A hitch, a yell, the shout and the poignant pain.
Ano'teros' tainted consciousness was gradually regained with effort. Duration and time would heal the poignant pain, grieved over the hours in desperation. Anger had yielded despair to her chagrin, suffering almost helplessly under these circumstances. Suffocating inevitably slow under the burden, the prediction to be doomed in this environment. Her ankle was aching, sore from the repetitively chafing metal shackle, scrubbing off the fur. Loose strands were covering the ground as her restraints had broken. Her leaking personality had lacked self control, consequently led to her burst out and so aggravated her condition. Captured in the forest, loneliness and danger present, sensing the close end. The sharp hitch on her paw made her shout accidentally loudly, revealing her location and so being an easy victim to all of the possible threats. The emotional crush had exposed her fragile side, uncontrollable ire, rampaging aggressively to free herself. Unsuccessfully. Exhaustion became discernible, her shape trembling with the contracting muscles, struggling to maintain balance and saving the remaining energy. Nervousness was marking her, permanently circling the trap, the chain rattling over the earth noisily. The darkness became overwhelming, vigorousness lacking as the act was extended irrevocably, trying to sever the chain with her fangs. Unsuccessfully.
Her white jagged teeth had stained the chain, biting continuously over it, tightening her jaw around it with full force. Unsuccessfully. Nothing succeeded, not a single method, no perspective offered a chance of survival, no matter how optimistically she tried to view it. Significantly she was desiring freedom, feeling how darkness approached further unrestrained, the casting shadows growing constantly and throwing a gloomy shroud over her. Huffs were expressed by her, seeking desperately ideas, frantically trying to conceive sophistication in a plan. Her slow steps shuffled over the surface, only rocks and pebbles surrounding her. Only those objects were present. Only. Rocks. Suddenly the idea seeped in and abruptly she grabbed a stone, craning her head quickly as her bleak gaze was pinned on her constraint. Agonized and pale she directed her head towards it, countenance stricken and rigorously. The rock was hitting against her fangs as she threw her head back and with all the energy she had reserved, she tossed the object against it. A loud crack was audible, echoing through the deafening forest and awakening certain animals, or rather, creatures unknown to her. The shackle was still present, clutched around her ankle but at least the trap was broken, having bound her to the ground for several hours, forced her to stay around this area, only allowing to walk in circles. A deep sigh of relief erupted from her chest, closing her eyes in suppression before staggering off. Off into the known direction, questioning if her absence was noticed. Days she had suffered, but finally, the misery had ended.
Personality/Main keywords to describe her: Ano'teros has two sides, multiple personalities.
'normal' Ano'teros : Mostly calm and taciturn, preferring organization to the chaos that could be caused if the hierarchy isn't controlled. Fears the day when her pack decides to banish her, in case her other side isn't tolerated anymore,consequently having to abide in the cold bitterness out of the pack. Despises jerks of all kind, detesting people's presences who spread conceitedness. She, herself may seem arrogant but is basically just controlled by the constant anxiousness of being discovered and banned. Can be childish, if demanded but hides this quality mostly, knowing as a Cardinal it wouldn't be clever. Otherwise her credibility in authority would be doubted, her superior position may be disapproved then. Hates also people who neglect their faith or tend to betrayal towards the pack. If not completely dedicated to their ranks and tasks, this person will never gain Ano'teros's sympathy and respect.
'Other' Ano'teros. This side is triggered in case of serious stress, can be caused when the pack's ranks are doubted or their general safety is lacking. Means, if the pack struggles, may it be food or betrayal by a member, this side creeps up. Pure aggression and ire rules this being, shouting and yelling then her normal tone. Tending to approach and interrupt personal space, continuously trying to intimidate this person. Anger is dedicated to everyone, spread uncontrollably, ignoring other one's agony in this case due to her need to eliminate everything that was threatening her composure or pack. This side is a great advantage in fights, considering merciless and reckless behavior but a serious problem when in pack. Desperately she tries to hide this aspect of her, which is not the easiest task.
Any special abilities : None, despite her body size. Fights are usually avoided until to the inevitably, but if her pack is menaced, she will be the first one in the battle.
Past:
Ano'teros was one of a 4 pups litter, chosen to be the Cardinal according to the tradition as being directly born after the Cardinal's death. Basically her parents raised her like any other pup, trying to influence her to feel responsible for each being on this earth, empathy was what they tried to teach. Fortunately their pup was sympathetic and interested in this topic, so learned fast and with enthusiasm. Her brothers and sisters had left the pack over the years, grasping and cherishing the hope of finding other packs in another land. Up to now, no one knows if they were able to survive or not. They had left the family when reaching adulthood and so left to the parent's chagrin. Consequently, as Ano was still a pup, they focused completely on her. All the effort and energy was shoved into her education, insisting on raising a Cardinal. Unfortunately Ano's perception considered the leave of her siblings as betrayal, having to see how her parents despaired on this matter. It had pushed the family into a real misery, hoping them to be alright but on the other hand knowing better. Ano had started to feel with them, adopting the depression and due to all of the pressure, it had led to a personality split. As soon as much stress emerges, especially when she senses betrayal, her other abnormal side scratches the surface.
After all, her pup hood could have been considered as normal. Despite the misfortune of her siblings.
