Tessalynn
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly...
I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky...
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change...
And breakaway...

Gender: Female

A Quick Glance in the Mirror||
Looks/Attributes: As far as looks go, Tessa is, for the most part, your typical young she-wolf. She stands at average height, and though she is not yet finished growing, it is apparent that she will not get much taller. She is also of normal weight. She bears a straight, rather noble frame. She has a fine, shapely face and muzzle with ears that are just the right size. Her shoulders are equipped with slightly more muscle than most wolves her age, though she is not by any terms bulky. Her chest is also average size, but is capable, moving down into long, tapered legs that are obviously good at doing what they were made to do.
Tessa’s coat is a deep, smoky hue, a rather unusual tone, but it is very well suited for blending in with the forest background. Her fur is darkest along the path of her spine, making for a nearly black stripe from the end of her nose to the tip of her tail, that blends smoothly into the rest of her pelt. Her face is a mask of silver-white, which accents her features in just the right way. The misty color plasters itself along her neck, underbelly, and the bottom of her tail, all connecting in one long marking. Her legs, though, are the same dark hazy color as her sides, and her paws and lower legs are as dark as her spine.
Her eyes are a brilliant, fiery shade of orange. They are easily the most distinctive part of her face, and are verging on the point of being hypnotic. The two flaming orbs reflect her personality with an intelligent gleam, and tend to mirror her moods. Tessa has a smooth, lilting voice and when it comes to howling, she outshines many of her kind with her enchanting melodies.
Tessalynn is attractive already, and before long she will be quite a looker. But, even though she is blessed with good looks, and a strong, able body, she doesn’t fit into a position in the pack. Making it hard for her to make any friends, aside from her snotty personality, and she is an occupational outlier, not seeming to be of any use to anyone. Just a burden that no one wants to deal with.
Height: 32 inches
Weight: 115 lbs.
Eyes: Vibrant, fire orange.
Pelt: Dark, smokey gray with white splashed across her underbelly, neck, tail, and face.

Personality: Tessa is quite moody and rather temperamental, She carries the “I don’t care about anything” attitude. She always looks for attention and will do most anything to get it. Tessalynn is anything but meek, and never fails to complain or voice her opinion. She is usually blunt and can come off at time as rather rude. Just about everything she does has to be her idea, and she is stubborn and irritating to extreme lengths. Tessa refuses to be forced into anything she doesn’t want to do.
Aside from the fact she can appear an airhead to most, she is actually very sharp witted when she chooses to use it. Tessa is a drama queen through and through, and is a very convincing actress. She is rather insecure about where she stands in the pack, she doesn’t know anything about her history, is completely without a rank she fits into well, and any one who could be a possible friend, she scares off with her attitude.
Though she goes to immeasurable lengths to hide these facts, and pretend she is unaffected by hiding behind her rebellious nature, it is eating up her heart bit by bit and before long, with just a bit more pressure, she could crack easily.
Tessalynn seems to enjoy pushing peoples buttons, especially her brother, MacArgen’s. She always falls back on her irresponsible personality, pulling up as much spunk as she can manage. While really, she is curious, and does want a shot at hard work. She just wants to fit in and feel like she’s a useful member of the Seifal Pack. And her mixture of feelings over the matter confuse her to no end.

- Being scolded {Tessa thinks being yelled at is a complete waste of time, though she listens better if its not her brother doing the yelling.}
- Being Ignored {She is an attention seeker, and being looked over just makes her try all the harder.}

Strengths:

- Brains {She is actually very intelligent, she just doesn't understand the whole concept of thinking things through. She is sharp witted, and can puzzle things out nearly as well as her brother.}
- Physical Strengths {Though she lacks her brother's brute force, she is agile, quick, and fairly strong for a young female.}
- Trying {She is a hard worker, despite her tendency to argue.}
Weaknesses:

- Thinking about consequences {She tends to jump right into things without looking it over first...}
- Her Past {Her fault is not in what she knows, its in what she doesn't.}
- Insecurity {She sometimes wonders why she works so hard to be noticed, she doesn't even know really where she fits into the pack.}
History: Naomi had been a loner all her life, as had her parents, and grandparents, and along her lines of ancestry as far any anyone could remember. She knew no other life. One day, after a particularly long hunt, she came across and massive, confused, and obviously grief-stricken male by the name of Daedalus. He was starving and dehydrated to the point of hallucination.
Naomi scoffed at him, after all, what wolf goes hungry in the middle of summer in a prey-filled forest? She took him into her charge, her distrust over-taken by her willingness to help others. She fed him and gave him shelter. By winter, Daedalus had recovered his old strength. Though, he was still upset over the death of his beloved mate Shrai. Gradually his loss faded, replaced with his growing love for Naomi.
By the next summer, they had a litter of three pups. One was still born, and another died a week later. Leaving only a young female that her parents named Tessalynn, after Naomi’s grandmother.
Daedalus began to feel guilty about leaving the Seifal pack, abandoning his son MacArgen. So later that summer, when Tessalynn was barely old enough to walk, the three of them set off for the Seifal. When they arrived, they were rejected and treated like filth. Naomi immediately wanted to leave, but Daedalus persisted, wanting to take his son with him. MacArgen wanted nothing to do with them, and they were banished. Naomi had her only daughter stripped from her care and given to Daedalu’s son. The pair left the pack with broken hearts, returning to loner territory worse than when they had started out.
Tessalynn knows nothing of what happened to her parents. She thinks she is Mac’s full sister and that she was daughter to Shrai and Daedalus, both deceased. And Mac is not about to set her straight. Her brother raised her, along with the help of the pack. She is more alone than she knows.
