APPEARANCE INFO
Brief Appearance
Sembla is a thin, tan wolf with green eyes and white fur scattered about her pelt.
Appearance
Sembla is very thin, looking almost malnourished, but toned. Her eyes are green and beady, yet when she enjoys herself, the glint in them is well worth seeing. Otherwise, her eyes look cold, almost piercing in a way, demanding you keep her entertained. Her pelt is a light brown with white paws, a white muzzle, white tips on her ear, a white chest, and white on the tip of her tail. Her nose is black and her tongue is dark red.
Sembla has little time for grooming, so her fur is matted and tangled in places. It's not uncommon for her to have twigs sticking out of her tail. Even still, her fur is very soft. Once in a while, she'll purposely leave blood from the hunt on it, just to freak others out. She also will leave it on her fangs and muzzle if she gets bored enough, often times with results she considered to be hilarious. Her laugh was always a treat to hear, sounding more like a chirping bird than a wolf when she does it. Admittedly, it is a rarity to hear.
Her voice is airy, and a little high-pitched. When she growls, it sounds like rocks striking against each other. She has scars all over her body from the various fights she's been in, but no marks of a master, as she has never been disciplined enough to master her spells. She smells of the area she most recently visited, consisting of dirt and bark. She likes to put tree sap in her fur once in a while to disguise her scent. Her pace when she walks is always brisk, usually appearing to be recklessly so. She has a feather entwined in her shoulder to signify her brother in flight status.

Personality
Sembla is quite a character. If she gets bored with one thing, she moves on to something else. Many view her as rude, since she doesn't pay attention to those she doesn't find entertaining enough. If her friends stop entertaining her, she drops them like a shoe, and if she's bored, she will just randomly fight with anyone who happens to be near her, friend or not. Not a physical fight, per se, but more like a fight with words, blurting things she knows the other wolf doesn't believe in or want to hear. She is very much a thrill-seeker, always looking for fun and adventure to fill the void left by her family. When she doesn't find any, she will create her own.
Fun-loving though she is, Sembla is also tough as nails. She has taken on many wolves in physical fights before, and has yet to lose. She doesn't depend on her magic to save her because she considers close combat without magic to be more fun. She doesn't gamble unless the stakes are high. After all, why make the safe bet? She considers security to be boring after a while, so she will actually go out and put her life in danger just to end the dullness. The way she figures it, nobody would really care if she died, anyway. She never kills when she wins a fight. After all, isn't humiliating your foe by letting them live much more fun than killing them?
She actually feels very lonely most of the time. Not many understand her and her thirst for adventure. Not many understand her need for change. She will eat anything that smells different to her, as long as it doesn't smell poisoned. She plays pranks all the time. And she often sees others' disapproval of her actions as them misunderstanding her. Sometimes, she wishes that all wolves were just like her, even though that would be incredibly boring.
In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

HISTORY INFO
Family
She actually had two brothers, two sisters, and her parents, but all of them disappeared.
History
Sembla's parents were quirky, just like her. Both were air nomads, yet they met on holy grounds. Her mother was there to enjoy the scenery and her father was bored, so he stirred up trouble. Before the collectors could kick him out for his behavior, she did, going out
of the holy grounds with him irritably.
"What were you doing there?" she demanded. "Why did you go to holy grounds?"
"The same could be asked of you," was what Sembla's father replied. "You are an air nomad, just like me, and these lands are not considered holy by you." Sembla's mother blushed with embarrassment and tried to articulate herself, but couldn't do it. So, she changed tactics.
"Still, that's no reason to cause trouble!" she shouted. "It's not right." To this, Sembla's father raised an eyebrow.
"Nothing is right," was his response. "The rules of the lands aren't right, yet breaking them is considered wrong, therefore, nothing we do is correct." Blown away by this comment, Sembla's mother strutted away angrily, but her father followed her. That was how they met and their romance started.
A few years later, they gave birth to a litter of two boys and three girls. Sembla was just learning how to hunt when they disappeared on her. See, she had gone out hunting, came back, and suddenly her parents, brothers, and sisters were all gone. Of course, her brothers and sisters didn't know how to hunt yet, but Sembla was the prodigy among them when it came to doing just about anything. She's searched for all of them her whole life since, but hasn't found them.
Of course, what she doesn't know is that the place where they were staying was quite close to the Twilight Woods, and that they called to her parents, brothers, and sisters. All of them went into the woods and never came out. It is strongly speculated that they all died, although it is not known for sure, as no one has seen their bodies. This was one of the disappearances that made the woods considered cursed.
Sembla has been to the woods, herself, and has heard it calling to her, but hasn't gone in. She's gone closer than anyone has ever been comfortable with, but she knows it would be suicide to go in there. Maybe she would go in if she knew that was where her family was...

ELEMENT INFO
Element
Air.
Spells
Air shield - She manipulates the air currents around her to make a force-field. It can block just about any physical attack or spell. However, if the force-field breaks, it causes her to faint on the spot. If she was a master of this spell, it would only make her incredibly fatigued if it broke instead of making her faint, but she hasn't used it enough to master it.
Air slice - She makes the air around her opponent incredibly sharp, cutting them. This attack could be fatal if she mastered it, but she only uses it to cut, not even that deeply. It certainly does freak other wolves out, though. The biggest draw back is that, while she could attack someone at a distance with it, if she is in close combat with them and tried to use this move, she'd probably wind up making the air cut herself instead of her foe.
Air jump - She manipulates the air currents around her to make herself jump really high and far, almost like flying. However, she has to really concentrate on the air currents, for if even one of them is off, it could send her in a series of flips and dizzying dives until her death.

Roleplay Sample
Sembla found herself at the base of a mountain. This wasn't as big as the ones in Kuki territory, but it still stretched up to the sky. It would be perfect practice for her. She jumped up onto a ledge and started climbing. Even without her Air Jump, she could jump quite high and far, which has saved her a couple times in the past. Using her spell, she could probably levitate herself completely to the top, but the fun lied in the climb, the reward of making it to the top despite all the odds. She saw a snow-storm was brewing, which was perfect. It only added to the thrill.
The wind picked up and the snow beat against her fur, but she still climbed. She was getting really tired, and it soon got to the point where she couldn't see anything at all, the storm was so intense, yet she pressed forward. This was the most fun she's had all day. However, the storm had beaten her this time. She found herself unable to move another step, even though she desperately wanted to. She wasn't gonna use her magic to help her like a complete sissy, though, and no way was she turning back. She clung hard to the mountain and waited for the storm to pass.
After a few hours, the storm finally died, and she forged ahead, despite the fact that she felt like a wolfsicle. And that's when the sun rose and she made it to the top. It was the most beautiful thing she had seen for a long time. She beamed. Sembla: 1, Nature: 0. She laughed and jumped off the mountain, allowing herself to free-fall. The only question she had in her mind was what she was gonna do now.
