Name: Wolfmother
*Note: Yes, this is her Summon's formerly NPC form. When Wolfmother is not Summoned into battle as the Wolfwoman or the Elfin forms, then this is the new default.
Age: Millennia of experience, physical maturity.
Race/Species: Shapeshifting Wolf
Element:
Primary: Light
Secondary: Non-Elemental
Weakness: Darkness
Personality: Timmain Wolfmother is the utter definition of "maternal instincts" given form. She is normally the epitome of calm and grace and patience with the cubs around her, but should her children be threatened then she becomes utterly ruthless and bloodthirsty. She is loyal to Tiraleen and exceptionally fond of Mairi and Martika as well. Though she has been known to expand her definitions of just which people are *her* children if she feels particularly maternal that moment.
Fighting Style: The Wolfmother has sharp teeth, strong jaws, and claws on all four feet. When she fights she goes for the throat, or the belly, or if she's got assistance, for the hamstrings to cripple an opponent before going for a kill. There is no "fighting fair" to a wolf, there is only survival and the defense of the cubs. While she cannot use actual Magical attacks as she can when Summoned, her melee attacks while in Wolf form are infused with Non-Elemental or Light Elemental energies as she chooses, though it takes a single post to change the associated element. She has the ability to shapeshift, since that is more an innate ability than an actual magical spell that would need the infusion of Summoning to unlock, but she doesn't use it in battle because she's more comfortable with her teeth and claws.
Description: The Wolfmother stands about as tall at the shoulder as the average Selkie, who average about as tall as most standard Genomes and a smidge taller than Clavats. The top of her head would be about at human height since the other races are notably smaller than humans. (If you question me, take a look at Dissidia shots of Zidane standing next to Squall.) Her fur is stark white, the white of the stars, and she carries herself with a timeless grace and wisdom. Her eyes are amber golden. She is, in fact, telepathic and can make herself heard by just about anyone who does not make an effort to block her out. Since she is so large, Wolfmother also serves as Tira's Mount. (Yes, I am aware that I am using three slots for the same being and that this is limiting for my character, but it also allows for a flexibility without juggling huge numbers of characters and that is why I'm doing this.)
History: Timmain's people once roamed the stars in a vessel formed of the very soil of their exhausted planet. She was their Memory, remembering where they had been so that they could chart the path forward. After thousands and thousands of years that vessel came to a rest on a tiny two-mooned world where Timmain chose to remain in the form of a Wolf. While in this form she found Tiraleen on a strange world, broken and shattered and in dire need of a protector. She chose to bind herself to the remnant of a warrior girl because this child needed her more than she needed freedom.
