Appearance(s):
Pure waves of white silk blend into curls of silver and cloudy grey, evenly distributed throughout thick lupine arctic coat. Gems of near translucent blue reflect the icy world from whence she hails, reminiscent of crystal in the sunlight. Fluffy silvery ruff is strangely soft and comforting, whilst the rest of her fur is thick, but more prickly than soft. Long, slender form moves fluidly with the grace of a dancer, pointing to a talented history. She stands at about 28" at the shoulder, and weighs in (when well-fed and in good health) at around 108 lbs.
A larger, yet streamlined version of her lupus form, Ailbhe's halfling form is certainly nothing to laugh at. Massive, thick ruff trails from the back of thickened neck to stronger shoulder blades. Rippling musculature is evident in all four thickened limbs, while a more powerful bite offers itself in the form of a stronger, less slim maw and more obvious canines. Longer, retractable claws of cloudy grey are far better adept for slicing and digging into the earth than their Lupine counterparts, while pristine sterling paws are larger and easier to spread across more surface area. Icy orbs brighten into a near white color, staring coldly at those who oppose the power of this magnificent beast. In this form, Ailbhe is about 34" at the shoulder, and weighs in at around 155 lbs.
Upon shifting to Optime form, Ailbhe's look refines into one of a lovely lady. Silvery mane lengthens and drapes down to just above supple hips, streaks of sky blue announcing their presence in a soft, yet forward way amidst the shades of white and silver. Wolven cranium lacks any bangs or upper 'hair style'- only the mane from behind cream cored harks acts as a sort of 'hair'. This can be easily styled with dextrous silver fingers, deep brown paw pads still evident despite this more human look. Ailbha refrains from wearing clothing in this form, though she is well-versed in other human products, such as mirrors, paintbrushes, and other items deemed 'beauty products'. While dabbling as an Optime, this snowy lady is about 6'6" tall from hind-paw to ear, somewhat short in comparison to most Luperci, and weighs in at about 190 lbs.

---------------------------
Very helpful and playful female. She will do whatever it takes to help a pack mate, and is very determined to succeed as either a craftswoman, or as a dance instructor. She tends to think of practicing and working as fun games, being far more playful while dancing than she would on the street. Ailbhe loves to make use of her jumping abilities, and though she is longer than most in lupine form, she can stand, balanced near perfectly, upon a comrade's shoulders in Optime form.
This sweet white female is slightly short-fused, and will not hesitate to tear into anyone that threatens her or her friends. As such, she is not usually very kind towards outsiders, and they often have to explain their reasons for being in her terra in a maximum of 5 seconds before she will be upon them, fangs loosed. She can be very difficult to command as such- if an outsider approaches without permission, she may be on them before someone else can say no, completely disregarding any former orders.
Ailbhe tends to be very protective of her friends and pack mates, and will stop at nothing to help any of them if they are in need. She chased a close friend of hers, Ormyl, from the Quartz Shoreline to the Halcyon Mountains simply to attempt to calm down the frightened and emotionally burdened male.
Overall, she is a kind, caring soul, and many know of her simply for this trait.
