At a Glance
Everest holds back just a bit and isn't the first one to make a move in any situation. While she falls under the Shrinking Violet trope, Everest carries herself with a little less confidence than most, but not to such a degree that she would be taken advantage of. Her eye movements are more frequent as they try to take in a scene much more in depth than someone normally would. A behavioral pattern which that is extremely automatic. She can't help it. Once Everest settles in, her body language changes to be more open and receptive, and perhaps even curious to explore and discover more, with regard in still protecting her secrets.
Profile of Everest: Details
Appearance
Everest's coat has shades of earthy brown and copper reds swept in the middle of creams and blacks, creating a blanket that covered her from nose to tail. In the winter when her coat becomes thicker, the colors become more vibrant and darken. Soft shades of cream and white cover her underbelly, legs, throat, and chest to contrast against the dark. Bright apple green eyes glisten brightly in brighter lighting situations. When the sun hit shines just right, it's easy to see dark emerald weaving through the brighter apple green in her eyes.
One unique feature in Everest's appearance is a small, copper red spot on the right side of her muzzle, no bigger than a two-inch diameter stone plucked from a riverbed. It was perfectly set under her right eye and just in front of her cheek. Everest calls it her birthmark and while initially she is very shy and embarrassed because she doesn't look "perfect", she appreciates that it's there since she's not like anyone else.
Standing at 30 inches tall, Everest seems bigger than most female wolves of her age, but she blames it on genetics. Most of which she says were from her father, Ryusk. While not exactly looking like someone focused on their muscular build, Everest had the strength and ability to hold her own, should it become necessary. On the opposite end of the pendulum, much of her physical beauty and attraction came from her mother. Everest is very feminine even though her body may seem more masculine presenting, outwardly.

Personality
Initially: Shrinking Violet · I Just Want To Have Friends · Developed over RP: Act of True Love & No One Gets Left Behind
Everest was never popular and was instead kicked around like a rock in the pathway. Considered nothing more than an annoyance to most, Everest spends most of her days alone and by herself since no one really wants to be around her anyway, in her mind. She hates herself and her insecurities, but she's not without independence and an understanding that she must take care of herself - period. While she is the type to look for approval from others, there are moments of success that boosts her self-confidence even if they're fleeting. For example, when she can successfully hunt for herself and not have to rely on someone else to catch prey for her. Rabbits and squirrels are mostly what she challenges herself on.
When Everest is not feeling shy and quiet, her more explorative and adventurous side comes out. Everest likes to go to places she's never been or talk to someone who has similar interests and hobbies. Her personality tends to shine brightly when she can talk about something she is knowledgeable in and has a passion for. One such topic is the weather. She likes to watch the skies and try to predict the weather. Over time, her confidence has grown as her predictions prove true more frequently. Everest thrives on experiencing something new and developing an emotional attachment to that moment. That's her way of confirming that she is a living, breathing thing in this existence and not some deadweight unworthy of life, as her previous "companions" have told her before.
A massive secret that Everest keeps to herself is that she has a fascination with nature and how things work on a spiritual level. Everest is a Shrinking Violet because of this reverence to nature and her place in it. Many of the wolves she's encountered in her history thought it weird or "evil" for her to gather plant related things together in different shapes and meditate. Everest called it "respecting nature and paying homage" while others called it "casting spells". Different seasons carried different energies in Everests mind, and so she lived and behaved in different ways to match the elements during some of her plant-based crafting. Occasionally, these crafts included animal parts. All of this practice resulted in Everest becoming easily intimidated after mounding peer pressure broke her down. As a result, her former companions were able to know what plant was the most toxic and used it against someone she cared about. Everest has ever since carried that weight of guilt with her and has yet to rid herself of it.

Biography
Everest was born into a pack that had pretty dogmatic views on their place in the world. Anything that didn't fit into their views was cast out like a disease. You either fit into the mold or you didn't. Being a rather important Alpha's daughter meant that any expectation the alpha had of their pack members was then multiplied ten-fold. If you let him down, you may as well sacrifice yourself in ritual seppuku. The first year of Everest's life was uneventful, though she never was as important as her brother Rolan. Being the spectacle and heir of the family, Rolan had massive shoes to fill and weight on his shoulders. He dared not disappoint his father in <i>any</i> capacity should he expect to remain at home and in his father's good graces.
Everest's mother, Avana, was mated to her father, Ryusk, and had much more patience for her daughter than Ryusk had. While Ryusk lacked the emotional intelligence to be a fairly decent father, he at least had a strong amount of protection and loyalty to his family. Even with his extreme expectations of performance and behavior. Avana was much more forgiving because of her relaxed upbringing. Ryusk was raised in a more militant style of childhood, which resulted in him acting more like an army commander than a father.
Most of Everest's life was surrounded by constant "ladyship" training and education. Everything from mannerisms to speech was taught, ridiculed, corrected, and taught again until she could be a breathing representation of the noble queen her mother was. Even with all of her mother's patience, Everest was still not good enough. When Avana's patience ran out, her coldness was like winter's bitter kiss. Avana became cold, sharp tongued, and demeaning. Perhaps it was her mate's sharp expectations that changed her overtime. Whatever the case may be, the family home was not as nurturing or warm as it should have been.
This level of dysfunction forced Everest to look for happiness elsewhere, outside of the pack boundaries even. When she was released from her education and ladyship duties, Everest sought solitude out in nature. The world outside of pack boundaries was different, new, and it engaged her mind. All of her bad memories seemingly faded away, and her inner child could exist and roam freely. In the quietest of spaces in the forest, Everest was able to teach herself about meditation and would gather plant items as "offerings" to the spaces she frequented most as a thank you gift, paying homage to the fleeting moments of peace she was able to collect for herself. These fleeting moments made it possible for Everest to live another wretched day, praying for her eventual freedom.
After she turned two years old, Ryusk began turning his attention to Everest's sexual maturity, and preparing her to be a mate to a nearby pack to establish positive relations. The coldness of her mother had continued to grow, eventually leaving no room for warmth and nurturing now that Everest was of age. Whispers of her meditation and ritual practices had spread itself through the pack, making her subject to extreme bullying and harassment by almost everyone in the pack. She was not like the others, and questions began to rise against Ryusk about the raising of his strange daughter, and why she was acting so odd. Even her brother Roland, who held her in high regard, was turning face for his fathers favor and to avoid having a target on his back. The harassment slowly began to turn into moments of domination, resulting in submission from Everest and her very being beginning to fracture. Ryusk even assigned someone to be her escort and monitor all of her activities. This escort took pity and would find special moments to allow her a brief escape so she could be alone. To make things worse for Ryusk, the escort happened to be an unknowingly "bad influence" by teaching her about weather and deepening her connection to the natural world spiritually. He also was a great mentor, a sounding board, and would often provide insight into her situation and helpful advice. Eventually, his influence stirred within her the confidence to leave in the middle of the night, and to not look back.
Everest couldn't tell how far she had been running, or in what direction she traveled. All she knew was that she ran until she couldn't run anymore. The number of suns she saw pass in the sky was way over ten, and it would take just as many for any of her pack to find her. Coming to stop in an open valley, Everest felt that it was safe enough to rest, even if it was just for an hour. Perhaps this new land she was in, with the vastly new smells, would be something more welcoming and nurturing than what she left behind. A sense of guilt remained with her, however, that she could just abandon her duties like that, let alone her family. Had she made the right choice? Was she a horrible person? A quick glance looking back in the direction she came from made her realize just how far she potentially had traveled. Well, there's no going back now is there?
