Dusti
Appearance
Race: Kelvic (Spotted Hyena)
Gender: Female
Age: 2
Birthday: 75th, Summer, 515.
Birthplace: Sunberth
Appearance (Human): Of average height for a human, she is five foot five and built with curves, though not always in the right places. Her diet can leave her awkward and boney or thicker and lush but it all depends on season or how work is going.
Unkempt with a laborious job and little finances it is clear Dusti pays little attention to her appearance. She's been know to wear shirts backwards, forget to wear parts of clothing and if she'd ever heard of a brush, it'd be a shock. Her dark curly hair is in forever in disarray, just as her mothers was.
Though dusky skinned the Kelvic always looks a shade darker given she isn't a frequent bather and prone to rolling in dirt in her animal form. And much like her animal form her face and body are little with spots or more aptly in human form, freckles. Her canines slightly sharper than the average, her nails too though that could be attributed to lack of grooming on her part.
A skittish young woman given her home city she is a predator, prone to sudden bursts of movement that accent her every day life. A constant twitchy paranoia mixed with the constant staring down of things she is interested in leave her face in a constant state of odd expressions along with odd walking patterns when she isn't lazing.
Appearance (Animal): Dog-like in appearance, in the dark Dusti could be mistaken for one until you get a proper look. Three feet at the withers, with a long neck and almost a mohawk down to mid-back. Though coarse guard hairs cover her back, underneath a slightly more plush golden fur lies with all of it covered in large dark spots. Her body stands with a slop, the dark hair at the tip of her tail always brushing her equally dark hocks. The oddest part of her Hyena form being the large, round mouse-like ears, constantly swiveling to listen for any noise.
Character Concept
Nature vs nurture leave Dusti at odds with herself. A social predator by nature she enjoys stalking, watching, lazing with her eyes and ears always nosing into whatever she likes. She craves company but junkyard and wild dogs hold little love for her, leaving her more scavenger than hunter. But the people of Sunberth hold no lost love for each other either, tight knit social circles or being on the edge and untrusted theres a constant need to watch your back, fend for yourself. It leaves Dusti skittish and prone to paranoia and while they say there is fight or flight, contrary to popular belief there are three responses: fight, flight or freeze. Unfortunately for the Kelvic her instinct after living in Sunberth is freeze though you couldn't quite call her a coward, you could definitely call her spineless unless forced into confrontation.
Like most raised in the city, she lies like a rug, owing allegiance to only herself and her family. She prays to no Gods or Goddess, having no patience to wait for their help when she can fix things herself. Along with deities she has no patience for numbers or school, trades of the streets with visual learning is all she cares for and all she needs to survive in her city.
Having watched her parents have successful bonds, Dusti longs for the same but fears she may never find it in a city like Sunberth. Her very nature, both Kelvic and animal wish for the company to soothe some of her lonelier days but she knows better than to wait for a knife in her back, unable to fully trust anyone. That is not to say she is not friendly, she is actually fairly gregarious but the final leap of faith is hard for her to make, leaving her social circle pathetically small.
Character History
Though Sunberth houses far from the friendliest, Arieal (Eagle) and Pips (Mouse) met each other before they even met their bondmates. Bound at the hip the quick and fierce courtship work well for them, both couriers they used their respective forms to get things done quickly and make a small name for themselves. Running out of their small apartment is how they found their bandmates, Erin and Ava.
The group met while the Kelvics were delivering their courting gifts to each other across town, beginning a strong friendship that ended with Erin and Ava moving in to the apartment next to theirs. Ava bonding with Arieal and Pips with Erin. From there the group was inseparable, and it was no surprise when the women became pregnant around the same time. Ava having a healthy baby boy and Pips having twins, a boy and girl.
Though originally christened with a different name Dustis' constant ability to be covered in dirt gave her the nickname Dusti, which she chose to keep as her name when she grew older. As a hyena Dusti was slow to mature, barely this arc being a fully grown adult while her bother, Birch (house cat), matured quickly and has long since moved out of their home to find his own path. So, although they look similar, the twins have hardly anything in common save their genetics, rarely interacting unless they accidentally cross paths.
Raised among other children, Dusti was always bossy, adventuring off on her own and having little patience for her parents bondmates son who couldn't mature as quickly as she could. It soon left her searching for friends throughout Sunberth but often coming up short, playmates not lasting long when she quickly outgrew them or they only were temporarily fascinated by her animal form. The three arcs flew by in this relative piece, with Dusti often helping her father as her mother grew too old to work. Soon, Pips will pass, leaving her bondmate, and husband long before either of them will be old and gray and having only managed to see her daughters maturity finally blossom. Life is looming forward with change quickly for the young Kelvic, soon to be on her own as an adult and without her mother, leaving her out of sorts and at a loss for what to do with herself, feeling things slipping through her fingers.
