History
A true child of New York City, Anita was born when her mother was seventeen and living on the streets from the shame she brought to her unborn child's grandparents from finding herself an unwed teenage mother. Knowing that she couldn't provide a good home to her tiny daughter, the teenager left her at the hospital she was born at, trusting that the tiny dark girl would quickly get a home and be raised right. The only thing she could give her daughter was a name and a necklace: Asha, meaning hope and life, and a gold heart shaped locket with pictures of both herself and the child's father and of the infant's maternal grandparents.
Powers, Skills, and Resources
Powers
Anita is able to physically understand the subtle body language and vocalizations of animals. It's not exactly telepathy, but instead an instinctual understanding. There can still be miss communications, but for the most part, she can usually pick up on the general idea of what is being said. She's never understood exactly how it works, but animals can also understand her. If an animal is naturally friendly or protective, then she can ask for help if she gets into trouble. This is only really a factor if it is an animal she knows well.
Skills
The Dogs
A pair of Grate Danes Anita adopted when she got out of rehab. They're the only living things she cares for besides herself and often accompany her on outings in the city when she's not looking for her newest conquest.
Dodger
Dodger is very territorial and has to be locked up if Anita has strangers over. He stands 35" at the shoulder and weighs in at 126lbs. He's a typical fawn coloration with a black mask and ears on an other wise golden-yellow coat.
Relationships
Name | Relationship | Notes |
---|---|---|
Anna | Pack | Anna is Dodger's other half. He didn't like her when Anita first brought her home, but now he'll fight for her if anything threatens her. Die for her if he has to just to keep his pack safe. |
Anita | Leader | Anita is love, protection, home, safety. He trusts her more than any other human and would do anything to keep her safe. He watches over her and guards her and their home. |
Anna
Anna is the friendlier of the pair and is more willing to accept that there are certain types of people that move through their lives like a revolving door. She's 29" at the shoulder and weighs around 110lbs. She's an 'off' color and considered undesirable for breeding because of her chocolate color.

Dodger | Pack | Dodger is pack. He's family, he's home… Anna adores him, though she sometimes gets snapped at when she bothers him a little too much. This happened a lot more when she was younger. |

Other Information
Midnight black hair falls in a tangled mass of waves just past this woman's shoulders and frames a very square shaped face. Her perfectly groomed black brows arch over thickly fringed black eyes that seem to see more than most. Her nose is a little on the wide side, but not out of proportion with the rest of her face; her deep rose tinted lips full and pouty. She's tanned a deep caramel color and well toned from years of highly physical work with the long, lean look of a dancer. Her curves are more subtle than the exaggerated surgically enhanced look that so many women favor. She stands approximately 5'7" and appears to weigh 144lbs.
