Characteristics: Aralez were created by Eve as a sort of guardian to her monsters. She created them to help watch over and protect her monsters; granted them the abilities to heal creatures, even raise them from death.

When born an Aralez does not have their abilities to heal until they gain their wings. In order for an Aralez to gain them they must move to physically protect another with their life.

Appearance: Aralez appear as normal skinwalkers until they gain their wings that are angelic in appearance.

Powers/Abilities:
Enhanced Strength: They are stronger than humans and have the same strength difference as normal skinwalkers.

Super Speed: In their animal form, Aralez are faster than humans.

Accelerated Healing: Like skinwalkers, they are able to heal much faster than humans.

Super Senses: They can smell better than humans in either form. Their hearing is also enhanced quite a bit.

Infectious Bite: A bite from a Aralez can turn someone into a skinwalker.

Shapeshifting: They are able to shift into a canine form. Lyra's canine form is that of a golden labrador retriever with light green eyes.



Protective Wings: Once their wings have grown they are capable of using them as a shield that can protect against many elements; but they are not invulnerable to damage. They can also use these to fly and manifest them both in human and canine form.

Healing: Aralez are able to heal creatures by hovering their hands over the wound. A white light will glow from their hand and the wound will heal magically. They can also heal by licking a wound in canine form.

Resurrection: They are able to bring back deceased creatures with their tears.

Vulnerabilities:

Silver: Like skinwalkers, Aralez can only be killed by silver to the heart or head.

Likes (At Least 3): 
❤ noisy dog toys... you know with squeakers, bells, or ones that crinkle
❤ being held or cuddled by someone she cares about; Lyra is very affectionate... a big time hugger, sometimes even with strangers
❤ cloud or star gazing

Dislikes (At Least 3): 
✗ the way her fur smells when it rains (or anyone in the pack really... I'm lookin' at you, Lux)... the rain is nice but it makes a dog stink and makes her hair look awful
✗ being whacked on the nose with a newspaper or being sprayed in the face with a water bottle
✗ when people are complete Gloomy Gus or Debbie Downers. Cheer up already!

Fears (At Least 2): 
☬ Losing her pack... her family
☬ Many hunters. They've experienced too many who are out to kill creatures like them without a second thought or any consideration.

Goals (At Least 1):
★ To help Lux keep their pack running smoothly. To keep their family dynamic and to not let outside forces hurt them. Maybe to even help the pack grow, though Lyra doesn't care how big or small the pack is, as long as they are all loyal and trustworthy (which unfortunately, she isn't convinced that everyone is)

Personality: Lyra is a very sweet, kind-hearted girl. She isn't shy in the least and is usually very friendly when meeting new people, so much so that sometimes people find her to be a bit too much. She can be a bit pushy about getting people to express their feelings and has a hard time understanding when enough is enough. Honestly, her heart is in the right place. She genuinely wants people around her to be happy.

While Lyra generally wants to spread cheer and good vibes, there are certain people who she is most loyal to. In a conflict, she may not always stand up for herself and might let herself get pushed around, but if it gets to be too much she can either lash out or have a panic attack, depending on the situation.

Lyra fully believes she has a psychic gift. She loves "new agey things" like tarot cards and crystals (even though she doesn't actually know how to use them) and sometimes thinks that seeing shapes in the clouds are signs or visions.

Positives (At Least 3):
✧ sweet
✧ cheerful
✧ optimistic

Negatives (At Least 3):
✦ can be a little ditzy and naive
✦ is prone to panic attacks when she gets upset or scared
✦ some people might find her kind of pushy

Parents: Unknown
Siblings: Unknown
Other Family: Nope
Important Others: The rest of the pack
History:
Lyra knows nothing about her birth parents. She was in the foster system since she can remember. Apparently she was brought into the hospital by an unknown person who didn't leave behind a name or contact information, and that's all that she was told. She was in and out of foster homes and orphanages for the first several years of her life, and it was during this time that she met Lux and Rylan.

The first time she shifted into her canine form, it scared her but fascinated her at the same time. Even though it turned out that Lux and Rylan were the same as her and did their best to help her manage her transformations, she had a difficult time controlling them, especially when she got overly emotional. It was because of this that she accidentally shape-shifted into her canine form in front of a man who was fostering her. Not a nice guy by any means. He was harsh and neglectful and only provided the bare minimum of care required to get a paycheck for keeping her. But this? This was too much. Lyra was barely 11 years old at the time when it happened, and he chased her out of the house brandishing his shotgun, screaming at her the entire time... that she was a nasty, disgusting, fucked up monster.

That was both the worst day and the best day for Lyra. The reaction from her foster dad and the threats as she ran away from that place and to her friends sent her into her first panic attack. Luckily, Lux and Rylan were true friends and managed to calm her down. And much to her surprise, when she told them of her intention to run away... to never be put into a foster situation like that again, they chose to go with her. She didn't know it at the time, but it was the start of a new pack... a new family.

Over the next several years, they picked up many new members of their pack. The most notable for Lyra was Jasper, who wasn't a skinwalker, but was a familiar... a cat. For three days prior to meeting him, Lyra swore she was hearing a cat purring in her ear at night (turns out Jedrek had developed a sinus infection and was just lightly snoring, but this was just too much of a coincidence for Lyra). So of course, when she found out what Jasper was, she took it as a sign. Not only was he meant to join their pack... but she also clearly had a gift!

The pack grew to a quite sizable number and they came to have their own community... a group of cabins where they all lived. And life was great, at least until those cabins were sold and intended to be torn down. The pack was forced out of their homes and have been on the move trying to find a new place to call home.

RP Sample:
Beth glanced over at the passenger seat as she pulled into the gas station. They had been driving for nearly six hours and Dean had been asleep for about two of them. It had been two days since she first met him back in Michigan and honestly, she was amazed that he had stuck around. Grateful... but amazed. Dean had so far proven to be quite interesting company... not to mention eye candy for the road that didn't give her a stomach ache or cavities.

The gas station was so empty that Beth almost wasn't sure if the pumps even worked anymore. There was a lone dusty green pickup truck parked in the very back corner of the gravel parking lot that ran alongside the small convenience store. The filling area looked to be the only section that was paved, and it was old, cracked pavement at that. She considered waking Dean in case he needed to use the restroom but she decided against it. Even if he did need to make a pit stop, she doubted he'd want to do it in a smelly, cockroach-infested gas station bathroom.

Beth pulled up to the pump and shut off the engine, looking over at him once more. Two nights ago she had kissed him and run out before giving him a chance to reject her. They hadn't talked about the kiss since then and he hadn't given any sign of clue that it even phased him. If Dean was at all intrigued or repulsed by that one little display of affection, he was very good at not letting it show.

She got out of her car and closed the car door, walking around to look at the pump and frowning when she realized there was no credit card reader. With a sigh she hoisted her bag onto her shoulder and went inside to prepay. There was a fairly young guy slouching at the counter and looking far too tired or too stoned to work there... it was hard to tell which. Beth decided to wander around the store to gather up a few snacks for the road. She needed to stretch her legs anyway.
