Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Yelena
Race: Alkidike ice clan shifter
hopes to be a Beast Master
Gender: Female
3 Base Traits: Passionate , Intuitive, and Dreamer
Personality: She is a very passionate girl who loves to dream about her future. She has a really bad habit of spacing out and daydreaming. She can lose track of an entire day when she is day dreaming. But she tends to listen to her gut in a lot of her decisions. She tends to let her hearts decide and only sometimes uses her head to make her choices. She is usually right when trusting her gut since she is a bit more on the intuitive side. She can be a bit guarded when she first meets people but once she knows them her emotions are very strong. If you hurt her she will fly into a rage that will take a lot to calm down. If you break her heart or trust she will never forgive you and if you hurt one of her friends run like hell the other way because she will hunt you down and make you regret it. She has a very strong bond with people she loves and will do almost anything for them.

She wishes to find someone who will love her and accept her for who she is. Her day dreams center around a handsome guy who will come and sweep her off her feet. She also dreams about what she will be when she is all grown up. She hopes to one day be a beast master and loves animals in nature since they don't judge her for her mixed blood.

Description: She has some of the green markings of a Alkidike and the antenna they have. She has hair like the Alkidike with a white streak in it from her shifter clan heritage. She had blue tinged skin from her ice clan side and the blue crystals from the shifters. Alkidike shaped eyes with the yellow of the ice people. She has light blueish skin and loves her green markings. Her ears are pointed and long. She keeps her hair long with a feather scarf tied into it to keep it out of her face.

Clothing: A deep blue dress that has slits so she can ride with a dove grey cloak to keep her warm in the colder climate. She has a green belt around the dress.

Accessories: She always wears a feather necklace that her mother left for her. It is the only thing she has of her mother. Also a cuff around her upper arm that has tribal designs on it that she found when she was wondering around the ice. There is a red stone in it with a metal pattern over it.

History: She grew up with her father as her mother didn't want to raise a baby that wasn't a pure Alkidike. She felt a bit abandoned by her mother but her father loved her very much and gave her everything he could ever want. He is a mixed wind and ice male but leans more towards the ice ways of thinking. He made her his princess and gave her everything she could ever want. She never got greedy or asked for much just wanted a family and mother that loved her. She grew up hearing magical stories about beast masters and decided at an early age that was what she wanted to be. Her father had wanted her to be an artisan of same sort but he finally relented and told her he would help her with her dream. When she was seven she was given a necklace of feathers that her mother had left for her. She put it on and has since then refused to ever take it off loving the feel of the silky feathers. She has always wanted to make her father proud of her and maybe one day make her mother proud of her and not feel she is a shameful thing for not being a pure breed.

Glad you like her name.

For the dad I meant he is a ice shifter mix don't know why I typed wind. That was my typo.

The other children pick on her since she isn't pure ice and even some of the adults tease her for her hair and her looks. She doesn't like being picked on it makes her very sad. But she tries hard not to focus on the others who tease her. This is why she daydreams so much since in her head no one picks on her and no one is mean to her.

She is proud of her mixed blood as it makes her something special in her mind. She was wondering around one day and heard stories about the Alkidike and what they meant. She decided then and there to get some of her hair done in the dreads to show her strength and her heritage. When she first got them she was treated as even more of a freak but some thought it was interesting to see how she was so strong to chose to do something that would make her even more different. But she doesn't care they make her feel happy and special.

At first her mother did want a baby and one that was different. She thought it would be a baby made with love and would make her happy. When the child was born she was happy but as she saw how others looked at the kid and how they treated her and Yelena she realized it was a mistake. She left and wished she hadn't had the kid.

Yelena loves the necklace because it is something her mother left for her. Some way to hold onto her mother. She doesn't like that her mother never got the chance to know her. Yelena hopes that someday she can get to meet her mother and show her that she is worth knowing. She holds into it because in her mind it symbolizes the idea of what her mother could have been. That maybe she will return and be pleased that Yelena has the necklace and cherishes it. It goes along with her day dreaming and just gives her hope for the future. She also keeps hold of it because it connects her with her Alkidike heritage. She also thinks it is very pretty and that helps her want to hang onto it.

Yelena doesn't want others to effect what she does to herself so even though she is teased for her dreads she wants to have them and so she gets them. They are her way of showing her strength and her pride in what she is. If that makes her an outcast then that's just how it has to be in her mind. She hopes to one day find a place where she can be who she is and not be teased for it.

The other Alkidke she has met have treated her oddly a few have been kind to her and answer her questions about them but most just ignore her a few have been very rude to her and treated her poorly for her mixed race. Some of called her out for wearing the dreads since she is mixed but she hasn't really met that many Alkidke in her life. She would like to meet more and get more answers.
