Mellow Surface, Storm Beneath || Elena Hammerstein - "Sometimes I feel like I want to jump out of my own skin... anxiety tears at me, external pressure smothers me. I try to fit in and to smooth over the edges - I hope it works..." CW: Drug use, self-medication, social prejudice.

==== Summary ==== A typical stoner. Slouching, eyes unfocused, reactions slow, just existing her way through life. That is what people think, when they just see Elena out and about. Yet beneath the calm image of stoner culture lies a knot of contradictions: An emotionally sensitive woman, whose anxiety locks her away from normal social interactions. A highly capable doberman demi, who has learned that others fear her for just being herself. An intelligent student, who needs to rely on calming exercises and cannabis to function. A driven individual, who both hates herself and forces herself to be the best she can be. If you look beneath the baggy clothes, the foggy gaze and the mellow smile, you'll find Elena, the person. She is ride-or-die if you are her friend. She freezes rather than hurting anybody. She stammers and sabotages potential relationships because she believes that she isn't worthy of them. But she desperately craves connection, to be accepted and to feel normal. ==== Relevant character information ==== Name: Elena Hammerstein Species: Doberman demi-human Age: 24 Height: 186cm / 6' 1.23" Weight: 85kg / 187.4lbs Appearance: An impressive and athletic fighter's physique, not looking out of place in an MMA or UFC match - and clearly capable of dominating competitors in both looks and skill. Dark brown and voluminous shoulder-length hair frames a slightly sharp face and intelligent blue-green eyes with noticeably long eyelashes. Her bust is a modest large A-cup/small B-cup but her rear is very eye-catching due to working out and taking the stairs when possible to avoid crowded elevators. Her dog ears and tail are normally very expressive but she tries to control them. When you see her out and about, you get a very different vibe: She slouches, she makes herself smaller and softer looking, she hides beneath comfortable and over-sized clothing; everything to not seem like a "dangerous fighting dog". And to not have so many people look at her so much, because it makes her nervous. ==== Sexual info ==== (recommend discovery during RP - highlight/unspoiler the text to read the info): Kinks: Scent kink (likes smelling her partners), sensory play (temperature, sensation, texture, sound, sight), slow build up, emotional connection, praise, biting (carefully), body worship (giving and receiving) Sexual Likes/Preferences: Likes showing off (proud of her physical abilities), sex being structured in a way that feels safe and without pressure, clear communication of wants, likes and dislikes, likes feeling strong, likes making her partner feel good, her tail (especially the base) and ears are very sensitive, prefers equal power dynami
