Eyes: Hazel
Personality: A southern girl by nature, Justine is loud and proud. She's not afraid to put her opinions out there, and is rarely shy around other people. Although she can be a little on the annoying side to those sorts of people that like their peace and quiet, Justine attracts people who like the wilder side of life. She enjoys everything she does, from the mundane to the monumental. She appreciates the beauty of the outdoors, and can sit for hours in a forest or park studying things around her. She loves things like four-wheeling, horseback riding, and hiking. An advocate for peace, she has been spotted every now and again at protests around the country. A very wise person, she gives advice to those that need it (or those people she thinks need it, whether they want it or not), and will never turn someone away who asks for her help. History: Born in Houston, Texas on a horse ranch that her grandparents owned, Justine was brought up in the traditional country lifestyle- up early in the morning to tend to the animals, then wash up and into the kitchen for breakfast before school. Her parents were very firm that she act like a proper lady, and would correct her at every turn, even from a very young age. They instilled in her the competitive spirit that pushed her to the top of her classes in school, even as early as elementary school. When she was five, Justine was allowed to ride her very first horse, a young quarter horse. She had an instant knack for it, and even outrode her dad, who was considered one of the very best horse handlers. Friends came easy to her, and at school she let loose and acted like a normal child. She would play until she was covered from head to toe in dirt, push the boys down just as much as they pushed her, and wrestle with the best of them. But of course, she never, ever would have let either parent see her doing it. She was always an avid reader, and when she wasn't doing chores or homework, she had her nose in a book, although her mother didn't approve. High school was a breeze, although it was made hard because her father wouldn't allow her to see any boys, even though an offer came at least once a week. So she dedicated herself to school, and before she knew it, she was graduating valedictorian of her class, with a full-paid scholarship to college. She decided to just find any kind of job she could get at the time and just experience life as an adult for a while. She moved away from her parents, even though she remained within the same town, and worked as a waitress for three years. When she was twenty-two, she met a nice young man who stole her heart. He made her quit her job and work at home, and to outsider's eyes they looked perfectly happy together. But behind closed doors, she was an abuse victim. He beat her at least once a week, and she put up with it for two years, then she simply disappeared. She turned back up in New Orleans, applied for school there to began the nursing program. She got herself an apartment with the aid of her parents on the waterfront, and is now looking for work, preferrably as a waitress, although school takes up a lot of her time. But, not more than a week after her arrival in the city, she was attacked by a rogue hyena she had encountered just outside the city on one of her many nature walks. She barely managed to get herself to a hospital in time, and she counted her blessings when she did, even though the doctors immediately informed her that she was now a werehyena. She embraced the fact and thanked the heavens above that she was still alive. Now, on top of school and looking for work, she is seeking out the local hyenas, wanting to learn to get control of herself again. Strengths: She is loyal to her friends, which means they're more likely to back her up in a fight. She is not an easy person to make cry 'uncle', and she will not give up without a fight.. literally. Has the potential to become an alpha. Weaknesses: Being a newly-turned were, she has trouble controlling her beast and her strength. Her eager willingness to help sometimes gets her into trouble, and she can be a little on the naive side. Quirks: Other:
