## Application Sheet

Caelan was a reddish-furred she-wolf with reddish-orange eyes and darker fur on her back. She was one of three daughters born to former heir apparent Hellion, of Vektren, and ex-princess Elisabet, of Vale. Both had chosen to live as loners to be together, and Caelan was born a loner alongside Synnove and Priscilla. She and her sisters joined Aryn in the midst of the Hive Wars, but, called to explore beyond the Domain, she left the pack when the lands were safe to travel once more, and she hasn't been seen since. Caelan was created and RP'd by toboe5tails.

## Personality

* ***Rambunctious***. Caelan is a pup with boundless energy and then some; There's no off switch on this little rascal! She's always looking for the next game to play, the next tail to chase, the next bird to snap at. Oftentimes she'll bounce quickly from one activity to another, forgetting the game she was playing before almost entirely as soon as something else sufficiently grabs her attention! By the end of the day, usually she's completely worn out, though that doesn't stop her motor mouth from running well into the night.
* ***Curious***. Some might say to a fault. This girl is an avid adventurer, eagerly seeking out her next discovery wherever it might be...even if it leads her into trouble. Turning over stones, climbing trees, splashing around in the stream, Caelan is here to try anything at least once! This, of course, leads to a lot of stings, bites, pinches, and pokes for the poor pup, but once she's on the hunt, nothing will stop her. This also manifests in her love for her parents stories; she's enamored with the tales they weave for her by the light of the moon. She especially likes stories about the Havirian gods, and is quite devout, at least as a pup.
* ***Ambitious***. The sky is the limit for little Caelan, if she can be said to have limits! She's always aiming for the top, trying to better herself and improve her skills every day. This also leads to her being kind of a competitive sort of wolf, often butting in to prove herself whenever she spots someone else doing something cool or impressive. She fantasizes about one day being the fastest, strongest wolf in the WHOLE domain!
* ***Bold***. Caelan never backs down from a challenge. She's prideful and confident, with the self-assurance to know she can and will do anything she sets her mind to, whether or not that actually turns out to be true. She'll throw herself headlong into trouble, danger, and chaos without so much as a second thought, causing everyone else quite a bit of worry.
* ***Blunt***. To put it gently, Caelan doesn't have a great sense of emotional intelligence. She doesn't know when to shut her mouth and keep a thought to herself, and it's not uncommon to hear her say something thoughtless or insensitive. One might even go so far as to call her self-centered, or apathetic, given she doesn't seem to give much thought or understanding to anyone's feelings outside her own. To a degree, Caelan does care about the feelings of others, she just isn't especially good at expressing that.
* ***Stubborn***. When it comes to an argument, Caelan is like a furry brick wall. She will not concede under any circumstances, no matter how obviously wrong she may be. If pushed enough she may even start a physical fight over it, whatever it takes to justify to herself that she's right, that she's the 'winner'. Only the intervention of her parents will get Caelan to concede, however begrudgingly, but she would never admit to herself that she was wrong.

## Pre-Group History

Like Romeo and Juliet, Caelan's parents were lovers who could never be together. Though they wouldn't know it for some time yet, they were children of the leaders of opposing packs, and their relationship was one that was not to be. Hellion and Elisabet, however weren't ones to simply give into their fates. They met time and time again, in defiance of everything keeping them apart, and forged a close friendship no rule would ever hope to break. As time passed, the two's relationship grew more personal, more romantic, and much more complicated. Between Vale's disbandment, Vektren's war, and Hellion's part in his mothers death, the two of them had no choice but to make their escape. Both of them now on the run from Vektren, the couple soon came to realize they were expecting pups. Months later, the litter was born, nestled safely in the highlands of Vale's former territory.

## Group History

Caelan was *very* close to her sisters as they grew up. Ever full of energy and curiosity, the trio got into plenty of mischief, exploring around their den and meeting the wildlife in Vale's old lands. Once, they even met a black-footed ferret, almost as large as they, as pups, were!

