Appearance
~ ☀ ~
though quite standard compared to most, nymph was the beauty of her homeland ; a pale pelt with rich, dark brown eyes that turned golden like honey as the light hit. once upon a time, she might've been a symbol for her people – an empress, some could say. her fur indicated health, prosperity, and royalty when she was but a pup.
however, now, all it reminds her of is how she let her pride worm its way into her head. though she was beautiful on the outside, she had a long way to go when it came to her morals ; her values, twisted and disgusting, needed to be corrected. in punishment from the gods above, nymph's pelt has become matted and torn. once beautifully sleek and well-groomed, now a mess, tangled like roots.
History
~ ☾ ~
once a woman of great wealth, prosperity and fame, nymph was cursed with power at a young age. having her parents both assassinated when she was merely a yearling, and with no one else in line for the throne, nymph was forced to up-hold her kingdoms legacy, even though she was but a child.
fed whispers and lies by the very man that was supposed to be her advisor, nymph's kingdom became divided. those of healthier, paler pelts were given opportunities that those of richer pelts were not. they were considered noble ; royalty, even. the kingdom turned on her and, eventually, they casted her out of what was once her home. her advisor snaked his way into kingship, ordering that nymph be killed on site if seen anywhere near the castle walls.
now, she has woken up here, neck sore with a brand new scar stretching across it.
