Occupation: For the longest time, Frostfire had no desire to take up a real career as her upbringing had no need of this; she lived alongside capable individuals that all had the same job - hunting day in and day out. But due to Frostfire's creativity and passion for her culture, she combined her need to write and draw with her need to hunt (and her native culture in general), and thus, books of the Kannik had become her true calling. In the workplace, Frostfire faces the challenge of taking her work and her profession personally. To her, if something isn't worth doing, it isn't really worth doing, and this sense of moral purpose in her work colors everything from how she responds to authority right down to how she expresses it. Though the way she shows through depends on the position, there are a few basic truths about what she seeks in the workplace: she values harmony, needs an emotional and moral connection to her work, and loathes bureaucratic tedium.

Abilities and Skills: Frostfire has a unique feline agility and speed, thanks to her Cheetah lineage, but also the durability of a canine, thanks to a small percentage of Husky lineage. Due to her added Gargoyle genetics, she has wings which granted her the ability to fly. Additionally, her sleep cycle switches to nocturnal, for the most part, and becomes as stone under a solar eclipse. During Lunar eclipse, she spirals into brief period of lunacy and bloodthirst. From a young age, she learned how to hunt game most efficiently; using archery and swordsmanship to hunt. Thanks to her initial crush on Gavriel, she picked up some larceny skills.

Powers: Being as her Pyrokinesis is tied with her anger, Frostfire has a secondary form known as Inferno Form. The Form can appear suddenly should her rise to a dangerous point and Frostfire will undergo becoming akin to flames. The only way to keep her anger and Pyrokinesis in check is by wearing the legendary Inferno Choker; hence the choker she wears. This choker was made for individuals in Kannik tribes such as Frostfire who possess Pyrokinesis.

On the night of a full moon, Frostfire becomes significantly more feral looking, basically like a Werecat (her fangs and claws are more prominent, her ears are crooked, she gains a heightened sense of smell, and she has a sinewy physique; having visible muscles while still retaining her lean features). In this form, she has everything you'd expect any normal Lycan to have. Naturally, she has a major increase in physical strength as well as agility and stamina. But along with that, she is capable of using Lunakinesis; most notably Lunar Slash where she stores Lunar Energy in her claws and Lunar Energy Absorption when energy is low. 

Personality: Frostfire is an INFP (Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving). She is a natural mediator and wishes to keep everyone happy in any given situation. If she is thrown into a position where she must side with one person or another, she will most likely not do so unless one of the two people are close to her. Frostfire is an idealist, always looking for the good in people and events and always looking for ways to make things better. Thusly, she seeks and values harmony; having no interest in having power over others, and don't much care for domineering attitudes at all. She prefers a more democratic approach and works hard to ensure that every voice and perspective is heard. She often takes her idealism too far, setting herself up for disappointment as, again and again, evil things happen in the world. This is true on a personal level too, as she may not just idealize her partner, but idolize them, forgetting that no one is perfect. She often takes challenges and criticisms personally, rather than as an inspiration to reassess her positions. Avoiding conflict as much as possible, Frostfire will put a great deal of time and energy into trying to align her principles and the criticisms into a middle ground that satisfies everybody. 

While Frostfire may seem reserved, calm, and shy, she has an inner flame of passion that truly shines when she is surrounded by things and people she loves. When something captures her imagination and speaks to her beliefs, she goes all in, dedicating her time, energy, thoughts and emotions to whatever task is at hand. Frostfire often wishes that she could just be; doing what she loves without the stress and rigor of real life's standards. When something captures her imagination, she will neglect practical matters like day-to-day maintenance and simple pleasures. Sometimes she will take this asceticism so far as to neglect eating and drinking as she pursues her passion or cause. Frostfire is guided by her principles rather than by logic; which, in alot of cases, can be her downfall. When deciding how to move forward, she will look to honor, beauty, morality, and virtue – she is led by the purity of her intent, not rewards and punishments. 

