- Appearance
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 115 lbs.
Hair: Straight, pitch black hair cut to shoulder-length and styled in a tomboy cut. Her bangs are side-swept to the left to cover her left eye and a large cut that travels over most of the left of her face.
Eyes: Silver
Body: If there was an apocalyptic event where everyone had to fend for themselves or die, Roxii is the one that most would think would be one of the first to fall prey to "survival of the fittest." Despite weighing at about 115 pounds and at an embarrassingly short height of 5'3", though, she can prove others wrong fairly quickly. Her small build has just enough muscle to take down a grown man when necessary, and her modest body structure allows her to move quickly and easily.
Attire: She usually wears thrashed jeans, a tank top, and a hooded jacket.
Her fair, ghostly pale complexion is completely littered with scars: on her back, her abdomen and stomach, her face, and her thighs and arms. The most prominent—and most painful—ones are the large gash going along her back horizontally, about eight inches long and almost an inch wide, and the laceration on her face stretching along from just below the hairline above her right eye and down diagonally across her left eye and into her left cheek, stopping just before her jawline. The cut on her face damaged her left eye permanently, although not completely, which is quite amazing. However, because of this wound, her sense of sight has been reduced significantly, thus causing her to rely on her sense of hearing more.
Due to her secretive nature, she hides this large cut as best as she can with the side-swept bangs of her silky, straight black hair that's almost as dark as a starless, new moon night. Roxii's hair used to reach down to her lower back, but, due to past experiences, she cut it to a shoulder-length tomboy style. If it weren't for her feminine body, she would be mistaken for a male because of her masculine facial features: a fairly strong, defined jawline and rough skin. However, her femininity is shown by her duchess nose and upturned, almond-shaped eyes with unusual silver irises. A mysterious character, her lips are constantly set in a stoic flat line of silence, bottling up all of her thoughts and secrets.
Roxii's wolf form reflects her human form, camouflaging in the shadows with her pitch black fur and terrifying her prey with her—almost glowing—silver eyes. Much like her human form, she's a very small wolf, especially for a werewolf; her 2'10" height can make it easy to mistake her as a normal wolf.
- Personality
Roxii is a mysterious, secretive character that is not to be dealt with. Despite her weak appearance, most strangers have been intimidated by her behaviour, reaching the conclusion that she in not one to be dealt with. However, there is the occasional arrogant person, both males and females, that tests her. For the most part, she keeps her composure, attempting to avoid any conflict. Unfortunately, much like a cornered animal, she can lose her temper and is not one to mess with when that beast is unleashed. Roxii has a strong mental state that allows her to, usually, though not always, control when she can shift. But, like any other living being, she can't always control her temper.
- History
Living her beginning years in a seemingly normal country house in Celina, TX, Roxii was the respectful, caring daughter that most parents only dreamt of. The only offspring of Nyx and Rowan Sicarius, her and her parents lived a simple life, along with the house-maiden whom her father had hired to take care of Roxii and the house while her parents were at work, which was most of the time.
Her parents, however, lived a life of secrecy. Working with a group called the Umbra Resistentia, The Shadow Resistance, they sought to protect their werewolf kind fromvenatores, the hunters. In fact, they led the entire group, leaving for long periods of time to set out with other werewolves and assassinate any venatores they could find, derived from the family name "Sicarius", which means "assassin". This was kept secret from everyone, including their daughter, and this mistake is what would lead to their family's demise. But Rowan and Nyx knew that Roxii had to learn how to defend herself, so they taught her some hand-to-hand combat skills, how to handle a knife, and how to do archery, getting her used to both the crossbow and the standard hunting bow.
Roxii's childhood was much like that of a regular human's, especially since her parents withheld the information of her own power from her, leaving her to be completely oblivious to the wolf blood coursing through her veins. She lived a version of a normal school life: had a few friends in elementary, hated middle school and started being bullied, fell into depression by freshman year of high school and began self harming. The stress on her parents was almost overwhelming, but they managed.
However, things aren't always going to be perfect.
One day, while 15-year-old Roxii was cooped up in her room, the house-maiden was cooking dinner, and the parents were relaxing in the living room, the front door slammed open. There wasn't even time for a reaction. A single chocolate brown-skinned man strode in through the doorway with a revolver, shooting three silver bullets in quick succession: one through each adult's skull. Roxii was startled and stumbled only to see her massacred family. She gazed up at her family's murderer and was overcome with rage and grief. That was her first transformation. Pain. Immense pain. But she didn't care; her family was brutally murdered within her own home. And this man was going to pay.
The man aimed his revolver at Roxii, and she charged at him with teeth bared and eyes ablaze with anger. But a shot to the shoulder slowed her down. The silver bullet burned inside of her as she attempted to scream in pain, which only came out as a yelp. Roxii continued moving and side-stepped the man, running out the door and across the fields to the shed, where she involuntarily shifted and retrieved her hunting bow and a quiver of arrows. Then she disappeared into the nearby forest.
The venatores chased her down as she tried her best to evade him, changing her name and stopping only in remote towns and sleeping in abandoned alleys or other dark areas, which is where she got into a plethora of brawls and earned many of her scars, but the worst ones were earned from the murderer. She moved around only at nighttime since humans were afraid of her carrying around a weapon. She hardly thought about the day her parents died and why she changed and how. Thinking back on it only made her more confused and eventually gave her a killer headache. She hoped she'd find someone to answer all of her questions, and she hoped she'd find it here: in Ashton. But for now, she ought to stay low and hide in the nearby forest.
- Equipment
She mainly uses a hunting bow and a pocket knife, but she knows how to use a pistol for whenever the situation calls for it.
- Skills
Her physical strengths are few. Her lack of muscle only allows her to be able to do defensive moves and, when under pressure or an adrenaline rush, can usually take down someone three times as large as her. With her background, she knows how to handle a bow and a crossbow fairly well and can handle small knives and daggers. She can control her emotions fairly well and even bottles them up. Her lack of communication with others is her greatest advantage; the confidentiality it offers is highly valued by her. Luckily, she is entirely fluent in Latin, French, and Russian, so, when need be, she can speak other languages when necessary.
Her lack of speaking, however, is also one of her greatest downfalls. Paranoia, fear, and distrust of others can leave her vulnerable. And her aforementioned body structure is quite the issue, making her not as physically strong as she'd like.
