PHYSICALITY
Health: Healthy and alive.
► Weight: 105 lb (47 kg) when healthy // 100 lb (45 kg) when underweight
► Body Type: Mesomorph
[/font][/ul]Physique: Quartz is built with a statuesque composition, equipped with a stocky body and long toned legs. Slanted almond-shaped eyes rest atop high and sharp cheekbones, centering her slim face that is framed with elegant fluffy cheek fur and tall ears, the right slightly bent over at the tip. Her muzzle is nicely proportioned with her face and tapers down closer towards her nose and on the edge of her maw. Rows of pearly incisors align atop black gums, always kept sharp and well taken care of. A thick neck sits upon broad shoulders, and a barrel-esque abdomen that tapers to wide haunches, all contributing to her overall strength.
► Mannerisms: When deep within thought, Quartz will thump her tail in random patterns against the ground and have her brows narrowed due to the concentration felt, and in the eyes of an onlooker, it might appear as if she is glaring gravely at a wall of nothingness. She struggles with maintaining eye contact; only locking gazes with someone else for seconds before casting her eyes elsewhere.[/font][/ul]
Pelt: Quartz doesn't consider herself diverse in coloration. She bears a pristine monochrome coat accompanied with symmetrical features, embellished with various overtones of consistent contrasts of grey and white, giving her fur a cool sheen to her appearance. Despite its disheveled image, it remains undeniably soft and wispy with the false delusion of coarseness.
Disabilities: In her front right leg, the bone that connects her ankle and paw is slightly malformed and similar to her eye—she was born with it. At a young age, she accepted the idea she would grow to walk on only three legs, though managed to surmount the barriers her ankle brought. While the ankle remains fully functional, Quartz cannot nor will not risk to overdue herself in the running field. When she walks, there is an additional and insignificantly detectable bound in her step because of her ankle, and she struggles traversing over inconsistent terrain, especially when in a sprint.
Imperfections: Quartz is partially blind in her right eye—a hereditary attribute that she derived from her mother who was entirely blind in said eye. Numerous scars litter her body and for the most part, have now been concealed by her thick coat. Among all of the gashes, comparably the worst is a deep and angry scar that lies over the left shoulder blade that she acquired back in her younger years.

Staunch - Once Quartz has deemed one worthy of her attachment, the loyalty she promises is unwavering and nothing short of indestructible. True dependability is the lock that seals the bond. Devotion and affection are two flames that spark intensely towards those who Quartz sees such in. Those who are willed to earn her reverence are promised her life, protection, and will fight alongside them. However, she isn’t one to outwardly expose her fondness, typically manifesting it through gestures and body language. She only owes her loyalty to those who never made her question theirs.
Pragmatic - With a grounded intellect that doesn’t detour to believing in what it cannot perceive, Quartz’s reliance on rationality and legitimacy is nothing short of infrangible. She remains zeroed in on the pertinent details of every situation that is to confront her. She approaches every decision with a clear and sensible foundation built on experience, heavily relying on her own experiences to make rationalization simpler. Pragmatism is a significant key in her books, and she isn’t one to question its promises.
Cogent - Quartz loves to indulge herself in a good argument. Albeit her introversion and generally self-reserved nature may without question suggest otherwise, publicizing her opinions isn't much of a difficulty for her. She is incredibly quick to pick up external data and is able to process large quantities of it without feeling overwhelmed. In return, it has enabled her the ability to clearly and effectively explicate her thoughts and ideas without much concern for confusion among her audiences. Quartz is a comprehensible and coherent orator—but despite her unexpectedly powerful set of vocals—she favors suppressing her breath over concerns she finds little worth in or trivial. Otherwise, she isn't inclined to let others know what it is she is thinking or feeling.
Scrupulous & Analytical - Quartz is detail-trained on both visual and task-oriented aspects. She is very much one to investigate and review her surrounds especially when entering foreign turf or encountering new faces. She is highly attentive—no detail may go unseen by her, making it quite the challenge to make a fool out of her. She is not fast to place judgment upon another and will instead firstly examine their body language to ascertain how they may function on the norm. Everything from their gait, speech and voice patterns, to how they register and adjust to different situations and circumstances. Quartz subtracts all that she has collected to then try to piece together what events they may have endured in their past that would encourage normal behavior, how that past may have affected them mentally and physically (sometimes emotionally), and how and why that then compels them to display themselves as they do. She does her absolute best not to neglect any aspect. Every article is essential and without evaluating each little detail first, every step afterward can lead nowhere but down. Ignoring such information can and will profoundly influence the results of one’s task or argument—and typically not in the most positive of ways. She can be so focused on the efficiency and fluency of her mission, Quartz often departs from the group to operate at her own pace without the concern of keeping up and keeping track of the fellow participants. She’s concluded that because of this, it has given her the ability to complete whatever it is she is striving to achieve without the worry of running short on time. It’s given Quartz the room to breathe. One can easily assume she will unquestionably return to examine and verify her work more than just once, twice even, to guarantee that everything adds up correctly as it should.
