Krinn Valencia

"There is nothing worse than a sorrow that never heals."

Krinn in his wolf form is the size of a dire wolf and his fur is a cobalt blue color. His eyes are intelligent and he can speak. In his human form he stands at a height of 5'7, with long cobalt colored hair he keeps in a single braid down his back. His hair almost reaches past his knees. He often wears light blue clothing, favoring that color and his eyes are almost a honey color. In human form he has tiny sharp fangs, and his fingernails are longer and sharper than is what's considered normal for a human.

Krinn is a sad creature, often depressed. He is slow to anger most of the time, and quick to force a smile on his lips. As if he can hide his sorrow behind a fake smile.

Krinn has the ability to change his form to that of a wolf. Though one day he will no longer be able to turn back human, as this is a curse and his time is slowly running out.

It had been such a long time ago, so long that the number of years have been forgotten. It had been a foolish thing to do, trying to outsmart and goad a wizard into giving away his secrets and treasured magical items. All it had resulted in was getting Krinn cursed. Cursed to be immortal but to live out his days as a wolf. A beast with the mind of a human and the ability to speak. For many years Krinn had prowled and lurked along the forests of this realm or that. Hunting, stalking prey and only sometimes venturing near other people.

One day the fates had smiled upon Krinn, or so it would seem. The wolf met a were-leopard and somehow that creature had corrupted his curse. Perhaps it had been their love for each other, and oh how Krinn had loved that man so deeply. The corruption to Krinn's curse had come as a surprise, the full moon had risen, and his love had begun changing. A painful thing for the were-leopard, and only wanting to comfort his mate, Krinn stepped closer to nuzzle the man. Something sparked inside of him at that touch, and Krinn's wolven body changed to his human one. It was amazing, surprising and a welcome thing. The curse wasn't fully broken, but now Krinn had gained the ability to change between the two forms, though all except for that night, the full moon would trap Krinn into his wolf body.

Years and years flew by. Too many to count, too many to remember the actual number of. Oh if only happy days could stay happy for ever. Krinn's lover vanished. Almost right before his eyes, the wolf fell into a fit of rage and for years he searched for his mate. The trail always cold, never finding him. Never finding anything. Years pass and pass, time moves on, and Krinn has felt a change. In his heart he knows his lover no longer lives. Still he searches, in vain. Something changed in Krinn. Each time he goes to his human form it becomes harder, and the change is painful. He knows he doesn't have long, one day he will once again be stuck in wolf form without the ability to change to his true human form. It seems that now, more than ever, it's worse. With each passing year, it becomes harder to change.
