Appearance: Miakoda is on the smaller end of the spectrum, as far as Sennyo go. Her body is thin and delicate, to the point that she appears insubstantial, as if she could be blown away, much like smoke, hence her nickname. Despite her small size, she is very beautiful, graceful, and proud. Her soft, silky fur is a pale mint green, blending to a soft silver at her underbelly and legs, and finally to black at her paws. The tips of her ears, tail, around her eyes, and muzzle are black also. Her wings are the that of a green swallowtail butterfly; mostly black with a pale mint green stripe in the middle. Her eyes are a deep, cold forest green.

She is very fast and agile, but prefers to move more slowly, with purpose. Her head is always high, her ears pricked forward. She almost seems to dance as she walks, so elegant and graceful her movement and dignified her demeanor.
Other: No

Mental
Strengths:
*Cunning; Miakoda is very intelligent and willing to use her intellect to her advantage.
*Charming; Though she typically doesn't trust or care for other wolves she can easily gain the trust and approval of others.
*Ruthless; She will do whatever it takes to get what she wants or needs.
*Adaptable; Being adaptable is a key attribute in helping such a long-lived species thrive.
*Patient; She would rather plan and plot for long periods of time than act in haste. She believes patience is important in all aspects of life, from love to hunting to revenge.
*Fast and Evasive; Her size allows her to go places others can't. She is generally faster and can hide much better than other wolves.

Weaknesses:
*Vengeful; She has a hard time letting grudges go and is a firm believer in an eye for an eye.
*Distant; She has a hard time connecting emotionally to others. She shuts herself down in order to avoid being hurt.
*Weak; Being small, she is weaker than other wolves and cannot rely on her physical strength.
*Ego; She is very proud and confident, verging on arrogance. She sees herself as ultimately undefeatable, even if she loses the battle she believes she will win the war.
*Anti-social; Though she has great social skills, she chooses to be alone most of the time or in the company of one or two others. Her small size and large ego can make her a target for others, and being alone leaves her devoid of protection.

Personality: Miakoda is very distant and cold towards others. It takes her a long time to trust and connect with other wolf, but once she does she is very loyal, loving, and protective. To most, however, she pays them no mind. She alienates herself, and often comes across as stuck up when she’s not attempting to charm someone. She is very quiet and observant, normally only speaking when she has something to say. She will analyze those around her, judging what she can say and do around each individual. Mia is quick to anger and will hold a grudge over trivial things. She will take her time to plot a way to get even with someone she believes has wronged her. As she cannot normally win a fight due to her size, she uses her cunning to get her revenge. She will keep retaliating until she is satisfied that she has won.

History: It was a cool, spring morning. Soft sunlight was peeking through the hazy mist rising from the earth. The chirping of birds was interrupted by another sound; the soft whimper of new born pups. This was the day Miakoda came to be.

Born in a litter of four, she was the runt by far, as well as the only female. Her father, Anzor, didn’t have much time to spend with his pups. He and Kailani, her mother, had left their pack to start a family and create their own. This was their first successful litter, the others having miscarried. As it was just Anzor and Kailani providing for her family, he spent much of his time hunting and patrolling for threats to the pups. As she and her brothers got older, he would take the three males with him, training them for adult life. Miakoda was left at home, much to her dismay. He was felt she would be more of a liability than an asset, due to her very frail frame. Mia developed a strong relationship with her mother. Kailani did her best to teach her daughter the things her father wouldn’t, altering them when necessary to accommodate her size. Often they played hide and seek, which came to be Mia’s favorite game.

Life went by with no major events until her fifth year. Teo’dae was her brother, and the largest of the litter. He was strong, fast, and smart. Teo was the apple of Anzor’s eye. He was also exceptionally cocky. He thought of himself as the gods gift to wolf-kind. His greatest flaw was his large size made his clumsy. He often bullied Mia, envious of her grace, the quality he lacked. This particular morning they had a rather brutal fight. As he left to join their father on a hunt, Miakoda yelled after him that she wished he would disappear. Sitting at home, she stewed in her anger. She wrote a speech in her mind of all the nasty, vicious things she wished to tell her brother when he returned. After a few hours, she spied the hunting party coming back, and leapt up readying herself for the tirade she had prepared to bestow on her brother. But she didn’t see Teo with her father. She looked at him and knew something was drastically wrong. Her mind was racing. Maybe he decided to wander for a bit to cool off. It wouldn’t be the first time he had done something similar she thought to herself, but the look on her father’s face told her this was not so. Anzor stared at the ground, eyes wet, and explained that Teo had taken off after a rabbit. He was mad and he wanted to release some anger, so he ran hard, blindly following the hare. His quarry led him to a cliff, nimbly jumping into some brush not far from the edge. Teo tried to follow, but being large and clumsy, he lost his balance and fell from the ledge. Mia’s heart stopped. There was a sound like a great roaring wind rushing through her ears, thought the air was very still. She couldn’t..- no she WOULDN’T believe it. “You’re lying. It’s a lie. He’s not gone. He can’t be gone.” The words had flown from her lips before she even realized she had opened her mouth. “No, it’s true Smoke. You got what you wanted. He’s gone AND IT’S YOU’RE FAULT!” She was stunned. Her own father blamed her. She withdrew into herself. The ambiance over their little pack grew darker as time went on. Anzor blamed his daughter for the loss of his pride and joy, and the rest of the family was simply devastated over the loss of Teo. Miakoda couldn’t take it anymore. She felt her family would be better off without her.

For several years she lived on her own. Her mother’s teachings helped her greatly, and she learned much on her own. After time, she came across another Sennyo. From her hiding spot in the trees she watched him. Sunlight glinted off his rich golden fur as he drank from a small stream. He was breath taking. His body slender and graceful, with a pelt of dark gold and black. He was quite the sight. He spied her watching him and approached. She learned his name was Bram. They hit it off instantly. Soon, they were traveling companions. As time went by, Miakoda fell madly in love. For seven happy years, they were together. Everything seemed perfect, until another she-wolf captured Bram’s attention. Mia was heart-broken. Once again, she was alone. She had no one. No family, no friends, nothing. This was a dark time for her. After she came out of her depression, she grew spiteful and cold. She swore never to be hurt again. Others have come and gone from her life, but none significant as she never let herself get too close. As of the present she lives alone. She has been considering pack life, but having never truly been a part of one she is unsure. She spends her time as a loner, travelling from place to place.
