Maira

From Shades

Hi,

Here I will put Maira's poems I have written, I know it's a whole lot so I will try to divide it up a bit.

first I will share her background, remember almost everything I have in the background is actually roleplayed, this is a very old character I have played for a long time. She is now an NPC because I'm using her for a story.

Maira's Background

Maira sings in shadows is a lithe, small figure. The most startling about her is her white skin and white hairs and red eyes. She is a striking figure though, with her slender, gracefull frame, her flowing movements. As you get to know her better, her most striking feature is maybe, apart from her coloring, her voice. A beautifull, warm, deep voice, dripping with honey, both for speaking and singing. She is a Fianna Garou, born out of a love match of two Fianna. That means of course she is a metis, and her taint is her coloring.. And unfortunately, being a metis is a taboo amongst many tribes of the Garou, except maybe the Children of Gaia, but amongst the Fianna, something worse is hardly thinkable.. So when her parents died while she was growing up, still very young (about 12 years old) the rest of her Fianna sept, the sept of the Green Bough, in Ireland, decided they did not want to keep Maira on the charity of the group, and threw her out.. And she has lived alone ever since, never completely trusting anyone..

So she lived alone, surviving in the hard city, yet also still aware of the world beyond the obvious. She knows of Werewolves and other strange happenings, magic and moonlight, and for her it is normal, though she feels she has been exiled from it.. Untill a few years ago, when she was staying in New York, and the sept in the Central Park decided to throw some Garou together they saw stumbling into their territory, give them basic training, and then push them through the adulthood rites, in the hope of getting a new sept with strong blood. Maira was angry and roaring at the pushing, and yet, she knew most of Garou society of her fellow initiates, and has helped them with that part.. And then, when the adulthood rites started, they were pushed over the moonpaths, and ended up in Canada, and found there a big threat set up by Shadowdancers, aided by Vampires.. And Maira tried to do her best to convince the Garou of the local Wendigo sept, the sept of the Icy Fangs there that they had to listen to her, but she did not trust her fellow initiates and was seen as a cub and a metis at that, and could not convince them at all. And of the whole group, she made the most valiant effort at that..

Maira decided to try and work out some of the problems on her own, but was not strong enough. She tried to convince the local Garou of the danger while letting the rest of the initiates fumble on, but the first group she met was a group of young, haughty Garou, who were not going to take her seriously either. Maira got LIVID, and decided to finish it once and for all. She challenged the leader, Snarls at Fleas, a Fostern Ahroun, to a duel, laughing at him when he was telling she was a threat to the rest of the group. Telling him how could he be scared of a pup? And the duel started, and by a miracle (and by her swiftness and grace and her gift of Past Life) Maira won, and Snarls at Fleas was shamed.. And Maira was seen as an adult from that moment on, granted by the Canadian tribe. But she still worked alone, and they still did not believe her. And she decided to try and enter the den of the enemy, but got badly hurt while trying to. And she would have died were it not for a bear-shifter, Bill.. So she owes Bill her life, and is open to other shifters, much more so then most Garou. Maira left the grounds she had found her adulthood in, since there was little she could to, and started travelling once more, but this time more angry then frightened, and not a child anymore.
