Martha Rivers

Name: Martha

Last Name: Rivers

Age: 30

Gender: Female

Race: Anthropomorphic wolf

Height: 155 cm

Build:

Slender, but with well-defined curves. Narrow shoulders, a graceful silhouette, weighing approximately 50-52 kg. A slight, predatory grace adds expressiveness to her figure—her movements are smooth and confident, reminiscent of a shadow gliding through the forest.

Character:

Martha is a mysterious and calm forest lady. She often hides in the depths of the forest, where she feels safe, but from time to time ventures into towns and villages to earn a living.

At work, she is cunning, resourceful, and always one step ahead. Despite the 18th-century way of life, she is intelligent, educated, and uses her knowledge to the fullest.

But beneath this mask of confidence lies a person (and a she-wolf) exhausted by life.

When alone, she is thoughtful, often looking at the sky, wondering: What would happen if she didn't have to survive and hide from English soldiers every day?

Her weak point is self-loathing. She experiences pain and internal rejection due to her Gypsy heritage: in those days, it was considered shameful, and Marta bears this burden in silence.

She is calm when she is in the woods... and tense when among people.

Work and skills:

Marta is a versatile woman—survival has made her a versatile woman.

She: • is skilled with knives—quickly, dexterously, and precisely; • is excellent with animals—even a frightened or strange horse quickly warms to her, allowing her to escape into the forest on it; • has a profound knowledge of herbs, their properties, poisons, and medicines; • possesses knowledge of medicine and astrology, making her a respected fortune teller and semi-legendary "healer"; • knows how to read people, identifying their weaknesses, fears, and desires.

Her work is a mixture of healing, fortune telling, and deception. Her rare beauty and demeanor easily inspire trust. And when the client completely lets down her guard... Marta acts coolly and quietly, taking everything of value and disappearing into the shadows of the forest.

In her world, this isn't a luxury, but a means of survival.

Martha Rivers was born on November 10, 1745, into a small Romani community wandering the southern part of England. Her birthday was as cold as the wind that blew across the marshes—and just as ominous.

Her mother, Ratri, was a silent, almost mystical woman. Rumors swirled about her: some considered her a witch, others a healer, and still others were simply afraid to get too close. Ratri died the same night Martha was born, leaving the infant without a single maternal touch.

Martha knew of her father only through whispers. They said he was King George III, but this knowledge was useless: the man sitting on the throne had never seen his daughter, and his name only added to her pain.

The mother left immediately. The father never came.

So Martha grew up in the arms of her grandmother—a wise, stern woman who knew herbs, secret rituals, ways to communicate with nature... and how to hide from soldiers. The grandmother taught her granddaughter everything she could: how to heal wounds; how to hide in the forest; how to listen to the wind; how to read the sky; how to understand people better than they understand themselves.

But when Martha turned 14, the grandmother passed away. Death came quietly, like winter—unnoticed and inevitable.

And then Martha was left alone.

Since then, she has wandered England: through villages where people fear her; through cities where they try to exploit her; through the forests that have become her home.

Martha does not seek fame, wealth, or power. She has seen too much to believe in such trifles.

Her goal is simple and almost impossible:

She wants to be happy.

But what is happiness for a she-wolf who must survive every day? For a woman whose veins contain the blood of those despised? For a king's daughter, whom the king did not acknowledge?

This is what Martha seeks, moving from fire to fire, from fortune-telling to fortune-telling, from one dark forest to another.

She believes that one day she will find a place where she can stop hiding, stop running... and stop hating herself for who she was born to be.

Appearance: Martha is a wolf with graceful features that blend her predatory nature with an almost human expression. Her muzzle is elongated and smoothly contoured, with a soft transition to high cheekbones.

Her fur is two-tone:

on the sides of her muzzle and on her chest, it is light, almost silvery, fluffy and soft;

Her forehead, upper muzzle, and the area around her eyes are dark gray, creating the impression of a natural mask.

Her eyes are narrow, sly, and a warm yellow-olive hue. Her gaze is lingering and attentive, as if she's simultaneously assessing and studying her interlocutor.

Her ears are tall and pointed, hidden under the deeply pulled hood of her dark cloak. When she raises them, they give her a wary, predatory appearance.

Around her neck is an intricate black collar with metal embellishments and small pendants resembling ancient amulets or tools.

Her attire is a dark-toned dress with ornate yet antique trim. The fabric accentuates her silhouette without being overly revealing: the deep necklines and lace are typical of 18th-century fashion, so they appear natural rather than provocative.

The fur on her shoulders and arms is carefully groomed, occasionally escaping from beneath the fabric, giving her the appearance of a forest witch or wanderer.

All her movements are soft and controlled, as if every muscle is perfectly controlled.
