Alias: Nightingale

Occupation: Exorcist, Witch Hunter, and Apprentice Alchemist

Residence: A private residence in the outskirts of Eberswalde, Brandenburg, Germany

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Species: Wolf

Race: Lycan

Family: Nightingale has had a very close knit-bond with her surviving family ever since her parents, Falke (father) and Harrier (mother) were believed to have perished in the line of duty. Her grandfather, Eule, is a former knight in the Birds of Prey who served the order for more than thirty years before old age forced him to take up alchemy and blacksmithing, and he still forges the many armors and weapons for use by the few remaining members of the order. Nightingale still also actively cares for her wheelchair bound younger brother, Luther, who never got the chance to serve the order after a long fall down a flight of stairs in his youth left him paralyzed from the waist-down.

Friends: Wif, Raven, Nightshade, Zeke

Enemies: Crow, Abbadon, Orcus, Lilith

Alignment: Good

Appearance: Nightingale is a snow white wolf with rather bright lime-green eyes, long smokey-gray hair, and a claw-mark scarring her right cheek. On duty, she wears a full armor set consisting of a light mail-tunic with the image of a stylized bird engraved within the center along with a pair of leggings and gauntlets, a cowl bearing the falcon insignia of the Birds of Prey knight order, and wields an alchemically-forged chain whip called Geistverderben as her weapon of choice. In her personal free time, she prefers to wear a light gray evening dress to further suit her classy nature. But when night falls and the moon comes out, her lycantropy takes over and she becomes a full-on werewolf; an ice-blue, white haired, luminescent yellow-eyed, clawed and more muscular version of her former self.

Personality: Nightingale, having hailed from a long bloodline of nobility, retains the grace and sophistication that her family has had for many generations. She's very welcoming and courteous, greeting friends and acquaintances with the utmost class and respect. Though despite Nightingale's elegance and class, she still has a bit of a rebellious and free-spirited nature. Nightingale is also highly knowledgeable about the supernatural, and keeps a wide variety of research tomes on spirits, paranormal entities, and other abnormal phenomenia in her villa's personal library. As a knight, she still holds the honor code of the Birds of Prey to heart, and retains the order's belief that battle is not a sport of enjoyment, but a means of preserving order. Nightingale is also an avid piano player and florist.

Powers and Abilities:  Nightingale is a third-generation lycan, having inherited the trait from her grandfather when he was bitten by a werewolf early in his days as a knight. Because of this inherent trait, she is transformed into a werewolf whenever she is exposed to the light of the moon. Depending on the cycle the moon is currently in, it affects how strong her were-form is; the strongest it can become is during a full moon, the weakest being a crescent, and being unable to change during a new moon. In this form, she gains heightened senses, greater physical strength, expanded stamina, and active beastial instincts. Despite the transformation, Nightingale's lupine instincts don't completely override her actions and she still retains a large degree of her sapient intelligence and can still keep herself under control, though she loses the ability to speak in this form save for wolf-like howling and snarling.

Personal Quote: "War is a necessary hell, not a game. Anyone who thinks otherwise is corrupted to the core no matter how noble they make themselves out to be."
