Name:
~ Zana SÍolanroch ~
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Pronouns: She/Her
Pack:
NightFang
-
Shifter Species:
Snow Leopard
-
Occupation (Human Life):
Park Ranger
Appearance:
-Human: A fierce yet graceful woman, Zana is a magnificent sight. A heart-shaped face with high cheekbones and lips with a noticeable cupid's bow. Her hair is a beautiful cascade of ashy platinum-blonde, wavy strands that reach the curve of her lower back, with smoky grey roots, which she often styles in a thick braid to keep it out of her face. Green eyes with golden flecks that catch in the light, shining with warmth and authority.
Zana stands at a surprising 5ft 9in and a hefty 155lbs, well built with lean muscles. A slender but curvy figure, with wide-set hips, broader shoulders, and thick thighs. She is quite pale, which sometimes makes her look sick, but that couldn't be further from the truth. A scar cuts across her right eye, obtained from a training accident, the skin dark pink and jagged. While a series of thin scar lines spiderwebbed over her forearms, often covered, she refused to speak about where they came from.
Her outfits are usually built around practicality and or comfort. Often seen wearing basic clothing in darker colors, standard blouses, and jeans with sneakers or worn work boots. Zana doesn't wear jewelry; in fact, she detests it; however, that doesn't apply to the one necklace she owns: a simple silver locket engraved with snowflowers, inside a picture of her mother and sister.
.
-Shifter Form: Zana's shifter form looks much like that of the natural counterparts at first glance. A dense and insulated coat of pale-gray fur, with dark, smoky rosettes of black, beige, and darker gray. Along with a lighter cream, almost white underbelly, and throat. Her thick tail is nearly as long as her body. With pale greenish-gold eyes.
But it's when you look at her size that the difference between her and the natural species becomes apparent. Standing about 3ft at the shoulder and nearly 8ft nose to tail, weighing in at around 330lbs. Yet she retains the stocky body, small ears, short nose, and large furred paws.
Personality:
Zana is a strong-willed, stubborn, but loyal woman. She has an unassuming air about her, yet the grace with which she carries herself is undeniable. A usually gentle-natured woman with a kind heart, yet Zana is incredibly fierce when needed. Being gentle and patient with kids or those younger than her, but often strict and unforgiving with adults. Especially when they make a mistake or threaten the safety of those she protects. She has a tendency to always be alert, scanning, and assessing for potential threats. Zana has difficulty relaxing, both from her nature and having been through some rough situations in her youth.
She has a tough exterior that is rarely fazed; however, she does a 180 around those who are under emotional distress. Showing compassion and empathy, while glaring daggers at whatever caused such pain and turmoil.
Zana's trust is not given easily, wary and guarded, it can take years before she will trust someone. But her loyalty to those few she trusts knows no bounds. Valuing respect highly, she is a person of honor, and when she gives her word for something, that word becomes her bond. On the flip side, Zana isn't a person who forgives easily, either. While she can be reasoned with, once trust is broken, it is rarely given again. Forgiveness must be earned, which often happens to be quite difficult.
{Something many don't know, but when she isn't busy looking after others, Zana can be found playing her guitar on the roof of the apartment she shares with her sister.}

Abilities:
Strengths -
- Endurance; both in part due to her own training, but also a trait inherited from her species. Zana takes a while to tire or overexert herself, being able to run for long distances or trek over difficult terrain with ease.
- Patience; while not always apparent, Zana is known by those close to her for being incredibly patient, being graceful enough in giving others multiple chances to get something right. While this does mostly apply to youngsters or those she's mentoring, there are a few adults who are given the same level of patience. Like her sister, who Zana has endless amounts of patience for.
- Cold Tolerance; Even when not in her shifter form, Zana has a high tolerance for colder temperatures. Rarely seen wearing anything heavier than a light jacket at most. Only in extreme conditions does she require more coverage; this does not apply to her shifter form.
Weaknesses -
- Overheating; due to her thicker skin and hair, Zana has a dislike for summer with good reason. She often finds it difficult to stay cool and hydrated in higher temperatures, sometimes being known to keep an ice pack on her during those times. At worst cases, showing the same symptoms as low blood sugar. Zana will also go out of her way to avoid shifting during summer heat waves.
- Stubborn; she isn't known for her willingness to change, being very difficult to change her mind to the point of yelling. Once she's made a decision or set her mind to something, it becomes next to impossible to sway her or change her mind without extensive conversation and proof.

Background:
Zana and her twin sister were born to a bonded pair of protectors from the NightFang pack, however it was not a joyous occasion. Their mother had not been in good health and sadly passed away due to complications.
It became apparent who was the favored between the twins; Zana was born bigger, stronger, and healthier. Their father wasted no time in making it clear that he only put effort into raising Zana.
As the eldest twin, born first, she received a good education and professional training. Yet she spent any of her free time caring for her sister, teaching her things her father and the caretakers didn't bother with. Despite all odds, the siblings were extremely close. Zana cherishes her sister and can't understand why their father didn't raise them as equals, and has had multiple arguments with him on the topic, to the point that she rarely speaks with him in adulthood.
Their childhood home had been on a quiet street, between an old library and a local park. Zana is a respected member within the pack and has been a contributing member of the protectors, a role she took at her father's pushing.

