personality described in one word;; Crafty.
brief personality;; A deceptive girl who's willing to do anything to get what she wants. Not exactly sane, but not exactly insane, either.
personality traits;; Deceitful - Manipulative - Cunning - Bold - Straightforward - Confusing - Misanthropic
short personality;; Varya isn't exactly the kindest of Hyeneas. She'll commonly insult those around her without even meaning to, and when she is aware that they were hurt, she just shrugs it off. She is cold towards newcomers, and will not hesitate to hurt you if you try to get too close to her too soon. Those who have wronged her now regret it. A vicious Hyenea with an attitude.
definition of personality traits;; Deceitful - A tricky girl to get around, Varya usually gains the trust of other Hyeneas, and then back-stabs them. She has no regrets for what she does - or does she?
Manipulative - She knows how to get what she wants. Varushka will oftentimes lie and cheat her way to the top before bringing everything to chaos and disorder.
Cunning - Varya is sly and quick-witted. She knows all the tricks, and she'll oftentimes use them against others. At times, she will also resort to blackmail.
Bold - This girl isn't shy. In fact, she's far from it. Varushka knows what she wants, and will get it no matter what. She doesn't care who she has to crush in order to get it; she will get it, no matter what the cost.
Straightforward - This trait goes hand in hand with her boldness. Oftentimes, Varushka will be pretty clear with what she wants. It might come off as weird to some, but to her, it's perfectly logical.
Confusing - Her antics may conflict her beliefs, but it's all a part of her plan. But sometimes, what Varushka does just...doesn't seem like her. She'll commonly use this tactic to muddle her enemies' minds before going in for the kill.
Misanthropic - Ah, yes. Her most obvious trait. Not only does she hate humans, but she hates other Hyeneas, other species... No one is safe from her hatred. Nobody knows why she hates everything and everyone; it's almost as if she's hiding something...
personality;; Varya, upon first glance, is a delicate creature. She's smaller than most Hyeneas, but get a little closer, and you'll see just how "delicate" she really is. Varushka is a cold-blooded killer with an attitude to fit. She's deceptive, sly, bold, hateful... But is that really all there is to her? Some believe that, because of her unpleasant past, Varushka has become the heartless being that she is today. But is there another side to this story? One that we haven't heard before?
long personality;; Varushka, more commonly known as "Karma", is a deceitful Russian spy who has only one goal: get what she wants, back stab her boss, and get out before anyone can kill her. Her little escapades commonly end in murder, but to her, that's perfectly normal - the world, after all, is a cruel, dog-eat-dog realm. Only the strong survive; the weak are left to shrivel and die. She learned this at a very young age, and because of this, has grown cold and bitter. Varya won't take trash from anybody; you call her a name, you get clawed in the face. Very simple. She oftentimes grows bored of her "job", and ends up toying with other Hyeneas - if not, the other inhabitant species of the area. She'll get on their good side, learn their secrets, and then, when they're least expecting it, strike back with a fury like no other. It seems that pure, undeterred hatred drives her on - but is that really the case? And if so, how did she get like this? Who drove her into this fit of rage that she cannot surface out of? Nobody knows for certain, except Varya herself. If you want that information out of her, good luck - it's nearly impossible to even speak to her, for Varushka distances herself away from everybody unless they have something of value. It may be possible to bribe her; but, then again, you may get scammed. She is, after all, a cruel, cunning Hyenea. Her philosophy is "look out for no one but yourself", which commonly leads her into betraying her "friends" in order to get something she wants. But in the end, this truly surfaces as her fatal flaw.

The Russian Hyenea smirks as Boo, the interviewer, sighs irritably. "Varushka..." the human grumbles sourly.
Varushka grins toothily as she looks over to the girl, bats her eyelashes innocently, and continues on with her introduction. "I am tventy-seven years old, and have... Quite the interesting job." Her smirk turns into a scowl. "I may tell you that I enjoy your company, but I am villing to do vatever it takes to get vat I vant. I vill crush those who tell me othervise.

Boo blinks in surprise and looks towards the camera. "I have the feeling this is about to get serious, so... Bye!" The human girl squeaks before turning off the camera.

ideal mate;; It is highly doubtful that Varya will ever find her perfect mate, but if she does, he (or she) must be alright with Varushka's way of life.

exes;; N/A.
notes about dating;; Most likely will turn out to never date... At all. Is very hard to win over, and not so quick to trusting. She'll most likely get into fights and put them through many tests.

