;; fundamentals

nickname;; Ko, KoKo

sexual orientation;; Straight.

Canon;;Yes.
Species ;; Shifter.
;; appearance
general;;
Koda has long, black hair that falls almost to her slender waist in two points. It has jagged layers down the side, giving it a feathery appearance. Around her face, she has straight layers, giving her hair some volume, though some incorrectly call it a mullet. Her side fringe has, in recent weeks, grown down over her eye and slid out of it's side position somewhat, leaving her with a wayward spiky fringe. One particularly long strand occasionally flops out of place and partially obscures her left eye (both of which are an odd but pretty blue-green.) Oh well, she loves it. In general, her mane of long black hair is adorned with a bow or two, usually a bright colour or white to contrast her dark hair. That, and to keep unruly strands back out of her face.
Her father, from the Makah Rez, hasn't got the russet skin of the Quileutes, so as a result Koda is very pale. She's built at a medium height, if slightly on the shorter side (growing now that she's started phasing) and naturally skinny (not that she's complaining), with long legs and a cute, pixie style face (featuring a small nose, full lips, and high cheekbones). Generally, Koda wears a thick, Cleopatra-like eyeliner and black or silver eyeshadow, shocking against her creamy skin. Well, creamy where she hasn't put a touch of blush on. Just done with boredom, usually, but oh well. She has long elfin fingers, that are irritatingly tipped with long fingernails, and thin legs. This does give her the advantage of being the fastest, like her mother once was.
When it comes to clothing, Koda casts a wide net in style. For some reason she tends to go with the Scene Queen look, ragged tights and short dresses. Or, much to her father's dismay, midriff tops. But when she knows she'll be phasing, it's usually just black and white T-shirt with black jeans.
Her Canine Self
When Koda phases, she takes the form of a large grey and white wolf. She has a white jaw and chin that extends to her underbelly and the inside of her legs, though she has a grey ruff around her neck. Her muzzle has russet streaks that darken to a grey below her eyes, and the grey encircles the top of her head, and her ears. The rest of her coat is a slightly lighter shade of grey, that lightens even further to her underbelly.
favorite;;
She loves her pale skin, it makes her unique amongst the other shifters.
Her hair, too - she likes that it's feathery and jagged at the same time, it sums her up too - if you think about it.
If we're counting animal forms, she loves her face, with it's white, russet, and grey.
hate;;
That she's not exactly tall.. she's not short, but she's smaller than the other werewolves.
Her long fingernails. they just keep growing, which she loathes, because they get in the way.
heritage;;
Quileute.
ethnicity;;
Caucasian, sort of.
;; personality
general;;
Koda is an incredibly bubbly and outgoing young girl. She has a brilliant, if occasionally odd, sense of humour, and her presence often brightens some bleak situations. She is enthusiastic and bright, generally quick-thinking (if it's after 7am in the morning) and generally fun to be around. However, she does have a good sense of determination - borderline on the obsessively stubborn side of things, that can occasionally get her into trouble and earn her a few enemies. Oh well. Koda's the type who isn't particularly bothered by who likes her - if they don't, they're not worth knowing anyway. Despite this demeanor, Koda is capable of being extremely empathic and sympathetic, well able to listen to other's problems. In short, Koda is paradoxically bubbly and sympathetic, stubborn and sympathetic.
The young Clearwater also has quite a temper - understandable, as she explodes into a giant wolf whenever she gets pissed off. Her stubborn streak occasionally leads to her temper, the pair feeding off eachother. Much like her mother, Koda is quite capabale of being heavily sarcastic and bitter, and holds grudges for quite some time. if you were to sumamrise her to a few sentences, it would be something like 'Koda is a young, enthusiastic (occasionally hyperactive) teen with the usual temper for one of her age group. Despite this, couple with her stubborn streak, Koda is a fun individual with a good sense of humour and high spirits.'.
hobbies;;
- Running, both in her human and vaguely more canine form.
- Koda loves hanging out in Seattle, when she's not called on by the Pack.
- Phasing is, oddly, her favourite pastime. Not as an escape route, but because she loves the speed and freedom of it.
- Singing, though she never took lessons or music classes. Just something she does when no one else is around.
- Koda will spend quite a large amount of her time cooking, too, though it may seem unlikely. Not healthy stuff, mind you, she tends to make cupcakes and the like. It takes her mind off stuff. And as she's a vegetarian, she frequently cooks her own food.
dislikes;;
- When the Alpha gives orders.
- Vampire stench, though she's adopted her Uncles view on the Cullens. She has no problem with them.
- Needles. She has a mild phobia of them.
- Maths (She's more a Science girl.)
- Jazz music.
- Carrots. She hates them. They're so.. orange, and weird. Annoying, because she's vegetarian.
- Isolation for long periods of time.
likes;;
- Being in wolf form
- Running, in either form.
- Singing
- Being with her friends or the pack (one and the same).
- Shopping, but she's not obsessive about it.
- Birds - the way they fly is pretty to her.
- Rain, she loves the way it feels on her skin.
Fears;;
- One of the Pack being killed.
- Needles.
- The Volturi will come to take out the Pack.
Secrets;;
- She became a vegetarian at the age of 11, and only because she had to kill a chicken and hated it.
- She doesn't mind the Cullens that much, from what she's heard.
- She used to like Hello Kitty.
;; origins
general;;
Koda Leigh Clearwater hasn't had the most eventful of lives, just your average teenage werewolf in short. Her mother was Leah Clearwater, the first recorded female werewolf. Koda was born to the aforementioned Leah Clearwater and a guy from the Makah Rez, Steve Reatra. She's the younger sibling, with a 16 year old brother whom she looks up to very much (No further information till other sibling claimed). And so Koda grew up normally, going to the Quileute school near the beach and making friends due to her sunny disposition. Her mother never told her about the wolf legacy, not until she phased for the first time. So Koda remained in blissful oblivion (only she doesn't agree with the blissful part) until she was 15.
When she was fourteen, Koda 'acquired' a boyfriend. Now this was just the usual teenager fling sort of affair, with very little serious intent behind it. But it was still a source of great fury to Koda's combustible temper when she heard the rumours her supposed boyfriend was spreading. Petty stuff, declaring her to be a very *friendly* person poser and other such degrading stuff of little consequence. But Koda got home without phasing, and her mother asked her what was wrong, which was when Koda, unable to express her rage, exploded. Well, it was rather inevitable, with her bloodlines. Pedigree, her mother had once sarcastically called it.
Since then Koda's been an active member of the Pack, happily taking on extra patrols when she isn't in school. She loves it, because she has extra people to be around and talk with, and she dearly loves the sense of family she feels when around them. She's been a werewolf for three months now, and unlike a few of the others, Koda doesn't resent it at all.

