[glow=GLOWCOLOR,2,300]ANIMA BLAIR - " STORMS DON'T WEEP FOR THE DROWNED "[/glow]

It seems that she's the first one to come across the strange group. She's not even really a true member of Blackfall, merely hanging around whilst she gets the necessary resource to repair her gear and move on to go back to the wilds. She's out of the settlement letting her hawk fly for a while though, keeping scraps of meat in her pouch to make sure Seven returns at least. Seven, for all that she loves him so, is still a bird. She raised him, the two working as a pair, but Seven always wants to leave and spread his wings.

Seven spots them before Anima does, and as he tends to do around large groups of strangers, lands back on Anima's hand. The talons dig into her arm that's held out for him to land on as she turns to look at the rag-tag group. Without her fur hood and bow, she doesn't quite make the first impression that she'd like to. The mutated dog catches her off-guard more than anything, watching it warily as they come closer.

That thing could snap and kill anyone. Annie has always been wary of mutated creatures, they're not natural and of the land. They were usually bad to hunt too, being unsafe for consumption and she'd heard that their blood was toxic. Pelts were mangled and marred. But yet these four, three adults and a child, have it with them as if it's a pet or a companion, similar to how she keeps her hawk.

Still, she picks her bow from where it's left against a tree, letting Seven hop onto her shoulders before she walks towards the group. Anima refrains from nocking an arrow for now, admittedly she only has two on her person at the moment. One for the mutated dog for sure, should it decide to go for her or her bird. She has no idea how to approach these people either - feeling very uncomfortable between the fact that she's outnumbered, that they have horses and that bloody mutated dog.

Still. Someone greeted her when she arrived.

"Can I help all of you? There's a civilisation nearby, Blackfall?" She sounds very unsure of what she's saying, but sounds confident enough that she doesn't seem too putoff by the circumstances.
