Torindra Chelfor"Hahahahaha you see them too, don't you? No?"Nicknames: Tori
Age: 36, appears about the same
Gender: Female
Species: Werewolf (Turned)
Quite tall for a woman, six feet. Has a very drawn-thin frame, with gangly arms and legs and oversized hands and feet. Her features are sharp, almost pinched, and her clear eyes are a very bright emerald green and sharp. Tori's hair is a natural shade of extremely pale blonde, almost white, but she dyes it occasionally anywhere from golden blonde to a deep coppery red. Pale, smooth, almost papery skin. Has the tiniest of freckles that fan across her body in Blaschko's lines. Choppy straight hair that falls down to her chin. Dressing is an odd mix, as she likes to wear slightly oversized and exaggeratedly tailored suits, with ties. Shoes vary, anywhere from sneakers to men's dress shoes to heels and large pumps. Since the war, obviously, sneakers and men's dress shoes are more practical.

Phase: Credas (Waning)
Calling: Infection's Calling
Pack: Kahlite
Rank: Kappa
Gift: Empathy
Gift Description: As an Empath, Tori is mildly able to sense basic emotions broadcasted from others. She has subconsciously put up mental shields to dull this ability, but it does appear to be stronger than she knows. When she gets extremely drunk, the shields start to slip and she tends to learn more. She has no idea how to control this Gift.
Wolf Form
When Shifted, Torindra is small, and frail. Her body shows the same abuse that her human form does -- she doesn't eat enough, she doesn't groom herself. Her fur is unkempt, and patchy. Her fur's main colour is a pale cream, with rich brown markings that follow an unusual pattern. Her ears and tail are overly large.

* likes; Cigarettes, hard drugs, dreamless sleep, clubs, suits, confusing people, swearing
* dislikes; Dresses, dark alleys, tight clothes, slow people, being sober, being startled, being in quiet places, loud noises
* strengths; Calculating, quick-thinker, inordinately good with numbers
* weaknesses; Has paranoid delusions, grumpy personality, doesn't get along well with others, chainsmokes, takes drugs (what she can find) to keep delusions away, doesn't like fighting (even though she'll threaten someone if she's on withdrawals) and is physically weak.
* personality; Tori is rather good with numbers, and analytical, when she's completely sober. However, given that almost never happens, she will either be high/drunk and snarkily amused or passed out, or she will be a grumpy bitch who's sucking on her cigarettes for dear life.
Apart from her Gift, Tori also suffers from a complete lack of empathy. Even with her Gift, she does not understand or care about the emotions that are coming from others, except in how they relate to her. She has no self-preservation instincts or feelings, yet is a complete coward. In any combat situation she would be completely worthless, because she would let herself be killed.

Torindra was working on the college staff in the accountant department before the war, and had done very well at keeping her disability and habits a secret from the other staff. As far as they knew, she was just a very grumpy chain-smoker who was an absolute genius with books of numbers. Canada was good to her, the softer restrictions on drugs helped. Although she had found that marijuana and shrooms, the extremely popular generic "recreational drugs" only made her delusions worse.
When the war broke out, and then the plague after that, it got much, much harder to get the fix and the peace that she needed. That is how she found herself wandering the campus forests one night, suffering extreme hallucinations. Her sire, a wolf of no particular importance, could not resist his Calling at the sight of this helpless prey stumbling through the woods. He dragged her back to the medical building of the college after she'd been maimed, and let them care for her.
Two weeks later she was out in the woods again, unable to resist the moon's call. She posed no threat to the pack upon transformation, a small, timid wolf who could hardly distinguish the wolves in front of her. At first, she thought they were hallucinations.
Very quickly, her bookkeeping abilities were learned, and she was put in charge of supplies. Feeling that it was safe to trust the Alpha, due to her new instincts and her undiscovered gift, Torindra was all too happy to fall in with the pack and follow the alpha.
Ari Seaver found her a few days after his addition to the pack, suffering one of her spells, and for whatever reason, he and his father were assigned to her.. "Keep Tori out of trouble for a week. And sober." Sadly, it was a fairly often assigned task. Whether she was going to stumble out off the pack grounds in hallucination or try and force her way into the medical department to steal some tranqs, Tori always needed looking after. Most were too impatient with her to do it.
But they managed, somehow, and Ari was truly concerned about her well-being, not used to dealing with crazies. The genuine emotion touched her, so she latched onto the boy, and his father, as lifelines.
After Serove left with Callisto and Ari to form his own pack, Torindra spiraled downward in a collection of paranoia, alcohol, and depression. Her insomnia grew worse, as did her alcoholism. Eventually, the pack decided that it would be best if she were helped through the withdrawal process, or her drinking would kill her.
When the Vanguard attacked, all of her worst schizophrenic nightmares had come true. Torindra hid under a table in the back of The Pit, and did not come out until the whole thing was done. She is currently suffering from massive schizophrenic paranoia, extreme alcohol withdrawals, as well as empathic overload. The shock to her system has triggered her empathy into overtime, forcing over the subconscious barrier she created.

Suffers from schizophrenic paranoid delusions, was secretly using hard drugs before the war and the plague to keep the delusions away. Currently an alcoholic, as the drug trade has all but dried up. Does not touch marijuana, which has managed to survive the war due to its ease of growth and popularity with the general populace, as compared to other harder drugs. Shrooms are absolutely out of the question, all that's left are tranquilizers from the med staff, and alcohol. Also a heavy user to drown out her Calling, as she is extremely pacifistic and is terrified of attacking anyone, even humans. Relied on Serove and his son to tell her what's real and what's not. Did extra bookwork for Serove's mechanics to make up for him taking care of her. Usually slept wherever Serove or Ari were spending the night, now she is a complete insomniac mess.
