October

October is one of the main characters in Alpha Academy. She is a hag with a little too much pride, as well as a few skeletons in her closet. She's also a baker!

## Personality

October is best described as assertive, but friendly. She wants to be both the leader of the pack and part of it, essentially. October is rather extroverted and is down to hang out with basically anybody. She finds chitchat to be a challenge... and October isn't the type of person to turn down a challenge.

October carries an air of confidence about her, one that is... rarely disturbed. Or at least, that's what she wants you to think. She's accustomed to exaggerating her own self-importance so that people won't see her as weak. In order to keep people from seeing her as weak, she has become accustomed to exaggerating her own self-esteem, and she's become pretty darn good at it. This flares up most when the gang's in a dangerous situation, as she tends to hide her own insecurities in hopes that it will prevent everybody else from panicking as well.

October is very competitive, though she rarely gets aggressive or out-of-hand. If she catches anybody trying to challenge her, she won't hesitate to confront them over it. If beaten, she *may* get a bit pissed, but not necessarily at the victor. She'll usually act chill about it around them, and then be furious at herself and her own inability to win once they leave the room.

When it comes to her mischievous nature, it's important to note that she maintains a cool head during all of her antics. She also specifically avoids doing anything to embarrass herself, though it can be argued that one of her flaws is that she doesn't... always grant the same luxury to her 'victims.' Basically, October never really acts 'crazy' when she's goofing off, just a little careless at times.

## Appearance & Wardrobe

October has a mild tan with sharp red-brown eyes. She has full lips, sharp Wolf-Tribe teeth, and a catlike nose. Her hair is styled into a blackish-brown chin-length bob, somewhat untamed. Her bangs are brushed off to the right, with only one ear visible.

As for her wardrobe, it mostly consists of used Panda-Tribe clothing that she found for a cheap price during her stay at the academy. Her usual outfit is a red-gray low-cut long-sleeve shirt, coated by a faded brown-black leather jacket with fur collar. Depending on the weather, she usually either will don black flats or black-brown boots. She usually has light-blue used jeans on, a staple of Panda-Tribe fashion.

When October is first introduced, she dons wolf-tribe clothing. Most notably, a dirty, faded pink-white dress and *very* used boots. It's obvious that neither have been cleaned in... probably forever. After arriving at the academy, she quickly switches these out for some... slightly less used clothes. Hey, y'take what you can get!

## Backstory

October is rather closed about her backstory, as though she would prefer not to talk about it. However, there are moments where she'll be surprisingly open about it. She doesn't avoid outright saying that she *has* a secret, she just avoids saying what it is, basically.

From the hints she's dropped, it seems that October is an orphan, and has a... strained... relationship with what's left of her family. As for her parents, she "adored her father, never knew her mother." She speaks of having one sister, but... Doesn't speak too fondly of her.
