Basic Statistics

Name: Desdemona (pronounced des-DEE-mo-NAH)

Age: 43

Height: 5'10"

Eye Colour: Green

Hair Colour: Light brown

Hair Style: Desdemona's hair is always held up in some sort of twist or bun, as it usually gets in her way. Naturally wavy and shoulder-length, it frizzes annoyingly in the damp, and as such, Des keeps it out of the way, up on high.

Skin Colour: Fair Caucasian.

Feral Representation: Lycan

Fur Colour: Desdemona has a basic coat of light brown, with a white belly, chest and muzzle. She also has tan socks on her back legs that extend to her ankles, and her ears/lining of her eyes are also tan.

Fur Style: Thin and short, though soft to the touch.

Tattoos/Distinguishing Features: None

Build: Desdemona is relatively tall, and always had a slender body, until her later years and childbirth, she has sprouted hips -and with them stretchmarks, which always seem to bring her self-esteem down, despite having a handsome face. She is now a bit curvy, with a soft stomach and larger thighs and bottom than she would like, but overall has a classic 'Greek' figure, which she neither likes nor dislikes.

Speed: Desdemona is faster than she looks, and is light of foot, hardly making a sound when she walks -even if she's in a bit of a frumpy mood. She is overall rather graceful, a trait that has passed on to her children.

Strength: Des has the average strenght of a Lycan, which is definately more than a human at any rate, though she is not particularly strong for her status. She packs a punch, though, which would surprise an enemy to the point of distraction, to which she could give a final blow.

Jewellery: Desdemona still wears her engagement ring from her now-deceased fiancé Eric, which is a basic stone ring, carved with vines. She does wear a pair of studs made of stone in her earlobes, and also has a matching anklet on her left ankle.

Outfit/Weapons: Desdemona, now feeling her age, tends to cover up a bit, opting for long skirts and generally bare feet -though if she is going into town, will throw on a pair of jandals. Her tops are usually warm and comfortable, long-sleeved shirts and turtlenecks in winter, and men's shirts and somewhat fancier long-sleeves silk tops in summer. Her weapons would mainly be her teeth and claws, come down to a fight, though she might pick up melee objects such as knives and stones to surprise enemies with. All in all, however, Desdemona prefers the logic behind the fighting, and voices that brains are better than brawn.

Information: Desdemona is one of the Ngati Mate's remaining original members -her family having a long history with the clan. Tragically, her family was wiped out during the attack on the Ngati Mate, and she was left to grow up alone with the few members that were left alive. Practically raising herself, she has never had an easy time of anything, and was given a break when she fell in love with a Lycan who had recently joined the Ngati Mate, Eric. Soon, the pair were engaged, and set to marry.
At the age of 23 she bore Blair, and there was a short, peaceful interlude before the child seemed to provoke Desdemona's fiancé to such a point where he grew abusive. In her mind, being hit by a mate once was one time too many, and though she felt like this, she bent the rule for him -constantly giving him second chances. After a while, though, she began to despise herself for putting up with such humiliation, and it was precicely then that she spoke of her troubles to Hinapouri -who immediately had him cast out, never to be seen again. Desdemona's mind still moves back to Eric now and then, wondering how he died. She knew, of course, that the Alphas would never let someone just leave their new clan, and often muses over how they dispatched the man she had once loved. Two years went by without any sort of romance for Desdemona, and after deciding to date once again, she soon found herself pregnant -this time to a one-night-stand she had with a man she met in a club in Denver. Though she hung around that same club often, on the lookout for him, she never did see him again. Nine months after that brief affair she bore two daughters, twins. Shae and Shea seemed to share their father's passion for the dancefloor, and since the age of fifteen have also been ducking into nightclubs -much to their mother's behest. She constantly tells her daughters of the troubles such places can bring young women, and though she knows they have heard it many times before, can't seem to help herself from lecturing shortly before they go out each weekend.
Now as an accomplished member of the Ngati Mate, she is well-respected by all other members, and seen as a role-model despite her apparentsexual truancies and obvious lack of a mate.