Frostfire will focus her attention on just a few people – if spread too thinly, she’ll run out of energy, and even become dejected and overwhelmed by all the bad in the world that she can’t fix. Frostfire sometimes sees herself as selfish, but only because she wants to give so much more than she is able to. If she is not careful, she will lose herself in her quest for good and neglect the day-to-day upkeep that life demands. She often drifts into deep thought, enjoying contemplating the hypothetical and the philosophical more than most. Left unchecked, she may start to lose touch, withdrawing into "hermit mode", and it can take a great deal of energy from her friends or partner to bring her back to the real world. A live-and-let-live attitude comes naturally to Frostfire and dislikes being constrained by rules. She gives the benefit of the doubt too, and so long as her principles and ideas are not being challenged, she'll support others' right to do what they think is right. When her principles are challenged or when she is witnessing any kind of injustice, whether big or small, she will become hard-headed. Though she may be a pessimist and give up easily, sometimes her stubbornness won't allow her to give up. While others focusing on the challenges of the moment may give up when the going gets tough, Frostfire has the benefit of her far-reaching vision to help her through. Knowing that what she is doing is meaningful gives her a sense of purpose and even courage when it comes to accomplishing something she believes in. 

The true friends of Frostfire tend to be few and far between, but those that make the cut are often friends for life. She often protects her sensitive inner core and values which make it hard for others to open up to her since she hardly will herself. But, if her shields are properly navigated and she decides to open up and trust another person, a strong, stable friendship will ensue, marked by passionate support and idealism, subtle poetic wit, and a level of emotional insight that is hard to match. Frostfire will always need to disappear for a while, removing herself from others so she can re-center on her own mind and feelings. 

Frostfire is a dreamy idealist, and in the pursuit of the perfect relationship, this quality shows strongest. Never short on imagination, Frostfire dreams of the perfect relationship, forming an image of this pedestalled ideal that is her soul mate, playing and replaying scenarios in their heads of how things will be. Frostfire has a sincere belief in the idea of relationships that two people can come together and make each other better and happier than they were alone, and they will take great efforts to show support and affection in order to make this ideal a reality. But she isn't always in a rush to commit – she is, after all, a prospecting type, and is almost always looking to either establish a new relationship or improve an existing one – she needs to be sure she's found someone compatible. In dating, she will often start with a flurry of comparisons, exploring all the ways the current flame matches with the ideals she's imagined. This progression can be a challenge for a new partner, as not everyone is able to keep up with her rich imagination and moral standards – if incompatibilities and conflict over this initial rush mount, the relationship can end quickly, with Frostfire likely sighing that "it was not meant to be." As a relationship takes hold, Frostfire will show herself to be passionate, a hopeless romantic, while still respecting her partners' independence. She takes the time to understand those she cares about, while at the same time helping them to learn, grow and change. While she is well-meaning, not everyone appreciates what can come across as constantly being told that they need to improve – or, put another way, that they're not good enough. Frostfire would be aghast to find that her intents were interpreted this way, but it's a real risk, and if her partner is as averse to conflict as she herself, it can boil under the surface for some time before surfacing, too late to fix. Frostfire does everything she can to be the ideal partner, staying true to herself and encouraging her partner to do the same.

She prefers to live her life simply with little changes throughout the day. Despite this, spontaneity, be it any given situation or her mood, always seems rear its head. Frostfire is run by her emotions; they can swiftly get out of hand if left unmanaged as the littlest things will set her off in any mood. Since Frostfire is an emotional individual, her mood is rarely neutral. Her emotions can be easily triggered by a small event. The more emotional she is, the fewer "intelligent" words she uses. This typically happens in situations when she is either flustered or anxious.

Frostfire is very much a free spirit and refuses to be "domesticated" by anyone. Frostfire is pretty much the epitome of feline; shiny and/or dangly objects will immediately capture her interest, as well sounds from afar, like cling and cltter, and funny smells, like the new paper smell. She loves taking naps. Frostfire has an intense hatred for rain due to the droplets "stinging" her fur. She has a bad tendency to become quite scatter-brained; her train of thought is a wreck and will shift from one thing to something completely unrelated within seconds (and usually irritates others). This often contributes to her hyperness. Frostfire's anger is like a short fuse on dynamite; she can violently explode very, very quickly. 

Frostfire's sense of morality is very rigid and typically she will not budge from opinionated views unless she can be seriously convinced to change her mind. Her stubbornness assists her courageousness and she is determined to the point of rashness. However, her quick temper will easily land her in an impulsive, possibly even dangerously violent, rampage and will easily get her into trouble if too careless. She holds onto the idea of dreams, honor, courage, and romance very close to her heart.

