Detailed:

Visage: Standing lean at a strong 5"10, Gorina's body shape is very well defined since muscle mass is mostly what her weight consists of. Muscle, weighing in more then body fat, has left the girl carrying around heavy limbs and strong stances, but nothing that compromises her overall appearance. Her skin is tough, tanned lightly, and scarred in some places where her more fatal blows have landed and left the girl learning from her past mistakes.

Layers of jet black hair fall from her head in a straight, thick mane, only ending it's course in the area where her knees bend. It's length is mostly consistent, save for her bangs and a messy crop atop her head where it's former length was disliked and cut short in a rather rough, but efficient way. Her bands are still long by most standards, falling down to about mid chest, and it's a messy clump of hair that usually always covers her left eye. Gorina, being a demon, only takes care of her hair to an extent, that is, when it gets in her face, she deals with it then.

Nestled well in her hair, two wolf like ears adorn the top of her head, twitching occasionally to difference themselves from the girl's hair. The pinks of them are clean, the tuffs of fur rough, and her wolf-like tail follows about the same standards, but longer strands of fur makes for a much heavier looking tail.

Just like any other full demon, her claws adorn her toes and hands and she harbors canine-like fangs behind her lips. Her eyes are a piercing yellow, and these hues are slitted to complete her canine look.

She wears what's left of a tattered kimono, black, with a velvet red lapel, and the insignia of a flaming red dragon lays claim to the right side of her. Gorina's kimono is loose, barely held in place with a black obi, and falls off her right shoulder. The obi that holds it all in place is missing it's bow, but is black and heavily patterned with red leaves. The black strings in the front of the obi creates a 'corset' type effect, with a lone lining of desaturated red showing through.

With her kimono so tattered and loose, the girl wears tattered wrapping that keeps her fairly decent, in the same way a body suit would. This could very well leave people wondering about the consistency of that wrapping, but what most people don't know is that beneath it lies more black fabric, of which is securely tied in spot from the grey wrappings that cover like a sleeveless top right down to about mid thigh in a body suit effect.

Nature: Gorina is, in two words, extremely focused. Her goal is constantly within her sights, and in her minds eye, all that matters. This tends to give her a rash, complacent attitude though, and she doesn't cope well in groups. Loneliness isn't something that plagues her, however. She's an individual and acts, copes, lives and breathes as one. People don't tend to get along with her simply because she's not willing to put up with people who get in the way of, or hinders, her primary goal. Things are very simple in her eyes; it's live or die.

That being said, the girl isn't afraid to kill, but won't do so without a good reason (or a sorry excuse on rare occasions). Her temper is generally short, but Gorina generally has enough of a previous focus to be uncaring to most people. Emotions are suppressed easily for lack of using them, save the use of her anger and drive of revenge to get her job done. She's a finisher type of person who won't put something down until she's completed with it, but she finishes things usually quickly enough to move on without hesitation.

Saga: Living in a traveling pack of wolves, Gorina was a pretty normal wolf demon, spending her time hunting and following the course of prey, as her ancestors and predecessors laid claim to the Northen Lands.

A daughter to a father and mother, she had a single brother who was five years older, and thus, five years better then her. She grew accustomed to the competition, but her parents weren't that crude to her, mostly telling the girl to keep trying.rather then catering to her needs. Gorina's fierce drive of revenge comes from elsewhere, however. A single event that has left the girl thirsty for revenge for years...

It had been another day of intense travel, as was custom amongst the tribe of wolf demons, but, crossing into territory boundaries, they had begun to hunt in the lands of Power hungry Ice Demons. It was something commonly done; to pick off of the lands that were not theirs for food once they had driven away the flocks of prey the wolves would live off of. Besides, for Ice Demons to hunt like wolves would be uncharacteristic to their demon types, and the Northern pack of wolves knew this.

They had, however, never caught wind of the new lord in that lands. One that had risen to slaughter his own parents for power. The new Ice Lords had decided to expand their territory, and the wolves were now directly in their path of conquest South. Being the farthest territory North, the Ice Demons had come across the pack of wolves easily enough in their travels, and slaughtered the whole tribe. The entire attack had been unexpected however, and confusing during it's course.

Gorina, being the youngest of her tribe, had been blindly throwing her attacks around in an attempt to stay alive when she had noticed that, out of the two Ice Demons, the smaller one had simply been watching the slaughter with a careful eye. His lack of interest in the entire event had angered the young wolf to the point of an attack, but the girls untrained body was roughly shoved aside, and the impact that she had hit the ground with was enough to knock Gorina unconscious.

It was by this pure fluke, this pure instinctual anger, this one attack, that Gorina had survived the mass slaughtering of her tribe. The Ice Lords, finished with their job, had simply thrown a few dead bodies, her families and friends, atop of their growing pile of already fished victims, and Gorina had lay unconscious amongst them for several hours until she awoke.

The scene was horrifying upon her awake, but the girl refused, for a long time, to leave the area where the rest of her life had come to an abrupt halt. Weeks passed as only hours, and after laying everyone she knew to a respectful death, Gorina trudged forward; swearing revenge upon the Ice Lords that had left her in this sorry state. Her senses were still sharp and her nose keen, and with pure Instinct to live, the girl became focused on revenge.

After becoming emotionally numb to the guilt and depression death can bring, the Northern Wolf Demon only completed the first part of her goal while she was still the equivalent of eighteen in human years.

The Ice Lord that had done most, if not all, of the killing of her relatives and friends, was slain of her own hands, a satisfactory victory, and enough of one to keep the girl pressing to the next step. She managed to get a name of the last remaining decedent of Ice Demons...

"Aoi."

Her hunt begins again.

Skills:

Youkai Abilities: A wolf demon comes equip with night vision, an acute sense of smell and hearing, and a basic instinct to survive.

Youki Abilities: Gorina keeps things simple, and the same goes for the use of her youki. It's used very much like energy balls, which, simply put, are powerful explosions of youki. These are used for attacking powerful, or large things and destroying obstacles. Her ki is powerful, but she has a limited reserve, and therefore, won't use them for things she finds negligible.

Hobbies: Gorina is very focused. Unless hunting can be considered a hobby, she doesn't side track very easily and therefore doesn't put aside time for hobbies.

Likes: Accomplishment, completeness, traveling by night, things in constant motion.

Dislikes: Aoi, distractions, having nothing to do, people demeaning her accomplishments.

Gorina's goal of killing Aoi is always at the forefront of her mind. She dislikes taking time away from completing her goal for things she finds 'minor' or 'distracting, and generally spends all of her time searching for the Ice Demon. She eats on the go, and prefers night for traveling because smaller amounts of demons tend to attack her at night when her darkened color scheme keeps her mostly hidden.
