Physical Description: Hunter stands about 5'9", fit and petite in figure. Her hair is typically a shoulder-length bob. She's naturally has auburn colored hair, but occasionally dyes it different shades of brown or blond. When naked-faced, one can see her reddish-orange freckles, on her light translucent skin. The sun bakes her like a lobster, and she often wears long-sleeves/hats/etc and avoids the sunlight when she can. She's a believer in skin-care and sun screen.
Her natural eye-color is green, but she's unafraid of wearing color's contacts and changes it on a whim. When one looks into her eyes long enough, there is something vacant there, but she doesn't allow others to maintain eye-contact long enough to know she's hurting. A master of body-language and facial-expressions, she understands how important it is have synchronous tone, language and body.
Personality Description: On the surface, Hunter appears to function normally. She has a job, can be personable in short-bursts, and appears driven by
something. She's very good at maintaining superficial relationships, engaging in small talk and cultivating those relationships so long as they fulfill a function to her goal.
A true chameleon, her mask changes to what is desired from the other person, so she doesn't know what her 'true personality', or "true interests" look like. She's meticulous in applying her personas, and hard to crack once she's made a decision about who she is. A true method actress, her impetus to survive has lead to her long career.
Below the surface lives an unstable woman, disassociated from the guilt of her crimes. She's incredibly cold, short, and easy to anger. She's always searching for something, someone, that will calm her spirits and give her peace. Peace that's elusive.
History:Hunter was born Jan 1, 1981, a New Years gift to her grieving mother. Her biological father's death was marked as an early heart-attack; though the real reason of his death is unknown to Hunter. She was a toddler when her biological mother passed away, and her memories of her mother are few and far in-between. From what she's been told, this was a good part of her life.
As a toddler, Hunter was not aware that her mother and adoptive father were revolutionaries. She wasn't told how her mother died and found out later, as an adult.
Her first tangible and happy memories were of the time she lived with her adoptive father, Haroun, in London. She wasn't aware that he was struggling as much as he was, and she loved all the clothes that he would make her. She doesn't remember him being short-tempered, or having financial difficulties.
Her worst early-childhood memory was when Haroun dropped her off in Istanbul with his family and she realized that he was was "abandoning" her. She was enrolled in a year-long boarding school, Zappeion, that supported her education, and her extended family treated her well. In Istanbul, she adopted the nickname, "Gülten" for her rosy skin, and became fluently bilingual. Hunter excelled at Charm work and Defensive Against the Dark Arts while in school. She also took an early interest in acting, and thought that if she could share an interest in her father's work, he would love her more.
By 13, Hunter became disillusioned, and felt abandoned by her father who only visited her once a year during her summer break. By 18, Hunter was admitted to Nicosia University where she studied History and joined an organization Lykánthropoi Enantíon Toúrko (L.E.T.), the student led branch for werewolf equality. At 21/22 she joined the militia, despite Haroun's protests
[1]. She also learned of her mother's death from Haroun and resolved never to speak with Haroun, again, blaming him for her untimely death.
She joined the milita at 21-22. She lost herself in the war and disappeared from her adoptive families lives. From this she was exposed to legends of the Tailor and learned his role as a revolutionary.
For the next 5 years, Hunter trained as a hit-wix and revolutionary operative. She learned Greek, Arabic, and improved in her English through her work. She honed her acting skills, became acquainted with worlds so different from her own and her character was broken and reformed through the hazing of the military work.
After 7 years, Hunter became an independent assassin/hit-wix. She maintains an 'official' occupation as a security wix and wand-for-hire but is known for her lethal skill in the right circles. Hunter does not believe herself to be above any type of magic - she has resorted to Dark Magic and Blood Magic, among others, to get the job done.
Presently:
Breaking her promise to herself, Hunter moved back to London to seek out her father
[2] under the alias Hunter Dogan. Hunter fails at killing her dad, and they are navigating a tenuous relationship. She began working for
Salvador Falcón as a personal security wix and met the chef
Nate Briggs at Wolf & Lamb. They have an unhealthy tumultuous relationship
[3].
Describe your job duties and how you go about them: Hunter is a personal security wix. She provides security work for Salvador, assuring his safety. She excels at defensive spell-work, and she is a decent duelist. Hunter is exceptional at memory and surveillance charms. The bulk of her work is observing, integrating, and waiting. She is extremely patient, and will use the other persons weakness to break them down and make them vulnerable to an attack. There are no lengths she won't go to hit her mark and she doesn't have that much remorse for the work she participates in.
Elaborate on your expertise in your field:Hunter trained for many years in the militia as a revolutionary and later sold her skill as a hit-wix/assassin. She is bright and has learned skills to integrate herself into a community to get close to her mark. She's learned in charms, defensive against the dark arts, blood and dark magic. Hunter doesn't play by the rules, and makes for a good assassin because she'll figure out the other persons weakness and exploit it. She's been successful in killing many people.
Writing Sample:Not first character!
Sum up your character in one paragraph: Hunter is a complex character who has worked as a spy operative and assassin for many years. She doesn't have many close relationships, and lives on the fringe of society where she lives and works in the shadows. She can be cruel and doesn't have a lot of empathy for others, which makes her excellent at her job of hit-wix. On the surface it's hard to see the tumultuous relationship she has with herself, and her lack of apparent weakness makes her excel at her job.
