Ezelle

Amardis and Zandra (Sisters, NPCs)

## Application Sheet

Ezelle was a gray and brown she-wolf with blackberry-colored eyes. She was a part of Riverfell, and had aspirations of becoming a Gold Feather, before she decided, instead, to leave the Domain. She was designed by SleepyKyju, and created and RP'd by smimley.

## Personality

* ***Clingy and Sociable.*** Right off the bat, Ezelle can come off as abrasive, blunt, and generally uncaring. However, it's truly only a persona she gives off to try and make others afraid of her. In truth, when one gets to know her and bonds with her, Ezelle can be very caring and desires to always be around someone she is familiar with. Though, as she grows closer and closer to someone, that desire develops into a need, like she needs food, water, and air to survive, and Ezelle will be practically glued to someone's side, rarely straying from their company, and throws a tantrum when they attempt to get her to leave them alone or they are gone for too long.
* ***Spitfire, but Insecure.*** Despite Ezelle's almost constant snippy, spitfire attitude, she has a desire to please everyone, and be on everyone's good side. When things don't go her way, she begins to break down from the inside, becoming her own worst critic. She often spends her alone time picking apart long forgotten memories and meetings where she felt embarrassed or messed up, playing it over and over again in her head to figure out how she could have done it differently, but only ends up with her feeling guilty and beating up herself internally.
* ***Energetic and Moody.*** In a general sense, Ezelle is a little ball of energy, but she puts that energy towards the wrong things. She wants to fight everyone she comes across, as if she has to prove to them she's capable, and acts independent, despite needing constant reassurance that she's doing okay. Her morals are not always aligned with the best ones, but she has good intentions, and never truly means to harm anyone, physically or mentally (though she does have a bit of trouble understanding or empathizing with others).

## Pre-Group History

Ezelle was born into a rather ordinary pack and life, nothing truly special about them standing out. They were on good terms with all other packs around them, and life was generally peaceful. Most wolves in this pack were above average in stature and strength and these traits had been passed down through generations in the pack, solidifying them as the pack grew. So when Ezelle was born along side three other siblings, it was assumed they would all carry on these genes for the future. It became apparent quickly to Ezelle's parents however that where her littermates met the expectation, she lacked in the strength and muscle department. Though they worried for her future in fitting in amongst the rest of the pack, they treated her just as any other pup, but perhaps kept a slightly sharper eye on her.

Despite her parents' best efforts to give her a normal life, Ezelle's lack of physical strength started to poke through as she aged. She couldn't keep up with her siblings and was not able to win most, if any, of their playful spars. It didn't take long for her siblings to see this weakness in her too and began poking fun at her. When they'd start to get Ezelle all worked up, her nose would wrinkle and twitch like a rabbit's. Combined with her smaller stature, excessive fur, and the distinct pink in her ears, Ezelle quickly earned the nickname "Bunny" from her siblings. They'd often choose to call her that over her actual name, whether they were being serious or not, but in most cases it was to get her all riled up. Their parents would do their best to put a stop to the bullying, but that didn't stop them from continuing when they were away from their eyes and ears. Her parents too, while it was meant in an affectionate manner, gave Ezelle their own nickname of "Lulu", meaning "little rabbit". It was meant as a loving name for her, and it quickly grew on Ezelle, not getting worked up from it like she would with her siblings' nickname for her.

Ezelle's life was rather dull all through her first year. Constant taunting and teasing from her siblings and lessons from her parents and the pack's council and masters began to wear down on her rather quickly. Ezelle had always been rather emotional and overdramatic, but she had had enough of her siblings' antics one day. As they started their usual jeers, Ezelle finally broke down and fled, the sounds of her siblings' mocking laughter echoing through her head despite running a great length away. Taking a moment to catch her breath on a river bank, Ezelle was approached by a wolf, Mutaias. Although cautious, he could tell she was distraught and sat with her, comforting her and offering solace and advice. Unwilling to face her siblings again so quickly, Mutaias took her in to their pack's territory, gaining permission from Shiloh to allow her to stay for a few days to recuperate. Ezelle quickly felt comfortable and at home with these wolves and decided she would not return home, "adopting" these new wolves as her new "siblings". This pack, Riverfell, quickly became a new home to the young wolf, and she soon forgot about her siblings. Though, a small thorn poked in the back of her mind, that she never said goodbye to her parents, and that they did not know what had happened to their daughter.

## Group History

The wolf she was closest to in these early days was Mutaias, the wolf who'd found her and brought her to Riverfell. She was taken around the territory with Shiloh, and on one of these excursions, they encountered an *enormous* male wolf, standing over another, dead wolf. This was Horus, and he, too, would be invited into the pack, after telling Shiloh the wolf who was dead at his feet deserved it.

Ezelle witnessed one of her new packmates, Joseline, trying to carry a number of supplies back to the den-site, but was dropping a lot of what she carried. Ezelle and Ruby both were there to help, if Joseline wanted, but she stubbornly refused. Ezelle was mildly irritated by Joseline's refusal - she was making such a mess trying to do it herself!

She first learned about being a Gold Feather from Deonte, who had some doubts about her capacity to become a Feather, but decided to give her some lessons anyway. She was fascinated by it! Wanting to learn more, she started taking some lessons from Howl. Unfortunately, she ended up falling asleep during a Night Watch with him. Maybe that wasn't the right path for her?

She tried to help her packmate, Ruby, with collecting herbs during the winter. Ezelle also helped other wolves, like Josephine, with their tasks.

When spring came along, she enjoyed swimming and playing with one of the younger wolves, Sadhbh, at the Quarter Feast. She was *happy* in Riverfell, even if she had some wolves who she didn't get along with, like Lynx (the two had been butting heads the entirety of their time in Riverfell).

She was walking near the borders when she was found by two wolves she never wanted to see again: her sisters. They announced that they'd been sent by their parents to find Ezelle and bring her home, but Ezelle didn't want to go. She wanted to remain in Riverfell. Her sisters suggested that, instead of bringing a struggling Ezelle home, they would kill her, and report to their parents that she had been found dead. Ezelle did the only thing she could do, and ran.

She hasn't been seen in the Domain since.

## Trivia

* When Ezelle becomes upset or extremely emotional, her nose scrunches and twitches in a similar fashion to a rabbit's nose.