Punctual - Quartz strives on progress and is extremely goal-oriented; thus she isn’t one to abuse any given time or effort when offered a task. She strongly dislikes procrastination as believes that procrastination in itself is time-wasting. Delaying something that has a deadline is a concept that Quartz simply doesn't understand. She will only tell herself to relax when she knows that there is nothing more that requires completion. Deadlines intimidate her to a degree. Timetables indicate there is no opportunity to delay effort and quality and she feels they test one’s use of efficiency. There's typically a stigma surrounding non-punctuality, and because of this, Quartz detests when things are submitted beyond their interval of acceptance. Nevertheless, despite the air of chagrin, it has never deterred her from doing her best on whatever it is that is handed to her to achieve.
Diplomatic & Judicious - Under a clear mindset—‘clear’ being the keyword in this equation—everything that she voices is carefully and thoroughly rehearsed and examined numerous times in her head to ensure that whatever it is she is about to say has a low possibility of either upsetting one or encouraging unnecessary conversation as she often takes others’ thoughts and emotions into consideration. Boundaries are something Quartz keeps in mind with every wolf she socializes with and because she is extremely decent at phrasing, she can—majority of the time, as she is still studying new methods—comfortably and articulately conform to the range of standards set by those whom she has even a speck of an idea about. She largely does this to make communication smoother for both her and whoever it is she’s interacting with. However, this isn’t to be confused or misinterpreted as her being an even better conversationalist because that isn’t the case. Small talk isn’t her forte and sometimes just receiving the air of company and silence can be enough to pacify her for a bit. She can appease to the likes of others regarding communication should it benefit the social arena, and that’s about as far as that road goes. Counseling others, however, is an entirely different story. If someone is to come to her with a dilemma they’re undergoing, she’s much more disposed to offering ways to mend the problem than she is emotional support or guidance.
Impassive - Quartz wears a mask of drowned emotions and has mastered the technique of suppressing her authentic feelings. The semblance of impassivity she outwardly portrays is a facade and fortification against the outside world, and over the years she has built it out to be extremely durable; her stoic visage conceals her vulnerability and insecurities. She doesn't rely on her voice to publicize her emotions and instead allows her body language to speak for her, generally only speaking if it is to benefit the social occasion. This is why she isn’t easy to communicate with upon first impression. She still makes an effort to act civil and polite—but without displaying any vulnerability. Nevertheless, she doesn't invest many feelings during the peak of the moment, allowing herself to let her emotions free once she is isolated and free of others' presences and concerns.
Mercurial - Quartz, because of her inscrutable facade, appears not to be the easiest to quickly set off. And which, while she has mastered masking her emotions, how she processes and responds to everything mentally and emotionally are entirely different. It actually doesn’t take much to really grind her gears—but will never, or could never display her irritation, or visually show that someone has managed to get under her skin and upset her. Quartz actually has a decent amount of control over her emotions—because she’s explicitly learned how to—and can repress them to a degree. Such being her smile and laughter (something that she almost never does), her tears, and even her inexpressive side. This causes her to bottle them up and ultimately drown them out, granting her the ability to shift from one outward emotion to another in the flip of a dime, with no reminisce or evidence of the emotion felt prior.
Confrontational - Quartz values the law and those who have the authority to reinforce it, regarding them as great influencers. However, no matter how much power another is to have above her, if she does not concur with their jurisdiction, then she will publicly affirm her opposition. To put it simply, she doesn’t abide authority that doesn't coincide with her own ethics. She will stand her ground until she is forced out of the conversation. She tries to evade strife as much as possible, but if she is far too indulged in the argument, there is a small likelihood she will back down. Quartz takes her sentiments earnestly and believes they deserve to be heard, as should everyone else’s. She considers herself a passionate arguer.
