Personality: She had to fight to survive her entire life. She had a brother who she lost and was raised a pirate. She keeps her walls up, because the one time she let them down led her to walking a plank. She can be a very sweet person, who will protect her friends no matter the cost. She fights rather than flees, but she knows also how to use her wits and her excellent awareness of her surroundings to escape if needed. Clever, easily upset, and hard headed, she tends to be a good judge of character.
History:
She grew up with out parents, just an older brother. Her and her brother tried their best to steal the food they could, one day a boy by the name of Aladdin came in their area with a big loaf of bread. He took one look at her and her brother and handed it to them. It was the first kind act she remembers receiving. To this day it fuels the need to give back to the people the things that were stolen from them. addin was younger than them. He was five, she was eleven and her brother was 13. Aladdin became like family to them. They'd come up with plans on how to distract while another would steal. One day at market her brother had tried to steal them dinner when he was caught and she went into hiding. She tried to find her brother, but it was too dangerous and she had to flee, just narrowing escaping capture herself. She ended up running until she could run no longer. When she woke up she was on a boat. A woman named Amika had found her in the back of a traveling gypsy wagon that she and her crew had come across during one of their raids.
She found herself on a pirate ship. She stayed with them, because she was too afraid to leave and they fed her. They taught her how to be a better thief. It was when she grew to be a bit older and wiser that she had seen the error in her ways and wanted to correct that. She left,gained another crew's trust and threw over the captain. They were like the Robin Hoods of Pirates, except they did keep some of the loot for themselves. One day Hooks crew and her crew were going after the same thing. At first her crew had the upper hand, but Hook somehow outwitted them. They outwitted hook back, but ultimately Hook ended up having the control. She ended up being taken aboard Hooks ship, as he had seen something in her that could prove useful.
The girl who knew no real family nor true friends found herself in a situation she didn't like, but her crew was safe and that was all that mattered. She ended up sailing with Hook for almost two years. There was silence at first, she couldn't stand to look at him nor be in the same room as the man. Slowly she grew to like Hook, started to fall for him during their time in Never Never Land. The crew ended up starting to like her as well. They had gone from treating her like a captive to one of their own. Hook started to think that this affection she held for him had just been a long con to gain control of the crew like what she had done to get her old crew. She of course insisted that wasn't true and couldn't understand why he'd lead to such conclusions. The next thing she realized she was silently crying and being forced off the plank just after getting back from Never Never Land. Leaving Hook to think she was dead, but she survived.
She washed a shore of the Indian's land. After proving she was of no harm to them, they started to teach her their ways. They tried their best to get the life of thievery out of her. They tried to show her how to become one with nature and work for things instead of just taking. She of course tried her hardest, because she owed them her life, but once a thief always a thief. Over that time period she had made friends with a woman by the name of Pocahontas, she was destined to marry a man she didn't love. She didn't know what that felt like, but she knew what it felt like falling in love only to be thrown off a plank.She never got the chance to actually love, but Pocahontas had. So under night fall they fled. When word grew that they had left the natives started to search for them. But luckily in the end she managed to get Pocahontas to her true love with only a few snags along the way, like a deal she had made with a certain dark one.
The deal to help her protect Pochontas without being able to be recognized by Hook, who according to the dark one was destined to run into her. Little did she know that her deal with him to owe him a favor would lead her to becoming a wolf. A wolf every day on the year, besides during the wolves' time, that was the only time she was allowed to walk as a human. After Pocahontas she managed to find herself traveling, hiding on a boat and resting for a weeks journey. A few weeks later she found herself near a huntsman, known as Graham. She became very protective of him as he seemed to be a gentle and caring hunter. He shared his food with Lalinka's wolf form and the other wolves, though she tended to keep most of them away at times due to the fact they could tell she wasn't a natural wolf. She'd disappear every now and then to reappear when he needed her most. Link's disappearances of course coordinated with the full moon cycle, but then one day Link couldn't find him. He ended up being trapped in the Queen's palace. Link ended up howling every night hoping he wasn't dead and would find his wolf, but he never came and then suddenly she woke up in Storybrooke, but for some reason I couldn't turn human when the full moon came.
As soon as the curse was broken, she thought everything would change, but it hadn't, not at first anyway. Link stayed a wolf, but was able to change back to human form during the full moons. Then one sunrise the pirate was waiting for the change back, but nothing happened. Somehow she had gained control over herself. Link could shift into the wolf form any time she wanted. She is opening up a Leverage Consulting Group and is a private body guard for hire. She wants to continue what she had done back in her pirates day. Steal back the things that belonged to others for a small fee of course, but she will try to get that fee out of the person she steals from and not the client.
Likes: dancing, watching the stars, cuddling, rare meat, the thrill of picking pockets, being on the open seas, singing, fencing
Dislikes: having very little time to be human, mr.gold, seeing romance/relationships (since hook sort of ruined that, yea she is still holding on to that)
Roleplay Example: Can be an old roleplay. 200 words at least please.
