Tail is generally held low, slightly curling up at her hocks. Always sleeps curled up like a fox. When she stands she keeps her limbs close together, as if afraid that a wandering limb will be injured. Anxious to avoid physical contact. Generally does not hold her head at full height. Ears usually up and at ease when alone, turning back and down in most company.

PERSONALITY



:new: Depressed
Moth is sheltering a secret depression. She feels like a poison. She has lost her mother, her mate, her lover, her son. As far as she can tell, the only common denominator is... her. Afraid that she will only bring pain to those who remain near her, she has drawn into herself, but this only allows her demons to tighten their hold.


Introverted
Moth tends to keep herself to herself. She is a very private creature, which sometimes comes across as secretive or guarded. The reality is that she is just not very well equipped with social skills, having only ever known her own family. Strangers and new places make her inquisitive, but her impulse control is so high that she rarely acts on any interest a place or a person might pique. Her caution greatly outweighs any interest. 


Gentle
Moth approaches everything with a certain softness. Unless backed into a corner, she would never act violently or aggressively. When you get to know her better, and get past the jumpy exterior, you find a kind and gentle soul who wishes only peace upon the world and all those within it. She harbours no ill will to any others, never having been given any reason to hate – although her mother would have otherwise, always teaching her the evils of Fellfang and it's inhabitants. 


Honest & Loyal
Moth cannot fathom the keeping of secrets. It is not something she has ever been taught. It is not in her nature to lie, even if the truth might be painful for the listener to hear. In many ways she can seem a little blunt. She would be greatly pained if she discovered someone she cared for had lied to her. The trust of this she-wolf is extremely difficult to obtain, but if one were to have the patience and put in the effort, they would be hugely rewarded. To those she cares for, Moth is loyal to a fault. Her mother is the only example, being the only wolf she has ever really known – Moth will not hear a bad word about Olega or believe anything other than what her trusted mother has told her. She would defend her to the hilt, and walk to the ends of earth to find her. Anyone who gains Moth's trust will be offered the same. 

Intellectual
Although quiet, and largely solitary, behind the aloof exterior is a sharp brain. Many would be surprised to learn that Moth is a clever little wolf who’s intelligence has never really been put to any good use. If one were to get to know her a little better, they might find she is worldly wise, with a desire to learn more and more about the world and it’s history. She knows a great deal about nature, having traveled so far – she knows each pack well, their names, leaders and lands, the best hunting territories, the warmest glade, which berries are safe to eat, and more.   


Spiritual
Olega was not fond of the wolves of Fellfang, but she was raised on their beliefs, and passed these onto her daughter. As such, Moth does share a great many beliefs with the Fellfang pack already. These days she holds onto these beliefs as her one remaining string linking to her mother, and therefore takes them extremely seriously. She is respectful of nature and believes strongly in the deities - to this day Moth believes that Valda tricked her on the day of the fire that separated her from her only family.   


Obsessive
It doesn’t happen particularly often, but Moth can become fixated on certain ideas or objects and develop obsessions. Generally the obsessions are not vocalized or acted on – they tend to stay within, more dangerous to her own state of mind than to others. If she becomes fixated it can be difficult to draw her attention from the object of her focus. By and large she is harmless, but if her fixation is with an object she may become possessive of it.    


Pyromaniac
She was not always named Moth – her natural interest in fire began the nickname, and eventually it replaced her birth name outright. As a youngster she saw fires from safe distances, from miles and miles away, watching forest fires burning like little embers from a safe spot on a mountainside. She would have watched them for hours if her mother had allowed. Whenever there was a hint of flame she would find it and watch it for as long as she could. She loved thunder and lightening storms, hearing the boom and clap of thunder and instantly hoping in the pit of her stomach that the lightening would set a spark. It has become a risky obsession, as she will seek out a fire no matter how dangerous. She is drawn to it as if hypnotized. 






TRIVIA



Moth suffers from haphephobia, although she doesn’t know the name of it or how to describe the way her fur bristles and her throat trembles when someone draws closer to her than she is comfortable with. She’s not comfortable with so much as a nose-to-nose touch, never mind a friendly nuzzle or even a play fight. She hates to be touched in any way, shape, or form and it is perhaps the only thing that could ever tease a violent reaction from her. If someone were to test her boundaries in a place she could not run from, she would stop at nothing to make sure she was not forced into physical contact against her will.  It's something that has developed over time, since the fire, because she remembers warm nuzzles from her mother without fear. 

:new: Over time Moth has learned not to fear contact from wolves she loves and trusts, but this must be built up to slowly. She is still explosively fearful of contract from unfamiliar wolves and even contact with trusted individuals can still be difficult for her.


Moth does not really consider the attractiveness of others. She does not find that the appearance of others interests her and is more likely to fall in love with someone for their heart and their mind.
