Heather

One of my earlier OCs. Originally called Heather but then changed to Misomie but then decided to change back to Heather since Misomie became more of a username as I drifted from this oc as my main. Heather is a type of fantasy wolf that battles with electricity on her side.

Slightly grouchy and easily annoyed. Tries to remain in control of her feelings but struggles to keep them in check. Ferocious if provoked and won't hesitate to electrify foes. Heather is her most relaxed when surrounded by nature or when alone or with close friends. Confident when in control but super anxious when in large crowds and small spaces. 

She absolutely loves storms and dreary weather. Lightning storms are a particular favorite and will energize her. She loves when the air's electricity will just crackle when it meets her own. 

Although she can generate and discharge electricity all over, her favorite and most direct way is through her teeth. Her canines end up working similarly to the prongs in tazors if she gets a good grip with her bite. If directing a ranged attack, she'll often bark instead. The barking acting and sounding more like thunder than a non charged bark. 

Heather is from an estranged family. She's the eldest sibling with an identical twin brother (who also commands lightning) and two younger siblings (one who commands ice, the other fire). She tries to make friends but is often reserved and socially awkward so she struggles. However she can be overly protective to those she does manage to befriend. 

Heather is highly competitive and won't back down from a challenge. This trait has gotten her into trouble on more than one occasion when she has taken on more than she could do. 

When not running around howling at storms, Heather enjoys spending her time reading and playing video games. She'll also relax by trying new dishes that work with camping in mind; usually with foraged materials or minimalistic techniques. Heather also almost always has some form of camera with her. At any given time it contains hundreds of photos of the sky, meals she's cooked, plants, bugs, and friends. 

From a young age Heather was groomed to be a very powerful wolf and to do her pack's bidding with no agency for herself. Heather ended up running away at a young age once she learned that her younger siblings weren't just living with their father but were rather kicked out for not being able to wield lightning and that she too was being used. She still struggles trying to meet her own expectations as a result and has issues trusting and opening up to others.
