Character Summary

With her world, family and pack lost to her via catastrophic means, one would think Sassaral's spirit to be broken indefinitely. Not the case. Though she misses her loved ones greatly and thinks herself (as a werewolf) to be alone in this world, Sassaral was raised to be strong and optimistic. Mind you, in the wake of a world and race's destruction.. optimism is a /pretty/ big order! Sassaral still has her sad moments; her points of reflection. But for the most part she does her very best to present an honest, sweet face to the world. Her loved ones would want her to do so.

To encounter Sassaral in the street is to happen upon a rather chipper, well-meaning girl. Given to laughing and crying openly and easily, she wears her heart upon her sleeve but shouldn't be mistaken as flimsy. Seen easily in the girl's eyes, there is much intelligence to be spoken for, and when faced with a task she tackles it gusto. This makes her a reliable presence when help is asked of her.

In the meantime, when the need arises in her, the self-sufficient Sassaral is given to travelling and exploring. At present she calls no city or town 'home'.

Personality Overview

Sassaral was raised to love and be loved. While her immediate family hadn't subscribed much to the art of magic, as a little girl Sassaral came into the influence of one of the pack elders and it had been through that werewolf that her seed of holy magic had been nurtured. The result of these years of training is a girl who absolutely, /positively/ strives to see the goodness in others /and/ do well by them. To those she outright cares for, whether peers or family, Sassaral exhibits an almost slavish devotion. She just cannot comprehend anyone (or thing) she cares about stumbling into 'hard times'. This could be both endearing or, to those who do not like to be coddled.. almost annoying. But, Sassaral means well.

Despite her need to people-please, Sassaral is a fairly confident girl. While her siblings (all missing and/or presumed dead) were more aloof and shy, it had been Sassaral who was always the first to step forward, to say hello.. etcetera. While not one to place much stock in conceit, Sassaral meanwhile knows that she is a healthy, vibrant girl and it shows in her every mannerism. She is in possession of a personality that can change from polite and calm to playfulness in a heartbeat. She is unafraid of indulging in the 'simple' things in life.. and when one isn't looking, nothing beats a run in the forest as a wolf.

She is very sociable, to boot... not one to hide away by herself, Sassral thrives in crowds and each and every person she meets -- be it a kind soul or otherwise -- is likened to an adventure. Coming from a group of beings who were both communal and pack orientated, it only makes sense that Sassaral longs for company. This is a good thing but, alternatively... somewhat bad. Sassaral, when devoid of contact with others for /too/ long, becomes skittish and upset.. almost desperate. That is just the wolf in her.

Still, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Sassaral feels things deeply, and sadness touches her to the very core. When she cannot 'ease the pain', whether physically or emotionally, the girl dwells upon it. To tell her an upsetting story is to, perhaps, leave her pondering and fretting for days after. As for anger, Sassaral /is/ capable of it, though this is the one emotion that she tries to keep at bay, at all costs. She wears her heart on her sleeve and will gladly laugh -- or cry -- freely.

But what, you ask, /does/ anger mean for this girl? Anger, felt as a hume, is a worrisome thing for Sassaral. She goes out of her way to not let people push her, but when things get grievous she has no choice but to tangibly address her anger and approach it via her.... 'other half'. Her 'wolf' form.

In direct contrast to her behavior as a hume, the wolfish Sassaral walks the line between civility and rage. Berserk status, or something akin to it, is never too far off and though she has control over herself in this form, it doesn't take much provoking to send her off the deep end. In this bipedal, hulking form Sassaral gives herself over well and wholly to rage.... and it is something that the girl tries to avoid, unless truly necessary. She does not like what she becomes... but to note, it is one of her very best defenses.

All-in-all, if one overlooks the other half of Sassaral's existence, she is simply a big-hearted, sweet girl who wants to make the best of her time in this world. She upholds the secretive mission of trying to track down any survivors of her family and clan.. but she's not holding her breath. A sad thought, but Sassaral tries her best to keep positive.