Aloof & Terse - Since Quartz often has her emotions sealed up and bottled away, she’s managed to almost emotionally detach herself from certain circumstances and wolves. Due to this, she’s able to not only manipulate her voice (dulling it down to the point it sounds utterly monotone and artificial) but also her visage and aura, settling it to depict her exact emotion should she deem the situation appropriate for such. Being as distant and unattached as emotionally capable is what Quartz is still striving to achieve, and while she already has a handle on her emotions, she wants to improve.
Impartial & Opinionated - It’s easy to deduce that she doesn’t get attached easily, thus leaving her remarkably unbiased in nearly every situation she is placed in. She is either connected to someone or something or not at all as there is typically no in-between or middle ground for her. However, ironically enough, Quartz is hugely opinionated. Once she has attached herself to someone or something, she will adamantly argue her case and attempt everything within her power to assure safety to said item or wolf. In which another outlet where her loyalty is prone to emerge full-fledged.
Competitive - Quartz has quite the stressful time decompressing when she’s under a cloud of anxiety. The core reason behind her dread for deadlines, stress, and culprit to her impetuous tendencies. Albeit those traits of her is a rarity, it’s present and doesn’t take much to trigger. Her impulsiveness derived from her competitive nature. She is remarkably competitive. When she is challenged, her goal is to win. Her competitive spirit initiates when pressure is applied, and she’s liable to disregard almost any forethought—which influences her to come off as rash and stress herself over the most trivial of things. Quartz could never resist a challenge, and the lust to conquer can evolve into a desperate campaign to prove herself worthy. She despises when others get the upper hand and manage to outwit her in a field she might excel in. She struggles with accepting defeat no matter how hard she tries. What retains her in this resilient mindset is the idea of failure—the stigma that is brought with it—and the concept of being nothing of value. That lingers within the corners of her mind almost continuously, and that’s why she pushes herself to her absolute limits. Just as long as she can verify herself in the reflections of someone she may look up to.
Dogmatic - Quartz has always found rejoice in administering law upon others. Not necessarily in a condescending or browbeat way but in the sense that she can and will assert herself as someone not to understate in terms of capability. She’s one who projects herself as someone who has the potential to reinforce authority no matter how much her dignity is to be broken. Quartz is strict and unwavering, relishing the prestige and honor when in a position of indubitable command all the while evoking the restrictions of her control towards her superiors. Blatantly, she is no pushover and will hold her own under authority that others may find intimidating and brooding. She isn’t fond of being pushed around by those of equal power or less and will brazenly push back if drawn to the point where she sees an opposition appropriate. Quartz has little time for defiance or ignorance and will not bear it from anyone no matter their position.
Willful - She isn't one to be easily hindered from carrying out a task or idea due to her one-track mind. Quartz is very inflexible when it narrows down to her own opinions and ideas, it requiring a lot of effort to get her stray from her initial course. This has proven to be more costly to her than anything else. If there is something she wants to do or say—there is a higher chance she will do it despite the consequences.
Cantankerous & Belligerent- If Quartz is irritated beyond the capability of easily calming down, there is a very slim chance that she’ll be even the smallest bit cooperative or collected. She attempts to keep her temper at bay, but nevertheless, still has her exploding moments, letting out all of her emotions if she is unable to get the chance to vent them beforehand. She can be incredibly snappish and argumentative in this state, and in this mindset, she’s very prone to igniting animosity among others, which is something she greatly opposes on the norm.
Critical & Cynical - If Quartz succeeds to discover an aspect of someone she doesn't morally accept or if their opinions are heedlessly shoved into her face, she will silently criticize them from afar. If she abhors someone, she will dismiss their existence entirely. When she resents someone, she will do everything in her power to assure they are aware of her spite. As her typical style of addressing peers is formal and dignified, she will without hesitancy retaliate with equal disrespect if she feels it is being executed directly towards her. While Quartz strives to be as composed as emotionally possible in these types of circumstances—she isn't much of the brutish kind—she's still subject to losing her temper and lashing out, which she isn't enamored of doing. She execrates when others are aware they have managed to agitate her.

TRIVIA
► Quartz's favored season is winter. She has a very high tolerance for cold weather and will prefer it over warm and humid temperatures any day. She enjoys the brisk winds that course through her ruffled fur and the soft and occasionally crispy snow underneath her paws.
► She has an incredibly tender spot for pups. Her hardened visage will soften almost instantly in the presence of the small balls of boundless potential. Ages aren't significant to Quartz and can range drastically for all she cared. She's grown an almost sixth sense when it comes to pups in danger. Though she doesn't try to manifest her adoration and tenderness for pups around others, some may discern her typical stoic air will warm to a more maternal gaze when with or around the younger ones.
