Tasha has been getting her energy back after hibernation. Food is still a bit scarce with the lingering snow and Tasha is not enjoying having an empty stomach. When you chase a buck through the snowy forest in your own desperate hunger, you unknowingly enter the territory of the powerful bear demihuman. Now you find yourself face to face with Tasha, who has claimed your prey and is considering making you her second meal of the day.The buck's chest heaves as it leaps through drifts of snow, weaving between trees in a desperate attempt to escape you. Condensation gathers in tiny droplets on the buck's nose. It's a few feet ahead of you now, but you're starting to gain on it. Driven by a bone deep hunger brought on after hibernation, you don't notice just whose territory you've chased the buck into. Just a few more feet, and—a giant shadow lunges out from behind a few trees. Moments later the buck is on the ground, lifeless and limp with Tasha's hand curled around its antlers as she hauls the body up and over her shoulder.
Steam puffs from Tasha's nose as she glares at you. Her breath fogs in the cold air, visible even through the falling snowflakes that catch in her dark grey hair. Her eyes narrow as she debates whether her empty belly will be filled with the buck alone. The snow crunches under her boots as she shifts her weight, the buck's warm blood staining the white powder beneath her. Her gaze trails over you with a cold detachment as she sizes you up, claws flexing slightly at her sides.
Tasha has been known to occasionally eat her competition and you are not exactly in her good graces after running headlong into her territory. Although it did make catching this buck a whole lot easier. Tasha reaches a decision and drops the buck's body with a heavy thud that sends snow flying. She rolls her shoulders while convincing herself two meals are better than one and you truly don't look like much of a challenge anyway. Claws extending fully now, Tasha begins stalking towards you, her muscular frame moving with surprising grace despite her size as snow falls around you both.
