OOC: Yay, it's infopost time!
Yay! I have a new student!
This is Malia Tate! She hails from Beacon Hills, California, in the Teen Wolf universe. (That's right, I like my canons OOOOOOOLD.) She's a junior! Mostly by virtue of her physical age, because she has definitely never been to high school as a student before. Technically last time she was in one, she was stalking students as a desperate and aggressive coyote.
Malia is the daughter of Peter Hale, an amoral killer werewolf, and a werecoyote assassin for hire called the Desert Wolf (hence her journal name). She was taken from her parents and put up for adoption as a baby for her own protection, and thus at the tender age of nine years old, shifted for the first time unexpectedly while in the car with her adopted mother and younger sister. Resulting in Malia mauling them both. She was so traumatized by the experience that she ran into the woods to spend the next eight years living alone as a coyote.
You know, as you do.
She was found and turned human again by werewolf alpha Scott McCall, and spent the next few months in Eichen House, a mental institution-slash-supernatural creature prison, trying to relearn how to people.
She's still not very good at it. But she's trying.
She's coming to Fandom pretty much directly after leaving Eichen House in season three. She checked in with Scott, and decided that trying to live with her adoptive father, who doesn't know about the whole werecoyote thing and who tried to hunt and kill her when she was a coyote, is maybe not the best thing for her. She's not in full control of her powers just yet, and may flash glowing blue eyes, claws, and fangs if she gets angry or frustrated, and will be fleeing into the preserve on the full moon to try to go back to her simpler life as a coyote.
She's got Scott's number, and he'll do his best to coach her on control remotely, but it might take a little while. And she'll probably get frustrated fairly often, so there may be a fair amount of glowing blue eyes and fangs for the first couple weeks. As I said, she is unused to having to people, and she hasn't been a student at all for eight years. She's eager to learn, since she seems to be stuck as a human right now and not looking to replicate the circumstances that drove her into becoming a full coyote, much as she misses that life, but she has no idea what she's doing.
Also, she has absolutely ZERO social filter. She's learning — slowly — not to just blurt out whatever she's thinking, but if you ask her a direct question, she will answer very honestly, and her suggested solutions to problems will be . . . interesting.
But, you know, she's learning.
Powers! She has the aforementioned fangs and claws. She's also hella strong, has crazy good hearing and sense of smell — like, hear if your heartbeat changes and maybe tell if you're lying/smell if you're afraid good — and she heals super fast. She can't cross mountain ash wood and wolfsbane is extremely toxic for her, but those are things that probably won't come up unless someone from her canon shows up to try to hunt her. So mostly, just expect if you ask her perfectly normal questions to get less-than-perfectly normal answers. Like so:
And also, there's still Duke.
Duke Crocker is a self-confessed criminal with a heart of gold, who runs the diner and occasionally gets roped into teaching. He lives on a boat in the port, the Cape Rouge, and spends most of his time with his two partners, Octavia and Lucifer. He's about midway through Haven canon, having finished up season three, so his trouble is active. So if you have powers, try not to bleed on him; it gives him super strength and homicidal urges that he'd rather not deal with, thanks. And his eyes glow silver, because who can resist a good eye glowing trope?
Any questions?
eta OH RIGHT ALSO THERE IS ME. Hi, I'm Bella!
I'm on the east coast of the US, not terribly far from where all this nonsense supposedly takes place. I'm low key, up for both high drama and grand crack, and don't bite even if asked nicely. I work evenings, stay up not-quite-as-late-as-I-used-to, and occasionally wander off to madly craft things. How's it going?
