swimmer. Her tail is proportional in size to herself. It ends in two turquoise flippers. In a circular pattern webbing spirals from where her scales start to her two flippers. It may look useless and seem like it would hinder her in swimming, however, the webbing is connected to muscles that cause it to aid her in swimming by pushing back against her tail. It causes her to spin forward when swimming making her a very powerful swimmer.

As for her shape, her legs are proportional to her body but thickened with muscle. Her snout is very narrow at the end, almost like a fox's, the shape streamlines her when she swims. Her hind paws are just as large as her front ones, but they are not webbed. Her fur is short but thick with lots of oil to waterproof it. It's texture is smooth, not soft, but certainly smooth, and perhaps not a desirable texture but it stream lines her even more.

Zyrsa does not look very feminine and actually looks very clumsy. On land, she is, but in water that description would be inaccurate. Because she spends more time in water than on land she can't go very fast without tripping on land. Her voice is somewhat low for a female, but she has a lovely voice, she has a slightly better range on the lower notes, but still has a good range on the higher scale.
Other: None

Mental
Strengths:
-Swimming: Because of her species, she is a very strong swimmer

-Observant: Zyrsa is able gather information very easily.
-Thoughtful: This femme thinks about everything, her actions, others' actions, and everything else she notices
Weaknesses:
-Unable to Work Quickly: Because she thinks so much, it takes her a while to do anything. She's not slow, she's just thorough
-Passivity: She will go to extremes to avoid fighting verbally and physically and she won't do anything on her own
-Land: As with most Cael, Zyrsa is very weak when it comes to moving around on land
-Flighty: She doesn't stand her ground, when scared, she tries to flee
-Not Perseverant: Even though she puts great thought into what she does, if it gets too hard, she's not one to stick around
-Unconfident: She has very little respect for herself and doesn't believe she can do much
Personality: Zyrsa is a kind soul, no doubt. She possesses a quiet air and is friendly. She doesn't address others herself and won't often talk to someone else unless they address her first. She is very passive and will do anything in her power to avoid any type of fight. This femme doubts herself more than she should.

She catches on to more than most would think. Not only that, but she can think about it too. It takes her a while because she must think about something thoroughly before she will come to her conclusion but she is usually quite accurate. She is at her best in the water, being in it fills her with the security of being able to get away. For her, being able to escape harm is a very valuable asset as it is one of the biggest things on her mind. For all her strategic abilities, she wastes them on getting away if things go awry. If she figures that out then she will begin to look at other possibilities, but on land, that is very rare. In water, she is usually too absorbed in messing around to think about much else. If she were to be in a pack she would feel safest around others and would likely open up a bit more.

She is level-headed, and able to handle herself when others are rude, but this ability is a bit of a double edged sword and is caused by her extreme passivity. She doesn't like to be in situations where she is forced to defend herself and if presented with such a situation, will do whatever she can to get out of such a situation. When presented with a hard task Zyrsa is likely to back out rather than go through with it.

To some she may seem almost overly happy as wherever she is, she is always humming or singing to herself, that is, when she is alone.
History: Zyrsa was born into a mostly Cael pack that lived on an island with a lake in the middle. She was born in the shallows of said lake and at a young age developed her swimming skills. In her pack singing was a very valued asset as it drew those on the mainland to the pack. Several other females had lovely high ranges but their low ranges were lacking. Zyrsa however, had a naturally low voice and as soon as she was weaned she was trained intensively in voice development. She developed a good range and constantly sang in the concerts of sorts that were held. Her voice attracted many admirers. One in general was a very handsome Cael.

The two became mates when she reached sexual maturity. However, the male had been out hunting fish and had been taken by a blind serpent after only three months. After that she was so distressed that she left the pack to come to the mainland and start anew. In the journey, she lost quite a bit of confidence and her will to fight.

When she came to the mainland she realized she had to fend for herself. She knew how to swim and was decent at hunting, but she didn't realize how much she had to do. Being a singer had pampered her to where when she went hunting was more of a social event. She also found herself alone, no one knew who she was or even cared. It was completely up to her to survive.
