❉personality❉

-alala is very wistful, often wishing for things that she inherently knows can't happen. and though that doesn't stop her from hoping, which has led her to become quite the optimist, and she can see the bright side to any situation. she has known from a young age that life wouldn't be kind nor fair to her, but that doesn't stop her from finding the light at the end of the tunnel, she always retains hope and always strives to make good decisions in the event that karma will help her get to the life that she wishes for.

-she is very friendly, not one to give the cold shoulder or to hold a grudge, making her seem more dog-like than wolf-like, not that it bothers her any. she will always be the first to greet a newcomer, and doesn't seek to hurt another animal, outside of prey of course, though she always tries to give her meals a quick and painless death with a little prayer to thank their soul for nourishing hers, and to send them to their final resting place easily. however, she does tend to trust too easily, and though she is a good judge of character, she may let superficial things gauge her perception of others, like if they are nice to look at, if they seem to have a great personality, if they are kind to her, she is more likely to allow them to run over her and take over.

-alala wants to be loved and appreciated for who she is versus what she appears to be. the fact that being a wolf subjects her to the stereotype that she is cold and aggressive and is constantly going after domesticated creatures because they are easier to catch than her fellow wild creatures. but she is not that at all, though she would go after a farmer's animal if she were hungry enough. but she envies the farm's dogs, they have meals and warm places to sleep at their disposal, and sure they are working animals, they still have all that guaranteed, they have the unfailing love and acceptance of their humans and their fellow animals, and she wants that.

-she is very active, it is almost impossible to catch her sitting around and not doing anything, she is always moving around and doing something. whether she is casually exploring or hunting, to just running so she can feel the wind in her pelt. she does have a thing about hanging around the farm, though it is rare to see her hunting the animals, she normally just likes to watch the animals and people down below, as she feels a bit of a connection with them.

-alala is more on the submissive end of the totem pole, she doesn't desire to fight any other creature, and tries to avoid conflict at all costs. if she is yelled or snapped at, she lowers her head and believes that she in fact deserves it. she is obedient and quiet and has learned that listening and following directions is easier than trying to fight every little order given to her. and though there are some that take advantage of that aspect of her, she doesn't always mind, having a strong leader really helps her focus and keeps her mind from going off into the clouds.

-she has a good head on her shoulders, the wolf understands a lot more than she lets on, and is always gathering new information. she is very intelligent and can remember different routines and happenings in the world around her, especially at the farm. she knows what time everyone wakes up, what happens when, and where the different animals will be at different times. she understands what the farm is about and knows that she is viewed as a good-for-nothing predator, especially by the newer creatures and humans that don't really know her, so she tries to show them that she is not a threat, which sometimes backfires.

❉appearance❉

-alala is about an average sized female grey wolf, standing at about thirty inches tall and weighing about seventy pounds, she has strong, powerful legs with evident muscle throughout her entire body. though she is tall like an average grey wolf, she is a bit of a light-weight for her height. though her fur makes her appear a bit bigger. she has a petite bone structure and appears to be quite delicate, and yet she holds herself with all the strength and dignity of a giant animal, per is her nature. she has evident muscle that matches her frame, and instead of making her look disproportionate with her small bone frame and strong muscle, the muscle is long and wiry, which matches her structure and doesn't take away any of her femininity.

-she has a beautiful, pristine snow-white base coat that is flecked over with silver fur that fades to a lighter color on her underbelly and lower legs. her pelt is thick and dense and it appears soft and fluffy to the touch, which it is, and there is scarcely any black on her, that color only appears on her nose, paw pads, and the outline of her eyes, everything else is just a dark gray. she keeps her pelt very clean as she feels claustrophobic and dirty when her pelt has anything in it.

-alala has beautiful pale amber colored eyes, and though they lack the intense sheen of the average wolf's eyes, their softness is a welcome change. they aren't excessively big or small for her face, as they seem to match perfectly with her conformation, but the spark of intelligence that she carries with her can be seen in their depths. her eyes aren't very expressive and they don't betray any of her hidden emotions, but they aren't stone cold, but rather always remain warm and inquisitive.

-there is not an ugly scar on her body, or at least not one her fur doesn't cover. the only lacerations on her can be seen on her legs, which are just little marks and nicks from her roughhousing when she was a pup. any other scar would have a hard time making its mark on her skin through her thick pelt. and even those few on her lower legs, are barely noticeable as the fur on and around them has grown up to conceal them from view.

"come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth"

❉other❉

-she was named 'alala' by one of the older workers on the farm that has seen her, and knows she is no threat to the farm itself. she gained that name because every day when they would retire to their homes for rest, she would howl to them, as if saying 'good night.'
