Description This is what I would probably look like if I was a Blackblood wolf. She's scary, she's horny, and yes; she's a goth! Like me!

The fur matches my hair coz' I have natural black/dark brown hair but I dyed it deep red with blonde streaks at the the front, and violet-purple stripes going down my red colouring, plus she has a mane coz' my hair's so thick that my boyfriend says that it looks like a lion's mane. Her eyes are dark emerald green like my eyes, and she's wearing my favorite cross. Also, the scar on her left paw is the same as mine coz' I've got a tiny faint scar on my left wrist from where I was bitten by something in a lagoon I visited in Cyprus (she has a fear of spiders like me too). The pentagram star under her eye is just there coz' I practise a little witchcraft myself. her name's in latin coz' that's one of my favorite languages.

Name: Atracaedo
Pronounced: At-raa-kay-doe
Name meaning: "Atra" is latin for 'dark,' and "Caedo" is the latin word for 'kill.' When the two words are put together: the latin name "Atracaedo" means 'Dark kill.' However "Caedo" can also mean 'fall' in some other forms of latin, so her name also translates as 'Dark fall.'
Age: unknown
Breed: Dire wolf/Timber wolf/Red wolf mix

Good at: Reading human language, swimming, waiting, roaring, climbing trees and high rocky surfaces, ambushing prey/enemy wolves.
Bad at: forgiving, trusting others, taking orders, tolerating arrogance and stupidity, seeing far away.

Loves: rivers, hunting, running, forests and valleys, freedom, chicken, strength, singing, and her mate; Solusvenator.
Hates: Weakness, cowardice, small spaces with no grass, being controlled, pork, being short-sighted, waiting, being cast out or ignored.
Fears: Spiders, steep drops from great heights, being hated or mocked, and secretly humans.

Personality: unpredictable, proud, independent, honourable, rebellious, philosophical, a little forgetful, sarcastic, cunning, quiet yet very talkative when spoken to or when she feels she needs to be, impatient, sensitive, generous, feral, fierce and violent when provoked.
Key facts:
1) claws are always present as a constant reminder of her violent streak,
2) has a fear of spiders since her left paw was scarred by one,
3) can see the future in her dreams,
4) she takes great pride in her powerful roar and beautiful singing,
5) Other wolves disaprove of her loyalty to the smilodons and young pups who see her often yell out "It's the Lionwolf! It's the Lionwolf! Catch the Lionwolf!"
6) she is the only wolf in both Alteron and the whole of Inaria whose strength and stamina equally matches that of Bloodspill.

History:
A giant among wolves; Atracaedo is the offspring of an alpha Dire wolf father, and a Timber wolf cross Red wolf mother.

Atracaedo was abandoned by her pack as a pup when both her parents were killed by a new alpha that had taken over her pack, she was then found and raised by smilodons. Being raised from puphood to early adolescence by the sabors, Atracaedo learnt many of the sabors' skills; such as roaring and climbing trees, which would be thought of as impossible for a wolf to be able to do. When Atracaedo went on a solo hunt to bring food back to her smilodon pack and was suddenly attacked by Trigonotarbids (a type of prehistoric giant spider), Atracaedo was then discovered by a human shaman who saved her then took her into his care, out of his curiousity of why smilodons would adopt a wolf. However; unlike other human-raised wolves, the shaman treated Atracaedo as a student rather than a pet or hunting partner. Under the teachings and guidance of the shaman; Atracaedo came to learn the human language and even how to read it and actually speak it. Once Atracaedo had grown and matured from pup to adult; She then left the shaman to travel to many lands and make her own way in life.

Atracaedo has very little memory of her early puphood and of her old pack from where she was born, for she was still just a little pup when she was deserted. Not only that; but she was also often tormented by other humans and sometimes by other wolves for her unnatural skills and for being an adopted child of their enemy, the smilodons. It's because of these hardships in her past, that Atracaedo has come to lack trust in others and the capability to forgive.

Often mistaken to be a Blackblood, Atracaedo is simply just a lone wolf who travels at night to many different lands. Due to her mixed inheritage and her upbringing by the sabors; Atracaedo grew to an unbelievable size, much bigger than any smilodon, and possesses a huge quantity of strength to match. Stealthy and caculating; they don't call her "Dark kill" for nothing. Atracaedo is a master at ambushes and her vice-grip jaws make it impossible for prey to escape once caught. Her only weakness is that Atracaedo is almost completely blind, only her night vision is intact. Which is why she only hunts and travels at night, or on a very dark day.

However; Atracaedo holds a very strange gift that not even the oldest of Blackblood elders have: Atracaedo has the ability to see the future in her dreams, and can actually TAKE things from those dreams (hence where she got the christian crucifix necklace from).

Also; legend has it that Atracaedo is (as you can tell from the darker fur colors and patterns), actually the direct ancestor of the today's German Sheperd.

I drew on paper first, then I went over the outlines in black ink, and I scanned it into the computer then colored it using photoshop and paint.
