NOELLE LAKIER
NAME. Noelle Lakier.
NICKNAME(S). Elle, but there's no real need for a nickname because her name is quite short in the first place.
AGE. Two years old.
SPECIES. Wolf.
BREED. Tundra.
GENDER. Female.
HEIGHT. 31"
WEIGHT. 74 lbs.
COAT. Titanium silver
EYE COLOUR. Turquoise blue.
NOTABLE MARKINGS. Here.
PHYSICAL. Noelle is a silph of a she-wolf, with a soft, silky pelt that isn't too fluffy, covering her lean, toned body. She was on the move a lot as a girl, moving from one place to the other. After all, she always had to be ready to relocate quickly in case the territory was owned by other wolves and they didn't like the idea of having secret tenants. She is neither completely grey or completely white, a pleasant mixture of both makes her fur a titanium silver hue all over her body, with no evident markings. This contrasts nicely against her eyes, which are a pleasant shade of turquoise blue. She is relatively narrow, and whilst her muzzle isn't abnormally pointy, she has long slender legs and a narrow waist and chest.
The way she holds herself, whether talking to a stranger or a close friend or family member, would tell others one defining factor that makes Noelle who she is. She is bold, and daring, and ensures that her opinions are heard. Her gait is swift and nimble, most likely because two of her specialties are stealth and precision, and her balance is almost impeccable. A vigilant girl, her senses of sight and hearing are the most finely tuned out of all five, however she is young, so none of her senses have faded with age. She doesn't normally submit to others - she's not in a pack, she has no alpha, so why should she cower before another just because they believe she should - but she will show them respect if they earn it.
At this current moment in time, she is underweight. In her defense, she has not been eating well recently, due to her worry for her brother and generally feeling sorry for herself. Once she has found good company, however, she will probably reach a more healthy weight of anything between 85 lbs - 90 lbs, something that will look more appropriate on her frame of 31" at the shoulder.

PERSONALITY. Noelle can come across as hard and cold, due to the emotion strain on her life. She never stayed in one place for long, being moved from one place to the other by her parents - and then later on, just her mother - as early as two weeks old. Sporting an awfully good poker face, Noelle is good at acting, but unless she is doing it for business she does not set out to intentionally deceive on first meetings. In fact, she is blunt, and will not hesitate and telling others 'how it is'. After all, what's the point in sugar coating the truth? She may seem a little tactless and harsh, but she has had to survive independently from an early age, and hasn't needed to cater for others or look out for them, it's always been about number one. Selfish? Perhaps, but it's the way she was raised to be.
Once she has gained an ally, she sees them as her responsibility, and will rarely act childish or immature because she didn't really have a childhood. She played nurse to her three younger siblings, being the most physically able, independent and maternally-inclined of the litter. She was more concerned about feeding her family than with being social, which explains why she doesn't exactly have 'people skills'. She is elusive, mysterious, and although she can be rather blunt and cold, she does have a vulnerable side. However, this vulnerable side is something she will only show around friends and family. She is a guarded individual, not wishing to show weakness around those she doesn't trust one hundred percent, just in case they use it to their advantage.
She is a 'survivalist', skilled in hunting, tracking and generally keeping herself out of sight to the point of being lethal in certain situations. The female is good at thinking outside the box, and has a strong sense of intuition. Noelle is very strong, in all senses of the word, as well as stubborn and determined. She will thoroughly think things through, only acting on impulse when action is required immediately. She will do anything to survive, which may make her seem a little ruthless, but she isn't bad, or particularly immoral. Even though she can sometimes be a bit self-centered and self-reliant, there are occasions where she shows a noble side, protecting those she loves. For example, caring and looking out for her siblings when their mother died. She will not walk on whilst another is being wrongly persecuted, and feels a strong instinct to defend those weaker than herself.

HISTORY. Noelle was born the eldest of a litter of four, to Uraine and Tasmine Lakier. Tasmine was the daughter of Jericho Fotelle, the leader of a well known gypsy clan in the area. Jericho did not appreciate Uraine 'stealing his daughter away', and the aging wolf believed that he did not truly love Tasmine. The pair left in the middle of the night, and in a rage, Jericho sent some younger and more able bodied wolves after them. Ever since, Tasmine was adamant that they had to keep moving as often as they could, lest her father and the rest of the clan find them and punish her for leaving as well as kill Uraine for 'corrupting' her.
The first time the pups were moved, they were two weeks of age. Ever since, they would hop from one cave site to the other. With the worry, Tasmine became sickly and her health decreased over the course of the four children growing up. When the pups reached four months old, Uraine disappeared during a hunting trip. Tasmine spent days waiting for her mate to come back, but she finally admitted defeat and moved on with the pups, feeling that they would be in danger if they stayed in the area where her mate was either killed or abducted. She worked tirelessly to keep her family fed, and despite being ill, she didn't stop. One night, when the pups were nine months old, she went to sleep and didn't wake up the next morning. Her immune system had finally given out and she'd succumbed to a mystery illness that Rafe, one of Noelle's brothers, also contracted.
Deciding to step up to the role - because she had no other option, really, as she was the eldest of the family and the second eldest was on deaths door - Noelle became the guardian figure to the rest of her siblings, leaving flowers by her mothers body before ushering the rest of the family away. Rafe slowly got better, and once he was well enough, he suggested that they try and find Uraine. Selene agreed, as she had always been particularly close with her father, but Noelle decided that it would be too dangerous to try and track him down, just in case he had been abducted or killed by the gypsy clan that their mother had been so scared of. Tasmine wouldn't of wanted her children to put themselves in danger, so Noelle decided to relocate the family as far away from their familiar territory as possible.
They spent months travelling, Rafe now as strong as ever and Noelle still at the head of the family. Nobody questioned her, as she was sensible and brave, and had accumulated an acute knowledge of survival. More specifically, what prey grazed where, where the nearest water source was, what plants not to eat and what wolves not to piss off. Generally, the little group of four stayed with each other and didn't fraternize with others, but one afternoon, a little time after the siblings had turned one, they met a young loner by the name of Quake. He was handsome and charming, and whilst Noelle had no time for relationships and didn't really see him anything more than a temporary ally, Selene took a real liking to him, and him to her. After a month, they announced that they were a couple and Selene asked for the blessing of both Noelle and her brothers, wishing to leave with Quake and start a family of her own. Whilst sad, the three complied, wishing their sister all the best. After another month, three became two as Pan found a pretty young she-wolf who belonged to a local pack, the daughter of one of their esteemed warriors, and after vying for his approval, the she-wolves father allowed Pan to begin courting his daughter. Three became two.
Rafe and Noelle traveled together as a pair up for another several months, and to make a more effective living they decided to offer their services to other wolves. No, nothing dodgy like that. More like... if a pack needed extra guards, or if someone wanted a pup sitter. Yes, they were only 'employed' by very trusting wolves at first, who gave them the benefit of the doubt... either that, or they were desperate. But soon enough, word spread, and they became reputable. One evening, Rafe abruptly suggested that he try and look for their father again. He believed that all the bother with the gypsy clan had died down now, and that he would go alone, and once he'd found him, they'd come and find her. Noelle disagreed with the idea, and she believed that that would be that. They went to bed, and the next morning he was gone. Beside her head was a little blue flower, her favourite. In the dust, Rafe had left a paw-print mark. Without even trying to look for him, she knew that he had gone. Angry and distressed, Noelle left the cave and moved on, wondering if she'd ever see her brother again. Now, she travels as a loner, but after growing up with three brothers she does miss having company, despite seeing 'off' during socializing, even at the best of times.
