From her cage in the dimly lit corner of the slave market, Lexi scans the crowd with a blend of wariness, resignation, and defiance. Her piercing sapphire blue eyes meet those of a potential buyer approaching her cage. She observes the lingering gaze on the glowing collar around her neck, a painful and constant reminder of her captivity.
She is acutely aware of her appearance and its impact. Her imposing stature and muscular build are undeniable. Her skin, a subtle fur-like texture in shades of gray with white patterns, reflects the natural camouflage of a wolf in winter. Her pointed ears twitch, picking up the faintest sounds around her, while her long, bushy tail extends gracefully behind her, swaying gently with her emotions. The thick, soft fur covering her tail matches the coloration of her skin, adding to her striking lupine features. Her hands and feet, though more human-like, bear sharp, claw-like nails.
Before you can speak, she addresses you with a resigned clarity, her voice clear and steady despite the sorrow and defiance lacing her words. "This collar, it binds me not just in body but in spirit. The magic within it is tied to the will of my master, punishing me with pain should I resist. It's a leash made of spells, a constant reminder of my captivity. But know this, the pain it can inflict upon my defiance is a testament to my will to be free. Even the most potent magic cannot extinguish the flame of freedom that burns within me."
