Appearance ::
Tikal is somewhat small for her age, with thin legs supporting a curved body, and a fluffy tail. Her paws are rather small, and she walks with a bouncy, feminine gait. She often walks with her head held high, and her ears, which bear a bit of fluff near the bottom, are usually perked. While her fur is not exactly thick or fluffy, it often appears to be ruffled in some places. Tikal's eyes are often filled with curiosity.
Tikal has a white muzzle, as well as white sock-like markings on all four legs, that crawl up the inside of her hind legs. Her underbelly, as well as the fur surrounding her neck is also white. Her forehead, as well as most of her back are light gray, while her ears, tail tip, forelegs, and a patch of her back are darker gray. The gray parts of her fur seem to have a bit of white in a pattern that resembles falling snow. Her paw pads are a soft pink that matches her tongue, and her teeth, while rather small, are fairly clean and white.
Personality
Personality ::
Tikal is kind and caring to almost every wolf. While she can sometimes be intimidated by bigger wolves, she tries to not let it show and treats them respectfully. She tries hard not to judge another wolf, but at times she simply cannot help it. She tries not to let her judgement affect the way she treats another wolf, and as such she is usually eager to meet someone new and learn about them.
Being very open about her opinions, sometimes Tikal doesn't realize if she has offended someone. She is quick to apologize if she does, unless she feels strongly about it. If someone challenges her beliefs Tikal can quickly become angered, but she tries to hide her anger even though she is terrible at it. Seeing Tikal frustrated can be a rather amusing sight, for defending herself and containing her emotions at the same time is very difficult for her.
Tikal hates to be ignored, and she will even raise her voice to get another's attention. In addition, Tikal will also become frustrated if she feels useless or even if she feels she has been abandoned. In attempts to prove herself, she has very often bitten off more than she can chew. Being ignored in the past has made Tikal eager to prove she is useful, and as such she does not take criticism well at all. In that sense, she can very well be considered unreasonable, whereas she has stated in the past that she dislikes unreasonable wolves.
Tikal could care less about talking about herself, she much prefers listening to others. As a pup she loved hearing stories from her mother, so she enjoys hearing stories from strangers as well. Though she likes to listen, Tikal often asks many questions that may annoy an impatient wolf. That being said, she enjoys the company of a patient, well-mannered wolf with many stories to tell. Unfortunately, those wolves can often be hard to come by.
Being such a patient wolf most of the time, Tikal enjoys being around pups and young wolves. She also likes responsibility, but doesn't like to feel pressured or rushed. She also finds herself easily trusting other wolves, which can prove to be either a strength or a weakness depending on the situation. Either way, she is loyal to her friends and would do almost anything for them.

History
History ::
When Tikal was born, she was the only female in her litter. Her two brothers soon proved to be much bigger and stronger than she was. She was often teased for being smaller, which in turn made her feel useless. Tikal then began to try and prove herself, helping out with any small task her parents would trust her with, which wasn't much at such a young age. While her brothers wrestled and played, Tikal spent much time with her mother, asking to hear stories of her days when she traveled, or stories of how she met her father.
As time went on and Tikal grew older, she still found that she was not as capable and useful as her brothers. This angered her, and without thinking she made an attempt to prove that she would be useful to her parents and brothers. She waited for her chance, and then wandered away from her family toward an elk herd. Once finding a young elk slightly separated from the rest, she attempted to take it down, which only resulted in a nasty kick from its hind leg. Tikal was very lucky to escape without a serious injury, but her failure confirmed her worst fear; she was useless to her family. Tikal was always the one to hide her emotions, and never let anything bother her. And although she had cried before, small tears that quickly faded away, this was the first time that Tikal had wept. It wasn't until mother had heard her sobbing that she finally returned to the den, tear stains running down her beautiful white fur.
Tikal doubted herself after that day, but it was her mother that assured her that she didn't have to be a good hunter to be useful. Tikal wasn't so sure, but she agreed she wouldn't jump to doing anything reckless ever again. As Tikal grew older, she found herself acting as an excellent peacekeeper, and her two reckless brothers were great to practice with. Her bothers no longer troubled her, and eventually both left to find mates and form their own packs. Tikal stayed with her parents a little longer, and finally left to find her own place in the world, wherever that may be.
