Eyes: Blue
Personality: She can be random--read: downright goofy--when the time is right, but when it is time to be serious, she is the Queen of Serious. She doesn't trust most people, even Pack (though she trusts Pack more so than Mundane humans) but once she has come to trust a person, she trusts them until they show her they cannot be trusted, and it takes something big for her to stop trusting someone she has been trusting. She doesn't anger easily, though once she is, it's hard to settle her. If you mess with her family, the few friends she has, or her Pack, she will not rest until you are either dead or wishing you were. Loyal doesn't even begin to cover this one, hence a lot of the tattoos. She doesn't really care if people know she is a Lycanthrope, but she doesn't openly advertise that she isin case she needs to be inconspicuous, she can be without a hitch. She is very quiet most of the time. She does ask questions of the Ulfric, though she would never question him as Ulfric. She does not care to kill someone, though she does mourn the loss of life. She is very intelligent, and has gone to college with a double-major in English and Art. She enjoys learning things, mostly to gain the knowledge so she will know later. She also loves animals, and loves food though her figure doesn't show it at all, which she has been grateful for. History: She'd been going to her Dojo since she was 8, working in Kung Fu, working on the Animal fighting stances and katas, as well as staffwork and a little swordwork. She still tries to practice, using the knowledge for self-defense and peace of mind, but mostly for peace of mind nowadays. Rarely does anyone bother her enough to make her feel threatened. The trips to the dojo were called after she graduated from college, on account of becoming furry once a month. She was infected during the last semester of college, having been working on a Bachelor's degree at Nottingham University, working on a double major of English and Art. She had just gotten her degree, having worked on getting it for six whole years, and had decided she deserved to go to the graduation party and get plastered. She had always been so careful to not get too drunk. A drunken party-crasher had turned out to be a Werewolf, shifting when he tried to make a pass at her and she turned him down, though, he had, admittedly, been very cute. He got angry and went to smack her. He ended up taking off several layers of skin on her upper arm, Miranda having ducked back to miss the shot to her face, thanking her Martial Arts training every single day since then, as the scars had still been a little visible, her dragon tattoo managed to cover up the stubborn claw marks,though. Her parents don't know about her being a Lycanthrope just yet, but she wouldn't mind them finding out. She's just not up for telling them right now. Originally from Grimsby, England, Miranda Kingston is on the run from her last Pack, the Baum Kknochhen Clan; in English, the "Bones of the Tree" Clan. A gang made up mostly of childish men and careless killers, it's amazing that she decided to join at all, but her loft mate had suggested the Pack to hersince she was a member as it was, and she needed the company on the Full moons. The men in the group thought she would submit to them easily without a fight, but she decided otherwise, as they used her loyalty to grind her down to nothing but a dog that listened and obeyed. She left because they had wanted her to kill a cop that had been trying to do investigation work on the Pack, they pretty much asked for her to assassinate the honest cop. When she didn't, they tried to punish her, and that had been the last straw. She formally renounced the Pack, and then left the Lupanar with her Ulfric screaming at her in anger. Then again, what she called "formally renouncing her Pack" was her slapping the Ulfric across the face and screaming in his face, "You stupid pup! Do you really think that killing a cop would stop the local police from finding the Pack and arresting every single one of us?! Or simply put a bounty on our heads for the local Bounty Hunters to snatch up?!! I'm leaving the Pack, Henri. I'm tired of all this bullshit. Don't come looking for me. I renounce my ties to the Baum Kknochhen Clan. I am no longer Pack. Goodbye." And she turned abruptly and walked away. As she calmly walked out of the Lupanar that night, she didn't even look back. Henri McKay, the Ulfric, promised that they would track her down, but she only waved it off. She figured they would get over it, or at least learn to. She had only been in the pack a half a year or so, and she didn't think that not having Miranda Kingston in their Pack would be as detrimental as what Henri probably thought. Henri had always been a childish, insolent cub. He was the Ulfric only because he had founded the pack, and his friends were too scared of him to fight him. The entire pack barely knew how true Lukoi society worked. His Skoll and Hati, the Ulfric's best friends, had started their Lukoi lives as Bolverk