sample;;
It's with Kai from another site, who is a werewolf. Is that okay?
Kai sang along with the words,tapping the bread knife on the granite bench top in time with the easy beat.This made finishing off her sandwich rather difficult so,still singing,she picked up the plate of bread and dumped it in front of her rather enthusiastic German Shepherd.Having disposed of the 'evidence' Kai slid over to the fridge in her socks,yanking open the door.Her hazel eyes roved over the contents of the heartily stocked fridge,shaking back her shock of vibrantly red and orange hair to better hunt down her 'prey.'Gotcha.Her hand flew up and she snagged a wrapped dish of pasta,spinning away from the fridge,letting the door slide closed of it's own accord.It was only the bench that stopped her as she spiralled across the laminated floor of the kitchen,catching herself against it.Pulling open the microwave door Kai slid the dish in and set it to 3 minutes on medium.As she continued to sing she grabbed a knife off the bench,only noticing that it was the blade which she was gripping when it tore into her skin.several obscenities later she wincingly opened her palm to wash the blood off,the blood that had seemingly come from nowhere.Though,she had to admit that part was pretty cool.That was,pretty cool,alongside the whole shape-shifting thing,and the speed,and the strength.d**nit,everything was pretty cool.
The microwave beeped.Bopping along,Kai moved back to the insistent machine,pushing her escapist hair out of her eyes.Opening the door she picked out the plate,peeling back the foil and prodding the hot food with a fork.About seven bites later,her head flew up,causing her to drop the fork with a loud clatter onto the floor.The dog got to it,not that she particularly cared.Of in the distance,the familiar woods surrounding La Push,was a clear and tenacious howling.Not your average Doberman,something bigger.And 'wild'.Kai pulled a face and stood,pulling her shirt over her head and her tracksuits off.The underwear,she'd just get more.The heat spread from her stomach to all her limbs,flooding them,the air starting to vibrate around her.reality fractured,spinning away from your normality.The large auburn wolf stood in the kitchen,but not for long-she'd fled to the backyard,jumped the fence,and jetted into the woods.There was a sarcastic edge to her thoughts.Guys,this had soo better be good.I was eating.The wolf rumbled quietly,almost a whine.She'd been hungry,too.Bit of a pity.
Her paws thudded against the leaf litter,the twigs snapping beneath her weight.Everything was magnified.The forest was just a rush of brown,green,and grey,but Kai could hear and smell everything!A blue jay to her left,a mouldy sandwich to her north-east.God knows what that was doing there.After the first few moments,Kai reluctantly slowed and let her mind surge into the link between them.She was the furthest away,the most newly phased too,by the sounds of it.Her brother wasn't phased in,wherever the hell he was.Kai halted after a gradual deceleration,shaking her massive head to clear the incoherent whirl of memory from it.Then she checked her left hind-oh good,she had tied her clothes to it.That would've been rather..awkward.To say the least.She was distracted by Jacob's errant thought.Kai,that's not called awkward,that's called a treat for us guys.The auburn wolf,though she was further away,rolled her eyes and her tongue lolled over her jaws.Don't you wish,hmm?
