Luan

Solune and Twyla (Sisters)

## Application Sheet

Luan was a pale-silver male wolf with charcoal and beige markings, and very pale green eyes. He was born outside of the Domain, a brother to twin sisters Solune and Twyla. He would join his sisters' pack, Mhor, after the conclusion of the Hive Wars, though was heartbroken to learn Twyla had passed. After reuniting with Solune, he decided to return to his home pack to let them know what had happened, and hasn't been in the Domain since. Luan's design was inspired by Lachtaube, and he was created and RP'd by bluebellpaws.

## Personality

* ***Affable***. Luan has always been a friendly character, it usually isn't hard for him to find ways to keep a conversation going with a wide range of companies. He's good at reading social cues which often allows him to know and manipulate the interactions he has at an astute level. It's better to have a good impression on others,  because you never know when the wolf you might meet will come in handy later. This is something Luan lives by,  always lingering in the back of his mind.
* ***Dependable.*** Count on me, I'll be there. Luan always puts the priorities of his loved ones and packmates first. In his youth he was used to being the grounded brother in comparison to his two sisters, he grew up wanting to be someone others could rely on, especially when things got tough. When his sisters left Luan felt as though he had failed at that, now he tries extra hard so that this wouldn't be repeated with another loved one.
* ***Honest***. He doesn’t believe in lies, unless it is absolutely called for. Luan has always been someone who speaks his peace, he holds out hope that this will be returned but he’s not naive to believe everyone has the same morals.
* ***Spiritual***. A key belief that has been embodied since youth is his deep spiritual understanding. His mother was the one to introduce him to connecting with nature and finding his inner self, it has been a strong pillar in keeping his mind and heart strong during trying times.
* ***Finicky***. Luan likes things a certain way, he keeps things neat and tidy. Usually avoiding situations that will cause him to get messy or lose control of the situation. Personal space is a big factor to Luan, who doesn’t appreciate having others all up his face or business.
* ***Moody***. Like everyone Luan has his good days and his bad days, however his moods tend to be subject to change on the more frequent side. Little inconveniences can ruin his entire day if he wakes up wrong whilst on other days he is the happiest wolf in the world.
* ***Judgmental***. While Luan may show a kind face, he is always observing others' actions.

## Pre-Group History

Childhood was a sweet memory for Luan, surrounded by family he was blessed with two warm hearted parents and two twin sisters, Solune and Twyla. Whom he adored. It was a world of wonder for the young Luan as he was taught to respect the land and their food sources, his parents were avid believers of this and they made sure that this was installed in the pups from youth. The rest of the time Luan’s would spent stuck to his sisters, the three of them would play from dawn to dusk if they could get away with it.

As Luan grew into adolescence he became absorbed into the idea of protecting and preserving his homeland, he would especially spend time listening to his mothers teachings on spirituality. He would come to have a particularly close bond with his mother over this, she taught him to connect to nature, to listen, to smell, to absorb the energy. It grounded him as a restless teen. As he grew from lanky juvenile to young adult the siblings looked to find a place in the ranks, Luan naturally fell into a hunter's role, Accompanied with his sister Twyla, he enjoyed the adventure, the chase but more than the hunt, he protected the land. It felt like he was contributing to something much bigger than himself.

It would come as a surprise when one of his sisters, Solune, was betrothed to a neighbor's son. Thankfully Solune seemed to take a liking to her new future mate, which came as a great relief to Luan and Twyla too. Her betrothed, Zuke, was among two brothers Luan would often hunt alongside, so it eased him knowing who her mate would be. He liked the wolf, even going so far as to seek him out for patrols to get to know him better. He should have seen the signs… He had noticed how Zuke would confuse his sisters on occasion for one another, which was often the case for anyone outside the family. Something just didn’t feel right when Zuke spoke to Twyla, Luan couldn’t place it but it itched at him…

The inkling came to a terrible realization on the night Solune and Zuke were meant to be joined. Zuke had disappeared, rumors spreading that he had eloped with someone else from the pack. Despite Solunes' encouragement that she wasn’t upset, Luan knew that it must have hurt, after all they had welcomed Zuke into the family. The following night Luan slept close to his sister's side, trying his best to comfort her. Reluctantly he would set out the next day to resume his duties, His sister insisting she was fine and in fact had her own duties to attend to… That would be his biggest mistake. Solune would disappear after that day, Luan and Twyla would often set out to look for signs of her at the border but soon days would become weeks. It was clear she was gone. Forced to continue life without Solune, Luan buried his time in his task, hoping that she would return once she had recovered from the event. He was furious with Zuke at first but in time Luan would grow to know why he had done what he did, as foolish as it was.

Before Autumn arrived Twyla came to him, revealing she was going to go after Solune. He first protested the idea but she assured him she would return if she couldn’t find any sign of her before winter… He was naive to let her go. She would not return by winter and soon winter turned to spring and spring to summer. The guilt ate away at him as he watched his parents grieve their missing daughters, it was too much for his mother to bear, each night she would pray for their safe return. Despite Zuke being the cause of Solunes disappearance He understood the emotions Luan was feeling and Luan would often find silent solace in his company. In the end Luan couldn’t remain knowing his sisters were out there, somewhere. It wasn’t a quick decision to leave the pack in search of them, only after he had matured and learned as much as he could from his packmates did he inform his parents. His mother embarrassed him with tears but pleaded to him to find them in her stead, he promised he would send word by wing once he found them and with that he set out. He was not alone however, Zuke had chosen to join him in his search and together they would face the unknown.

It wasn’t easy, there was no trail to follow and the two had to rely on word of mouth, which led to many dead ends. Time passed so quickly that soon a year had come and gone. They received word of a possible sighting in the autumn, whilst the excitement of these tips had since faded for some reason this one felt different.

## Group History

Upon Luan and Zuke's arrival, they were greeted by a *very* heartbroken Solune, who rushed to her brother and told him of the terrible news. Twyla was gone. She sent him on his way ahead, to meet the Mhorians who were now her family, while she spoke privately to Zuke.

Luan was happy to spend some time among the Mhorians, and catch up with his sister on her new life...and the loss of their sister. After about a season, he decided to return to his home pack to tell their parents of what had happened, and that Solune was staying in Mhor. They said a fond farewell (though Zuke felt as if Luan was distancing himself from his old travel companion) and Luan set off on his own this time.

He hasn't been seen in the Domain since.
