Name: Evening Spring
[actual] Age:18
[appearance] age (If necessary): 15. She looks young even though she has reached maturity and will not age anymore.
Race: Tallamous
Type (optional): Darkness
Description or Picture: Evening makes a rather small figure. She is five foot two, ninety pounds, and has a fine, delicate bone structure. Her hair is raven black and tends to reflect the colors around her. In plain sunlight, it shines blue. Her eyes are soft, pure gold and their warmth can prove disarming. Or would if they weren't as feral as those of a wild animal. A wolf, to be exact. Her hair is short, boyish, and looks perpetually windswept. Her sense of style is...unique, and often changes drastically from a day to day basis, so there is no use describing it here.
Her ability to shapeshift has drastically affected her appearance. Her upper body is human in appearance, with the exception of her golden eyes, but her lower body is structured like that of the wolf. Basically, she has a wolf's legs and paws instead of feet, as well as a tail. Like a satyr, but think wolf instead of goat. She has a tendency to lean toward long skirts or simple, flowing dresses to both disguise this oddity in her form as well as the simple reason of comfort. Also, she does not wear shoes. Her paws don't feel right in them.
She's using her super-awesome animal calling abilities to summon cranes!!! ;D
Background (Optional): Her parents were wandering merchants. They traveled with a small caravan of other such gypsy folks. It was all a lot of fun for Evening, who loved the chance to wander and see different places. To look up at a slightly different set of stars every night. To listen to the stories told by her gypsy 'family' (her only actual relatives were her parents, though this made no difference to her) around a flickering campfire. Unfortunately, good things do not last, and their caravan was attacked a few months after she had turned eleven. The group of bandits slaughtered the merchants, who were outnumbered and outmatched. For the bandits were not human, they were of the Tallomous race as well. Criminals cared little for such things as common race. Evening fled the scene when she saw that they were losing and so managed to survive. She feels really guilty about this, and often dreams of the event. She has never forgiven herself for running. It doesn't matter to her that she was only a young girl at the time, and much weaker than the Tallomous bandits. Remorse was not such a logical thing.
After the masacre, she lived in the forests for the next seven years as a wolf, in self-imposed exhile for what she had done. Or rather, failed to do. However, she is beginning to look for other company now. She does not want to live alone any longer.
Abilities (Optional): Is able to shapeshift. She prefers the form of a wolf, but can shift into a variety of other creatures. All other forms are a bit off, though, for the wolf characteristics that are present in her human form carry over to the others as well. If she transforms into an eagle, for instance, she looks more like a wolf-style griffin. In addition, she has a basic understanding of the dark and ice elements, though she is mostly self-taught and is usually forced to improvise. Anyone with a mastery of any element will find that she isn't much of a threat. She can also communicate/call animals and is very fast and strong, though she is still weak in comparison to most of the Tallamous race.
Weaknesses (optional): Light.
