Eyes: Blue
At 5'7, Mia is perhaps a bit on the thin side, she could probably stand to gain 10-15 lbs, but she wears it well, not appearing too skinny, but not having an ounce of fat anywhere on her body. She is very shapely, with curvy hips, and long legs. In fact, she has often been described as having the face of an angel, the body of a seductress and the eyes of the devil. Her clothing style depends on her moods, she has just about everything imaginable in her closet, including an extensive collection of 80's rock band t-shirts. In hyena form, Mia tends to take on a darker form than the normal hyena, a trait fairly common to her familial blood line. Instead of the more usual cream to light browns, Mia's background fur is almost a smoky gray, with black spots, and a pure black muzzle. Personality: Mia is playful, and friendly, a natural flirt. She loves most sports, and is a wicked soccer player. She much prefers the company of men, as women tend to be more jealous of her, whether theres a reason to be or not. She is a very tactile person, loving to touch and feel, and be touched, which has gotten her into trouble many a time. She can also be a tad too willful and dominant at times, its just her nature. She is never afraid to speak her mind. Mia also has a sarcastic wit, that sometimes is a bit sharp. History: Mia was born 25 summers ago, near Tahlequah Oklahoma. Her Tsalagi (Cherokee) name is Miakoda Unesdala Ross. Miakoda means Power of the Moon. She comes by her "disease" as some call it, naturally. She is a blood born Hyena, both parents, as well as her maternal parents were hyenas. She has an older brother, who is the current Oba of their families clan back on the reservation. Mia spent most her time on the reservation until she was 13. At that time, she was packed off to live with her paternal grandparents to learn more of the ways outside of the reservation, and their clan. Her brother Shawano, 4 years her senior, never left the reservation, and to this day, despises any outside influences, considering them evil. though she missed her parents, and the life of freedom she led on the reservation, Mia loved the "outside world." So much so, that she chose to attend college, at Kansas University. Mia loved experiencing the best of both worlds. She went home to Oklahoma every chance she got, and spent her time at school, not only learning , but practicing maintaining control over her beast. So much so, that she spent 4 years at college, without a soul knowing what she was. She learned how important that was, When she was just 16, and fell for an older guy, who learned her secret, and betrayed her, intending to sell her off to some were hunter. It was then, that she learned two things. Never trust a man.... and she was more than capable of killing when backed into a corner. After college, Mia spent most of the next 2 years on the reservation, continuing to strengthen her abilities. Her father died when she was 23, and her mother couldn't live without him, and soon followed him to the grave. When Shawano became leader, her tried to force dominance over his little sister. He was taking his position beyond all that was allowed, trying to bend her will to his. While Mia had no problem being a part of her clan, and maintaining the rules as they were, she could not ,and would not give in to her brother, and his ideas. Eventually, she was given the choice of submitting to Shawano, challenging him, or being cast out. No matter how much she had come to hate him, she refused to fight him, so Mia chose to leave, and has not looked back. She returned to a normal human life, living in Kansas City with her grandparents, until they died, making her independently wealthy. She then spent the next year in Arizona learning the ways of the non-born hyena. One of her father's best friends, who had been a constant in her childhood, was Oba of the Burning Desert Clan. Still feeling restless, she chose not to make her permanent home with them. Grayson, her father's friend saw great potential in Mia, and upon hearing of Caine's ambitions in New Orleans, contacted him, thinking she would be a great asset to the Iron Tooth Clan. And so, Mia has come to New Orleans to assist Caine. Strengths: Though she has the usual were abilities, her biggest strength is her ability to hide how powerful of a were she actually is. She can play the weakling quite easily, and draw others into her web, before lashing out. She has amazing control over her beast, making it hard for even the most practiced were hunter to even realize she is one, even though her beast is quite dominant. She also does have the ability to heal others, perhaps more so because of her Native American blood. She is trained in the martial arts, and prefers to use her hands, and teeth. She is also very adept with knives, but has had little experience with guns. While not immune to silver, she does tend to be able to stand it in small doses, for short periods of time. Weaknesses: Mia's mouth. Sometimes, she just doesn't know WHEN to shut up, especially if backed into a corner, or if it is a male. She does not like to back down.... ever, which has obviously put her into trouble more times than not. She has the usual were weaknesses, but Mia is more susceptable to the effects of alcohol than your average were, so she tends to stay away from it altogether. While having the ability to heal others through blood, when injured herself, her own healing is not as accelerated as most weres. Sometimes, even the smallest of injuries can dishabilitate, or weaken her for longer than it should. Of course, her healing ability completely drains her of all energy for a period of time weakening her immensely. Quirks: She has a fondness for dark chocolate, and roses. She is also a Pepsi-a-holic. Though not into S & M per say, pain sometimes acts as an aphrodisiac. SO much so, that she has silver jewelry that she sometimes wears. Other:
