CAIRO

Credits for all images go to windfuchs on DA.

Cairo carries his mother's stature. This handsome male stands at 38 inches, still shorter than the Viscountess, and has a lean but well-muscled form. His body is well-proportioned, though the length and thickness of his coat parrot often makes his short-furred legs appear thinner in comparison. His size gives him a free pass for intimidation and a small bonus as far as brute force is concerned. His overall build, however, has proved effective when it comes to endurance and agility. He has a good speed, but he is nowhere near the fastest over short distances; Cairo's zero-to-sixty takes a little longer.

His coloration is lighter: honeys, ambers, creams, slates, and blacks race across his frame almost haphazardly while still maintaining symmetry and aesthetics. The darkest parts of him are along his ridge line, upper tail, shoulders, striping his neck, and framing his cheekbones and eyes. Lighter whites and creams are situated between the slate, on his muzzle and lower jaw, and the lower half of his body. Darker ambers and honeys are strewn to outline indentations and muscles as well as the occasional cross-section marker (along his cranial and dorsal lines, for example). His paws and lower half of his legs are almost completely white.

Cairo's eyes are a pale amber color and carry a sort of intensity to them that sends across a message that is hardly ever close to welcoming. He carries himself with a predatory gait -- languid, calculated, and dangerous. He smells like a cold autumn night after a hard rain -- not at all unpleasant, but it does add to his frosty exterior. His voice is somewhere between a tenor and a base, but he speaks eloquently and persuasively enough without sounding too weak or too threatening -- it's perfectly balanced, almost seductive.

He has a few scars, the majority of which have come from hunts and border skirmishes. Despite his size -- or perhaps because of it -- Cairo is a good hunter and a skilled fighter. He is not well-suited for catching small game, but put him in a group to take down large prey and you will not be disappointed. His jaws mean death.

Personality

The apple does not fall far from the tree, nor does the disciple easily stray from his teacher. Cairo is, in almost every aspect, his mother's son.

He does not care to unnecessarily shed blood, but he certainly has no problems with killing another wolf -- particularly if that wolf has traitorous intentions. Cairo prefers more discreet methods of torture to his mother's physical ones, using words and psychological manipulation to weaken his enemies. He is smart, cold, calculating, and definitely not a wolf to cross lightly. Cairo may be young, but he catches on to more "grown up" topics quickly. He is certainly not naive.

Cairo is a dominant creature, demanding either fear or respect from any other wolf beneath him. The only creature he ever seems to give way to without a second thought is Maeve. Of course, he does not completely overshadow everyone else's thoughts with his own. He takes suggestions into consideration and weighs their merit. Sometimes, the ideas of others are accepted. Other times, he goes his own way. Here, at least, he is much more rational than certain others who will not be mentioned by name.

Cairo is an incredible actor, much like his mother. Because of this, he knows that he is a mere pawn in her game. He accepts it. He loves her anyway. His own acting choices are used to hide his emotions and put on an incredibly convincing front of a colder individual than he really is. He does have feelings, and he does want the pack to succeed -- he just wants it done his way, and his way ensures the Viscountess's rule is set in stone. He is not as apathetic as he portrays himself to be, though, and is fairly reasonable.

His loyalty is unquestioned, but it is debated as to whether or not he is loyal to the pack. The truth is that he does indeed care for many of the individuals within it. After all, he was born and raised here. However, his priority is to basically be a guard over the power and authority of Maeve.

Cairo is a stubborn creature, fairly callous, and deadly calm. He is disinterested in others' emotions, for the most part. He turns a deaf ear to negative gossip, ignores jabs or snappy comments, and could not care less if another wolf was whispering about him. Worst comes to worst, he'll fight them in a one-on-one combat battle or just push them off a cliff. Or report them to Maeve. His moves, whatever they may be, are made with careful planning and are executed smoothly. He is his own well-oiled machine.

Affiliations

Maeve -- His mother. He takes after her in appearance and in much of his personality, and his life's goal is to further her empire and keep her in power. Is he brainwashed? Probably, but he still loves his mother.

Reserve a female heir please?

Juno is an elegant, yet deadly creature. Her massive size towers over most, her oversized genetics coming from her father's side. Her height is an impressive 38 inches, just an inch short of her older sister's. These two females share a similar build. Juno is a muscular wolf, which does come with its perks such as her brute force and scary size, however, she lacks speed and agility, though makes up with endurance.

