Mishti said:

Birth name: None/not important
Given name: Mishti
Species: Timberwolf
Height: 2'7"
Weight: 85lbs
Age: 3 years
Sex: Female

Pack: None yet, moving toward Apotheosis
Rank: None

Appearance: Black with deep purple markings, orange eyes, and several scars across various parts of her body. She is fairly petite, close to underweight at the present time, but will probably gain a bit once she starts eating more.

Personality, Pre-change:
The female that dwells in this body prior to her acceptance ritual is, in a word, weak. She was the runt of her litter and thus grew up being stepped on by her siblings. This led her to the belief that she was weak, making her timid of mind, afraid to try anything new, thinking she was not worthy of anyone or anything. She also believed, perhaps falsely, that her body, too, was weak, and so she did not bother to test her potential. In a fight she runs instead of facing her opponent, and bears many scars from those who saw her weaknesses and preyed upon them. All in all, she is a horribly fearful sort, and needs someplace to belong before all her worry and running into the wrong crowd kills her.

Personality Post-change:
After the acceptance ritual, Mishti, as she will come to be known, will show a remarkable change. Truly believing a new soul has entered her body, having brainwashed herself into forgetting most of her real past, she is more confident, even proud. She is obsessed with keeping to the laws of the pack, feeling bound to her honor. She will be sweet to those who uphold the law, cold to outsiders, and the first to rat out anyone who breaks the rules.

Including herself.

Every so often she slips back into that fearful persona, in reality it is the memories leaking out, but believing she has obtained an honorable soul, these lapses will cause her to instead believe that a dishonorable soul hitched a ride from the borders during that weak period before the ritual was complete. She believes that this other soul should never have come, that it should be easily cast out, so it troubles her greatly that it is still with her, and she blames this other soul for any dishonorable acts, begging for cleansing and often using self-punishment in attempt to banish this "dishonorable soul" from her body.
