PERSONALITY [break]

Positives:[break][break]
Materialistic- Aleski is very materialistic, her mothering nature and personality seems to come natural to this white furred female. Aleski is by default loving, understanding, patient and good with young cubs or even adolescence. This instilled trait is what has always affirmed and driven Aleski's desire to become a mother or at the very least, become a nanny. Aleski seems to know what young ones need, what they require and how to make them smile, sleep or settle. [break]
Affectionate and loving- Stemming from the materialistic trait is her affectionate and loving personality. Aleski has always been a cuddly and possibly clingy bear; she loves affection and cuddles, no matter who they are from. Of course, if it is someone she loves, then it is better. Aleski is one for physical touch and interaction over verbal speech. She sometimes finds herself struggling to find the right words, whereas actions and touch will more often portray her meaning better. In saying this, she can speak well, but there are often situations she finds herself lost for words or tongue tied. [break][break]


Netural:[break][break]
Slight conservative- Aleski is not shy in her beliefs but she is slightly conservative in that she dislikes large and drastic changes in life. Aleski prefers stability and enjoys life remaining the same. While change scares her and while she dislikes it, she will be hesitant for change to occur, but will not outright oppose it; unless it is something she feels strongly about. [break]
Emotional- Although Aleski is a reasonably large bear - weighing in at around 230kgs (507lbs) - averaging at around 2metres in height (6.5ft), she does not have a thick or tough skin. Aleski is very easily upset and tends to get emotional about small or minor issues, for often those small or minor issues are important or weigh heavily on her. Aleski will often try her best to keep her emotions in check, especially if those she knows poorly are around, but she is absolutely terrible at bottling her feelings. Often, her bottling of feelings will merely make it more clear that she is upset. [break][break]


Negatives:[break][break]
Naive: In the sense that she believes cubs are the future of the dynasty. She believes in falling hopelessly in love and feels that cubs bring a joy like no other. She does not really understand that there are other things in life which can bring greater joy and a greater sense of accomplishment - perhaps such as power. While there are battles and political troubles, she remains loyal to the clan but views caring for and having cubs as more of interest. [break][break]



APPEARANCE[break] Weight: 230kgs (507lbs)[break]
Height (at the shoulder): 2metres (6.5ft)[break]

Aleski is a little over average in terms of standard sizing for female polar bears. Not by much, however. Aleski is a lot heavier and rounder than she is tall; much of her weight being her stocky build which she was born with. In comparison to a male though, she is still at least half their size. Aleski has shaggy wooly fur that's white and soft to touch. Aleski is particular about her appearance, liking herself to look nice and neat whenever possible. Aleski fusses not only over herself, but those she cares for as well. This particular bear will groom all day if she has to![break]

Aleski's legs are small and stocky, her ears round and small while her nose is a little big; darkened around the edges. Her eyes are dark too, to match. Her paws are seemingly large; often as a cub, causing her to stumble or trip over herself, however they have adjusted and seem appropriate to her body stature. [break][break]

HISTORY[break] Aleski was adopted into the clan when she was very, very young. Aleski is unsure how she was found or what had happened before, but rumors were that she was discovered abandoned near the edge of the dynasty land. Although this happened, Aleski was treated no less than any other bear in the dynasty. She was cared for by the nannies and grew attached to one in particular. This nanny- Amaya, became like a mothering figure to Aleski. Aleski learned many things from Amaya and it is rumored that Amaya is one of the reasons why Aleski became a nanny as she got older; to follow in her adoptive mothers paw-steps. Aleski has held two mates and has birthed one set of cubs. [break][break]

OTHER INFO [break]
Parents: She does not recall her parents - she was adopted into the dynasty when she was rather young. Aleski was cared for by a nanny who felt more like an adoptive mother more than anything else. Her name was Amaya. Amaya was a brown bear who had big muddy colored eyes, she died about 6 years ago due to old age and left Aleski in a state of pain. The passing of her adoptive mother has since eased.[break][break]
Siblings: She has no siblings to her knowledge.[break][break]
Other Family of Significance:[break]
First mate: Vorek (Hazelle ) - Vorek was Aleski's cubhood sweetheart. The two were nearly inseparable and it seemed only right that the two became mates. Vorek was the one who Aleski thought she would spend her forever with, but alas the two had one big problem...A disagreement on their future. Aleski had always wanted cubs, it was one thing she wanted more than anything else. But, Vorek held no interest..He in fact seemed unprepared for such responsibility. The issue caused the two to fight and eventually split, but Aleski's feelings always remained.[break][break]
Second mate: Esevin (not played by anyone; up for adoption) - Esevin was Aleski's second mate, she loved him too and took him as a mate a little while after she and Vorek split. Esevin was a wonderful mate, he and Aleski seemed like a good match but they too split as Esevin and Aleski struggled to spend quality time together for one season, there were a large amount of cubs birthed. Aleski was kept very busy, caring and teaching the little ones. It put a large amount of strain on her relationship, ultimately causing them to split. But, it is possible the two could still make things work...[break][break]
Offspring: Once Aleski had split with Esevin, she spent a little time with her first mate, Vorek. The two did not become mates again for their differences remained and they both still knew that. It was brief, her time with Vorek. But, months later, she discovered her pregnancy. Aleski was unsure who was the father, Vorek or Esevin. It could be either, really. Deep down though, Aleski believed it was Vorek - her first love. But, even now, it is hard to say with certainty. [break]
Vhalru (not played by anyone; up for adoption) - Vhalru is a small but stocky male polar bear who has pale white fur and dark muddy colored eyes. He is the oldest of the two cubs, but only just. [break]
Luisa (not played by anyone; up for adoption): Luisa is the younger of the two cubs and this is reflected in her size. She looks very similar to her older brother, but is smaller and has lighter brown eyes. [break][break]
Likes: Being around young ones; playing and cuddling, swimming, hunting and educating young ones about basic things within the dynasty. [break]
Dislikes: Fighting, violence, politics.[break]
Fears: Never finding her true love, being alone, her cubs or those she cares for abandoning her or simply not needing her.[break]
Strengths: Aleski loves water - typical for a polar bear, she loves swimming and splashing around in the cool depths of any ocean, lake or river. Whatever the depths, she will be nearby. Aleski is a natural born swimmer, being able to swim for days if she wished! Aleski is also a rather good hunter; she does not do it as a rank for her maternal nature seemed to drive her more so than her skill as a hunter. [break]
Weaknesses: Aleski is not one for fighting - although she will argue and may even get defensive if she must, she dislikes it greatly and is very poor at doing it. Aleski, while big, cannot seem to fight well at all. Her paw-eye coordination seems to be all off.[break]