However, her walk is elegant and flowy, which is a bit of a shock considering her size. Though she is used to it and has adapted her walk-in an elegant way. She seems to be floating rather than walking. Juno holds her head in such a way that demands respect and her posture helps portray her importance as well.

This female coat is an appealing color, a creamy tan-ish color with scattered greys which darken over her spine, a little on her chest, face, and the tip of her tail. Her underbelly lightens to a creamy white as do her legs and muzzle. Her outer ears are a light grey while her inner ears are creamy. Juno's pelt texture is soft and her hair is long and thick. Due to this, it hides minor scars, none worth mentioning as she leads a safer life and doesn't often have to prove her dominance in a 1v1 as her size and status already show it.

Juno's eyes are shocking, like her sisters. The color is a pale amber, almost yellow color, and pops against her fur. By far this female's most gorgeous feature. The thick black line surrounding her orbs helps them to pop.

Ambitious || Cunning || Patient || Dominant || Motivated || Sadistic yet Gentle || Social || Unloyal yet Loyal || Calculating & Deliberate || Respectable || Observant || Intelligent || Optimistic || Cautious || Efficient || Confident || Impersonator || Opinionated

Juno is a wolf with many faces. She is an impersonator in front of the pack. Putting up the same sadistic, dominant cruel face that her sister has, yet there is something different about her. This female is a wolf with ambitions. She wants, she needs to be Viscountess. Her sister is headstrong and psychotic and it's time for a change. In front of the pack, she keeps the same personality, cold and dominant so as to not give away her position and opinion. She is ranked high in Second Command but leads the Rebellion as well.

This is a wolf with a plan. Patience is key and she is willing to play the long game to get what she wants. Her ambition and leadership skills drive her to reach this point. Juno is calculating and intelligent, her moves are deliberate and well thought of. She is an observant creature so that allows her to make the appropriate call when she needs to. Her work with efficient and she is a very accomplished wolf for the high positions she has gained.

To describe her with the Pack this female is very dominant and sadistic like her sister. Willing to carry out her duties with ease. When carrying out orders to harm she puts on a look of pleasure as if she enjoys this aspect of her job. Though when it comes to socializing she is more opposite of her sister, she enjoys having a conversation with others or expressing emotion as long as it doesn't make her appear weak. Juno does keep her close social circle small, even if she does engage with others.

To describe her with the Rebellion you would see an opposite wolf. One with greater social traits. An optimistic wolf working to benefit the pack and not just its leaders. A confident leader. A Gentling being. One whose loyalty lies with the heart of the pack, and not with those who think they control it. These are her people. The rebellion. She is loyal to them.

Juno is one with obvious leadership qualities. She has been able to unit some of those in the pack for the greater good. She is also cautious. To give away her true identity would be fatal. Juno also does not want to raise suspicion, this female is not a fan of risk-taking. Juno can make good judgment calls, though when it comes to handling someone who might put her operation in jeopardy she tries to deal with it as best as she can. Warnings will come instead of direct physical punishment, she refuses to operate like her sister. However, a proven spy will be dealt with accordingly.

This female has already shown her strategic side, though is also good under pressure and a faster learner. This will allow her some advantage as the leader. Her temper is also quite even and she will hardly flare-up, it will take much to make her angry. The fastest way to flare her temper is to jeopardize the rebellion in any way.

No. The price for betraying Maeve would be his head, and he'd rather keep it as it is. Of course, if she starts weakening, or showing signs of losing her grip on the pack...well, he might have a scheme of his own.

Appearance:

(credit to HOTNStock on DA)

Shahbaz is a wolf on the smaller side, standing at only 29 inches. He's slight and unthreatening-looking in stature as well, with nothing much to intimidate. Small, with shorter legs in proportion to his body, and a fluffy tail, he's been called fox-like before, perhaps also owing to the russet tints in his coat. He has a narrow face with a relatively short muzzle. His fur is thick and dense, well-suited to the cold, and well-maintained in appearance.

