A yearling of average height, Alyx marries the long-legged beauty of her mother to the lean endurance of her father, producing an attractive young she-wolf whose figure is as alluring as her coat. She has a longer tail and shorter ears than the average wolf. She possesses black points, neck, belly, and saddle like a wolverine, while the rest of her fur blooms with warm golden tones. Her eyes are burnt orange. There is a thin, ragged scar across her throat from a cougar where it injured her larynx, which may explain the quiet yet rasping quality of her voice.
