Maryse SwiftPaw, Druid of Sage
Maryse SwiftPaw, druid of Sage Forest, fancies herself a protector of the woods. She is a Lycan by birth, and grew up learning the druid magic that allowed her to bend nature to her will when she needed it too. She also learned to summon animals, usually her fellow wolves, into battle, due to her status as a full-blooded Lycan.
When in human form, Maryse is average in height and slender in build. She has a distinct lack of any decent curves, and a graceful way of moving. Her skin is a dark tan color, rather rough to the touch due to her time spent in the sun. Her hair is long, black, and rough, often sporting many tangles and holding stray leaves and sticks from her time spent wandering the woods. Her eyes are the color of the moss that covers so many of the trees she fancies. She is beautiful, in an almost savage way.
Maryse isn't incredibly strong, but is lithe, quick, and agile, often choosing to keep moving rather than stand in one place when attacked, and choosing to summon the powers of nature and animals into her service when needed. If attacked directly, she will use her stave -- carved out of black wood and painted with vines and flowers -- as a melee weapon when she can. The stave is long, blunt on one end with a sharp blade of black metal on the other, hidden behind the painted vines and flowers.
As someone who spends most of her time in the woods, Maryse is horrible at socialization, awkward in crowds, and spends most of her time being utterly rude to those she does meet. She has it in her head that everyone is out to destroy her precious forest. When not being completely unruly, she usually stays pretty quiet and tends to stay on the sidelines. She does enjoy music, though knows nothing about it and can't really dance. While she may move gracefully through the woods, on the dance floor she's got two left feet.
She tends to come off as arrogant and cold most of the time, but is generally a warm and open-hearted individual. She's usually willing to help, if often begrudgingly. She is trained a bit in druid healing magicks, but can't do much in the way of healing and so tends to avoid it unless necessary. It's safe to say that Maryse is a bit shy, but tries to put off a tough air to intimidate and drive others off. She prefers to be alone, if she can help it, surrounded by the comfort and safety of her woods and the creatures in it.
