BASICS
AGE: Three

APPEARANCE: Salali is a wiry Red Wolf with slender legs and a streamlined body. She is mainly a ruddy red-orange color across her limbs with a salt and pepper coloring taking up most of her back, shoulders, neck and through her entire tail. The same color covers the upper half of her face, and her tail is tipped black. There is a patch of creamy white on her throat, as well as on her paws, underbelly and muzzle, where the top side is a bright copper color. Her entire coat is thicker than average with an almost plush texture, but is not long enough to curl or droop. Her eyes are a darker saffron color with flecks of brown. Overall, Salali is built for speed, agility, and for short distance sprints, not for the dangers of combat. All the while, she can put her teeth to use if required, her muzzle long and slender, perfect for shoving into a protected area and chomping down.
PERSONALITY
Salili has been the same bright, yet naive soul since she was a child. While respectful, her main manner of handling strong emotions is to chatter- be it with senseless words or information, to actual chattering and squeaking. Salali is also incredibly crafty and lives by the rule of resourcefulness- If it is within reach, she will try and find any use for it to get what she wants. Physically, she is fast, nimble, and she has an excellent memory.
Beyond the Dominors she initially encountered, she has met no other wolf living in Ravensbrück. She has a difficult time making friends, as she hasn't done so before, but over time she will become a very confident and compassionate adult regardless of her upbringing. Although she is socially awkward at the moment, her friendships are considered as close as family, and her ultimate dream is to either return to her family or build her own without fear. She approaches new situations with an odd combination of curiosity and caution, which could possibly get her in trouble if exposed to the wrong wolves.
FATHER: Wicasa
MOTHER: Adsila
SIBLINGS: Awinita
HISTORY
Salali was whelped first out of her litter. As a first time mother, Adsila struggled with the idea of losing her children at any cost. She raised her litter to believe that the world was a bright and happy place without any need to fear. Salali embraced her mother's words, growing into a bold young adult. Everything changed though at the dawn of their third year. Torrential rains plagued the land as floodwaters not only washed the fertile soil away, but drowned the prey as well.
With no end in sight, the family decided to travel from the lands of their birth to drier pastures. While crossing into the land of Ravensbrück, the small family was confronted by their first group Dominor. Outnumbered, it appeared at first that the family was doomed. They ran, at risk of punishment worse than capture, forlorn when the pursuit gave no release upon crossing back into unknown lands. When Salali's sister faltered and stumbled, she doubled back to give her time to run, but found herself unable to flee and save her sibling at the same time. To keep from splitting the rest of her family up and to give Awinita a means of escape, Salali stopped running and turned herself over to provide her family an easy escape.
