Nana Hunter

Introduction

Nana is a red cloak wearing Lupine gal who resides in the Lupine forest with her mother down the ways from her grandmother. Originally withdrawn and adverse to social interaction, she is slowly but surely coming out of her shell after a chance meeting with a certain farm boy. What she lacks in her height, she makes up for with strength as she is currently one of the strongest Bookmarked in Briar Patch.

In the past, she used to pop in every blue moon to pick up tea from Baba's for her grandmother but recently she has been increasing the frequency of her visits. Many theoroize it has to do with her boyfriend.

Personality

Due to years being raised by a paranoid single mom, Nana rarely speaks to people she doesn't know unless it's important. She isn't the biggest fan of interacting with those outside of her bubble, often having to be coaxed to step outside of her own boundaries. And because she has a low level of patience for those she deems as "doing too much", she rarely sees much reason to branch out from the tiny circle she already has.

Nana is very level-headed, viewing things from a realistic point of view regardless of all the magic she is surrounded with. Sometimes, this type of thinking can lean towards pessimism. She tends to deliver her thoughts to others in a very direct manner, refusing to dance around the bush when it comes to topics. It takes her awhile to actually warm up to the new people she does wind up meeting. Those who determined and patient enough to befriend her wind up discovering that underneathe Nana's hard shell is a softer girl with a sense of humor. She is an extremely loyal and reliable companion.

She can become very protective, having no mercy for those that wrong the people closest to her. She is known for her brutal battle skills, aiming straight for her opponents throats. And if she can't get to their throat, she makes sure to break or dismantle them limb-by-limb so they can't stop her.

Relationships (WIP)

Jack Dorado
Her Sunflower. When it comes to Jack, Nana becomes more gentle and smiles way more often. She also becomes more flirtatious and even mischevious, something many find hard to believe due to her reputation of being such an emotionally reserved individual.

Pinokuni Silva
Pin and Nana's relationship is...complicated. They both see each other as friends, and treat each other as so, but they also are the two friends that roast the hell out of each other. They never take things too personally as it serves as enrichment for both their blunt personalities.

Kai Bouquet
Friend.

Ashe Stokes
Best friend.

Skills and Abilities

Nana has low vision, which means her eyesight is very blurry. She can see shapes, colors and differentiate light and dark and people based off a combination of all of the above but nothing is sharp and details are nonexistent. She can move her eyes still, picking up people and movement, even if they are fuzzy mish mashes of color. It does more difficult to indentify someone or something the farther away they are.

To aid in navigating new places and altered terrain, the Boar Brothers crafted Nana a foldable wooded cane she can use to help pick up obstacles she may miss. Additionally, her magic mirror can read aloud writing to her.

Lupine Abilities

Due to being half Lupine, Nana has a keen sense of smell, heightened hearing, and quicker reflexes. A punch from her could easily break a jaw, while her own jaws could shatter bone easily with a single bite.

Full Moon
Whenever there is a full moon of any sort, Nana's body automatically shifts into her wereform. This form is much large than her default state.

Lupine Shifting
Being half Lupine, Nana is capable of shifting her body as a defense mechanism. Her already sharpened teeth grow and elongate to the point of stretching her mouth. While like this, they can shred and tear through flesh like butter. One Nana latches on to a target, there's little chance of her letting go. Nana's arms and legs also sprout fur and morph into those of a Lupine to allow her to reach high speeds, aiding in the pursuit of quicker opponents. She can also sprout claws that could chip rocks.

Märchen

The Shield Shroud is an invincible piece of enhanced clothing that was originally given to her by her grandmother and got enchanted by her Märchen. The cloak seemingly grows in size and drapes over her and anyone else nearby, creating a red orb. It can withstand any attack so long as Nana can take the impact without faultering.

Trivia

• While Nana has heightened senses, they come from her Lupine genes. And even then, she uses her cane to help her detect where to go. She is prone to headaches and sensory overload more than the average Lupine.
• Nana naturally smells like cinnamon apples.
• Nana's name comes from her father wishing to name her cinnamon due to her naturally sweet scent and red hair. Her mother of course said no and thus, he tried to improvise. The "Na" of her name basically comes from cinNAmon.
• Although Nana is great at making sweets, she's not too big a fan of them herself.
• Nana is allergic to silver. Making direct contact with it gives her a light red itchy dry rash. While it's not not life threatening, it's irritating to deal with. Warm milk makes the rash fade away in no time however.
• Nana nearly didn't exist due to me struggling so hard on coming up with a design for a Little Red Riding Hood character. On a whim one day, I approached her differently and she stuck. Even then, it took me a while before she became the half-Lupine we know now.
