Appearance:
Kana is a rusty red wolf known for her rainbow of warm colors. Her eyes are a calm orange-yellow and her nose is a light liver. All the tones of her coat blend smoothly, changing her fur color ever so slightly in each lighting. Her muzzle is a creamy peach color, mirroring the end of her tail. Yet her paws are an orange that's just barely natural looking. Her fur is thin and shorter than the average wolf, making it easier to slip through small spaces and granting much less maintenance. Kana's physique is small and seemingly frail. Paired with her relatively young age and her small size, many could mistake her for a wolf just barely out of adolescence. Often, she stands at the jaw of the wolves around her, and even at the shoulder of larger sized canines. Although she looks frail and week, you mustn't underestimate her. Sarkana's smooth fur hides her lean muscular build, she packs quite a punch for her size. She's built for agility, her strong yet small figure being able to slither into anywhere she pleases. Her overall appearance seems inviting and warming, despite her personality.
Personality:
Kana was specifically trained for this position since she was a pup, and so her outward personality is far from inviting. She's very uptight about things, often glaring and scoffing at her sentinels. On the inside, she is a caring wolf, she just lacks the understanding of how to show it. She wasn't raised with much empathy. Her love is shown through her discipline, she only gets aggravated because she cares for them. Sarkana tends to bottle her emotions up, to keep her stone cold persona going. This isn't at all healthy, and occasionally she has a triggered panic attack, though she'd never let her pack see it. Often, she'll dissappear for a bit and return when she's calmed down. Due to her lack of a partner or anyone relatively close to family, she doesn't have anyone to confide to. Kana has always been emotionally unavailable to her pack and is practically alone. Her days seem to repeat over and over, her job being the only aspect of her life. Over the years, her emotions have only gotten more unstable, often lashing out on her sentinels, and having her panic attacks more often at smaller triggers. She stays in her den most of the day, it's small and dark, secluding from most of the pack. When she's not working, she's practically manic, switching from laughing to sobbing within seconds.

Increased Ability:
Speed/Agility
Her already natural agility and figure built for speed was enhanced by the unique power. She's light weight and can run faster than most if not all of her packmates. Kana can think and move quickly, confusing enemies and making easy escapes. She's fast on her paws, turning in mere seconds before her foes can react, and in many cases it may cost their life. Her enhanced agility allows her to dodge attacks and maneuver around opponents. Although she isn't very large, nor excessively strong, she's not an easy wolf to beat.

Enhanced Stealth
Sarkanas ability to control even her smallest movements creates a perfect form for stealth. She moves nearly silently on her paws, and her small figure allows her to sneak low to the ground and avoid being seen. Nothing is more terrifying than a threat you didn't even know was there. Combined with her speed and agility, she can move quickly and with little to no noise, making it seem like she's almost teleporting around her enemies. Her skillset is perfect for surprise attacks and information gathering.
Power(s) that will be gained:
Fire Fur
Sarkana, known later as The Flame of the Valley, gains the ability to light on fire, and even control it. At first, she can't control it whatsoever, and upon discovering her abilities, lights herself on fire, permanently charring much of her fur. Though it regained it's smoothness, the black color never fades. Her fire comes at times of high emotion, often during her panic attacks or when she lashes out at her sentinels. Although she learns how to stop it from burning her, she's unable to put the fire out until she's calmed down. In smaller amounts, she can spark up as a warning. For example, if someone is out of line, she could shoot up a bit of fire in her tail as a reminder of what she can do. When she's calm, she isn't able to completely light up, but she can create little fires. By biting on something or stamping her paw to it, with the intention of starting a fire, she can create a spark to light it. On the other hand, she can't control fire that spreads from her, and so there's a high chance it could start a forest fire.

Infrared Vision
Complimenting her increased stealth, she gained heat based vision. Unlike her hard to control fire fur, her heat vision was easy to learn and use. Similar to a dormant muscle, she can choose when she wants to use it and when she rests, sees normally. It's most useful in the night, when it's harder to see things, she can use it to see the heat signature. This assists her in seeing targets that blend in or are far off. Although it's not an extreme ability, it has more practical uses than many others.
Backstory:
Sarkana lacked much of a family growing up, she was outcasted from her birth pack for her small size. The pack was ruthless and only wanted the best of the best, anyone that didn't fit their standards meant nothing to them. As the runt of the litter, she brought no power to her pack. Kana found a home with the Ascendant Valley Pack, and was trained, not raised, by the previous alphas. She went through constant training for both defense and offense, being specifically brought up to lead the sentinels of the pack. Though they were her closest thing to family, they were never emotionally there for her and neglected her in that sense.
Appearance after power gain:
The moment she gained her powers, Sarkana lit up in flames. The shewolf was in shock and didn't know how to calm the fire, letting it bite at her fur. When she had calmed herself and the fire settled, her fur was darkened in many places, permanently. Her eyes were a bright red, glowing in the dark like the fire she held inside. On her shoulder was a brand of fire, marking her as the flame.