Name:
~ Vasia SÍolanroch ~
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Pronouns: She/Her
Pack:
NightFang
-
Shifter Species:
Snow Leopard
-
Occupation (Human Life):
Town Florist
Appearance:
-Human: Vasia has been frail since birth. Yet she still radiates beauty and grace despite her shorter stature of 5ft 1in. Often looking like she doesn't always eat enough, weighing only 115lbs, putting her slimmer for her age. Although her figure is well-proportioned and curvy. Very much the dainty and delicate flower she appears to be.
Soft, delicate, pale skin appears flawless as porcelain, hiding a series of scars on her back and a small snowflake birthmark behind her right ear. Bright sky-blue eyes like the clearest waters, high cheekbones, and a defined jaw, with a diamond-shaped face. Perfectly soft, plump lips often with a subtle gloss, matching the rosiness that covers her cheeks.
Her hair is a striking silvery white, long and silky, with a slight wave and curl at the ends. Often left down in gentle waves to rest at the small of her back. She takes great care to keep it from looking unkempt, despite the small stands that hang around her face, almost framing it. The white complements her light skin, making the supple pinks and reds of her blush/lips and faint makeup show just that extra bit more.
Her outfits are nothing special and often focus on comfort rather than standing out; she tries not to stand out as much as possible. Wearing simple sundresses in soft colors, or basic long skirts and blouses. Paired with flats or tiny wedge heels. Alywas with a silk scarf over her head to hide some of her unnaturally colored hair. Unlike her sister, however, Vasia enjoys wearing jewelry, almost exclusively silver. Having their mother's collection of silver and sapphire jewelry as her most prized possession.
.
-Shifter Form: Vasia's shifter form is a surprising contrast to their species' natural counterparts. A dense and insulated coat of soft white with smoky rosettes of mouse-gray and dove-gray. Her thick tail is as long as her body. With striking pale blue eyes.
But it's her size that makes her mistaken for the natural species. Standing just shy of 2ft at the shoulder and barely 6ft nose to tail, weighing in at around 75lbs. Yet she has a lean and slender body. Retraining only the small ears, short nose, and large furred paws.
Personality:
|| Gentle Mannered || Composed || Kind || Quiet || Easy-Going || Nervous || Shy/Timid || Introvert || Compasionate || Supportive || Self-Consious || Loyal || Reserved || Tidy ||
Vasia is a gentle soul, being soft spoken and kind-hearted. It's believed there isn't a mean bone in her body. She would sooner help someone than watch them suffer, regardless of who they were. Vasia is often quiet and keeps to herself, minding her own space so as not to get in the way. Being overly thoughtful of others' comfort, even before her own.
Vasia is easily discouraged by comments about her lack of ability, often shutting down entirely for the whole day. Despite her limited schooling, she is incredibly intelligent. Yet dislikes arguing with people even when she is right, feeling overwhelmed by the action.
She is almost incapable of holding a grudge. Has horrible social anxiety, which can lead to hyperventilation and panic attacks. She hates violence, going out of her way to avoid it, and often tries to hide when someone raises their voice in fear of being struck. Vasia also has Thalasphobia, and absolutely cannot handle large open bodies of water.

Likes;
- Rain
- Sitting in Nature
- Spring Flowers
Dislikes;
- Loud Noises/Screaming
- Fire
- Seeing People Get Hurt
Abilities:
Strengths -
- Stealth; light on her feet and naturally careful movements make her surprisingly adept at moving with little to no sound, something her sister loves and hates.
- Cold Tolerance; naturally resistant to low to freezing temperatures. While not as strong as her sister's, Vasia can still handle cold fairly well. Although she often adds layers just in case.
Weaknesses -
- Heat Intolerance; she cannot handle temperatures exceeding a certain temperature without external aid to keep her cool, overheating easily. Often spending entire summers inside with air conditioning.
- Weak Constitution; with a frail body, Vasia is very often at risk of overexerting herself to the point of collapse. This impacts her strength, her endurance, and her general durability.

Background:
Vasia was born small and weak, and needed to spend the first few weeks in the NICU, along with regular check-ups, until she turned 8. Her father had seen her frail body and had never bothered to try, often dumping her care onto others, including her sister. Vasia spent most of her childhood either hiding in her room or in the care of those who couldn't stand to see her left alone. It wasn't a bad life exactly; she had her sister and a few adults who expressed care for her. The only thing missing was her father, and for the longest time, she thought that if she tried harder, he'd pay attention to her. That she was the problem.
That was, at least until her 16th birthday, when everything changed. She got her first vision, and it put her in the hospital for a week. The vision hadn't been much, just a store down the street catching fire while no one was inside. But when she came home, her father had looked down at her with disgust so potent that Vasia had thought he would end her. He didn't, but he stopped providing. She only ate because her sister always shared or found ways to get her food. He tried multiple times to drop her at the Neutral Circle, but they refused to take her. His disdain for her only seemed to grow through the years, often calling her useless, a failure, among a few names.
Vasia has stayed close to her sister Zana, as the only person she feels she can truly trust and depend on. She barely remembers their childhood home, only remembering the apartment her sister got at 18, which they still live in. Now she lives quietly, keeping to herself and running the small flower shop as her one passion.
Vasia is a Seer for the NightFang Pack, yet her father has done everything he could to tarnish that reputation, claiming she often lies about what she sees. So Vasia often only tells her sister or just ends up keeping it to herself, even when it weighs heavily.
