Moonshadow

Moonshadow, AKA Laurel Tralbot. She is the great-great-grandaughter of Lawrence Talbot (The Wolf Man).

Description
As Moonshadow: A young woman with a pale complexion (not undead pale, but 'I don't tan, I burn' pale), wearing a navy blue bodysuit, black thigh-high boots, opera-length black gloves, low-slung black belt with a pouch on her left hip, and a black hooded cloak. The hood conceals her face in shadow when up. When down, it reveals straight black hair, with a white streak at her left temple, framing a heart-shaped face with blue eyes. Those with mystic senses can detect the curse that hangs over her.

As Laurel: Laurel is a young woman with straight black hair, with a white streak at her left temple hanging loose about her shoulders, framing a heart-shaped face, blue eyes, and a pale complexion (not undead pale, but 'I don't tan, I burn' pale). She stands about 5'6" with a slender, athletic build. She's wearing a brown leather jacket over a red t-shirt, blue jeans, and black sneakers. Those with mystic senses can detect the curse that hangs over her, as well as the illusion that surrounds her.

As a Werewolf: In her werewolf form, she is a black-furred wolf-human hybrid with a white stripe running from above her left ear back to the base of her neck.

Origin
Laurel was born with the curse of Lycanthropy, which remained dormant throughout her childhood. After she turned 21, it started to emerge, and after a traumatic incident involving kidnapping and torture, it has now manifested fully. In addition, she received a rather eclectic education from some of the greatest minds in history during her childhood in Limbo. During this time she discovered an aptitude for magic, particularly spells that manipulate light and shadow, and spells that relate to the Moon.

Powers
Laurel is a sorceress and a werewolf (having inherited the curse from her mother). In her human form, she uses spells that manipulate light and shadow, and spells that relate to the Moon. She has also been studying witchcraft, and learned a few spells that way. In her wolfen form she can heal from almost any wound (not caused by silver or fire), and her senses are enhanced. From her father, she inherited her indefinite lifespan.

Personality
In her wolfen form, Laurel is driven by rage at whoever injured one of her 'family' (see Relations). As a human, she tends to treat her friends as family (due to the loneliness of her childhood).

Relations
Laurel's 'Family' (Pack) consists of Amelia Steinburg (aka Hawk), Jak Venture (aka The Outrider), Talitha May (aka Timewarp), Joseph Newhouse (aka Lightray), Connor Duran (aka Radical), Thomas Blackmore (aka Magus), Lincoln Locke (aka Horizon), and Wolfgang Clawes. She has also been cultivating a friendship with Gabrielle Grimm. She has not seen her father in several years, but has come to believe that he was a high-ranking member of Demon, and may now be part of the Cabal.

History
She was born in 2006, the only child of Larrisa Talbot (a werewolf, great-granddaughter of Larry Talbot, The Wolf Man) and Seth Genesis (an immortal demon/wizard). She was raised by her mother, as her father had disappeared (feared dead) before Laurel was born. When her mother was killed helping non-Muslims escape the "Unification War," her father appeared and took her to his home in the dimension called Limbo. There she was raised by the household staff, and received a rather eclectic education from some of the greatest minds in history. During this time she discovered an aptitude for magic. Although her father made sure all her needs were met, she never saw him over the 12 years she stayed there. When she turned 16, her father sent a gift, the long hooded cloak she wears as part of her hero uniform. She discovered that if she furled the cloak tightly around her, she could command it to take her back to Earth. Determined to find her father (and to meet other living, breathing people) she did just that, appearing in Haven, the same small city her mother had lived in before she was born. Here she found members of the meta community that had known her mother, and received a shock: only two years had passed on Earth since her mother's death! She lived among them and attended the local high school for the next few years. Not long after graduating, in 2014, Laurel received word that her father had returned to Limbo, so she went to search for him there, but did not find him. When she returned, she found that over 50 years had passed! More recently, she underwent a traumatic experience that fully activated her curse.
