[break][break]Non-serrated, triangular teeth contribute to her notable characteristics, as do unkempt orange hair and a makeshift camouflage cape. Aligned in rows with no overlap, all of these oft-replaced teeth boast unique angles according to different positions in the mouth, with the express purpose of slicing as opposed to varied chewing or sawing motions. Keen, large gold eyes aid greatly in the chasing and hunting of prey. Possessing a muscular form adapted to speed in both land and water, she boasts a unique posture suited to switching into a sprint or burst position quickly. It is speculated that, to allow for better angles of attack, her mandibles are capable of side-to-side motion and sustained dislocation for further bite radius extension. Rarely visible and located in the very back of her jaws are lateral cusplets, forgivable if mistaken as (smaller) teeth themselves, these small enamel protrusions located above the crown are theorized to be helpful in grasping prey. Trace fibers indicate light and quick-drying clothing, tailored for spending lots of time in and out of water. Unknown orange markings extend from below her jawline to her rosy cheeks. Measuring in at 2.03 meters, she tends to be one of the larger presences within the wilds of Lalonia. Her glowing eyes rolling back in her head as she drops her jaw lined with rows upon rows of teeth makes for quite an impression. A stylized depiction. Another such depiction.

[break][break]The above traits all indicate a top predator at the highest trophic level. Curious more than anything, she spends free time likely swimming or jogging to keep in shape and to explore further. A 'trail' of game and fish remains point towards her inclination to follow wherever her meal sources migrate, with little regard for anthropogenic boundaries. Blunt and direct by nature, her social impact can leave something to be desired if unprepared for conversation. Not at all averse to scavenging, she can be spotted swiping catches or kills before disappearing into the nearest underbrush or body of water. It is surmised she only takes her food rare, possibly indicative of a strong resistance (or ignorance) of disease. Unknowingly, she provides quite the natural service to otherwise treacherous ecosystems through her 'dine-and-dash' trekking, unintentionally managing game populations. Though an inarguable boon to her athletic prowess and carnivorous diet, her somewhat stocky build, as robust as it is, is a known point of self-consciousness. Likewise, a general lack of social interaction with others has led to disinclination to random talk. Meal scraps are plentiful and often readily shared with contemporaries in need. To this end, the unofficial consensus, in whispers at campfires, speaks of her possible willingness to consume any kind of flesh, an opportunistic hunter by definition. A possible consequence of isolation, she lacks perhaps some of the moral trappings clanspeople might take for granted here in Lalonia. It could be said her preference lies with actual trappings. Likewise, the scent (or sight) of piscine blood can throw her into a focused frenzy.

[break][break]Described as a possible lone survivor of a clan erased during wartime, her strange habits and unprecedented lifestyle choices tend to alienate those who would approach her. She bears little resemblance to any known inhabitants of Lalonia thus far, making for colorful rumors and guesses as to where this wanderer swam in from. First discovered by a Solarisclan collector some years ago, sightings have remained erratic outside of peak hunting season during which the hue of her hair can be seen glinting off the water's surface. Annually, she seems to stalk close to the Waterfall for some unknown, possibly ritualistic, purpose. Otherwise, encountering her seems as random as encountering wildlife in the brush. Though not considered malicious or dangerous, certain cautions surrounding this creature tend to be respected, regarding distance and hunting area. It is not known presently the extent to which her clan took action during the wartime period but the creatively-minded envision bloody monsters tearing through, as well as into, enemies at the water's edge, fighting a losing battle against the elimination of their clan.
