Full Name: Iliana Roman / Ana Gabor

Nickname: Ras

Species: Eurasian Lynx (beast changeling)

Age: 29

Gender/sex: Female (...just in case you didn't figure from the NAME)

Quirks: Speaks in a Romanian accent, but can switch to American if there's a problem of understanding. When she is angry or frustrated, she tends to cut out contractions from her vocabulary. Hates hospitals. Commonly goes barefoot.

Physical Description: Amber yellow eyes, lined in black with white markings surrounding. Light and dark marks and black lines expanding around to complete the "mask" on her face, which is framed by her wavy shoulder length light brown hair. She stands at 5'7" with a proportional, curvaceous build. She TYPICALLY wears comfortable attractive clothing, jeans and blouses, etc. Dark brown and tan are preferred colors, occasionally orange as well. And she NEVER would leave the house without her silver necklace, or her leather cuff bracelet. She tries to keep her wrists covered at all times, but if caught off guard, or with someone she trusts, they'll see that her wrists are stitched all the way around with hemp twine, as though her hands were SEWN on like a scarecrow's.

Mentality: Best safety lies in fear. It's what she's known, it's what she teaches, and it's how she makes her living in movies. If rumors of a serial killer keeps people in their homes at night, safe and sound and away from predators, well then clearly it's best to keep those rumors circulating. Protecting people is her raison d'être. She has white-hat goals, but uses gray/black-hat means on occasion.

Skills: Highly skilled actress, and a decent writer. Unfortunately her skills ON-SCREEN don't always translate off-screen, and so she's not the best at dealing with people all the time. Having been used as a hunter, she's an excellent unarmed fighter, using her claws more than anything. Can shape-shift into a fully-animal Lynx.

Weakness: Ras is afraid of emotional intimacy, and tends to push away people who she starts to fall for. She's got a martyr complex, and paired with her near obsession with protecting her loved ones, she tends to put herself into dangerous situations rather than ask for help. Pride is her vice, and she refuses to allow herself to admit weakness or that she can't solve a problem. Ras never eats stew of any kind, nor meat pies. Won't say why.

Sexuality: Very strong, and VERY straight. While she's fallen into bed with a number of people, she is VERY selective on the "who." Even they generally turn out to be one night stands and she's gone by morning, if on a repeating basis. Has - well, HAD - a few mates sprinkled around the country. She'll flirt and allow those select few to give her affection in public. But if anyone WITHOUT that allowance tries, they tend to get an armful of claws before even laying a hand on her.

Personality: Generally laid back in a gathering, lounging on a couch, or floor, or lap. When she gets worked up, she gets a need to wander, and HATES being cooped up for too long. Recently found out she has a rather large family she never knew, and is testing the waters, but typically playful to them.
Serious times, or the need of her Scarecrow persona, get a much different, much more bestial Ras, who is not afraid to go to work at a moment's notice.

Favorite drinks: Vodka, Berenjager, pumpkin lattes
Favorite food: Pumpkin spice flavored ANYTHING-pie, ice cream, muffins. Very rare meat.

Wow... this ended up longer than I anticipated it would. <_< Ah well, that's what happens with a character who you've had over 2 years of working with/on, eh?
