Name: Akisu Tsukiyo
Age: Just under a year {make it a year in the spring}
Gender: Female
Mate: none
Sire: Orin {deceased}
Dam: Toorima
Appearance: For now, she is still growing, her legs are rather long and body isn't quite proportioned to itself just yet. In time, she'll fill out and everything will fit together. She is always going to be slightly small, being the runt that she was originally. Her small build makes her very quick and agile but she does lack a little in strength. Her pelt is a blend of grays and blacks, the blacks beginning to overtake a bit as she grows. Orbs are a stunning emerald hue, ones just like Orin's.
Personality: Akisu is normally kind of quiet and shy, only when she is unsure of her surroundings and such. If she is comfortable, she is friendly and lighthearted. She is very smart for her young age, a quick and sneaky wolf as well. She is very curious, still learning about everything and anything. This femme is growing to be kind of manipulative, she'll get what she wants if she wants it enough. In other words, she is very much like her mom. But, most of the time she is observant and busy taking everything in. Her personality has a lot of room to grow since she is still so young.
History: Akisu was the only whelp from a litter of five to even survive, and she only barely did. Her mother, Toorima, was young and had went off on her own to get away from Akisu's father, Orin, who'd gotten rather irked with Toorima and her actions. They had once been close, but by the time of Akisu's birth, they were drifting apart and starting to become bitter enemies. Toorima had hidden herself away, deep within her own lands when she'd realized that most of her litter of at the time, unborn pups were dead. She'd gotten deathly ill and didn't want to risk Orin killing the newborns, that is, if any of them were alive. The litter was born, four still born and mangled up males and the single female and living one, Akisu. She was born with a mostly silvery pelt, but it quickly darkened to a mixture of black and gray tones. Although she was the only survivor of that litter, she was very weak and small, barely clinging to life. Slowly but surely, she got stronger, able to somewhat function. About a month later, Toorima was forced to make a difficult decision. Orin was closing in on her whereabouts and she had told him, before she went off on her own, that they were dead. He'd been expecting this litter mostly because he wanted his legacy and blood to be carried on, he also wanted males specifically, or at-least one male. Toorima feared that if he found out that there was one female and that she'd lied to him, there'd be hell to pay.
The young mother sought out another female, one who'd been a subordinate in Orin's pack, and Toorima had known that she wasn't always faithful to Orin and was waiting to rebel. The femme had lost her own whelps just a few weeks earlier. Toorima confronted her and asked her if she'd 'adopt' the young Akisu. She wanted someone to raise her while she dealt with Orin and someone to eventually get her away from this place for her own safety. The female called Lani accepted this and lived for a while in the Yamamori Lands under Toorima's eye until the chance to get away was seen. Lani raised Akisu until Akisu was just under a year old. She'd always asked about her parents, not really remembering Toorima and having never seen her father and planned to find them one day. Lani had told the little femme as much as she could about her parents, only causing Akisu's fascination to grow. She grew to be rather strong willed, once she got an idea in her head, no one was changing it, she is very inquisitive and intelligent, able to think through things well, she is rather sly and sneaky, and overall, she is a lot like her mother. The little femme was strong, even from the day of her birth. Once Lani let her to her own, Akisu immediately headed for the Yamamori Lands, hell bent on finding her mother or father or anyone who would know where they are at. She managed to catch a glance of them both at their fight at the Ryuuketsu Plateau, where she watched from the shadows during the battle, staying out of sight, watching the bloody mess unfold with shimmering emerald eyes, one that everyone had told her looked like Orin's, and sure enough, she got to see those eyes in their last few moments, and they were nearly mirror images of her own.
Now, things pick up as she plans to confront either some Yamamori pack members or Toorima herself. She is very weary of this, having just seen her kill Orin, which wasn't pretty to say the least. She is a little confused on her place in life, not sure what she wants to do with herself just yet, still being really young and having a lot of life ahead of her and she does have a lot of growing left to do.
I made a few graphics that can go with her in my free time, use them if you'd like but I'd prefer if you don't change her color too much.
