===PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION===
Hair Color: She has long brown hair with blonde streaks underneath. Her hair is usually unruly and uncombed, parted in the middle or not even parted at all.
Eye Color: Brown with flecks of lighter brown surrounding her pupil.
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 128 lbs
Other: Enaliss is a pretty young woman who has grown into her lanky form since she was a young girl. She still has a slight build, but she has full curves and more flesh on her bones than she did when she was younger. She has an innocent look to her that gets her out of trouble a lot and she knows how to flaunt her feminine side if she needs to. While she usually wears jeans and a shirt of any color that she can find, when she cleans up and wears something nice, actually combing her hair, she can really teeter on the edge of beautiful. However, she doesn't keep up her hair that well and she could care less about her appearance, unless it helps her to look nice. Her shoes are either nonexistent or sturdy brown boots that are worn from years of use.
In wolf form, she is about five feet tall at the shoulder and six and a half feet long from the tip of her ears to the ground. (About the size of an average horse) From the tip of her tail to her nose is about six feet and her body is covered in thick muscle. Her fur is mostly very dark brown, so dark it almost seems black, like her natural hair color. Under her belly, on her paws and the tip of her tail is lighter, almost blonde like her streaks in her hair. Her eyes are golden and her fangs slightly longer than a normal wolf's.
===POWERS===
Powers:SHIFTING- She can shift into a rather large wolf form with the same kind of fur coloring as her hair color. This shifting is limited, however, by her concentration and energy. If she is well-rested, well-fed and calm, if she focuses she can shift fully rather easily. At these same conditions, it is also easy for her to control the shift to stop half-way or only shift one part of her body. If she is well-rested, well-fed and upset/angry, she cannot control the shift but it happens rather quickly and savagely. If she is tired, hungry, or not in the right mental state otherwise, shifting becomes increasingly difficult the more tired, hungry, or mentally unstable she is. The level of control varies. If she is in control, she can shift her mouth to just have fangs, her hands to have claws, her ears into wolf ears, or even increase her balance by having a tail. She can choose to have just one of these, which requires a lot of concentration, but not a lot of energy, or all at once which requires less concentration but a lot more energy.
Once in wolf form, it is sometimes difficult for her to return to human form. Her feral side wants to keep control and sometimes she wants to let it. It takes a lot of concentration for her to return to human form.
SUPER SENSES- This goes with the shifting but is considered a separate power. When she is in human form, she has the senses of the wolf such as hearing, sight and especially smell. This is limited by her concentration and she can be overwhelmed by too much of any noise, sight or smell.
STRENGTH- This is not /super/ strength, but when she shifts the wolf form is much stronger than her human form. It isn't a strength like, for example, the Hulk's, but it is much stronger than her own strength. For example, in wolf form she can't lift things and throw them, I mean, she is a wolf. She can, however, knock someone to the ground with her body weight, grab them with her jaws and swing them around, or use her large paws to knock them out if she gets a direct enough hit. She can break through brick walls, bend some metal ones by running into them, and can bend bars of a prison with her jaws. Her teeth and claws have the ability to cut through wood, most of the way through stone, and even through some soft metals. Her muscles in wolf form are incredibly hard and can take many blows, acting almost like armor but it is her own muscle. The muscle can stop bullets and take damage from swords/other sharp objects, protecting her vitals. It will still hurt her and may even put her out of commission from a fight, but she will still be alive. If she only transforms half-way, her strength is only increased to about half her strength as a full wolf. Still stronger than the average human, maybe even slightly stronger than a strong human, but not by much. In her human form, she is only as strong as she trains her body to be. She has trained with top fighters, boxers, and even martial artists, so she is in very good condition.
