-| Appearance |-
Eye color: lavender
Body structure: Smaller than her sisters and would appear rather stocky due to her thick and curly fur. Beneath her coat though is pure lean muscle, adept to great strength and speed
Appearance: Anaximache is black coated with dark blue crescent "stripes" down her legs and tail, one tattooed scar over each eye, and a trio of spots on each cheek. Her fur is thick and curly in some spots giving her a rather fluffy appearence that would look quite inviting to the touch if not for the cold glaring eyes. Though rarely ever seen by any other than her sisters, when she does appear her expression is always that of icy calm, like the placid surface of a river whose currents rend and tear beneath.
Extra: Around her neck and both front legs is a collar/cuff like ring of thick polished mammoth bone with smaller rings attached. Its purpose is to protect her neck and ankles from attack, teeth and claw slip off it surface to be caught in the rings and then ripped out with a simple jerk of her body. The thick volume of her tail fur was once tamed by leather straps tied about it, but she rid herself of this accessory at some point in the past. The bone armor she will soon be bequeathing to Phoebe, one of her sister's pups, as she heads off to Marre's Keep.
-| Personality |-
Personality: Anaximache is silent and calculating. While other will panic and rage she merely quietkly and listens eyes and ears taking in all as she is still and prepares her next move. A mystery to her own pack little is known about the eldest queen, except the whispered legends of fierce manner in battle. She is a silent and deadly force who would rather ask no questions and simply deal with manners in whch she sees fit. As a trainer of assasins she is very picky in her selection. While not vain per say she is proud and insults very easily. Beneath her cold icy silence however there is a softer side reserved only for her beloved blood sisters and has been coined a sociopath in the minds of others. Should her temper ever be roused her retaliation is swift and without mercy.
Anaximache's relationship with her only daughter is without question strange. While Antianara is respectful of her mother Anaximache knows full well this is nothing more than a ruse and a facade. Antianara keeps herself downwind and submissive for she knows she cannot defeat her mother and claim her place as the new black death. In fact she knows this day is probably a long ways into the future. Anax feels little compassion for her child and has raised her to despise her but respect the rank she holds. Theseus waits the day when the Supreme Harpy will rear up and challenge her...and will kill her without hestitation should she be too weak.
Her relationship with her son, Xavier, is equally strange. To him she is a doting mother. He is her precious little boy. Ironic for a pack that values females. She lets him get away with d**n near anything... though perhaps her doting nature is supplied by his total obedience of her, and only her.
-| History |-
Even her sisters know little about the collar and cuffs she wears, as she often slips away to take care of some business or another. All that is known is that one of these disappearances when she was younger and smaller had her returning from a human camp with new adornments. But now, at last, the real story comes out:
The bone armor and the scars on Anaximache's eyes have a story all their own. While traveling with her sisters, it was not uncommon for Theseus to slip away now and then. Once on one of her side trips, she caught a man staring at her. The next day she saw him again, and again. The man had come out intending to kill the wolves, fearing they would eat all of the meager prey he hunted to feed his family. But he grew fascinated with this strange, large, curly-furred wolf.
Anaximache, however, became disturbed by his constant presence, and sought to kill him lest he follow them and prove a threat. But by then the man had found a sort of reverance for Theseus. This reverence caught her interest and stayed her fangs. She began to visit him, coming closer to him with each passing day.
The scar on her left eye was already present at this time, glaring and pink. So one day when she came close enough, the man caught her with ropes, tying her muzzle and holding her long enough to tattoo the scar the same color as her markings, thinking it fitting to have her remain dark as night. He also slashed the skin around her other eye, giving her a second scar to match the first. In anger she burst out of the ropes that bound her and fled into the night, but did not kill the man who had caused her such pain, for she had forged a strange bond with him. It was not quite the same love bond that ties dog and master, but it could be thought of as similar.
It did not take long for Anaximache to reach a still pool, and as she bent to drink, even as the trickling blood spilled from her right eye, she saw just what he had done to the left. No longer was the scar bright and a dead giveaway of her position, but it was something dark and sinister - a new marking. And so, when the skin around her right eye scarred over, she went back to the man, this time willingly letting him apply the tattoo. Now she had a pair of darkened scars on her eyes, strange and sinister as though it was some mark from the gods. An omen of death for anyone she gazed upon.
It was on this visit that he also gave her the bone armor, carefully crafted to fit her form after having studied her for so long. This was his parting gift: it was time for he and his family to move on, after the herds. Time, as well, for Anaximache and her sisters to move on toward the land they sought to claim.
