## Application Sheet

Nephele was a gray-furred she-wolf with silky fur and pale gray-blue eyes. She was born in the midst of the Hive Wars, in Fellfang, to ex-loners (formerly Heylians) Barbosa and Orion. She had two littermates: Astraea and Qassiel. Her story is ongoing as she learns the skills of a Witch-Doctor, and bonds with her familiar, Uzura the rabbit. Nephele was created and RP'd by Phelza.

## Personality

Deeply empathetic, but as she grows older she will become more jaded in order to protect the mushy parts of her.

She has a big spot for her family, and believes that they always know what is best, they are the safest things to be around and are always the guiding light. She's very trusting of them.

She’s a thrill seeker, but doesn’t enjoy fighting or confrontation. She finds thrills in spelunking, and climbing up the sides of cliffs or other dangerous activities. She loves to dive off things into water.

She will confront someone about something that’s rather hurtful or she'll stand up for someone who she thinks need an advocate. When she does, she will shake and tremble profusely out of sheer rage/emotion. Which at times can be overwhelming.

She will stick up for her family. No one gets to be mean to her siblings or disrespect her parents. Though she doesn’t have a lot of confidence in herself to fully stand up to those who hurt her family, she will absolutely scowl at them in silence and be incredibly biased. She can be very stubborn and very good at giving someone the silent treatment.

She can be incredibly biased and want nothing to do with someone. If she hears her family say something bad about someone she will take it to heart, and mark it down in her enemy mental notepad.

She can have a completely unbridled anger, she can see herself losing control but can do nothing to stop it. This comes from a build up of emotions and frustration. It could happen at the crack of a twig. She has a habit of biting and lashing out when she's upset. She may also run away back to her den.

She can have a touch of blabber mouth, accidentally spilling a little too much information about the things she’s heard, like the things her family has said about someone. She speaks her mind and little sense of control over speaking it.

## Pre-Group History

Barbosa and Orion had been through one trial after another. They grew up as friends and spent most of their days together. That was until one of the adventures led by Barbosa got the kids into trouble with a raccoon. After the two were home safe and reprimanded for their careless actions, Barbosa drifted away from Orion. She was taught about survival and taking charge for one’s self, her first lesson was observing her adoptive father kill the raccoon. She matured quite a bit as she grew into a juvenile and decided to reunite with her friend. The two picked up where they had last left off and were more cautious about how they handled themselves. Barbosa wanted more though. She wanted to explore the world and see new things. When she told Orion what she wanted, he told her that he would follow her wherever she went, if only she would return to Heyl after her adventure. This wasn’t the most easy thing for Orion however, he was more comfortable around his family and wasn’t as incredibly wild-spirited as his best friend.

The two traveled to two neighboring packs, they enjoyed the new cultures and met plenty of interesting new faces. When it was decided that the two would return home, there were plenty of mixed feelings. But the two wolves made their way back to Heyl regardless, Barbosa harbored her secret that she wasn’t really planning on going back, at least not for long. She would stop by to say hello to her family and to her teacher before slipping away again. However, fate had designed something much more cruel. They spent a night together under a starless sky. It was the next day that the disaster unfolded. Barbosa and Orion were overtaken by a bear and were just barely able to escape, as Barbosa climbed the mountain side, she heard screaming behind her. She was so close to safety, so close to her family. But none of that mattered without Orion. She came crashing down onto the bear and fought back as furiously as she could, commanding Orion to get to safety. Barbosa cracked the bear's jaw and pried out its eye before it took her down.

She was found by a lone wolf, clinging to life by a thread and still holding the bear off from killing her. This wolf’s name was Braigiel. She stayed with the mighty loner for about a week before she was able to leave. During this time, Orion was facing his own battle. He was resting in his den, with horrible wounds from the fight. All the while his parents were in the midst of a pack crisis, and eventually perished to the foolish actions of their leaders child. Orion’s mourning and depression took over him as he recuperated in Heyl’s safe walls. While Barbosa travelled alone. She trekked back to Damasca and was treated again for her infections. But upon leaving the territory would be ambushed by two brothers who kept her hostage and loved to play mind games. It was difficult to have food to eat without it being taken, she’d have to fight for every scrap of food and would result in eating bugs and frogs to keep her strength. She was almost constantly awake with paranoia.

Eventually, Barbosa had escaped the two with a simple plan. She had caught a raccoon, and held it down as if she was starting to eat it. When one of the brothers approached, she let the raccoon loose and launched herself at the other brother, maiming his face and escaping with a high dive off a cliff, something she learned in Damasca. When she got to safety, Barbosa made sure to cover her tracks with mud and dirt. She was exhausted and could barely do much of anything. But when she didn’t think she was going to make it, a familiar silver wolf came back into her life. Orion was her knight in shining armor and was able to part the stormy clouds that were over her. He told her of Heyl’s fate and what had happened to his parents. The two of them were able to heal their wounds which left behind painful scars, yet together they were bearable. The pair wasn’t quite out of the woods when the two brothers came back to try and get revenge for what Barboosa had done to them. She and Orion, managed to escape and even faked Barbosa’s death in order to get away. Now they were at peace and eventually the two of them would come to terms with the feelings they felt towards each other and would become an official pair. They were able to finish their travels and decided that the loner life was becoming a touch too dangerous, with all the sightings of beastly wolves and rotting carcasses left behind their lives as loners came to a close when they came to Fellfang. Safe in Fellfang, the two became five. Nephele was born along with Qassiel and Astraea