AGILITY- Also not /super/ agility, but she is naturally agile and this is slightly enhanced by her powers. In her human form and wolf form she is light on her feet and able to do things that a normal human/wolf couldn't. This is limited by her energy level and level of control over her emotions. In her human form, she is able to balance easily on things, fall and land on her feet or roll to avoid getting hurt, hang from places that are difficult to get to and jump slightly higher than the average human. She has done dance which included gymnastics, so she can use handsprings, somersaults and other such moves to get away from someone or avoid something. Her wolf form can jump higher than an average wolf, mostly due to the increased strength, but her increased agility allows her to land easily and regain her balance quickly. She can jump about six feet and is able to use walls as jumping off points, touching on them briefly to give her the push to get to where she wants to go. This is also limited by her energy level.
Weaknesses:She has a lot of weaknesses and this is only a list that I can come up with on the spot:
Her own emotions getting in the way of clear-thinking, anger clouding her judgement, pride confusing her decisions, etc. She does not have an exhaustive store of energy, she has a normal amount of energy and shifting/healing uses this the most. Cats, she hates cats and although she isn't afraid of them, she is wary of them and will lose her cool. Fire, she isn't good with fire at all and is incredibly afraid of it. Someone stronger than her, obviously. Losing her concentration, distractions, bright flashes of light can blind her easily, more easily than others. Loud noises, strong smells and other such things can cause her to lose concentration. She needs to eat often to keep up her energy.
===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE===
Likes: Shiny things, jewelry, food, being scratched behind the ear, playing fetch while in wolf form, being independent, clean getaways, the thrill of the chase/hunt, freedom, causing trouble, some villains, people, dogs.
Dislikes: Being captured, being alone, villains who are too full of themselves, hurting others, police officers, having her pride bruised, going too far, fire, cats, her own emotions getting in the way, males.
Strengths: She has a way with talking to people that makes them feel comfortable around her which is how she can get a lot of information about a potential location to rob. She knows how to manipulate conversations as well to get what she wants. She is also much smarter than she lets on. She is physically strong for a human because she works out and tones her muscles religiously. She knows how to get in or out of most any door because her dad worked as a locksmith and security system installer. She knows the ins and outs of security systems like the back of her hand, having helped her dad on multiple occasions. She is handy with a knife and can throw pretty accurately, but other weapons are useless to her.
Skills: Lock-picking/dismantling security systems. Her powers, smooth-talker, getting others to trust her, dancing. She took dance for many years and was good at it, perhaps could have been exceptional if she continued. Some gymnastics from those years of dance. She also has been working recently on meditating to be able to separate herself from her pain during a fight so that she isn't distracted. This meditation is new and she isn't able to hold off the pain for long, but it will get better as she practices more. It requires concentration and she can't hold off the pain without some adrenaline currently. This allows her to keep her head clear and not be bothered by pain at least for a short while for now. This is a trick her father told her about and she only recently figured out how to do it.
Equipment: Bobby pins, wire-cutters, a bag for stolen goods, a screw-driver, a smaller bag of tiny tools that might come in handy when breaking in to something. She also wears a wolf mask that fits her well and hides her identity at the same time leaving her nose and eyes unencumbered.
Habits/Quirks: She bites her lip when she is thinking, pulling the skin off sometimes. She laughs louder if she is lying and stiffens whenever she sees a ball or a cat. She will rub her nose over and over or surreptiously cover it with her hand if she smells something strong, be it good or bad.
Personality: Enaliss is a complicated young woman. She isn't the stereotypical villainess, in fact, she doesn't even think of herself as a villainess. She is just Sabre, struggling to get along in a world where being different is almost a sin, trying to maintain her freedom and sense of well-being, trying to find her own. She steals out of her necessity and although she loves to stir up trouble, if it ends up hurting someone she feels incredibly guilty. When things go too far she has strong remorse and will work her hardest to right the wrong.
She is dangerous because she is unpredictable. One day she might steal a priceless gem, the next she will anonymously donate all of the money she gets from the gem to a charity. Her motives are hard to pin down and this makes it difficult for the Titans to catch her. She tries not to physically harm others, although she won't feel bad over a few scratches or a headache when a guard wakes up after being knocked out. She likes to use intimidation and shows of power to frighten others into running away so she can get what she wants. It usually works.