You say act as if you like me. -sighs- Very vell, let us just get this over vith, then.
Heh, right... Well, to start us off, can you tell us a bit about yourself?
...If I must. -takes a deep breath- I vas born in Kirsanov, Russia, and lived there for most of my childhood. I never knew my father- he left ven I vas an infant, my mother told me. Ah, yes; my mother vas the Chieftainess of our Clan, at the time. She vas an honorable leader. Then, ven I vas a few years old, I believe, my dear mother had contracted tuberculosis. She died a gruesome death - coughing up her own lungs.
Oh my, I'm so sorry.
Yes, it vas quite tragic... At the time. But, as they say, "The past is in the past," da? -chuckles lightly to herself- Anyvays, after she died, I vas to become the new Queen of the Clan. But I vas too veek at the time - that is to say, I couldn't bear hurting anybody, even doing something as simple as breaking a kit's tail, to make a crook in it. I left Russia ven I vas ten years old, and never looked back.
I see. Did anything happen when you first came to America?
Nothing really special. I vas searching for a Clan to join, since I vas still too weak to fend for myself. -thinks a bit harder- ...Actually, there vas von...incident that occurred a few years into my little journey.
Oh, really? Do you mind sharing?
Nyet. It vas in the early winter of 2002, ven I vas fourteen - a while after the nine-eleven attack occurred, I believe. Anyvays, I vas sleeping in a small alleyway in Boston, Massachusetts, ven I vas roughly avakened by a clamor a little vays avay from vere I vas sleeping. I looked out to see a few humans searching through the garbage. At the time, I vas too naive - I vondered vy they vere doing that, so, being the foolish child I vas, I vent out to ask.
Oh my...
They took one look at me and recognized my species. Vell, more or less, they recognized how much the hair on my head and tail vas vorth. They came at me and quickly cornered me in the alleyvay. I vas utterly terrified - a veek, pathetic little Hyenea against two full-grown men vould never stand a chance.
How did you escape?
By pure luck, I suppose. There vas an opening, and I managed to scramble out of there before they could catch me. Soon after, I found refuge in an abandoned apartment complex. It vas rather nice. All the uncharted territory of the city vas mine, and I soon learned to live off the land.
That must've been pleasant. What made you leave?
News of the apartment complex being torn down, I suppose. I left quickly - vithout being seen, as that incident had left me terrified of humans - and hurried off into the forest just on the outskirts of town. There, I lived most of my life in solitude until I vas faced vith a rather difficult decision.
Which was...? If you don't mind us asking, of course.
Not at all. Apparently, there vere two varring Hyenea Clans in the voods of vich I had taken up residence in, and my little den vas just on the border. The patrols met vile I vas sleeping in my little hidden cove, and blood vas shed. I looked out, and almost immediately regretted that decision - one of the Hyeneas, from the Clan on the east side of the forest, had spotted me. He valked over and demanded my name. I said nothing.
Why not?
I honestly cannot say. I'm not sure if it vas because I vas too stunned to even comprehend vords, or if I had just given up hope. In life or death situations, you really don't care vat you do. You just vant to get out of there alive.
I see. Go on?
Vell, he got madder and madder ven I refused to speak, and finally, just snapped. He lunged at me, claws unsheathed, and that vas ven I made my move. I dove for his underbelly - he had left it vide out in the open, the fool - and immediately raked my claws down, drawing blood. That day, I committed my first murder.
How did you feel at the time that happened?
I vas scared, at first. I mean, I did not think that I vould make it out alive. But then, as I realized what I had done, I became prouder. I realized that I vas now tough - I could take lives, and as I looked into my new enemies' eyes, I could see their fear. I could smell their fear. I vas now a force to be reckoned vith. The Hyeneas took von look at their fallen comrade and fled, tails tucked between their legs. I just laughed and devoured the deceased's soul, before turning and valking avay.
Interesting... What happened after that?
A few years later - ven I vas in my mid-twenties, perhaps twenty-five - I vas rudely avoken from my slumber by a small, pink and grey Hyenea who I now know as "Cherry" Jerry. At the time, she vas only seventeen, but she vas still the ruler of a Rogue Clan. You have to admit, that's pretty good for a girl like her.
Yes, that is pretty admirable.
Anyvays, she had heard of how the rivaling Clans feared me - how I vas known for murdering any patrols that crossed my path. She had an offer that vould be irrational to refuse - for me to join her Clan. I mulled over the thought for a bit before accepting. But it vasn't for the success of her Clan - no, it vas for a greater good. My greater good. After all, there is no one more important than yourself, da?
I suppose some people look at it that way. Did anything else happen after you accepted Jerry's offer?
Not really. I've been vith her Rogue Clan ever since, slowly rising to power. I'm proud to say that I've made a new friend: "Cherry" Jerry herself.
That's nice. But, based off of what you said earlier - 'there is no one more important than yourself' - have you ever considered trying to murder Jerry, in order to get her power?
-chuckles- Nyet. That vould be a death sentence. She has followers, those who vould stick by her no matter vat she did. If I even attempted such a betrayal, I vould be outnumbered and brought down immediately.
I see. Well, there you have it, folks. A girl who's faced many hardships, but has risen above them and strikes fear into the hearts of the innocent. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Varushka Bolotnikov.

