Name: Crescendo Robinson
Preferred nickname: Shen
Appearance:
Lycan Form: Crescendo stands at seven and a half feet tall, making her relatively short for a female Lycan of her age, but she makes up for it in muscle mass. Her body is tightly toned from years of training and hunting. Brilliant, wiry white fur covers the majority of her body, although a thick mane of softer fur falls over her neck and just passed her shoulder down onto her chest. Study black claws protrude from her paws and she loved to adorn her mane with flowers and berries in her free time.
Human Form: Standing at five feet and seven inches, Crescendo is a very average woman, apart from her stark white hair and blazing green eyes. Her face features sharp angled cheekbones, a crooked smile (which she hates), and a fair completion. Normally she dresses in pastels or in summer dresses with chunky boots.
Age: 23 years
Race: Lycan
Relationship Status: Single, interested in finding a mate
Orientation: Straight
Strengths: incredible sense of curiosity, wonder for things unknown. No real fear of jumping right into things without a plan, dives headfirst into things. Reading and sketching are a couple things she has been complimented on before and now counts them as strengths. Crescendo is also a skilled hunter, her keen eyes and sensitive nose aid her greatly, as well as being a solid friend. She has never been a part of a pack but long deeply for it.
Weaknesses: Very used to speaking her opinion even if it differs greatly from those around her. She is stubborn and sometimes loses her temper. Tends to hold a grudge over those who wrong her long after the issue has settled. Has a somewhat hard time trusting people.
Personality: A Taurus by human astrological signs, Crescendo can be a bit bullheaded, but usually is willing to soften over time. She sticks closely to what she believes is right and will not sway easily. Most of her time is spent thinking and contemplating the world in her head, but she does enjoy good company. She has a good sense of humor but it can be described as an acquired taste, she is seen as "odd" by many of her human peers.
Family ties: Single brother, Tyler, who resides somewhere in Oregon. They do not speak much, if at all. He does not know of Crescendo's "condition".
History: Born in the high forest peaks of the Colorado Rockies to a single mother of twins, Crescendo's life started rough. Her mother was a failed Hollywood actress who had escaped to the mountains for dope and silence but was blessed instead with two wild children. As Crescendo grew alongside her twin brother, she watched her mother descend into a drug induced haze and basically by the time they were eight the twins cared for themselves. When she was just ten, her mother overdosed in the downstairs bedroom of the two-bedroom condo. They buried her in the woods under the pine trees she had begged for so long to bring her peace.
At around age twelve, (the two were still living as if their mother was alive and well), Shen went walking in the forest and came upon a wounded deer in the underbrush. After closer inspection she came face to face with a wolf the size of a man. The creature attacked her and tore a sizable bit of flesh from her left upper arm. She raced home and was bandaged by her scolding brother but soon after the wound healed she began to notice strange changes within herself. A sudden urge to be in the woods almost every waking moment, an increased sense of hearing and an overwhelming attraction for the company of canines.
At fourteen Shen was on her way back from the local grocer when a band of three high school boys approached her in the growing twilight. They cornered her down an alleyway, drooling like animals at her summer shorts… a single wave of fear overcame her but it was swallowed by power. She burst out of her skin into a new, incredible creature. Her teeth sank deep into the flesh of a human for the first time that night and despite the initial bewilderment she soon came to love what she was.
Years passed and she continued to learn about her second self, learning to control her hunger…or indulge in it. She learned quickly that the presence of Lycans, (which she discovered was the name of creatures like her), were commonplace in the world yet she found herself hiding due to the hunting parties prowling for her hide.
Desperate for refuge she cut ties with her brother (for his own safety), and moved from Colorado to a place she could blend in easier as a normal person. Despite making a few friends, she craves a pack and rumors of one have piqued her interest.
