Occupation: Alpha Female.
Gender: Female.

Age: 200, physically looks to be in her early to mid twenties.
Clothing: Frankly, Farryn wears whatever she wants. She's a bit of a rebel in that she doesn't see why she should conform to the fashions of the 'trendy' in this day and age when she is clearly superior to the tastes of the human world, and as such her look is dated a little, stuck in the 1990's, she hates sneakers and prefers a pair of biker boots above all over forms of footwear.. She likes to wear leather jackets and pants, slung around her hips, hugging her curves and relishing the fact that she simply puts the fact that she's a woman out there. She has a style that's her own and she's rather fond of, a mixture of gothic and grunge.

Jewellery: Nothing specific from outfit to outfit, Farryn prefers to wear whatever she wants to finish off an outfit from day to day and mood to mood.

Farryn's Tattoo

Wolf Form

Build: With a stocky build for sheer power over agility or speed, Farryn's wolf is something of a battering ram given legs. Though she does have a covering of hair from head to toe it is very coarse and short and does not give much in the way of protection. Capable of both bipedal and quadruped movement her strength lies in her musculature and stamina, she is more likely to use her weight as a weapon, especially since her paws have small stub like digits making holding a weapon difficult at best.
Height: 8'6" when bipedal, 5'3" when quadruped.
Weight: 263lbs.
Hair: Grey.
Eyes: Blue.
Defining Marks: Farryn's wolf for has a 'stub' of a tail and her ears have several small tears around the outer edges, giving her a distinctly battle worn look.

Pack

Position: Alpha Female.
Territory: A Manor in Beverly Hills and a good patch of land surrounding it, well defended by the pack.

Hair
Length: Shoulder length, though it fluctuates between straight and curly and can swing down a little further if Farryn has taken the time to style it.
Style: Farryn's hair is thick and full and she likes to wear it down most of the time, she keeps it trim and neat though, despite the slight wild look it tends to give her, especially when styled with a slight curl.

Facial Hair
Length: N/A
Style: N/A

Eyes
Color: Brown
Oddities: When angry or in pain or simply when she wishes to tease or intimidate, Farryn's eyes will flash or flood their natural wolfen hue.

Personality: Always having had a slight mean streak, the events in Farryn's life have simply extended that streak until it has all but taken over her personality. Cruel, hot tempered and bordering on sadistic to all but her mate, it seems that Farryn is a little unhinged and detached from reality, rather than actively 'mad'. She is quite simply drunk on power, being an Alpha female so young has gone to her head and she enjoys asserting her dominance through violence, usually aimed at Lucy Everett; her favourite punching bag and walking testament to her strength. There is very little fluctuation in her personality; she carries a sort of stoic anger around with her, openly possessive, arrogant and selfish. She may not be a remotely nice person, but she is strong and unwavering in her frenetic nature.

She is jealous and petty to a certain degree and has her own worries about Lucian's desire to find Molly Cullen and perhaps as a result of this she has a need to make sure she is seen as the absolute best of the females in the pack. She uses her fists to demonstrate that she is strongest and fastest and demands respect, even though she does little to earn it through conventional means. She dresses everything up behind her desire that the pack survive by any means. Her pride has blinded her and she cannot really see that she is hurting the pack more than she is protecting it, she doesn't want to see that fact and nothing will wake her up to it.

Despite all the defects in her character though, Farryn actually, genuinely cares for Lucian. She has rather set him on a pedestal, well aware of his own flawed characteristics and thinking that that just makes them all the more suited for one another. Unlike the male, he is her first mate and she intends him to be her only one. She is in fact stubborn about that fact and definitely does not want to be replaced...

Weaknesses: Youth is probably her main weakness, physically as well as mentally. She's a skilled fighter but what she lacks, frankly, is experience and against a larger fighter than her, someone with strength and weight in their favour as well as experience her own advantages in skill are severely waylaid. She can be vicious in a fight to the point of cruelty; this could be both a weakness and a strength depending how in control of her urges she is. As a by product of her youth, Farryn is hugely arrogant, and that is a significant weakness. She cannot even entertain the idea that she can lose a fight or that she is ever in the wrong.

She is only just in control of her change, barely. On the nights of the moon she is volatile and temperamental, pushing the wolf back down with all her might and the smallest thing has the tendency to make her snap into a fit of rage.

Abilities: As a lycanthrope Farryn enjoys all the perks her species afford; reflexes and senses of the charts, advanced healing times and the ability to leap large distances without breaking a sweat. Farryn was always keen to become a fighter and learn from her father and even after the pack home was destroyed and she lost him to the battle she has pursued that goal, as a result she is extremely capable in a fight. She prefers bladed weapons, especially her Trench Knives and her Tanto, those being the weapons she is most proficient with, having several forms of combat under her belt with the weapons. She is also in control of her change, able to transform to her wolf form at will and resist the same at the full moon, though as explained her hold on this is dangerous.

Weapons: More often than not Farryn likes to use her fists as weapons and will go for a pair of Trench Knives if she's feeling particularly vindictive, and also keeps a Tanto in good condition should she want to use it. She owns a pair of GLOCK 39.s but beyond that she is much more of a melee fighter, preferring daggers and staffs to guns.

Trench Knives circa. 1940


Tanto

Prized Possessions: Quite simply Farryn values her life and the life of Lucian above all else and would happily gut someone who stood to threaten either of them. Even a fellow pack member if she had to. In terms of inanimate objects, there is nothing she particularly holds dear.

Home(s): Red Moon Manor in Beverly Hills with the rest of the pack.

History: Farryn Barlow was raised by her father alone, her mother having died in childbirth with their only offspring. She was nevertheless generally happy, the whole pack was like a family to her and she enjoyed the companionship of wolves her age for most of her childhood, even if she did have a tendency to be a little rougher in play than most of them. Lucy Everett was usually the one who stood in her way, always telling to 'calm down' or 'back off' a little from the younger playmates and through the opposites of their personalities a rivalry was born, one that lived on even as their parents tried everything they could to diffuse it.

Like the rest of the pack fighters when the final attack came, Farryn's father joined in the defence of the pack's home. By this time his only daughter had been training with him for some time and as such had only a mildly easier time getting out before the fire swallowed the premises. She caught up with the rest of the survivors and moved on with them; angry and bitter as she was now steadily becoming.

She fell into line, with Lucian Mar and Molly Cullen taking leadership of the remains of the pack and she herself became the Beta female, proud to hold such a position and be able to protect what was left of her family even as they were chased by the vampires who had destroyed their home. She remained proud even as she saw Lucian's decline, his obsessive nature taking over control of her lucid thoughts and changing and twisting him. After the loss of yet more of their number once he had made the decision to face the vampires head on, after his mental decline could no longer be ignored and he finally seemed to simply snap, Farryn watched in horror as Molly first challenged him and then beat him, stepping up in desperation that they not lose more of their number.

Soon after she became the new mate to Lucian Mar, who had reclaimed his position as Alpha after Molly left the pack, Farryn began to use Lucy Everett as an example to the rest of the pack that it is not only Lucian who has the ability to inflict pain and that an error in judgement can have painful consequences from her as well, though the public displays of dominance obviously belong to him. When she needs her ego fluffing, when she needs to blow off steam she will often call for her old 'rival' and slap her around, often causing damage that take days to fade.

She remains a contemptuous individual and has slipped into complete denial that she is damaging what remains of the original pack with her actions; she sees it as protection and strength and doesn't tolerate being questioned by anyone other than her mate. If Lucian is happy, Farryn is happy, if he is not, neither is she.