She likes to show-off at times but knows her limits and doesn't like to be at the scene of a crime more than necessary. In fact, she likes to baffle the police and Titans by leaving barely any trace that she was there. The one thing she might leave is a single 'S' scratched somewhere visible. Let them figure out how she got in, disarmed the security systems and got back out with the goods and the security system turned back on.
When it comes to just being a normal human, she loves to have friends, but she isn't very good at keeping them. She can't tell them her powers, her secrets, and they wouldn't understand why she does what she does. She loves animals except for cats and has a dog of her own that she would do anything for. She can't exactly communicate with him, but she understands dogs more than other people do and understands her own dog even better because she shifts into a wolf. There is no telepathic communication, however, or anything similar to that.
She works as a dog trainer and runs her own doggy-day-care center during the day, even though she really doesn't need the money. She appears to be poor because she rarely spends any money on herself, but in her small apartment she has a few very nice things she has allowed herself to splurge on. A good portion of her money goes towards her father's medical bills and keeping him in the nursing home.
What she really wants more than anything is to be loved and accepted for who she is, which sounds cheesy, but she never had the kind of love that most people know from their parents. The stealing and trouble-causing is a cry for attention, but something drastic would have to happen for her to admit that. She really can be kind, especially when it comes to children or injured animals, but in Steel City she will never show it. She hides her true self well behind her mask, her abilities and a seductive/sultry ruse to throw everyone off.
While she will never become a Titan because she is too enthralled with stealing, the thrill of the chase and all that jazz, she might help them from time to time if it is something she cares about.
When Enaliss starts to transform into Sabre, her personality changes just slightly. She becomes less caring about others, more daring and quite clever in her taunts. She feels more powerful and her wolf-side makes her more feral and more willing to fight. Sabre starts to dominate Enaliss and makes her do things that perhaps she wouldn't normally do when in her normal human form. It doesn't overwhelm her too much unless she is angry.
===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===
Family: Her father is James Dre, he was a locksmith/security system installer in his prime but had a heart attack in his mid-50s and has been in the nursing home ever since. Her mother was Deidre Dre and she was an alcoholic who died from liver failure when Enaliss was five.
Place of Origin: Jump City
Current City: Steel City
History:Enaliss was the only child of James and Deidre Dre. She was unplanned, an accident that they hadn't expected in their early 40s. Her father had a successful locksmithing and security system business and her mother was a code monkey for hackers in Steel City. Their jobs both catered to villains and villainesses and they always found themselves wondering whether they were doing the wrong thing. James would sell his plans and ways to break in to certain buildings he wired, as well as rig security systems to be faulty. He was paid a hefty sum for this kind of work, but he never felt good about it. Deidre had no other option but to code for hackers because it was all she knew. After having Enaliss, she tried to get out of it, but was only pulled back in farther as soon as Enaliss was old enough to go to school. She had always been a heavy drinker and soon passed away from liver failure because she returned to drinking again.
Enaliss lost her mother and her father lost his mind. He became obsessed with crime, watching it on the news, coming up with new ways to make money off of the villains and villainesses, losing interest in her well-being and generally forgetting about her. Until she discovered her power, that is. At the age of six, she began to sense that she was different than other children with her senses. She sporadically turned into a wolf at school and when the teacher called home the first time, obviously shaken, her father was ecstatic. He groomed her from then on, paying her more attention than he had before, but only because he saw her potential as a villainess. To the public, they were a father and daughter who only had each other, and he appeared to be doing all the right things. He enrolled her in dance lessons, went to see her teachers, and appeared to be fully involved with her life.
