Profile
Few seem to know how this Werewolf girl came to serve the Shadow Lords, but she seems a loyal enough servant without the need of spells or manipulation to keep her on task. While diminutive in size, she makes up for it by being clever and quick. She's the sort of person that the Shadow Lords go to when they need something done quickly and quietly. Nevertheless, the girl has a temper, and despises those who mock her size or misjudge her strength. Both quick-fingered as a thief, and deceptively powerful as a wolf, this girl is the sort that can handle most tasks. Yet, with the Shadow Lord she once served having gone missing, the question lingers: will she be quite so loyal to a new set of masters, or will the wolf seek out her own dark path?

Background
Once, a long time ago, there had been a powerful pack of werewolves who roved the distant mountains. They say that a powerful child was born into the pack, destined to lead them to greatness. What they don't say is that there had been a runt of a child, born to the same parents, and seen as a great disgrace. The details have been lost in the haze of time and dark spells which have dulled those memories, but despite that, there is still one thing Hati remembers most clearly: Her father walking away, leaving her to die in the snow from injuries made by his claws.
That is where Serrak found her, still clinging to life even as night fell. The Shadow Lord had been drawn to the pack by the whispers of a boy with great power, yet somehow this girl caught his attention more-so. She already had the darkness in her heart that could easily be manipulated to his purposes. Better to take one cast-off girl, than fight the entire pack in order to acquire the boy. It took a while for her to recover from the injuries she suffered at her father's hands. A few months later, Hati sat before a mirror, looking at her human form with the notched ear, and her scarred eye with the color that didn't match the other across from it. Serrak had managed to save her sight, but she would forever be marked by the cruelty she'd suffered.
And yet, Serrak bade her to leave behind everything but the pain. It was his own sort of magic - the kind that subtlely pulled on those threads within her mind, making her forget. It was all too easy for a girl who wanted nothing more than to forget. Rather than being an unwanted runt, Hati trained to become stronger. She served the man who saved her, who took her in when no one else wanted her, and in time, as the memories faded, he came to be the only person she truly trusts. What lingers are faded memories of a boy who was kind to her, a mother's musical voice, and a wolf who she hated with every part of her soul. Darkness turned inward, Hati became a willing tool, having seen some of the worst that the worlds' had to offer.
While she might never become full size for a Werewolf, Hati learned how to channel the hatred and darkness within her, using it as a weapon more fierce than tooth and claw alone. Soon, other Shadow Lords began to use the girl for their errands, especially when they didn't want to get their hands dirty directly. It was after returning from one of these missions that Hati found Serrak's home empty. There was no sign of him, nor any note as to where he had gone. By now, though, Hati had become used to being alone. She knew the task her master wished - and she still had the other Shadow Lords to look to for guidance.
Personality
It is strange how one thing can mold the way a person becomes, but still doesn't quite define everything about who they are. Anger has been the tool that honed Hati into the woman she's become as an adult. She cannot stand those who look down on her, or otherwise mis-judge her strength or experience based on her size alone. Pride often drives her to show that she's just that much tougher than anyone gives her credit for. She's worked harder to prove herself than anyone else. She has a temper, and a tendency to lash out at people and react physically rather than trying to understand or talk through something. This is a girl who would rather have a 'discussion' in fists than with words. She tends to use what physical strength she has to her advantage, always trying to show that she is more than just some runt of a girl.
While Hati flat out refuses to be mistreated, and is not fool enough to be a simple thoughtless henchmen, she also has no interest in being a leader. Perhaps she might have been able to step up and be a full-fledged Shadow Lord, but even to this day, she prefers leaving those sort of decisions in the hands of others. She has a pack-like mentality, where she works to achieve the goals of the 'pack', but she will never take the position where she would have to lord over anyone. A lone wolf can choose who deserves their loyalty, but leader has to be responsible for the entire pack, and she doesn't want that sort of weight on her shoulders.
For the most part, Hati does not have a good grasp on more positive emotions. What fleeting bits of happiness she remembers from her childhood have been overshadowed by her experiences. She has bits and pieces that come to her now and then, but those brief moments seem like nothing compared to the cruelty she's witnessed in so many worlds. One of the few feelings she does understand is loyalty. It is one of those things that comes naturally to a wolf, even if it has been twisted slightly. More often than not, she feigns loyalty to those who she obeys, although her real loyalty is far harder to earn. With so few close ties, the girl is vulnerable to sinking into volatile states where anything done to those she cares about is met with raw vengence, regardless of the personal cost.
With wolfish instincts, Hati tends to be quite impulsive. She takes what she wants, without much thought to the consequences. With the spells that kept her from dealing with her past now waining, she's left confused, and often times more angry than not, without anyone help her deal with those darker impulses. She has a long way to go to understand empathy, or affection, but the girl isn't a completely lost cause. In her spare time, she tends seek out small-time challenges. This can be snatching food from a cart, or jewelry from a vendor. Some might mistake this for a form of kleptomania, but often times she sells the things she steals, or keeps them as reminders of places she's been. It's like having 'touchstones' to keep the past alive, especially when Serrak's power had dulled those memories.
Right now, Hati's goals are simple. She seeks to further the influence of the Heartless, just as her father had before her. In the mean time, though, she's keeping her ears and eyes open, trying to find out what could have happened to the Shadow Lord, and to find ways of allowing her allies to seize more power within the worlds. It is, afterall, what her father would have wanted. But what she hasn't figured out, just yet, is what she really wants.
Abilities
- Quick Fingers - Hati is an expert thief, which usually covers the arts of pick-pocketing, lock-picking, and other nefarious sort of skills. She's a master at slight of hand, and is extremely dexterous when in her humanoid form.
- Wall Dancer - Known in more common circles as 'parkour', Hati is an expert at being able to use her athleticism to move over large areas quite quickly. She can scale buildings by vaulting off of fire escapes, or use impossible hand-holds to swing herself out of the way of danger and slink into narrow spaces.
- Transformation - Like all of her kind, Hati can transform into a full-fledged wolf form when looking at a reflective surface, or at one of her own kind. Her werewolf form is far less dexterous than her humanoid one, and favors a stubborn, 'stand and fight' sort of mentality rather than her usual quick escapes. Hati's wolf-form appears as a wolf with white undertones, black markings along her back, and silvery guard-hairs.
- Darkness Control - Hati has spent years training herself on how to use the darkness and anger within her. She has the ability to control most minor Heartless, as well as utilize Dark Portals to get around between the worlds. She has no real magical ability, however. The way she wields darkness has just become so much part of her that it expresses itself even when she is in combat.
