Personality: mostly cheerful and fun-loving, Hydra was named
for the mythical beast in an attempt to instill some fierceness into the
then-silly cub. Other times, she's quiet, wary and distrustful, but never for
long. Other times, Hydra is a serious hunter, showing a frightening knowledge
of how to kill and taking an almost gleeful pleasure in it. Thankfully, that
does not last long either.

History: As a cub, Hydra was innocent, curious and playful.
Often scolded by her mother for being rambunctious when she should have been
quiet and learning attentively, but it never daunted the wide-eyed cub. As she
grew, she became protective of her older sister who did not grow. Henna was
strangely short of breath after a simple walk and practically blind. Raised by
their mother, they were told the sire had skipped out when he was informed she
was pregnant and vanished into the trees. According to her, he was a whimpering
coward who's only use had been breeding a new line of hunters for the pack.
He'd been a loner the pack had been willing to take in and had known nothing of
how to hunt or barely survive on his own. Hydra did her best to protect, defend
and aide her sister, but was only partially successful as every time she had to
leave on some errand or learning to hunt, the rest of the family would taunt
her sister, which eventually evolved into rough-housing her sister could never
keep up with, earning her many scars. In their third year, just before Hydra's
hunt rite of passage into adulthood, her family encountered a lone granthrax
who decided their territory was ripe for taking over. Hydra's grandfather, the
alpha, took offense and eventually killed the thrax, but not before her mother
and aunt were killed. Her sister did not expect much after that and told Hydra
she planned to leave the pack as she couldn't contribute anything and was next
to useless. Hydra grew unhappy and pulled away from her friends, becoming quiet
and wary. She continued doing what she could to help her sister, however, and
helped pull together supplies for the eventual leave-taking. A year later,
Hydra returned one evening from a hunt to find her sister's body at the
entrance to their cave, mangled beyond recognition. She lost it, seeing red and
turned on the nearest gran, screaming bloody murder. Enraged and full of
adrenaline, she was stronger than most of her family, but without control and
conscious thought, Hydra was easily driven away. Not before she killed her
closest cousin who had been standing too close to her when she found the body.
Returning to herself, bleeding and half dead, Hydra's memories returned
full-forced and she tried to take her own life in exchange for the life of her
friend she'd inadvertently killed. Hydra failed of course, eventually nursing
herself back to life, though she remained reclusive and skirted the edges of
her once-pack's territory. Knowing too well how the pack operated and knowing
each of the hunters' quirks and ways helped to avoid detection and notice and
she remained a loner for the next four years. At some point, she discovered a
boa constrictor who was being toyed with by a granthrax that reminded her
uncomfortably of her mother's killer. Hydra flew at the thrax and beat him off
with all the fury in her little paws. Startled, the dark brown, tribal marked
thrax dropped the boa and took off to find an easier meal. Hydra promptly
adopted the wary snake and ignored the half-hearted hissing, feeding him from
her stash of little prey she kept in a corner of her cave.

Random facts: She likes reptiles of all kinds, but
especially snakes. Her pet boa is Hissi Fit.