At first, all she cared about was pleasing her father. She did everything he asked without fail, bringing home jewels, money, food, anything he wanted. She just wanted him to pay more attention to her and love her. And for awhile, that was enough. But as she got older and realized that love wasn't conditional, she began to resent her father and started acting out. She skipped school, stole things because she could and even stole some of her father's things. She eventually dropped out of school, even though she was smarter than most, and began to work for a local dog trainer. She honed her ability in secret and found her passion for training dogs, eventually taking over when the owner of the business had to move. She refused to steal anything for her father, refused to even see him when she got enough money to move out and basically cut off all ties. Until he had his heart attack. He was in the hospital for weeks, and the hospital bills piled up. She wanted to leave him there to die, but she just couldn't. She needed to pay for his bills and a nursing home to watch over him while she wasn't around. She couldn't take care of him physically, she just couldn't bring herself to do it after he had manipulated her all those years. But she could take care of him financially.
She returned to stealing and found her joy in quick getaways. The name "Sabre" became a household name, coined by the media for her long sharp fangs that she used to frighten people, although they said she used them to harm people which was entirely false. She kept everything under wraps though, keeping her business running and only siphoning a reasonable amount of money to pay for the hospital bills. She has been doing this for a few years now without being caught, but how can her luck last?
Sample RP"I d-don't want any t-trouble," the night manager stuttered, his baton and flashlight shaking in his hands as he tried to pinpoint her location. The fear in his voice was so thick she could almost taste it and for a moment she almost felt bad. Almost. Fear wasn't a bad thing unless you let it overcome you and that was just a sign of weakness. Of course, she had specifically picked the night when the newest night manager would be on shift at this particular location, so she knew this would be a cinch.
"Well that's fortunate, because neither do I. So we will both get along, yes?" her sultry voice came from the darkness, causing his flashlight to shake again as he shifted it to where he thought her voice was coming from. The problem was, she was already gone from that location, using her heightened senses to outwit the guard quickly. She moved behind him and gave a short growl with shifted vocal chords, startling him out of his wits and ultimately sending him tumbling over his own shoes and knocking himself out. He might lose his job in the morning, but she knew he came from a well-off family and wasn't too concerned. At least no one could say it was technically her fault.
This was far too easy and she knew it, which was why her senses were all heightened and she kept herself in control. That was the way she liked it, in control and free at the same time. The rest of the heist just involved getting past some security cameras that should be showing a beautifully blank picture in 5...4...3...2...now. She made herself go carefully just in case this particular wiring system had extra settings she didn't know about. Luckily no alarms were tripped and she entered the main room without any difficulties.
There it was. The object of her desire for the past two months. She had worked hard for this one, mostly because it was just so...her. This was going in her personal affects, no selling on the black market for this beauty. The chocolate diamond pendant was going to be hers and hers alone. The jewel sat in a glass case just like all the others, but the others held no value to her now. She wanted the shiny chocolate diamond around her neck...but patience. Patience was key.
She pulled out an interesting looking tool from a pouch around her waist and proceeded to slowly pick the lock on the case, popping it open with a satisfying 'snick' and watching the door glide open flawlessly. Everything was going without a hitch. That is, until her greed got the best of her and she reached forward to grab the pendant without checking for other traps.
As soon as the chocolate diamond was in her hand, a loud blaring siren went off, overloading her sensitive hearing for a second before she realized she only had about a minute to get out of the store before more guards came running. Quickly, and almost sloppily, she scratched an S on the open door and bolted, shifting mid-run. The chocolate diamond she clamped securely in her mouth and her panic aided her change to wolf-form as she left the store the same way she came, avoiding the unconscious guard. She made it out the door just as the first guard found the open case and the police were just about there. With two quick bounds, she was on the rooftops and racing away, faster on four legs then she would be on two, leaving no trace of her passing. Who would think to check for pawprints instead of fingerprints when clearly one needed thumbs to disable an alarm system? Well, the Titans, but usually they were too busy to deal with a petty crime case like tonight.
