When it comes to clothes, well, Mica is the person who can wear just about anything and make it look good. Hey, when you a have the build of a dancer there are a few perks besides everyone asking if you need a cookie. She enjoys wearing all different styles with a tendency for punk dresses, low rise boot cut jeans, and skinny jeans with either oversized shirts cut to be off the shoulder or something delicate and girly. Normally. She really isn't picky but she does love shoes and especially boots and heels.
As a wolf, Mica is a classic grey wolf edging towards pale color with a few small dark markings. She’s somewhere between small to averaged size for a lycanthrope.
Personality: Mica has s a spitfire personality that makes her stand out in a crowd. She definitely has a devilish streak and can be sarcastic and quick witted. Bold and self-confident most the time, it takes awhile for her to really let someone get close, though. She can be tenacious to outright stubborn,as when she's working out a problem for hours and sometimes longer. She sometimes will hide how smart she is, because it amuses her to see the shock when someone is surprised. Steadfastly loyal, she'll also hold a grudge really well.
She's surprisingly resourceful, cunning and has an unflinching ability to accept hard choices in life, but does have a very strict personal ethical code, even if others don’t see it. She didn't ask to be a lycanthrope but neither has she ever really despised it, just how some have treated her. She really doesn't care what a person is, just who they are.
Mica has a romantic side she rarely lets on. Many say she's finicky or a bitch because she can be flirty and playful but is picky about who she'd actually date. In short, she's a vivacious sort of woman who'll keep you on your toes and isn't afraid to take on a challenge or challenge someone back. For those whom she’s come to care about she’s fiercely loyal and can be viciously protective of like her two “brothers”.
History: Micah had a normal childhood. Mica's mother, Svetlana, came to the US from Eastern Europe to be a ballerina. Unfortunately, a car wreck ruined those dreams, though she became a dance instructor. Mica’s mother married an accountant (Frank) and together they had two children. Mica and her younger brother Mathew grew up just outside of Seattle, Washington in a comfortable, average middle class household.
Mica excelled in school but was only too happy when her mother let her drop from ballet. When it came to ballet, her mother had Mica learning to plié as soon as she could stand practically. But Mica hit an early growth spurt and Svetlana let her quit because she was simply getting too tall. Mica over all had a happy easy childhood. She had friends, dated, the usual until her infection.
For her 17th birthday, Mica went out with some friends to a party by a lake. The short version is, that at some point Mica was away from the main party when she saw a girl getting bullied. Later she’d learn it was a cat shifter getting picked on by a group of wolves but at the time she had just gone to stand up for someone she saw in need of help. One of the guys tried flirting only to get rebuffed. The group was mostly laughing at her lack of interest and teasing her harasser while the girls were both jealous and irritated as a whole. The other girl left with the group’s attention on Mica.
The whole thing was just pissing Mica off whom in true spitfire personality her temper and it seemed her ‘attacker’ didn’t expect intimidation to not work. The result was the arrogant wolf ended up shifting unexpectedly when he lost control of his emotions and attacked. It didn’t last long though since it freaked the other wolves enough they all beat feet away. Mica managed to get herself help before she passed out.
At the hospital, she was treated for the apparent “animal attack” while her parents were contacted. It’s not like she could say the “dog” was really a guy who turned into into a wolf! Before her parents arrived, one of the adults from the pack the group of teens were from came and “checked her out”. Mica was told bluntly she’d be lucky to survive her first moon but if she managed to, she better learn quickly to appreciate the honor of being more then her lowly human self.
Unfortunately for the snobby, purist pack, Mica did survive. The pack despised having to care for the infected wolf, especially as the Lycaon’s son infected her and made for a black mark. In turn, they made the next year or so of Mica’s life difficult to say the least. Mica didn’t grow bitter, instead she learned what she could and bided her time as she made use of her hacking skills. As soon as she could, Mica left.
She briefly considered going home but how did she tell her parents she was a shifter and not get sent off to a lab or nut house? Instead, she drifted for a time till she ended up heading to Stone Mountain Pack after being accepted into a college program down there. Mica settled into the pack and was happy there didn’t seem to be the same stigma for being infected (it had not been her choice) and she could attend college.
At college, there was a housing mix-up and she ended up assigned to the same room as Ben, a human, and Josh, one of her pack mates. Since she didn’t care about sharing with two guys it has turned out to be the best things ever. When they graduated, the trio all moved in together at Stone Mountain to her delight even if they both make her question her own sanity sometimes.
Abilities: Mica is a really good hacker. She loves the mental challenge and surprisingly her wolf nature helps when you consider it is like a digital hunt to her.
She is still a good dancer and will even use it as a way to clear her mind. Even if not a passion, doing it everyday for 16 years did leave her with some skills so ingrained it's natural.
As a wolf, Mica is an average beta.
Weaknesses: She can be stubborn especially if she thinks she’s doing the right thing for someone she cares about. Normally her temper flares and cools quickly but if she can certainly hold a grudge if you really piss her off. Combine those two traits and messing with someone she cares about? Mica can be downright viciously protective of considering how hard real friends are to come by.
Mica also tends to keep things in; she's got only a small circle within her group of friends she opens up to. This extends to her relationships where casual is one thing but opening up enough to really feel (actually have a relationship) is hard.
Quirks: She can't scramble eggs, she's a good cook and she can make omelets, which are close but that professional looking scramble eggs? Nope, they never come out right. Otherwise she enjoys cooking well enough.
Mica is that girl you see dancing (the clothes stay ON) on tables or a bar but completely sober.
Weapons: Mica: "Uhm shockingly, I know, but the mind really can be a great weapon." She’s a tactician at heart though and prefers cyber warfare but she had claws and teeth.
