Description

Hishu

A lean Caucasian woman in her late 20s with sea-water green eyes, dark brown hair cut lesbian short, thick eyebrows, and lightly tanned skin. She wears heavy boots, tight black t-shirts that show off her breasts, a khaki jacket, and loose slacks. A shard of bone on a thong around her neck is her cult talisman and her knife is well-concealed in a sheath in her jacket.

Urhan

A lean dark brown wolf with black fur beneath both eyes and around its muzzle.

Storytelling Hints

Maia is quiet, intense, and very physical. She is also fanatical and unwaveringly loyal to her pack. She would lay down her life for her father or aunt in a moment, without hesitation. She spends all of her spare time hunting and exercising herself in her many forms. She is well on her way to Harmony 10.

Background

Maia was the middle of seven children born to Stan Kuchinskaya and his human wife and the only one to change. Since she was a small girl, she's always been quiet, stern, and stubborn. She got in a lot of fights with other children who made fun of her or picked on her siblings because of their heritage and her father was proud of her spirit. She married a former Spetsnaz defector twice her age when she was eighteen, their rocky marriage lasting only two years before she put him in the hospital after she learned he was cheating on her. She First Changed not long afterwards. She now serves as the pack's primary combatant and scout. Her dedication to the religion of her father and aunt is unwavering. It was the first thing in her life that made sense to her. She is similarly devout with respect to the cult but has refused to join the Fevered Light Lodge, seeing it as debased. She sees the Pure as just that and takes the Oath of Ur-Farah very seriously. She hunts in the Presidio, refusing to eat food made by human hands, leaving her lean but healthy.
