Species: Mutt: 1/2 Mutari, 1/4 Pard, 1/8 both Curantis and Custos
Appearance
Hair Color: white blonde (more white than blonde during summer)
Hair Style: waist length, loosely curly, normally worn loose or in a long braid
Eyes: violet like her father and maternal grandmother
Complexion: creamy, with just a few freckles where her skin gets exposed to sun regularly (she burns badly if she doesn’t use sunscreen)

Personality
Friendly and outgoing, not quite cheerleader level, loves everybody until proven otherwise that she shouldn’t, loyal and caring almost to a fault. She is also more than a little spazzy, obsessive and oblivious at times which she gets from both her parents, though neither will fess up to it being their genes that made her that way.
The Supernatural Bit
Were creatures
Genome (true or virus): True
Beast Name: Flurry
Faction: Pard
Moon Phases/Classification: Full/hunter
Pack: Cedar Valley Pard
Beast Disposition: 4-5; Flurry is the quiet, reserved side to Lani. She prefers to hunt alone, and run alone, but she won’t push for either unless she has been denied for way too long.
Beast Form: On the large side for a snow leopard female, but very lean. With her, looks truly can be deceiving and many of her Pard members (and family members) have mistaken her lean form to indicate weakness. In this form only, Lani’s violet eyes change to a piercing crystal blue.
Hybrid Form: While in this form, Lani looks like a cross between her snow leopard self, and either her human or Curantis side. Her eyes are still the piercing blue of Flurry’s, and while she doesn’t have any of the leopard’s fur, she does have the white w/black spots coloring over a good portion of her body along with a furry tail and claws. Her wings may or may not be present depending on what the other half of her hybrid form happens to be at the time.
Curantis/Custos
Deity: Artemis
Faction: a warrior for her goddess
Ethereal Form: Her Curantis side is dominant, though the color of her wings might not make it look that way, they are black and feathered with a violet sheen to them when the light hits them just right.
Mutari
Bloodline: Ignis
Innate Power: fire
Infected at age: birth (both Mutari and pard)
Contagion: genetics
Basic History
Parents: Saiyuri & Dominic with Thiery as stepfather (married to Saiyuri) and Lysander as some sort of uncle/stepfather (Dominic’s lover)
Siblings: Sebastian and Gareth (step brothers), Brielle (adopted sister), Shayleigh & Olivia, Zachariah & Zayne (half siblings), Kincade (Lysander’s son), Larkin (Dominic's son), Ruri (Lysander & Saiyuri's daughter)
Close Friends: Rowan and her mass of siblings
Significant Other: Gareth earlier in her life (though only Lysander and Gareth knew), Sean later in life.
Children: Maya & triplets with Sean (eventually) and a baby boy with Gareth that didn't make it (Gavin Michael)
Interests/Hobbies: hiking and exploring castles and ruins, photography, running, terrorizing her family members
Education:
-College:
--Major: Business
--Minor: Ancient History
Intelligence: book smart when she focuses, artistic
Occupation: running a gift shop near a castle
Place of Residence: grew up in Cedar Valley, WA in the US. As an adult, she makes her home in London, England, and somewhere near the border of Scotland and England when she needs to “get away”.
History
The pregnancy that resulted in Lani was definitely planned, just the timing wasn’t. It didn’t matter though as her parents were happily married. Or, at least, they had been until her mother’s family scared her father off the day of her birth.
For the first 2 months or so of Lani’s life, she was raised primarily by her mother, Saiyuri, her “aunty” Ayda, and Saiyuri’s family. Just before she hit 3 months old (and looked like a one year old thanks to her increased rate of development from her mess of genetics), a man came into her mother’s life and soon he and his boys became a permanent fixture in Lani’s life as well.
By the time Lani’s biological father, Dominic, got his nerves settled and things straight in his head (in regards to Saiyuri’s family), Lani was nearing 4 months old. He came back to wife and child and was asked by Saiyuri for a divorce as she had found a man that could handle her insane family, and had been there for her and Lani when he hadn’t been.
