Profile of RIP Dawa: Details
Appearance
Dawa is a tiny and inconspicuous thing. She is barely even a wolf by many standards; unable to grow more than she has, with a pointed but short muzzle, ears that are slightly too big for her head, and markings that are closer to <i>coyote</i> in origin that <i>wolf</i>. Her body has been stuck in a state of ruin since her yearling stage, and her eyes are a pearly white thanks to infection.
<p>
<b>Recent:</b> Bruises and some lacerations on the lower back; tail tip which has been crushed and is becoming necrotic.</small>
Personality
Dawa has always had a personality glitch, more or less, and it has made it difficult for her to make any real connections to individuals. This disorder has always been a part of her, and it has been evident ever since her creation - there is an undeniable lack of emotion within the woman. She does not appear to feel anything, for surely she does not. Dawa hold zero understanding for the emotions of others. She cannot identify them, and she cannot feel them. There is a disconnect between her and her family, her pack and travelling companions, which cannot be corrected.
<BR><BR>
To speak to her of dreams would be as foolish as to speak to a goldfish about running through a forest; there is absolutely nothing there for her to bring to the table, to share or understand. This predicament is made worse when one considers her <i>other</I> disorder; a far more physical one, brought on by her previous life experience and exacerbated by this inability to feel.
<BR><BR>
<i>Allodynia</i> is characterized by the sensation of pain during a situation when an individual, in this case Dawa, should not feel it. Her entire body - anywhere that there is skin, and precious, confused nerve endings, there is pain. She has a high pain tolerance due to being subjected to the sensation at regular, uncontrollable intervals. It is most potent when she is around strangers, and so she has become a complete recluse. Her sense of touch is prized above many things, so she is very reserved when it comes to physical contact.
Biography
Raised in her home of Jokhang, a large pack that was made up of smaller factions - individual groups that held a speciality, and helped to create a cohesive unit. There were the volatile warriors, the front line of assault for their power-hungry leader, who charged in to battle with neighbouring packs in order to drive out threats and assimilate any survivors; contrasting to these fiendish beasts of mayhem and destruction were the civilians of the pack. The monks, who refused to practice violence unless it was necessary, such as for providing for the hungry, and the clerics. These devoted women were just as passive as the monks, and held quite an esteemed level of knowledge when it came to herbs and remedies.
<BR><BR>
Dawa was raised amongst the healing women of the pack, and followed in her adoptive mother's path in order to become a capable healer. As an apprentice she was taken in to the dangerous outskirts of the territory, and often did her duty without issue. These excursions were not done alone; the true clerics were with her, in case she encountered something new. On one fateful day, a man swept in to their gathering circle and ruined her entire life. Dawa's adoptive mother was slaughtered before her eyes, as were the others, leaving the girl to be the last target for the mad man known as <i>the Dragon</i>, Raheerah. He was caught only because she did not scream; it wasn't that she couldn't feel the pain, for she felt every little thing he did to her - but her apparent strength and inability to submit kept her alive, and brought him to justice.
<BR><BR>
When Dawa was found, the warriors felt no pity for her. They assumed that she was as good as dead anyway, with all the injuries she had sustained; but it was the monk, Yasuo Tenzin, who went to her instead. He did what he could to aid the healing process; however, as the monks were only trained in the basics of medicine, it was not enough. She was forced to fight through the pain on her own, to have her mutilated body set in to a new form entirely. Her legs became crooked in places, and her nose was off-set, leading the girl to take on a less than desirable crooked nose. The worst thing to happen in her healing process was the onset of sickness. Her body was resilient and it fought as hard as it could, eventually leading to her survival, although she woke up blind.
<BR><BR>
In an effort to help her find peace, Tenzin decided to take Dawa and find paradise, or something close to it, where she can avoid over-stimulation while searching for a cure for her disorders.
Relations
<a href="http://wolf-rpg.com/member.php?action=profile&uid=366"><b>Yasuo Tenzin</b></a> <img src="http://wolf-rpg.com/images/smilies/male.png"> &mdash; The closest thing to a father-figure that Dawa has ever had, and one of the few individuals who she trusts. He saved her, restored her to health, and now aids in her finding peace.
<Br><br>
<b><a href="http://wolf-rpg.com/member.php?action=profile&uid=365">Raheerah the Dragon</b></a> <img src="http://wolf-rpg.com/images/smilies/male.png"> &mdash; "<i>'Brug.</i>" A demon in wolf form, once seen as a prized defender of their extensive pack. Dawa is terrified of him, yet the teachings of Jokhang tell her to forgive. She pities this loathsome creature who has taken so much from her.
<br><br>
<b>Yonten Hariti</s></b> <img src="http://wolf-rpg.com/images/smilies/female.png"> &mdash; The woman who gave birth to Dawa. Once an esteemed Cleric of Jokhang, she was unlucky enough to grow sick before the birth, and succumbed to complications thereafter.
<br><br>
<b><i>Gyaltsen</i></b> <img src="http://wolf-rpg.com/images/smilies/male.png"> &mdash; A man, obviously. Dawa knows nothing about him except for a name, and the occasional rumour that he was one of the warriors of the pack. He has not been seen in her entire life, but remains her biological father.
<br><br>
<s><b>Jampa</b></s> <img src="http://wolf-rpg.com/images/smilies/female.png"> &mdash; One of the wise women of the Clerics. She was present through Yonten's training, her maturation, and the birth of Dawa. It was Jampa who decided to take the girl on as her charge. She was murdered by Raheerah.
<br><br>
Dawa also has a pair of siblings but she has never met them, nor heard anything about them. It is entirely possible that they are still alive, but too busy with their warrior duties within Jokhang to bother with her.

Profile of RIP Dawa: Additional Information
Registered on January 18, 2014, last visited February 10, 2020, 03:51 PM
Has a personality disorder which prevents her from understanding, reading, and conveying emotion. To avoid unwanted contact with the unknown, Dawa remains very reclusive. She communicates with body language primarily, and with touch, but that is reserved for very close individuals.
<p>
<b>Due to the rockslide plot</b> Dawa has gone missing from NSV. She tried to escape and hide but she was not fast enough, and was caught by some rocks. Her tail and lower body were pinned and she only escaped after pulling free, leaving a good chunk of her tail behind and fracturing some bones. (Hip joint on left side, rear legs in various places). Her movement is <b>slow and feeble</b>.
