Name: Marcela

Gender: Female

Race: Were-wolf (loup-garu)

Age: 24 years old

Height: 5'6"

Weight: 145 lbs

Appearance: She looks like a normal human when in human form, and is very curvy, yet athletic, with dark blue, almost gray eyes, and short dark hair. She normally wears whatever she can get her hands on, which sometimes leaves her looking very mismatched and out of place, but she doesn't really care how she looks. Most of the time, lately, she wears variations on the Kaymakli military uniform and her clothing is a bit nicer now that she has steady employment. In her wolf form, she is a very large, black wolf.

Personality: She has become quite jaded, not really caring anymore what happens to others, it no longer bothering her what she does on the full moon nights. She has accepted the wolf side of her, even going so far as to embracing some of her more animalistic instincts and desires. Her motives are all just for survival, and she's willing to lie, cheat, manipulate and steal to do so. She always has in mind what she can get out of a situation. The only exception to all this would be concerning her adopted son, Paco, whom she guards as protectively as any mother wolf would her pup, and the vampire Zaron, her boss and lover. She struggles with the feelings that she has for Zaron, as she can't help but care about him now, yet she is still afraid of attachment.

Personality Flaws: She's jaded, selfish, and keeps most people at arms' length.

Dreams and Aspirations: To survive.. comfortably, and to be a better mother than her own was.

Hobbies and Interests: Stalking sheep, drinking, lots of sex with everyone (but especially Zaron), and playing with her little boy

Werewolf Form: In her human form, there is nothing magical about her at all, no extra senses or extra strength. In her wolf form, however, she possesses strength and speed beyond that of even a very strong regular wolf, making her very dangerous. That state also makes her very ferocious and bloodthirsty. Also, as a wolf, she is immune to any psychological attacks, and, being a loup-garu, she is not weak against any of the things that normal were-wolves are weak against, her only true weakness being against weapons made out of silver objects that were inherited (which means buying silver bullets from the store will not do it.) She also fully heals whenever she shifts into wolf form (as well as having rapid healing while in that form), which means that as a human she doesn't really worry about how much damage she takes from, well, anything as long as it doesn't kill her.

The Lunar Cycle: It is very important to keep in mind that as a loup-garu, even though she has that very powerful form, she can only shift on the night of the full moon. In fact, she has no control over it whatsoever. As soon as the sun sets on the night of the full moon, she transforms into a wolf whether she wants to or not, immediately becoming vicious and attacking whatever is nearby (which also causes her clothes to be destroyed, making it necessary to go "find" a new outfit in the morning). The lunar cycle also affects her psychologically a little. The more moonlight there is, the more animalistic her instincts become, and she ends up spending nights close to the full moon very irritable and hungry. The night of the new moon gives her the most relief from those symptoms and she seems quite calm on those nights. Most of the time the mental effects can be seen as she gets twitchy. She tends to use smoking to calm the twitching, though it does not curb any of her desires. (I will be working off of the actual lunar cycle just to keep things fair so that I can't just claim it to be a full moon whenever I feel like it.)

Marcela was born a "loup-garu," the type of were-wolf that is caused by a curse or inherited curse. Her family curse goes back a few generations to an ancestor that pissed someone off just a bit too much. When she was still young, her mother (a were-wolf) killed her father (a normal human) on a full moon night where they weren't being careful enough. Marcela saw how much this depressed and affected her mother, so she swore not to become like that and has tossed all cares aside. At the age of 13, she just couldn't stand being around her mother anymore and left home and basically lived on the streets or in the woods alone ever since.

Then everything started to change for her as she actually began to befriend a man named Will. Despite his attempt to "cure" her, repeated encounters with him eventually started to lead to her seeing him as one of her pack, so to speak. Then one full moon night she did as she normally does and killed all that got in the path of her getting to her prey, this night a flock of sheep as usual. Will found her the next morning and was a bit shocked, not only from seeing the dead shepherd and his wife, but also from finding their now orphaned two year old son. He guilt tripped Marcela into taking care of the boy, an amazing feat in itself, mostly by playing with her motherly instincts but also by promising to help take care of him. She reluctantly agreed and named the boy Paco.

At first she was mostly content to let Will take care of Paco on his own, visiting occasionally and bringing the boy whatever little toys and trinkets she had found, or most likely stolen, but over time she became too attached and possessive. Then one morning after spending the night with Will and Paco, she awoke to find Will gone, and she hasn't seen him since. She feels a strong resentment toward Will for leaving her with full responsibility of Paco, and she struggled ever since to figure out how to survive again, now having to keep the needs of a small child in mind as well.

It wasn't long and she was finding that she was unable to watch him all the time, feeling guilty about the nights when she'd have to leave him alone, and he was getting sick. A vampire by the name of Zaron happened upon them and saved them from a would-be predator. He felt a soft spot for the young lad as well and agreed to take them in, on a couple of conditions. Marcela became his blood doll, and also began to train to work for him in his band of mercenaries.

After living for a couple of years in Zaron's military base, Eagle's Nest, Marcela and Paco settled into a safer lifestyle and grew close to him. Paco especially took a liking to Zaron, who liked the boy well enough to have him legally named his heir. Marcela found herself growing fond of him as well, especially seeing how he was so kind to her adopted son, and couldn't help becoming attached to him with how consistently they were having fun between the sheets and everywhere else despite the way she tried to hold him at arms' length emotionally. It finally came to a point where it scared her off and she intentionally avoided him for a month, trying to shake herself of her developing feelings for him, until he approached her on the subject. He tried to convince her that attachment wasn't something to be so afraid of and proposed to her, assuring her that he wouldn't require her to be sexually faithful. Much time spent thinking and discussing it later, she finally accepted once he further promised her that she could never accidentally kill him and that he'd do whatever necessary to protect Paco from her.
