Alani Astarte is a Elder Homid Galliard Black Fury. She was born in the early 20th-century.[1]
Biography[]
Alani was born early in the 20th century, and has seen the New York Black Furies through a lot of changes. She helped the group moderate the wrath it held toward homid women, whom the tribe regarded as hopelessly docile and soft.
Under her attentive rule, the Black Furies have helped protect the women's rights movement as women moved into the American workforce. She also uncovered signs of the Defiler Wyrm's predations on children, and the complicity of people in the medical community. This is her most critical concern, and she feels the need to pass the mantle of leadership to a follower who understands the need to fight the Wyrm creature menacing the homid children. Most of the contenders for rule are far more concerned with attacking the Wyrm than defending and healing the children.
The other Furies think she is most concerned with learning more about the Defiler Wyrm, but her true passion is finding a suitable successor who understands the world's desperate need for healing.
Appearance[]
Alani is an old, tough-as-boots governess, with a gentle face that can become stern and stormy in an instant. Her glossy black fur has become somewhat faded with age, and the metallic silver highlights in her fur faded to gray. In human form she is a gentle old African-Amrican grandmother with a shock of white hair. She wears old-fashioned black dresses.