The male, despite his lack of muscle and brute strength, is deceptively quick and fast. He's light on his paws, and- as his role would demand- is quite the silent stalker when he wants to be. Nobody quite knows how he perfected the art of moving without a single sound, but it's earned him a place of...well, not respect- but a sort of wariness, among the other members of the pack. Not that he could hold his own against the Viscountess or any wolf as strong if they decided to attack him- fighting is not a strength of his. He has an excellent sense of smell and hearing, though his eyesight is a little below average.

Shahbaz's coat is warm-toned, black fading into reddish brown, which in turn softens into an off-white shade. The black on his back is streaked with lighter fawn markings, and his ears are distinctly more russet than the rest of him. The male has the typical lighter marking on his cheeks, and it creeps up to over his eyes as well, forming miniature eyebrows. His tail continues the darker coloring of his back down to the tip, while the underside of it stays lighter. The fur on his chest often appears softer and downier than the rest, especially when it's ruffled from the cold.

His eyes are a mix between greyish green and dull amber. The shade changes depending on the light. The gaze that lies behind them is always infuriatingly knowing, flickering over people with a smugness that makes them uneasy. The male carries himself with an air of ...how would you describe it, assurance. A unhurried, complacent gait, as if he's on another, higher, level to the other members of the pack. He doesn't say anything, of course- but the message that he knows he's superior to them is clear just in his posture.

He doesn't have any large scars, but a few are particularly eye-catching. They are situated around his muzzle, deep gashes that have long since healed, but not faded. They were inflicted by no other than the Viscountess herself- for what, Shahbaz doesn't exactly remember- but he was young, and probably for some misstep.

Personality:

Ask any wolf in the pack their opinion of this male- the resounding answer would be a suck up.

Shahbaz hangs on to the Viscountess' every word, jumping to an order, grovelling and flattering. He agrees with her on everything, and it's more likely the sun would rise in the west rather than see him utter anything other than a "Yes, Viscountess" "Of course, Viscountess". She, of course, cares nothing for him and the rest of the pack, but that doesn't matter to Shahbaz. All he cares for is to stay on her 'good' side, and eventually work his way up; even if he must turn himself into a simpering fool. And as expected, the pack as a whole dislikes him because of his act, be they Loyal or Rebel.

To ask why, his first answer would be that it is his sheer loyalty and admiration for Maeve. Which is of course, bullshit. Nobody would take him for one of the poor bloodthirsty bastards that truly look up to the Viscountess.

Perhaps you would get him to chuckle patronizingly, reply that he's "just trying to live", but that's not true either, though it would satisfy some.

The real answer?

Power, of course. Beneath his annoying, greasy exterior, the male consists of sheer steely ambition.

He's not stupid, he knows that unrest in the pack is brewing, that there's some sort of plot against the Viscountess. And in this time, she relies more than ever on his job, on him. Why, it's only a matter of time until Maeve becomes suspicious of everyone. Paranoia is unavoidable as a leader, and even more so as a leader whose grip on the pack is only due to their fear of her. Soon enough, he'll be the one relied on, taken notice of, whose opinions matter. And soon enough, he'll be on top.

This male is dangerous.

He is someone with a cunning, logical mind, no moral compass, and a thirst for power. But his greatest asset: Patience.

He's been waiting in the shadows, slowly but surely working his way up from the bottom for so long, yet never once did he lose that cool composure, let the act slip. For so long, and now he's close, almost there. He has faith in himself, that he can hold through until the end. He knows his own strengths, and doesn't underestimate them, which is partly the reason for his success so far.

But he also has an ego. A large, ridiculously inflated ego. He assumes he's the smartest in the pack (no, he knows he's the smartest) and the sheer idea that someone could outmaneuver him, outthink him is ridiculous. It's not that it makes him reckless.. but we'll put it this way, the male had very little cautiousness in his nature to begin with. When he has a scheme, he throws his whole lot into it. Win, and he gets everything. Lose.. and he's done. But of course, he won't lose. He never does.

Shahbaz's tendency to look down on everybody else leads to him underestimating them.. well, all of the time. He doesn't need anyone, he doesn't need their miniscule little braincells trying to keep up with him. The male has never had a true connection with anyone, never stopped to get to know someone enough to realise that there might be something there to actually garner his respect because why would there be? What is there to respect, apart from intelligence? And he seriously doubts that anyone's intelligence could ever match his own.