So it was that Saiyuri and Thiery got together and Lani wound up with a step-father and two step-brothers, the twins Sebastian and Gareth. They would be the first of many siblings for Lani. Some months later, Lani also wound up with a second step-father figure in her life: Lysander. Lysander’s attachment to her father, while not considered normal by most of society’s standards, didn’t bother Lani at all. In fact, she adored the other mutari almost more than either Dominic or Thiery.
While her early years were a bit chaotic, they didn’t phase Lani at all. Not much could really as she was commonly following after her mutari/tiger/Custos cousin Rowan and the antics/trouble the two of them got into tended to block out most everything else in her life. Except for Uncle L’s “sketti” (spaghetti) that is. Just the mention of that food, made by that person, could always get Lani’s attention.
Like her cousin, and her siblings, Lani was home schooled as a youngster. Not because Saiyuri and Thiery didn’t want her in public schools (would have saved them countless headaches) but because Lani as a child had little control over her tail and other aspects of her heritage. Having wings pop out during recess, or setting her desk on fire if she couldn’t figure out a math problem, just wouldn’t cut it. Once she was in middle school and high school, Lani attended a private school for the Arts. It gave her plenty of opportunities to put her excess energy to use, and taught her to focus her (overly) creative mind on good things instead of trouble for her and Rowan to cause…
Just after graduation, Lani joined a traveling theatre group that was destined for England and various points beyond. Also in the group, was her older step brother Gareth. Since the spring break prior to her graduation, the pair had been darn near inseparable though nobody knew why. They all suspected it was because they were both planning on going with the theatre group to England, and they were partially right. The other part was that on that spring break they had taken a trip, with Rowan and their other siblings, and the two had finally indulged in their curiosities regarding the strange attraction they’d had for each other for a while.
The trip to England was great for the pair for a while. Their theatre group was doing well, and so was Lani and Gareth’s budding relationship. The first bit was rocky, due to some changes Gareth was going through, but eventually things smoothed out. Before too long though, Lani and Gareth were faced with something they hadn’t planned on at all. Lani was pregnant. Both of them were excited, and scared as most new parents-to-be are. Unlike most new parents-to-be, they were terrified to tell their family, after all they were step-siblings. So, instead of telling their blood relatives, Lani called Lysander and told him. After all, he’d caught the two making out one time while they were visiting he and Dominic right before they left for England. He hadn’t told their parents about that incident so she knew she could trust him with the latest development. She also informed him that the two of them planned to get married after the baby came and before they returned home to Cedar Valley so that it would be too late for any of the family to say/do anything about it.
Unfortunately Lani made a heartbroken call 6 months after her first call and told Lysander she’d lost the baby. Apparently the cord had gotten tied in a knot and the baby had died two months before it was due to arrive. The baby was a boy that they named Michael Tobin after one of Gareth’s grandfathers and Lani’s maternal step-grandfather. After that devastating turn of events, Lani and Gareth just couldn’t reconcile with each other. Lani blamed herself for the loss and Gareth just wanted to take her home where her mother and grandmother could comfort her. Lani didn’t want to go home and “face” their family though and she refused to return even though Gareth bought both of them plane tickets home. When the plane left, only one of those tickets got used and it wasn’t Lani’s.
Having decided to stay in England to make her way, Lani enrolled in a University there and got her business degree. And because she loved exploring the ancient castles that were all within driving distance, Lani majored in Ancient History. Now, the Ancient History minor may not have been overly useful (except to fulfill her personal curiosity) but her studies in business helped out right away in finding her a job. It may not have been her ideal job, as Lani truly hated dumb tourists, but helping run a gift store near one of the many castles paid her bills. It was a completely different field than she’d ever been interested in as a child but as she was looking to start her life over, she found the change refreshing.
While she was still in school, and surprisingly shortly after Gareth left, Lani became friends with the man she would later marry and have children with. Sean, a wolven, lived in the same city she did and frequented the same places she did (when not at school or work), and they just kept running into each other. Eventually the two of them realized that they’d be good for each other and they decided to have a relationship, and later get married. Only, poor Sean, he never knew just who the dark haired man he’d always seen Lani with (before they got involved) was. Nor did he realize that the first child he and Lani made together wouldn’t be her first…
