Dianne_Aroha

(Note: Yes, I say she's religious and have two quotes from the Bible, but that does not mean either her or I are crazy-religious-manz or going to try preaching to you.)

"It was just as though I had been let into some conspiracy- I don't know...something not quite right."

Background

Dianne had been a regular human girl in Earth, growing up in a religious family with her own dreams and goals. She was a loving one who always wanted to be a doctor and help people. She did well in school, went to collage and then to medical school, and became an official doctor by the age of 25. It was at this time that her goal changed. Her brother had joined the military years earlier and, a few months after her career start, he was killed in combat. She was determined not to let this change her, but she still decided to become a military doctor rather than a local doctor. She applied and was put through in half a year, then going through basic training.
The job suited her amazingly despite the combat happening not too far from her own post. She could help people like no one else, though not even she knew why this was; she was just better at her job. That is, until she happened to overhear something that didn't sound good; she can't even remember what is was about anymore. But she never had a chance to alert anyone to it (having hesitated the day she heard it), whether or not they'd listen, as she was made the victim of something she'll never really understand... She slept in the home she had, actually having bought a house nearby her post when given permission, that night, but when she woke in the morning she felt different. Opening her eyes she screamed and fell off her mattress, staring at herself. She was some sort of feline monster! She had no idea what had happened to her, but it certainly couldn't be good. What's worse: she couldn't even try to get help like this; she'd be attacked on sight. Without any real options she did what came to her as she panicked; get away. Luckily, she was able to avoid any prying eyes as she stumbled around the landscape in her new body, having woken unusually early in the morning, and got to nearby mountains. She spent the next few days barely kept herself from starving as she tried to find out more about herself and her new body.
She never really had time for this. Within a week of her having been transformed into this...creature..., while she walked about the mountainside looking for some food, there was suddenly a huge explosion right in front of her, right on top of her camp. Just as her military post was vaporized the waves hit her. She expected to die...but...how did she have time to expect to die? This question went through her mind just as she realized she was still alive. Opening her eyes after the blast she found herself completely unfamiliar. It couldn't even have been the landscape after the bomb hit; it was just...different. Now her wooded mountain was covered in snow while more fell from the sky. Looking around she could see lights of a city, something closer that appeared to be a park, a lake...and the mountain was the only place with snow. What kind of magic was this? She had no idea she wasn't even in the same world anymore...

Current

Dianne is now living in nexus as she has since her unexplained appearance here an unnumbered amount of years ago. However, she doesn't live in the city or park, she lives on the mountain she originally found herself on. This isn't because of preference of any kind, but due to the fact that she's somehow bound there. Every time she attempts to leave the mountainside just goes on and on and when she turns around it doesn't take her long to get back; It's like at some point she can't advance any further. So, she has set up her home there. Most of the time the mountain is cold and covered in a thin layer of snow, but there are times when the landscape is a nice green. Despite the weather conditions, however, she is always able to find enough fruit and similar food to keep herself alive.
Part of her life, becoming her focus after she realized just how often this happens, is to help people on her mountain. Most either get lost, run out of food and/or water, or are even just not adequately prepared for the weather up there; and she finds them and helps them.

Personality

Dianne is one of those people one might choose to describe as a 'saint' because of her attitude. She's always looking out for others and loves to help anyone who needs it, though she is likely to ask if they want it first. She tries her best to be kind in all situations and keep herself from reacting in anger. She is , however, perfectly willing to defend herself if the need arises. Of course, like anyone, she can be upset enough to lose sight of her ideals, but it takes a bit of doing to get her upset enough that she'll act on it and she will never kill anyone. She has learned to be her new self, and is actually slowly losing her memories of what her life was before changing into the taur.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

Appearance

She has no idea what she looked like before she became the arctic tiger. Now, though, she is...well, an 8'5" tall taur, 10' 1" long (not including her tail). Her fur is a grey-ish white, with a few spots of black fur (refer to above picture). She has long, straight, white hair and green-ish blue eyes. She is quite sturdily built, though she is lean.

Abilities

Dianne has several different natural abilities she gained when she was changed and has slowly been discovering over the years.
-Her saliva is a natural pain killer. If someone is hurt she can lick over their injuries and they will start to feel less painful soon after.
-Her stomach, despite being a tiger, doesn't have the capability to digest meat. Instead, her stomach acids help them to heal any physical 'damage'. She can heal a broken leg, but not a terminal disease.
- her second stomach has muscles that nearly no one else has. These enable it to stretch out and change shape inside her within reason.
-Her fur is surprisingly 'giving' of her warmth. While she is hugging against someone they will warm quickly, but it's not enough to help people with very low temperatures.
-She will not die of old age; she is 'immune' to natural deaths and ailments and will permanently look the way she does now.
-More to come as she discovers them!

Timeline:
Dianne helped Tommymorph survive after being brutally attacked on her mountain and is now great friends with him. Currently, they are seeking a way to free her from the mountain.
During her friend's absence she found Aloo struggling to run from some kind of slaver, the taur assumes, and helped hide and heal the fox. Now, she owns her in a very loose master/pet relationship.