Still, growing up in isolation from the rest of the Domain, from wolves beyond her parents and sisters, was *boring.* And, as she became a young adult, capable of providing for herself, she began to explore further beyond the old Valerian lands. Caelan wound up visiting the pack of Aryn, meeting a wolf just a bit younger than she was - Ezra. The juvenile Ezra was following Lidya through the snow to search for herbs that might have been missed, when they stumbled upon Caelan.

Caelan wasn't very alarmed to have crossed into pack territory (though Lidya and Ezra were hardly threatening), and was willing to hang around and speak to Lidya while Ezra went to fetch Lady Cassandra. Overall, she was fairly nonchalant about the whole "borders" thing.

Caelan was *not* a fan of the winter, though, to be fair, it was the coldest winter the Domain had ever seen: the Deep Freeze. She made as much clear to Lidya and Cassandra on her visit. After a few days, she left to return to her sisters, but she wouldn't stay away from Aryn forever.

Caelan, Priscilla, and Synnove were immensely relieved when the snow melted and spring arrived. They celebrated by splashing through the mud puddles left by the snow! The three sisters began to notice peculiar white wolves, hostile, leaving prey carcasses in their wake. This new threat, the Hive, was threatening pack wolves and loners alike.

After some discussion, Caelan and her sisters decided to join the pack of Aryn. They fell into pack life fairly easily, though Caelan would remain closer to her sisters instead of reaching out and forming friendships with her new packmates. With Priscilla and Synnove, who else was needed?

That didn't mean she wasn't friendly, though!

In their new pack, they were offered some protection from the scourge of the Hive. Caelan was comfortable officially becoming a member of Aryn, but didn't seek out a task, preferring to remain an omega throughout her time in the pack.

Times grew more dire for the Domain. Caelan was stunned when Aryn announced that their old enemy Vektren were going to be working with them, as *allies.* Her parents had always told her to be wary of Vektren, who sacrificed hearts and lived in the dark swamps. No matter what Lady Cassandra said, there was *no way* Caelan was going to trust *any* of them. Even when she found herself seated next to a Vektreni named Aralynn, she refused to put any trust in the she-wolf.

Her sisters felt very much the same.

Still, she would remain with her adoptive pack and fight side-by-side with the Vektreni when they faced their common enemy: the Hive. After the battle against Hive General Hex, the Arynians and Vektreni set off to the south to fight the Hive's supreme leader. The battle against the Queen's forces was brutal, but Caelan came through unscathed!

*Now that the war was over, wolves no longer needed to fear stepping outside the borders of a pack's territory. Loner life was always going to be dangerous to some extent, but with the Hive pushed into submission the free lands were much safer for a wolf on her own. Caelan had never taken well to pack life- the Arynians were kind and good, and she enjoyed their company even...but she could feel the pressure of responsibility to them weighing on her back. It held her down, and she was ready to feel free again.*

*It was hard to say goodbye to her sisters, to leave them behind after staying for their sake, but Cae knew they could handle themselves without her for awhile. It wasn't goodbye forever, just goodbye for now- not even fate could keep them apart for long.*

*But Caelan's calling was always to roam, to be free as a bird on the wind- and so one day when she spotted a hawk flying overhead, far past the borders of Aryn to lands beyond...*

*Caelan followed.*

And she hasn't been seen since.

## Trivia

* Caelan has one snaggle tooth on the left side of her mouth!

## Quotes

* "No particular reason I'm here really. Just the usual, hanging around, chewing on frozen rabbits all day to fill my belly, you know how it is. Can't say I'm a big fan of this whole 'winter' thing. What about you two? Looking to freeze half to death just for kicks?" (to Ezra and Lidya, *An Invitation*)
	+ "Try to keep your fur on. I'm not gonna bite ya, promise." (to Lidya, same RP)