Deep down, the one thing she treasures most is love and hates abandonment to the point that she will keep friends close no matter how they treat her (which is how she becomes abandoned by others in the first place). This contributes to her gift of being an Empath; she senses other's emotions almost as if she had telepathy. Frostfire cares very deeply about others. Her big heart can occasionally be too big for her own chest; she cares about others to the point where it hurts. Often times when she has alot on her shoulders, she burdens herself further with others' problems to increase her own worth. Her social skills may lack a bit in areas like picking simple cues such as if the person she is talking to is bored of speaking with her but rarely misses a beat when someone's emotions are high. Her social ineptitude is, of course, due to her isolated upbringing. The closer the person is to her, the stronger the emotional connection she has with them. This also works in opposition in tandem with rivals, as well. 

Frostfire follows her heart in the same way Sonic follows the wind - and by heart, that means her infatuations. While she does not usually fall for the jerks, she will fall for most guys if they nice to her. Because she has little control over who she falls for, the cycle of falling for the wrong guy and falling into a depression repeats constantly. Her desperation to impress her crushes will force her to do things she normally would never ever do. She is more of a follower than a leader, but she is sort of in between. 

Besides love, the thing she cherishes most is hunting, as it is a big part of her heritage. Above all else, Frostfire has a nocturnal mind; preferring to watch the night sky rather than cloud-watch. When she needs solitude, Frostfire will take a long flight around the area. Her only fears are abandonment and rejection (and water but she doesn't like talking about that). However, before having stepped foot into a serious relationship, her lack of experience in one made her terrified of commitment. Frostfire loves the sound of many instruments, drums in particular, as music is a cultural thing that has never left from her side. Bagpipes, piano, and the flute are among her other favorites. 

Quirks: She will either translate random words in her tongue or will resort to meows/mews, chittering, hissing, purring, chuffs, and other feline-like sounds to express herself. Her vocalizations aren't limited to feline sounds, however; barks, yips, and howls are also sounds she makes. She likes to use metaphors in nearly every sentence. Frostfire likes to try and speak in iambic heptameter. No matter how she fights it, her tail, ears, and eyes will always reflect her mood. She is sensitive about her chest floofs and does not like prying eyes. 

Frostfire has a distaste for combs; particularly fine-toothed combs. People will often tease her by taking a comb and run their claws along the teeth of the comb, creating this strange noise which causes Frostfire to either lick her chops, lick the air, or yawn (She hates this mainly due to the fact that these reactions are involuntary). She sometimes can be trapped by putting tape around her. Frostfire's fur will fluff up when surprised or scared. Additionally, when she become heavily startled, more often than not, she will jump up a good foot in the air. She is known for her intense glares when hostile and stranger and friend alike tend to back off. Frostfire does the flehmen response to unusual smells; be they pleasant or gross - usually only the latter. This reaction also makes her a bit of a laughingstock among friends. She hates being taken by the scruff of the neck because she will become immobilized and vulnerable. 

Aside from the base of her tail, her spine is the most sensitive part of her body; the right kind of pressure will make her turn to goop. The easiest place to do this is, as previously mentioned, her neck. She also enjoys head rubs, back massages, and rubbing on the webbing of her fingers or toes. Her paw pads can sense vibrations the 4/10ths of a football field and they are the only place that she sweats from. Frostfire writes with her left hand, but does everything else right-handed. 

She can eat almost any kind of meat that has been hunted and cooked; ranging from taste, how tender or chewy the meat is, and how long it’s been cooked (but she prefers the skin to be burnt and the inside to be moist and warm). Her tribe is capable of eating meat that would be normally considered difficult to stomach to outsiders; she will happily eat any type of meat. She likes most forms of Metal, EDM, Pop, and a mix of these and other genres; especially the music where she comes from. Her favorite band is Volbeat and will not hesitate to dance and sing to any song of theirs that is playing. 

Frostfire tolerates alot of people but she hates the bad boy types who cheat, decieve, and have inflated egos; she cannot share the same air with them and will let them know this should one cross paths with her. She is absolutely enthralled by technology. She paces back and forth when thinking or nervous. Frostfire uses words that not many people have heard of or understand; mostly due to her sophisticated upbringing. 

She has a cute laugh when she is smitten with someone. She also only does the Eskimo kiss with her family but will make few exceptions; as it is considered as intimate as a real kiss. Frostfire at first sleeps curled up with her tail around her muzzle but she always manages to end up laying on her stomach or sometimes her back. When in Werecat form, Frostfire's attention is normal but she acts more like a canine.

Misc:
Under normal circumstances, Kannik are reclusive and only interact with outsiders via trading. But as with the case of Frostfire, her lineage is one-third Cheetah on her mother's side.
