"You don't know what I'm capable of, you don't know what I've done!"
GENERAL APPEARANCE:
Denali is a generally attractive looking young girl. Due to her Native American blood, she has slightly darker skin which really only looks like she has a nice tan. She is rather lean, with curves in all the right places thanks to her late mother’s good genes. Her arms are only slightly bulky with muscle – though she isn’t the strongest girl, she certainly can pack a good punch if the situation requires one. She is pleasantly developed in the chest region, and she usually gets somewhat of a head turn no matter where she goes. Denali rather enjoys flaunting the good looks that she is well aware of possessing and using them to her advantage, whether to attract boys romantically or just to get what she wants.
Denali’s hair is rather long, the way she likes it, though there are many that have told her that keeping it so long is nothing more than an unnecessary hassle. Usually she gets this critique from her oldest half brother, but she couldn’t really care less about what he thinks of her appearance. She tends to her hair lovingly, always making sure it is shiny, untangled and looking its best. It is just another attractive characteristic that she flaunts for her own benefit. She is also rather partial to her eyes, as they are a beautiful almond shape and deep chocolate brown. She has rather naturally long black eyelashes that even further enhance her eyes, making them the definite focal point of her pretty face.
As to her style, Denali pays a lot of attention to dressing herself. Since most of her peers are rather ignorant and assume that werewolves are all ratty looking, disgusting and dirty, Denali makes an extra effort to prove them wrong. She loves make-up and will spend quite a while in front of the mirror getting herself ready for the day. When she’s not in her Slytherin robes, Denali usually likes to dress comfortably but attractively. She does feel a little bit self-conscious, however, due to the number of scars on her arms and legs, which are souvenirs from her many nights out in the forest under a full moon. Her largest scar, however, runs across her side and is still rather dark, even though it was the first she received years ago, when she was three years old. Her father hadn’t much taken her pain level into consideration when he’d bitten her – he’d only made sure there was no way around her becoming what she now was. Thanks to him, she has the many imperfections on her body that she will often attempt to cover up with make-up or clothes. She is otherwise very confident in herself and her looks, but the scars are the one thing that will always make her second guess herself, and she hates it.
MOST LIKED FEATURE: Her hair – it’s rather voluptuous and usually attractive looking, when it’s not in rats from a bad night in the forest.
MOST HATED FEATURE: Her various scars from her outings, and of course from where her father bit her.
HERITAGE: English
ETHNICITY: Caucasian and Native American
"The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure."
GENERAL PERSONALITY:
stubborn – Being the youngest of her siblings, Denali was often taken for granted and seen as weak. Because of this, she developed the need to prove herself and prove her siblings wrong, and that trait just sort of carried over to the rest of her associations. She has trouble admitting that others might be right when their views oppose her own, and Denali is constantly trying to prove that her own ideals are right. She also gets quite annoyed when people attempt to tell her what to do, and she will often go against their instructions, even if she would have done it herself, just to be obstinate.
feminine – Contrary to popular belief about werewolves, Denali actually takes a great interest in glamming up her appearance. She enjoys flaunting her femininity as much as she possibly can. Also, being in a family with mostly boys, it’s another thing that sets her apart from the rest of her siblings, and also contributes to the obstinate thing, seeing as her oldest brother would much prefer her to focus on doing her “duty” rather than spending time making herself look good. Of course, Denali also appreciates more girly activities, such as gossiping (not that she has too many friends to do so with.)
hot-headed – Denali has a bit of a temper and she won’t really think things through very well when she’s particularly ticked off about something. When she gets her mind in a rage she’ll just surge forward with whatever it is she thinks of to do, even if it’s not exactly the best thing for the situation. She will often get reprimanded for this trait of hers, but it isn’t one that’s very easily fixed.
revengeful – Going along with the above, Denali is definitely one to hold grudges, and will rarely forget about something or someone who has done her wrong. When she’s in a bad mood, she is especially responsive to people who annoy her or purposefully get on her bad side, and that’s not something she’ll easily let go. This is perhaps the only time she is grateful to be a werewolf, seeing as that trait is something that most people fear, and Denali will often use it as a threat simply because most people are too empty-headed to realize that she is never actually within the castle grounds when she makes her transformations. Of course, as long as they don’t know that, she’s perfectly dangerous, and enjoys threatening people with her terrifying power.
temperamental – Denali tends to fall victim to some intense mood swings, which make her rather unpredictable and sometimes difficult to read. She can be in a completely positive mood at one moment before someone says something or another that sets her off and gets her angry. Her actions as well are also quite impulsive, and there’s never really any telling what Denali may do next.
loyal – Despite all her somewhat negative personality traits, Denali is actually unwaveringly loyal, and once you have gained her trust and proven yourself to be a good friend, she will stand by you no matter what. She has very few friends due to her condition and her well-known father, but those who have braved the storm and gotten past her unique situations usually find a very good and trustworthy friend in her. Denali is exceptionally good at keeping secrets, since she has plenty of her own, and she knows the importance of trust due to her own reluctance to place it in others, so she would never dream of betraying the trust of a friend.