in the pack at one time or another. They weren't very impressed with their Ulfric, though they didn't say as much, not wanting to hurt their friend's feelings. Apparently they were best friends enough to back him, but not best friends enough to point out their Ulfric's flaws. Like the fact that Henri McKay is arrogant, cocky, lacking common sense, lacking the inner strength and iron will to truly lead, as well as the maturity to realize that he holds sway over an entire group of people. He had, in fact, tried to change Miranda's title from Bolverk to Lupa, after realizing he had urges that all little boys begin to have at a certain age. To his chagrin, she had turned the title down flat, staying as Bolverk by pure choice until she left the Pack. That had angered him, but she had paid him no mind. There had been two wolves that she didn't outright detest, though. One of them had been her loft mate, Bryce Clearwater, a lady she had never minded hanging out with because she had showed intelligence when she and her had spoken. In fact, Bryce had been the one to instruct her on what it was to be a lycanthrope. The other had been Charlie Young, who had been an okay guy. He was the Skoll who had taught her the general idea of what it was to be Bolverk, along with a few pointers. She didn't like Georgi Herald, the Hati, much because. Most of her Bolverk training was from the Skoll and Hati, who both had been the Bolverk preceding her and had decided they were more suited to bodyguard positions than Bolverk. It was simply their choice. Bryce had been a good friend, and Charlie hadn't been a bad guy, just under the wrong leader. She would have tried for Ulfric, but she had known she wasn't leader material. She had never spoken of any of her dissenting thoughts to either of her two friends, though both of them had seen that Miranda greatly disliked Henri. But now that she wasn't apart of the Pack anymore, she breathed a soft sigh of relief, glad to be out of that mess they called a Pack. She's been in the United States long enough to make herself a citizen, but under false credentials (she is now known as Miranda Louis), which she got from a person in Nottingham who is a forger. She doesn't know if her old pack is following her or not, though she suspects as much. She's steeling herself for the day that she has to put the entire pack down--they aren't very large, only 10 members large, including the Ulfric. The Pack is a dangerous, cruel nuisance, one which she is willing to rid the world of entirely. Except for Bryce; Miranda hopes her friend had managed to get out after she had left. She's coming to New Orleans mostly because of the charm of the location, though the bayou is very handy in case any of her old Pack does show up. She was Bolverk to her Ulfric, Henri McKay. She has cut her ties to the Werewolf pack, but her Ulfric did not want to let her go, and she knows how to make certain a body isn't found... Strengths: She can shift intricate parts of her body, shift to and from her three forms and become fatigued but not pass out, and she has a well-defined Wolfman form and a Wolf form. She's fairly good with knives, and owns a pair that she keeps on her wrists. She knows how to use a sword with some skill from Martial Arts training, but is most proficient in Staff. She knows Kung Fu, including the Animal forms and Katas. She isn't skittish around guns, though she has no training in using one. She has graduated college with a Bachelor's Degree, Double-majoring in English and Art. She isn't very skittish around vampires, though the older ones do unnerve her at times. Weaknesses: She doesn't trust many people, has the usual allergy to silver, and isn't proficient with a gun (in fact, she's never held one before). She can be a little impatient, as well. Her tattoos might tip people off to what she is. She doesn't want to let too many Mundanes know that she is a Lycanthrope, so she hasn't told any humans what she is. She hasn't told her parents about being a Lycanthrope yet, but she wouldn't mind to tell them. She has a soft spot for children and animals, so if she were to see either hurt, she would feel the urge to stop and help them. She isn't truly a US Citizen, as her documentation is forged, and can be deported if she is found out. Other: Her fears concerning her old Pack are well-placed, as her old Ulfric and his Skoll are tracking her, hoping to find her and make her come back to England with them. Oh, and cheese. Quirks: She loves animals, hates most insects that have stingers, and loves to read, write and create art. All food is a delicacy to her, and she loves tasting new foods, savoring everything she eats or drinks. She adores coffee and tea, as well as cheese. Grumpy in the morning until she's had her shower and a cup of coffee. Tea, coffee and cappuccino are her favorite beverages, and her favorite style of food is Italian, though running a close second is Chinese (Szechwan cooking being her favorite). She is absolutely aching to try out New Orleans' "Cajun" cooking.
