Personality
  • Enjoys being outside and away from people, but also yearns to be around others
  • Makes anachronistic pop culture references; she's out of the loop but trying her best
  • Particularly put off by certain kinds of ambitious people
  • Dislikes "fast-paced modern life" and misses a few things about the old days
  • Dry sense of humor

Active Abilities
Werewolf Shifting Malina can shapeshift into a large, muscular werewolf form. She becomes roughly twice as strong, and substantially faster, able to run at a sustained 45 mph. She has keener senses in this form. She also has large claws and a set of sharp teeth.

She can achieve this form whenever she wants, but the change will happen involuntarily if the full moon is out or if something scares her enough. While in this form, her impulse control is inhibited, and certain instincts have a lot more control over her behavior than usual. This is especially true of changes brought on by the moon.

Malina can also shapeshift into a large wolf.
Hoverbike Malina has a high tech anti-gravity "bike." It barely makes a sound when it's running, and it can fly just high enough to go over the treeline in most parts of the forbidden forest. It also comes equipped with onboard sensors that can be used to detect "human-like creatures" (which can include most sufficiently large mammals) or "unusual magical disturbances" (which can include all kinds of things).

Malina has enough power cells to keep this thing running for over a century. She also has a bracelet which she can use to issue it commands remotely - usually to either call it to her location or to send it home

Passive Abilities
Lupine Senses Malina has a much more sensitive nose than a natural human, allowing her to notice things through scent that a human would completely miss. Her hearing is also more sensitive, and can detect frequencies the human ear typically cannot.
Werewolf Physique Malina's strength is around one-and-a-half times peak human ability. She can run up to a sustained 35 mph. Both of these improve dramatically in her werewolf form.
Immortality Malina doesn't age anymore. She can also not be killed through typical means. Limbs will regrow in days and body will regrow in weeks if not reintroduced to the head. Limbs and head can be reattached and healed within hours but she can't control them until it is healed. Only with pure silver are they permanently removed.
weaknesses
Silver If Malina comes in contact with pure silver it will burn her flesh. Destruction of her heart, decapitation, or destruction of her brain through use of silver is the only way to truly kill her.

biography
Malina was born into an ancient European werewolf pack. Her father was the current alpha of the pack, and her mother was a woman he had turned into a werewolf in the 1600s. She was the youngest of 6 siblings, the oldest of whom was over a century older than her. The pack participated in human society to a degree, but they mainly kept to themselves to keep their community's true nature hidden. Malina has lived through both world wars, and has seen friends die in them.

She was in her mid 30s when she recognized she would rather be seen as a woman than as a man. Her choice to express this and to act on it was controversial. This was not unheard of, as many of the oldest in the pack had heard of such things over their centuries of life. While some were supportive of her choices, others, including her parents, were not This marked the beginning of a new era in her relationship with her parents. Malina's father saw her attempts to be recognized as a woman as a blemish on his reputation. Malina's parents' attempts to pressure her into quitting only made her angry, and over the years the pressure escalated. Eventually, the pressure had become not only open and public, but also spiteful. Considering her father's social sway as the Alpha, this led to an extremely toxic environment for her. She tolerated this abuse for many years before finally leaving to live on her own.

In the late 1990s, she stumbled into the area of a territorial rival pack during a full moon. Several of that pack's younger members attacked her in a public park. They left her mangled, barely-conscious (but human-shaped) body to be found by a jogger. Her trip to the hospital put her on the scouts' radar. Soon, she had the opportunity to immigrate to Manta Carlos. She took that opportunity in the early 2000s.

On the island, she went to school for a few years and became a forest ranger. She has been working as one for fifteen years.

resources
Lives in a small house near the edge of the forbidden forest. Has a salary working as a forest ranger, and a decently-sized investment fund from her life before the island. She also owns a fancy hoverbike.

additional info
Portions of the ability section were borrowed from Stefan's character Tasha with permission.

The hoverbike was a gift from a friend who used to live on the island, who pitied her commutes into the city. Said commutes involved traveling a couple of miles on foot to the nearest bus stop, which was in the far end of the agricultural district and only rarely visited by busses.

Her transition on the island included a magical enchantment that precludes the need for her to take hormones. This enchantment is subtle, but can be detected by some.
