At first glance, there's something about Jael that's... perhaps a bit off. Like she's not entirely a wolf, and that would be correct. Her mother was a border collie, something that lends itself to all aspects of the girl. Merle markings show up in her coat, diluting the different shades of brown where they wash.
Her lineage also lends itself to her smaller size. Though she's got a medium, athletic build, she doesn't stand very tall. Her stature is deceiving, as this creature is a powerhouse. She's densely muscled, though that remains well hidden beneath her plush coat. Jael's eyes are a steely grey, with an opalescent sheen. This is a girl with an intense stare, one that can go deep enough to be unsettling at best. Intense and expressive... her features are delicate but they lack softness. They lack warmth, much of the time. Ethereal, but ghostly. Stark. Haunting. Statues made of stone, but looking as if they'd be soft to the touch.

A girl is a gun
There are things that live in Jael's bones, things that are far deeper and far older than she is. Things that were put there by selective breeding. Things that are as ingrained in her very nature, in her psyche. Involuntary things. She's smart, bright. Quick. By the gods she is quick of wit and keen of eye. Observant, perhaps a bit reactive.
Sharp. Sharp and gritty and rough around the edges. Reserved with strangers. Slow to trust, but once you have it? Jael is loyal to the core.
A girl is a wound
She came into this world a wound. She came into this world with one purpose and one purpose entirely. Now that her task, her purpose has been ripped from her... Jael is the walking wounded. Though she hides it well, there's something in her that exists as an untreated wound. Something in her system has been deeply, incredibly damaged by failure. It's something that doesn't... feel good. It leaves her more volatile than she cares to admit. Too reactive. A trigger pulled, a bell than can't be un-rung.
A girl is god
She is strength. She is control. She is a carefully, finely tuned machine. Above all, Jael is holy. Holy and unholy, a balance of fire and something far, far worse. The balance hinges around a carefully maintained, carefully monitored code of ethics. She lives by that which she views as right, as holy, as just. Every action she takes, the rule of law plays out in her mind. It doesn't need to make sense to everyone, no. Just to her.
