APPEARANCE

Eye Colour: Yellow
Base Coat Colour: Dark Brown
Markings: Cream/blonde patches around her eyes, cream/blonde tipped ears, undersides, and tail.
Build: Lakota is faily small weighing in at 55 pounds. She is built for endurance, having shorter legs, and a deeper chest. Her muscles are well defined from many years of hunting. She is also very agile, from her smaller stature.
Description: Lakota has a pink scar running horizontally across her muzzle, very close to the nose. She also has a scar near the left side of her mouth, close to her back teeth. It looks like two fang wounds, because the two scars are placed apart by a few inches. She also has a scar, most likely from another wolf's claws. Lakota's undercoat is a dark chocolate brown, and her overcoat is a slightly lighter brown. She has a cream patch on her chest, and the markings around her eyes are the same cream color. Her ears and tail are tipped with a bit of this creame, but they are mostly the dark brown of her undercoat. Lakota has shining yellow eyes, that are more of a golden color.


PERSONALITY

Temperament: On the surface, Lakota displays an immature sort of personality. She is decidedly stubborn and strong-willed, frequently letting her pettiness and vindictiveness get the better of her. She feels little incentive to follow orders with which she disagrees, earning her the distinction of being a loose cannon of sorts. Lakota is also rather quick-tempered, resorting more often to violence than calm negotiation to settle disputes. Lakota often displays impatience and an inability to sit still for long, which contributes to her love to wonder, and travel. But to those who have had the chance to get to know her better, they learn that Lakota is a selfless wolf, how just wants to put others on the most direct path. She likes to talk, but refuses openly share her emotions, or background. She is undeniably smart, and witty. Also a bit of a flirt, she sadly doesn't wish to have a long-time mate, or pups, as they would only tie her down.
Strengths: Smart, likable.
Weaknesses: Will voilently respond to any notions about her size, and she depth in her left ear.
Quirks: Because of her inability to ear out of her left ear, she gets agressive twords anyone or anything on her deft side.

History: Lakota was born into a large pack that had lots of territory in Montana. She was born to some Subordenates, that didnt ask premission to mate, and as a result, the litter was left to die after the two were punished. The litter was placed to the edge of territory lines, and luckly, a she-wolf was passing by when she was them. She could only save 4 or the 9 pups, But a life is a life, and at least she got to live. It turned out that the she-wolf who rescued the pups was a beta in the pack, and had knew a few wolves that had litters about the same age, so, she gave away some of the pups, only keeping Lakota for herself. Growing up, Lakota was allowed to do whatever she wanted, as long she didn't break any pack rules. Because she was a loose canon, she flagrantly disobeyed many rules, eventually, her elders had had enough, and sent her out of the oack, where she was expected to survive a hole season by herself. Unlucky for her, she was sent away during winter, where there was little prey a yearling could catch, and she survived solely on whatever she could find, be it a rabbit, or a carcass. When she was on her little quest, she had a run in with a hostile male, who gave her the scars on her leg. Also, she took a fall, which stunted her growth. Strange warmer weather thawed the ice, and Lakota didnt know it, so she fell in, and got sick, losing the hearing in her left ear as a result. That springs when she returned, she found that her Father and eldest brother were alphas, and that her mother had been killed for having 'relationships' outside of her own pack. Instead of being welcome back into the pack, Lakota was treated as if she were an omega. Angered, she went to confront her brother and father, and it's safe to say that she didnt do well, as the scars to her face are a constant reminder of the encounter. Lakota was chased away for disobeying pack law, and she began traveling. She was like this for a year or so, until she was captured as a result of the Kodiak project, and brought here, where she hopes to make pack leader, but knows she isn't used to pack life yet.