Now, who's the girl behind the computer screen?
Now, who's the girl behind the computer screen?
about me;; Hello, Winkatuck! My username is Rhett + Boo (named because this is a joint account), but it's actually Boo who's applying for this beauty. I'm a young adult female who's been stalking Hyeneas since I first saw them in Bottle's signature. I was thinking of asking her for one, but before I knew it, this adoption center came up, and my opportunity had been missed. I've been watching for a while now, occasionally applying for a Hyenea, but I never found the time (or muse) to complete a form, thus making me a non-owner. But now, I think I've found the Hyenea that's right for me.
why i want this hyenea;; I'll admit, when I first saw her, it was the mere wanting of a Hyenea that made me apply. I saw a pretty design, and just wanted to attempt a win. That was about a week ago, and I'd not even taken a glance at my form (mainly because I forgot). I re-found this beauty just yesterday, when I was in a creative slump, and suddenly, a small idea popped into my head. I started writing down a few ideas, and before I knew it, I had this gargantuan form written up. Now, to you, this may not seem like much - or maybe it is; I don't really know you - but to me, this is quite impressive. I've never done this much developing for a character, before, and I'm pretty sure that if I win her, she will (most likely) work her way up to my most beloved character.
At first, this form was solely based on the fact that she has an extraordinary design. But now, I see that she's a marvelous character in many ways; since it's an "impress me" competition, I get to pull out all the stops and really try to develop her, and I think I've developed her to the max here. Seeing as there are really no limits, I've found her design really flexible, and she's quite easy to write for. I really have managed to get inside her head and develop her properly.
This is why I want Varushka.
what i'd do with her;; Practically everything I can think of, I'd imagine. Sure, I might not be able to make her art twenty-four/seven, but I WOULD be able to make plenty of it in my free time. She'd get her own little ask page here on CS, most likely be the star in a comic I plan on writing if I get her, and would be the sole star of most of my art projects in my Drawing 1 Class in high school. Her story would be tweaked every now and then, but would relatively stay the same. Her character would be fleshed out more, so that she's more believable, and overall, she'll be a beloved character.
what she means to me;; At first, Varushka didn't mean anything to me except for a pretty face. But now that I've sat down and taken the time to develop her personality more, and to basically make her come to life here, I'm pretty sure that she means the world to me right now. She's a beautiful character - gorgeously designed, and well thought-out on my part. It would mean everything to me if I could make her my first Hyenea, and while she won't be my last, she'd be (most likely) the most cherished out of all of my characters.

credits/thank yous;; First off, I'd like to thank Bottle for making this lovely species. They're very unique, and I'm honored to have the chance to try to own one and be a part of this loving community.
Secondly, I'd like to thank Winkatuck for creating the design that I'm trying to win today. If you never made her, I doubt I would have found the perfect Hyenea for me.
I'd like to thank ~Willow for letting me use her two Hyeneas, Swagger and Jerry, in this form. You really helped me out; without those two, I'm pretty sure I'd have no Hyeneas in my form at all.
And I'd also like to thank everyone who stood by me and helped me with this form. If not for you guys, I don't think I could have found the muse to work out her character.
Finally, I'd like to thank my computer and my word processing systems for helping me out and standing strong the entire way through this form. I mean, yeah, there was that time I hit the "x" button on accident and started crying, but somehow you kept the file when I re-opened Firefox. Without these two elements, this form wouldn't have been possible.
...God I sound weird for that last part.
