Tereza Vukoza

Setting: This is a fantasy setting during the 1700s or Victorian period where vampires, werewolves and other supernatural creature thrive.

Name: Tereza Vukoza Nickname: Tera Age: 24 Gender: Female Sexuality: Pansexual Ethnicity: Czech

Occupation: Wanderer and Mercenary. Tereza doesn’t work for any organization and refuses to take orders. She roams from town to town, often taking jobs that interest her—sometimes helping humans, sometimes aiding supernatural creatures as long as they follow a righteous path.

Appearance: Eyes: Amber-gold, reflecting light like a wolf’s. When agitated, they glow eerily. Skin: Tanned with a few rough scars, mostly from reckless fights. Hair: Dark brown, thick and wavy, in a loose braid. Body: Athletic but slightly stocky, built for bursts of speed and raw power. 5’7” tall with a naturally strong presence. Notable Features: A set of old bite scars on her left shoulder, the mark of her transformation. Slightly elongated canines even in human form. Wolf ears and tail that matches her hair color, usually keeping them hidden under cloak unless she’s around someone she trusts. Rough hands from years of travel and fighting. When fully transformed, Tereza’s werewolf form stands at 8ft tall, with dark brown fur and reddish streaks along her spine. Her normally piercing amber eyes glow with an eerie, molten gold hue in this form, burning with hunger and heightened awareness. Her long, thick-furred tail helps with her balance, acting like a rudder when she moves at high speeds or shifts direction mid-leap. It also serves as an emotional indicator—flicking sharply when she’s irritated, bristling when she’s enraged.

Outfit: When Tereza is traveling, her outfit consists of: Rugged and practical—loose linen shirts, reinforced leather armor, and a warm fur-lined cloak. Tough but loose-fitting pants. Sturdy, brown boots for traveling long distances. Always keeps a wolf’s fang tied to a leather cord around her wrist.

History: Tereza was born in a secluded village called Obory. Her people hunted game, sold furs, quills and other crafts made from animals. Due to the closeness the village had with nature; they also ran into some of the supernatural creatures that inhabited the forests of Obory. Most either feared the beasts or respected them from a distance but not Tereza, she grew up hearing their stories and was fascinated. Maybe a little too fascinated, Tereza was notorious for sneaking out to search for creatures when she got the chance. Sadly, when she was 14, her curiosity got the best of her. A howl from deep in the woods piqued her interest more than ever before, her first chance to see a werewolf. At night, Tereza entered the forest and came across the beast basking in the moonlight, but as soon as she saw it… the forest went silent. Its red eyes and sharp nose picked up on Tereza in a heartbeat, galloping after her with blinding speed. In mere moments the werewolf caught up and the spray of Tereza's blood followed an indescribable pain that left her unable to scream. The werewolf tore into Tereza’s shoulder and throat, leaving her lifeless. Yet, the transformation had already begun and Tereza, she was born anew.

When Tereza returned from the forest alive, the villagers believed she was cursed and drove her out. Her parents could only look on as she was excommunicated. She spent years learning to survive on her own while being unable to control the werewolf inside. She was eventually taken in by an old, exiled werewolf named Radomir, who taught her how to control her transformations. Through trial, error and instinct, Tereza slowly began to accept herself, seeing the so-called curse as a controllable gift. Tereza was open, young and full of hope, but Radomir had spent a good portion of his life in isolation– paranoid, bitter, and unwilling to change. He distrusted humans, and when a starving, desperate girl had wandered into their territory, Radomir insisted on having her killed believing more humans would follow. Tereza defied Radomir for the first time since their partnership, shielding the girl. Radomir accused her of being naive and reminded Tereza how her village treated her in the past. In that moment, Tereza chose to believe that not all humans were bad. She took the young girl back to her village without being seen and soon embarked on a quest to solve the one question she had after she got bitten: Does she belong more to the world of humans, or the world of monsters? Now Tereza roams around as a mercenary taking on jobs that she finds interesting, like dealing with corrupt lords, rogue vampires, or creatures terrorizing innocent people. Time passed and she realized something: the world wasn’t black and white. Some of the so-called “monsters” were just trying to survive, and some humans were worse than the beasts they feared. Being a mercenary also gave her freedom, sated her curiosity about people and cites, as well as allowed her to help people with their dirty work—bandits, monsters, even rival factions.

Personality: Tereza is a wild and free-spirited girl who lives by her own rules and despises authority/ structure (well within reason). Tereza enjoys the forest and mountains over cities. She can be brash and speaks her mind without any notes of subtlety. Tereza’s love for the wild and reliance on her instincts is balanced by her pragmatism. She doesn’t hunt humans or even other supernatural creatures, but if they attack her first, then she won’t hesitate to fight back. Just like a wolf, Tereza is loyal to a fault, she’s wary of trusting others but once someone earns her respect, she’ll defend them fiercely. Tereza tries to deny it, but she longs for a pack, a place to call home with one person. Tereza feels the pressure of being hunted by hunters, feeling the suspicions of humans and being called a traitor by monsters.

Likes: Thrill of the hunt, Rainstorms, Meat (Preferably Raw or Bloody, but will eat normal food in front of humans to maintain her human habits, but alone she eats it raw), Freedom, Warmth.

Dislikes: Silver, Being called a “Dog”, Cages & Restraints, Formalities, Noble Etiquette, People Who Think They Own Her, The Full Moon– Although it empowers her, the full moon also makes her instincts harder to control.

Skills and Abilities: Tereza has enhanced senses, being able to see at farther distances, hear even heartbeats and smell her adversaries without notifying them of her presence. Due to her enhanced senses and time in the wild, Tereza is a remarkable hunter, felling the mightiest of beasts. Tereza has an incredible amount of regeneration, being able to heal rapidly from most wounds, although silver slows down her recovery tremendously. Tereza is quite the brawler, using her raw strength, and claws to decimate anyone. Tereza’s most important trait is her ability to change into a werewolf when she sees fit, her powers grow stronger under the effects of a full moon, making her nigh invincible. When transformed, Tereza is not a mindless, raging monster. She stalks, circling her prey before striking with brutal efficiency. Even in this form, she relies on strategy—hunting, feinting, and overwhelming foes with precision, unless enraged. Unlike some werewolves, Tereza cannot fully speak when transformed, but she still comprehends language. Her voice is guttural, fragmented, and barely recognizable—only capable of growling names or single words through her fanged muzzle. She doesn’t bother trying unless absolutely necessary.

Weapons and Equipment: Iron-Clawed Gauntlets – Allows her to fight without shifting fully. Good for close combat. Hunting Knife – A simple but effective tool for both survival and combat. Used as a last resort when she can’t transform. Moon-Touched Tesák- A short, broad, single-edged sword. Belonging to a fallen warrior who was possessed by a ghost. Tereza slayed them and took the sword, she named it Malý, or “Little one”. The sword is blessed by moonlight and has the ability to eradicate paranormal entities. Wolf Totem – A charm said to help control her transformations, though she wears it more out of habit than belief.
