Jordana "Wyldfire" Martinez NAME
Cis Female SEX/GENDER
Original (Werewolf: the Apocalypse ttrpg) CANON
After being separated from her pack by the umbral storm CANONPOINT

At age fourteen, Jordana underwent her First Change - the transformative phenomena when someone is chosen to be a sacred warrior of Gaia (Mother Earth) and becomes Garou - a werewolf. This was a traumatic process as she and her younger sister were in the process of being sexually assaulted by unknown men. Every man in her life up to that point had been abusive, and she'd been given the means to fight back against the atrocities done to other women, including Gaia, through the Rage given to her by the half-moon.

After a tumultuous few years of werewolf lessons during which Jordana was unruly and combative toward men in general, the mentor that took her under her wing, Alana Mother's Embrace, thought she was ready to join the Black Furies - the werewolf family/tribe that only accepted women, stood against the Patriarchy/fought for women, are the living incarnation of a woman's anger, and caretakers of Creation. They believed that women are worthy or respect, honor, and sometimes even veneration, but aren't willing to accept that women are lesser than men. Jordana underwent her Rite of Passage to join the Black Furies, passing but not without difficulty as one of the tests was a spirit quest in which she needed to demonstrate balance in her enduring rage toward men, and understanding that men had purpose and place with Gaia, and that she needed to not look at men like they were all the ones from her childhood.

Tragedy was never far for Garou, and when a mission went wrong and her pack was ambushed by the enemy, terrible things were done to them resulting in the death of her packmates, her own sexual assault, and that of her mentor and alpha, Alana. Facing a horrific fate in the hands of their enemies, Alana was too injured to fight and had Jordana kill her so she could die with honor. Jordana managed to be the only one of the pack that survived after having suffered greatly. The trauma of having to kill her mentor and the circumstances surrounding children drove her to make a series of very poor decisions that went against her personal preferences in a bid to honor Alana and everything she meant to Jordana. This was how the lesbian Black Fury ended up bearing a child for Alana's surviving mate and failed to see the first signs that her sister shouldn't be trusted.

When Jordana's sister caused the accidental death of the child through negligence, it was simply too much on top of everything and something inside of Jordana broke. She fell into a mental state unique to Garou known as Harano, where the Garou dwells on how things were supposed to be, the "glory days", and the bleakness of whether anything the Garou can do will save Gaia. This hopelessness typically manifests in a supernatural depression and nihilism that's nearly impossible to break free from. Instead of killing her as some tribes might have, the Black Furies ordered Jordana to the tribe's ancestral homeland in the spirit realm to recover. It took a long time, but the support of her fellow tribal sisters, the ancestral spirits of past Furies, and some tending by her tribe's patron spirit, Pegasus, was able to salvage Jordana and pull her from Harano. The recovery process reminded her that it was the connections that they make, the care and effort put in even when there would be struggles, of women supporting women instead of tearing each other down, that give life meaning, that make the fight worth it, because Gaia needs the same support. These were the things she needed to remember and hold onto in order to stave off slipping back fully into Harano when facing loss in the future.

Jordana spent her whole life looking after her younger sister. She felt responsible for the terrible things that happened to her in their childhood as she'd been chosen by Gaia and stopped the men, but Lupe was not given that blessing. Her sister held a grudge against Jordana their whole lives for the same reason. As they grew, Lupe was easily seduced by men with ill intentions, drawing her in with promises of power, and Jordana kept making excuses for her sister, even when her sister slit Jordana's throat with silver. But when her sister agreed to trade Jordana's life to a bunch of vampires in exchange for the embrace, so she could finally have power too, the excuses ran out and Jordana could no longer let herself be blind to her sister's corruption. Still unable to kill her now-vampire sister herself, she allowed her closest packmate to do so, finally freeing both sisters from the cycle they had locked themselves into.

A very large black horse that's 18 hands (6ft) at the withers with a mane and tail that turns into fire after the first couple inches.

A single horn protrudes from the forehead that's as sharp as a blade and as strong as metal.

The Nightmare's mouth is full of fangs and possesses a prehensile tongue that's thick and splits to form an appendage similar to a three-fingered hand that can grasp and manipulate.

FLAME | Trails fire behind it when it runs, capable of setting anything on fire as it charges. It can snort fire like a short-ranged flamethrower.
FLIGHT | The Nightmare can run across air like it was solid ground, appearing to run on lines of fire.
SILVER WEAKNESS | Possesses a similar weakness to silver that Jordana has. If the Nightmare comes into contact with silver, the fire extinguishes and the Nightmare withers away to sinew and muscle, unable to snort fire or run on the air.

As the twisted version of Black Unicorn with its nobility stripped away and laid bare to assume the most corrupt aspects of Jordana's anger, the Nightmare will immediately attack any man it sets its sight on (even male children). It uses its horn as a weapon to impale, but also possesses a kick strong enough to crack wood. Conversely, it has a need to protect women/woman-identifying/NB people to extreme levels, even seeking to separate them from friendly male companions for their own protection.

To sate it's zadza, should the Nightmare get a man cornered or injured enough to no longer be able to run, it will attempt to bite the man's genitals off. When the Nightmare judges a woman is properly protected and safe, it will seek to use its prehensile tongue to pleasure adult women.
