Solstice

Ezekiel (Brother)

Unnamed Brother (NPC)

## Application Sheet

Solstice was a charcoal-colored she-wolf with red accents and cider-orange eyes. She was born in Fellfang, to parents Soulstorm and Ian (though Ian was not involved in her upbringing) alongside two brothers: Ezekiel and an unnamed brother (NPC) who was sacrificed to Soulstorm's gods as an infant. She rose in the ranks as a member of the Hunt, but decided to strike out as a loner as a young adult after the death of a packmate, Bjorn, in front of her. She was designed by OneMinuteSketch, and created and RP'd by Willowbyrd.

## Personality

* ***Dedicated*.** Sol is completely dedicated to her mother, having no issue with the expectation for her later to produce more pups. She does not fight the rules set forth from the Gods and is their humble servant.
* ***Direct*.** She is typically very direct and to the point. She doesn't feel like it's necessary for her to beat around the bush with her intentions. This is one of the many ways that she is much like her mother.
* ***Practical*.** Normally keeping calm in any situation, using logic to get herself out of any situation. She rarely ever loses her temper, keeping calm with a monotone voice.
* ***Stubborn*.** Extremely stubborn in her dedication and unwilling to budge on her beliefs that she is better than the rest. She has no doubt in his mind she is the best and will always be.
* ***Insensitive*.** This goes directly with her directness. Sometimes she's *too* direct. Leaving others upset with her and feeling she is very cold and insensitive, much like her mother.
* ***Judgmental*.** Sol judges everyone around her that is outside of her mother and Ezekiel. She is highly annoyed by them all and normally just responds with an eyeroll and gross annoyance. However, even her brother annoys her with his upbeat attitude that makes her constantly roll her eyes.
* ***Depressed*.** Since the banishment of her mother, she has taking less and less care of herself in her loss of her mother. She has begun starving herself and no longer regularly grooming herself as well. Her fur is slowly falling out due to the malnourishment.

## Pre-Group History

Born of Soulstorm and Ian from a secret deal between the two in a one-night-stand, she was one of two children Soulstorm had in secret. She does not know who her father is and has Soulstorm as her sole parent. Since her mother is very aloof, Sol has inherited much of her dry personality, and being taught in the way of Stormhaven's faith.

## Group History

Solstice's childhood was shared with her brother Ezekiel (though she didn't want to participate in his games!). She doesn't remember her other sibling, who was sacrificed before her eyes and ears had even opened. Instead, Solstice spent a great deal of time with her mother, learning about Stormhaven's faith and the world around her.

As she grew older, she liked to go on walks alone, getting away from Ezekiel when she could. In early spring, Solstice decided that she wanted to be a part of the Hunt, and approached Fellfang's only hunter, Valkyrie, for lessons. Valkyrie agreed to teach Solstice what she knew.

She gradually learned the skills she needed and took her place as a member of the Hunt as a young adult. At this time, however, her mother Soulstorm would have her crimes revealed to the pack: she had murdered Solstice's infant sibling. For this crime, Soulstorm was banished from the pack.

Solstice grieved her mother's exile, breaking down in private. She loved her mother, in spite of what she had done, and hated that they were separated. After the trial, Solstice was approached by Doba, who confessed to the young she-wolf that *she* had reported Soulstorm's crime to Lincoln. Solstice was outraged by this, screaming at Doba, blaming her for taking her mother away and telling the Sage how much she *hated* her. Doba whispered her apologies and left to give Solstice privacy.

In the aftermath of her mother's exile, Solstice spent a lot of time trying to come to terms with her abandonment, and figure out what to do herself. Ezekiel tried to speak to Solstice, but ultimately, the best comfort was just one another's company, not words. Solstice continued to spiral, and against orders, she went out into Fellfang's forests alone, continuing her solo walks.

Distracted and anguished, she didn't abandon her duties, however, and joined a patrol with Lincoln, Valera, Valkyrie, and Bjorn. Their patrol encountered a Hive wolf, and Solstice could only watch in horror as Bjorn approached the white-furred menace and was killed for his friendly naiveté. The rest of the Fellfangir fought and killed the Hive wolf, but the damage was done: Bjorn was dead.

After witnessing this terrible event, and still grappling with her mother's exile, Solstice decided she no longer wished to be a Fellfangir. She chose to leave the pack shortly thereafter, to become a loner.
