Name: Nightshade
Gender: Female
Race: Wolf
Sub-Race: Demon
Breed: Druin
Pack: Giaku
Rank: Sicarius- (Assassin)
Appearance: Nightshade is small for a Druin, standing at barely seven feet at her shoulders. Her fur is thick and so black it shines a deep violet blue color in the sun. The scales that adorn her body are perhaps even blacker than her fur but are flecked with silver like the night sky. A pair of silver horns reach up and back in a gentle twisting curve. Nightshade's eyes are the color of mercury with uneven, broken black streaks that radiate from the pupil. Both of her ears are pierced with small hoops of white gold spaced close together from the bottom of her ears to the tips. On each hoop is a single gemstone or rock, each a different color, that she has fashioned into small beads.
Personality: When Nightshade isn't on a job (and sometimes when she is) she is very playful, but others don't always see humor the way she does. Though she never doubts herself as a killer, Nightshade is very uncertain of herself and sometimes others take her as haughty or cold since she is shy. When she's working she becomes confident and sure of herself, rarely faltering. Nightshade can be wary of those who wish to know her better, often mistrusting them, afraid they might hurt her.
Magic: Earth and Darkness
-Spells:
Shadow Jumping - Nightshade can move from shadow to shadow to increase the speed she travels. During the day this is nearly impossible for her to do unless she exerts a tremendous amount of energy or is in a place with a large amount of shadows (a dense forest or underground). Nightshade cannot extend this magic to any other but herself. She can only do this with inanimate objects whose shadows are stable and will not move. Once she leaves her current position she cannot change her destination and should the shadow move from the spot she is trying to reach she will become trapped in an inbetween world. The only escape is if the same shadow returns to the spot she was trying to reach. For this reason Nightshade usually does not risk this magic around others because some are capapble of producing enough light to expell all shadows within Nightshade's range, leaving her not only trapped but completely vulnerable. Nightshade can only jump to shadows she can physically see and she uses the same amount of energy as if she was physically walking or running the same distance.
Listen to Nature - Nightshade can listen to the earth and the plants if she is calm enough. Sometimes they have no secrets to share and sometimes she cannot understand what the messages mean. Again, she cannot extend this magic to anyone else. The energy she uses depends on how difficult it is to listen.
Nightmare - Nightshade has the ability to use darkness to her advantage to try and supress her quarry by wrapping them in a heavy mass of nothingness and letting their own fears defeat them. Since this is a mind trick more than anything it's effectivness depends upon the subject's own vulnerability.
Skills: Nightshade is an exceptional tracker, predicting where her prey will go, their needs and wants. Though she posseses the Druin strength, Nightshade is still not physically stronger then many of those she hunts. Because of this she is a creative killer, adept at using poisons and such. She has even learned to lace unassuming objects with deadly substances.
Biography: Nightshade grew up as privileged as any outside the royal family. Though her life was not easy, she was well provided for by her mother and father's slaves. They taught her to take care of herself after her parents died. The poisons she now uses and the passible crafting abilities she can lay claim to were taught to her by slaves and she quickly made a name for herself. Even now, she hunts for those slaves who have not had enough, and will not stand by for senseless abuse. It is the least she can do for those who ensured her advancement in the pack. Nightshade is eighteen years old now, and while she is a very good killer, she does not do so well in large social gatherings.