GENERAL HISTORY:
Denali came into the world much like her half siblings did. Born of a randomly chosen mother, Denali was destined for much more than her maternal family could have ever known. Though Denali’s mother was violently raped by a monster in the night, she was kind hearted and chose to keep the child she conceived as a result of the union. She was living with her own father at the time, a wise man who believed in their ancient traditions and told his daughter that she should not give up her child. Denali gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and bestowed her own name upon the child. Young Denali lived with her mother and grandfather for three years, and though those years were short lived, she learned many things and grew quite attached to both of her caregivers.
When Denali was three years old, the truth of her birth made itself known, as Denali’s birth father came back into the picture. While Denali’s grandfather was out on an errand, Fenrir Greyback returned, seeing the daughter that had emerged from his relations with her mother. Caring nothing for the woman he’d impregnated, Fenrir easily killed her, taking his crying daughter away from the scene. Denali’s happy life was left far behind, instead replaced immediately by a new family, a new situation, and a completely new life. She was introduced to a whole family of children, all older than her, but still relatively close to her age, whom she was told were her half-siblings. The older ones tried to explain to her what she was here for, and what would inevitably happen to her, but nothing could have prepared her for her experience.
The pain that Denali went through on that full moon was indescribable. Her young age did nothing to phase her father’s violence – he locked himself in a room with her as he transformed, viciously biting her around the middle as she screamed in terror, sobbing for a relief that would never come. Every full moon after that, things were drastically different. Denali’s bones were constantly broken, shifted, and reshaped into the body of an uncontrollable monster, and she had no idea why this was happening to her. All she knew was that her siblings all went through the same ordeals – they were all together in this boat now, thrown together into this pack that their father was creating for his own selfish good. Most of them were not particularly happy with this new situation, but there was little they could do but simply go along with their father for now, or else risk losing their lives completely. Then again, at the moment, that might not have been such a bad idea.
Denali grew in that house with what shambles of a family there was, and though she hated her father and this new life he had forced her into, she grew to love her siblings. They were bonded together in such a strange way that there was little chance that they couldn’t become friends, and though they all had their different views and opinions, Denali grew to care for each and every one of them – some more than others, of course. She was closest with her brother Parson. Only a year older than her, the two were the youngest of the group, and often excluded in many things or put down for being young and inexperienced. In this way, they bonded even more closely than the rest of their siblings, and Denali grew to love Parson in a way that she had never loved anyone before. They grew exceptionally close together, and when Parson headed off to Hogwarts, leaving Denali behind at home, it was certainly one of the worst years of her young life.
Fenrir would often make short return visits, checking up on the sad little family he ran, and Denali would often fear these trips, being afraid of her father and what he might say or do. When Parson was gone, leaving Denali alone with her oldest sister, she felt even more exposed and unprotected, and she was often frightened that she would do something to displease her father and make him angry with her. Thankfully, his visits were short and few, so she had little to fear during that year, and when her eleventh birthday finally rolled around, she too received her letter to Hogwarts and was able to escape her home and follow her brother to the magical castle, where a new chapter of her life would begin.
While at Hogwarts, Denali found that she actually somewhat enjoyed school, and although she did find homework rather annoying, she liked to learn about new things. She liked sitting quietly in her classes and soaking up the knowledge they taught her, even if she didn’t much like regurgitating that knowledge in the form of essays and tests. It was rather difficult for Denali to make friends, as both her name and her siblings preceded her, leaving a trail that most would prefer to leave untouched, but Denali did manage to make a couple friends that she grew attached to, though she was still closest with her older brother Parson. They had both been sorted into Slytherin like the rest of their siblings before them, and so they were able to spend a lot of time together in the common room and other places around the school. And of course, every full moon they would head out together to the Forbidden Forest to make their monthly change. It was a tedious routine, one that Denali wished just wouldn’t happen anymore, but there was really no way around it.
Now in her fifth year at Hogwarts, Denali is growing into a very lovely young woman, although the same may not be able to be said for her somewhat bitter personality. As the pack continues to grow up and as the war in the wizarding world escalates, there is even more pressure on Denali to become something she just simply doesn’t want to be, and although she tries her best to just ignore whatever calling she’s been told she has, at times there is just no other option but to do as her authorities tell her, or else risk some serious consequences. Denali tries her best to focus on her schoolwork and just live her life, but with the gravity of her many different situations intensifying around her, one has to admit it is rather difficult.
