Physical Makeup

Cinder is a statuesque wolf of impressive size, much like her brother. She's all well-oiled, well-defined muscle and sinew, chiseled by hard work and toil. She stands tall, with a natural air of dignity and regality, with fiery amber eyes bearing the weight of total awareness and a heavy imprint of knowing. Scars wrap around her muscles likes serpents, depicting a life of harrowing fights, near misses, and a rough family life. Her pelt is that of a wildling, forever a tufted mess, short and ruffled. The fur around her face is longer than the rest, giving her a maned appearance. Charcoal, ash, and oaken hues make up her coloration, rich in hue. A bounce between timber and scorched earth.

Trait Breakdown 

Logical

Cinder is a lot of things and logical is one of them. While her brother, though clever, is obsessive, Cinder goes about things in a more strategic and meticulous manner. She knows how to go about things to get the best results, often playing the good cop while her brother strong-arms. A survivor at heart, she knows how to get what she wants, often aiming for minimal effort with best results. Conserve, observe, and strike when necessary.

Cynical

There is nothing Cinder is more aware of than motive. She has her own and has been made aware of others very forcibly, often by those within her own circle. She remains cautious and on the lookout for friends to become foe, and for someone to change at the drop of a hat. She knows others will use what is at their disposal, just as she has. As the saying goes, “Thieves believe everyone steals.”

Family-Oriented

Cinder, despite having such an asshole of a brother, looks out for her family with the sharpest of eyes. There are very few she holds dear anymore, but Reaper, in all his asshole glory, is one of those few. She’d do anything for him, and has, even if he never saw it. His goals are hers to help achieve, no matter what he does. She has spent her life forgiving him for his behavior and it doesn’t seem to want to end. Cinder loves him with all her heart and will fight to make sure he stays alive and well. Even if their relationship doesn’t end well.

Dishonest

Cinder… isn't exactly the teller of truths. In fact, she lies. A lot. To preserve, to flee, to fight… She will spin a lie as a spider spins a web. With careful calculation and startling efficiency. The lying compulsive, most days. Sometimes, though, she will catch herself in a lie and backtrack to retell the lie as a truth. This only happens in Reaper’s presence, though. She withholds most of her verbal trickery around him, due to her unending sibling love for him. 

Manipulative

Cinder likes holding all the cards, but without anyone knowing. Sure, she has no issues taking the backseat while Reaper snarls and rips into others, but once he’s done, and there’s some part of that wolf left, she helps them. Pretends to befriend them. Pretends to be on the same side, the same *team*, fighting for the same thing. Makes it easier for betrayal, you know? Reaper gets the hate, she gets the love… together they can surround their enemies and strike. 

Quick-Witted

Cinder has the uncanny ability to whip up plans like no other. Clever like her brother and built with a strong mentality for survival and progression, she’s quick to respond and does so effectively. Churns out daily plans for daily things to get the most time efficient ways. Of course, her quick wit spans to the rest of her, making it easier for her to, let’s say, pick a personality to mold better to a new wolf, or the best response to get her what she wants. 

Optimistic

Cinder has always looked to the horizon with high hopes for her and anyone she finds herself with. She knows she can beat the odds and survive, knows she can rise above expectations and obstacles, knows that somehow, some way, she will triumph.
