Name: Myia “Lone Wolf”
Age: ~17
Gender: Female
Appearance: Myia is robust and muscular, with broader shoulders than most women, yet she still has a feminine curve to her figure. She has long, thick, wavy dark brown hair with several small braids and beads weaved throughout it, that hangs down past her shoulders. Her fingernails are hard and sharp like the claws of a canine, matching her wolfish blue-grey eyes that contoured her Native-American tan. She mostly wears snug-fitting clothes made of leather or other animal hides, usually in the form of tank-tops and shorts. She wears leather, knee-high boots and matching leather finger-less gloves. To top off her wardrobe, she usually wears a brown hooded cape which used to belong to her father.
Eyes: Blue-grey
Height: 5' 8”; below average for her people
God Parent: Selene, Titianess of the moon
Mortal Parent: Elsu “Flying Falcon” (Deceased)
Country of Origin: USA; on a Native American reserve
Pets: They aren't necessarily her pets, persay, but she belongs to a wandering pack of wolves. They don't stay with her in camp, however.
Talents: Myia is fairly good at short-distance sprinting and is fantastic at long-distance running. She is skilled in hand-to-hand combat, knowing multiple ways to kill a person with her hands. She is also a very skilled hunter, has a sharp nose, and superior night-vision. She can identify nearly every kind of poisonous plant found in North America, and also knows some remedies that can aid some of the effects of said plants. She can wield a bow and arrow properly and also knows how to throw a spear. She is very well-trained in the art of body-language, particularly that of wolves.
Weapon: Although Myia primarily uses her fists and claws to fight, she also carries a few other tools/weapons for various things. Her secondary weapon is a 10” long hunting knife of Celestial bronze that she keeps sheathed at her belt in case she needs it. She also carries a second, 4” stainless steel knife in her boot which she usually uses just for cutting fruit or meat into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
Flaws: Myia is a very headstrong, independent person. Even though she is well-adjusted to a relatively solitary life, she lacks a lot of social behavioral skills. She has been an outcast all her life, even as a part of her own tribe. Myia avoids speaking if at all possible, because she dislikes the sound of her own voice and cannot speak English very well. She can often seem distant and cold to other people, as she doesn't read well into sarcasm. She hates the indoors because she has always grown up in nature and lived among the trees. Even though she has been known to appreciate the usefulness of modern materials in weaponry (ie. Stainless steel, celestial bronze...) Myia generally avoids modern technology, and fears it to some extent. She grew up in a culture where she had to make anything she wanted from scratch, and generally likes to stick with more primitive tools and weapons because they feel more natural to her. She also sleeps during the day, and is an incredibly light sleeper.
Powers: Myia has the unique ability to change her form into that of a gray wolf with silvery fur under the light of the moon. She is not a werewolf, as some might think, because she can still think and act on her own, and her wolf form is fully wolf, not some halfway between wolf and human. She can sustain this form as long as the moon is visible, even if only partially full, or is under partial cloud cover. As soon as the moon sets, however, she must change back into her human form. Her second ability is shadow-travel, but she can only do this at night, and it is limited to how much the moon can bee seen. If it is a full moon on a clear night, she could travel as far as across the continental US, although this would probably exhaust her immediately. On the night of a new moon and during the day, Myia is left completely powerless.
Life Before CHB: Myia was fathered by an outcast within a Native-American reserve. He raised her in a mountainous forest region, away from other people, where he taught her how to hunt, fish, make clothes, and survive off the land. At about the age of five years, Myia started having extreme, violent nightmares, mostly around the time of the full moon, which terrified her father. He figured she was possessed by spirits, and ultimately blamed himself for it. However, he still devoted most of his life to taking care of her, as if trying to redeem himself for the mistakes he has made in life. She was about ten when he was killed by a raging beast. It nearly broke her, but this tragedy ultimately made her learn to be strong and independent. On his death bed, he told her to hold on to tradition, and to never let the wills of men break her. After mourning his loss, she quickly picked herself up and continued on with her now independent life. Since she pretty much knew how to survive, even at a young age, she decided to travel the lands. For the next couple years, she mostly stuck to the areas which she and her father lived, but her nightmares never left her. In fact, they only worsened. Just as they brought her to the brink of insanity one particularly painful night, she discovered her wolf powers. She couldn't control it for a very long time, and feared it, starting to think that is was she who had killed her father. The thought terrified Myia, thinking she was some terrible creature who shouldn't be allowed to live. As the months went on and her transformations became more frequent, however, she learned to control this form and use it to her advantage. At some point soon after, she was adopted by a roaming wolf pack, where she learned the ways of the wolf. They accepted her, despite being human half the time, as one of their own. She found Camp Half-Blood among her travels, and told her pack to go on without her. Since then, she has spent much time in the city, trying to understand modern way of life, even though it still eludes her.
RP Example: Myia sat crouched in a tree deep within the forest as she looked up into the sky, watching the sunset intently. She wondered where her pack was, and what they were up to. Probably sleeping, or perhaps waking for their nightly hunt. She yearned to howl for them, letting them know she was okay, but knew full well the hell-hounds of this forest were more aggressive and territorial than her family. She learned that the hard way moons ago. Myia pulled her cloak around her bare shoulders, feeling the chilling breeze of winter trying to sneak up on her. The moment the sun set, she figured, there would be no need for this cloak. All she would need was the fur on her back for warmth then. Myia turned to look around the horizon as she felt power begin to seep within her and noticed a corner of the moon peaking over the waves of the ocean. She leaped down off the low-hanging branch where she had spent most of the daylight hours sleeping. The moon wasn't full tonight, and wasn't even quite risen, but it was enough to give her the ability to transform.
