Hanako

Hanako is a bit of an oddity. Unlike her parents who were a pair of albinos, her coat is dappled with an array of colours, similar to the markings of a koi fish. Orange, black, brown and pink splodges run down the length of her form from her snout to her toes in a messy, yet elegant design. Like her mother she has a pretty face, with soft edges and a boxy snout; all rounded out with a pair of glassy blue eyes that are not nearly as cold as they first appear. Her nose and paw pads are a soft pink and susceptible to sunburn, a fact she quite often forgets. Hanako often wears a soft, demure smile that doesn't always reach her eyes; the result of being told one too many times to "just smile and look pretty" by her keepers.

As a yearling she still has some growing to do, but by the time she's done Hanako will be tall and lithesome, with long legs and a slim womanly frame. At a glance it's obvious she isn't a fighter and nor will she ever be, her skin is free of scars and blemishes and her fur is groomed to perfection. Or as close as Hanako can get anyway. As she was trained to do, Hanako carries herself like nobility, harmless and dainty, with a clean and measured stride. When in the company of others her tail rarely keeps still, wagging and swaying as if she couldn't be happier. But when she's alone her body language is far more subdued, almost neutral. Somewhat proving that it's not in her nature to be so happy go lucky.

In all, she's quite the babe.

Hanako is a people person, or at least she pretends to be. She makes a big show of being all friendly and approachable, when in reality she's actually a bit of an introvert. As easy as it seems this act does not come naturally to her. Rather she was taken at a young age and was groomed and trained until she became the perfect social butterfly. Whether she realises it or not, Hanako has a habit of adapting her personality to those around her. Be it bouncy and bubbly or quiet and submissive, no role is off limits. Despite how manipulative it may seem Hanako only acts this way because she seeks approval, she wants to be loved and liked and will do whatever she can to achieve that goal. Even if it means pretending to be someone she isn't.

Since she's had such a sheltered upbringing Hanako is a bit of a pushover and very easy to manipulate. It's not that she can't think for herself, she simply believes that those thoughts aren't important in the grand scheme of things. That fate will be her guide and she simply has to follow the path laid out for her.

Despite the fact she knows little of freedom, Hanako was well taken care of and as a result comes across as rather spoiled and perhaps a little snooty. Having never worked a day in her life she is inexperienced when it comes to general wolf things, such as hunting and fighting. At first she seems a bit unwilling to learn but give her some time and some patience and she'll come around.

Overall, she's a good girl who doesn't really know who she is yet.
