Ramona

Delsin (Brother)

Roman (Paternal Grandfather)

## Application Sheet

Ramona, often called Romy, was an albino she-wolf, born in raised in Blutwald alongside brother Delsin, to parents Crash and Paxton. As a daughter of Paxton, she was a granddaughter to the tyrant Roman. She served her pack loyally through the Blutwald-Aryn War, and followed her mother to Chandor. The pair lived there a short time before Ramona decided to leave the Domain. She was created and RP'd by MatrixPotato.

## Personality

* ***Confident and Self-Assured.*** Romy has absolutely no qualms about herself; she believes that her abilities are top notch and she can do whatever she sets her mind to. For this reason, it also takes quite a lot to make her angry. You can say whatever you want about her, but she'll just shrug it off. She knows she's awesome and if you make fun of her, well then it must be because you're jealous!
* ***Rebellious and Obstinate**.* Romy doesn't like being disciplined and she certainly doesn't like taking orders or being told what she can and can't do. She tolerates it from her parents, but if anyone else tries to govern her actions, she'll purposely do the exact opposite just to spite them!
* ***Brave and Protective.*** Try and hurt someone that Romy cares about and she'll step in no matter what. She'd give up her own life just to save her family and those that she holds dear to her heart. She feels strongly that it's her duty to keep the ones she loves safe, even if she's just a young pup.
* ***Curious and Inquisitive.*** Romy is quite meddlesome. She likes to get into what she shouldn't but she also enjoys learning things; specifically, the things that she shouldn't know. What the grown-ups whisper about is what Romy is the most eager to learn about.
* ***Blunt and Straightforward.*** Romy tells it like it is. She hardly sugar coats anything, and if she does, it's mostly for her brother Delsin. She doesn't care if what she says might get her slapped in the face; if you can't handle the cold truth, then you might as well stay ignorant forever.
* ***Charming and Charismatic.*** Although she has a hard time holding her tongue, Romy is actually quite charming. She knows what to say to get what she wants and she's easy to talk to. She almost doesn't seem like the young wolf she actually is and sometimes sounds like an adult; she can be quite mature when she wants to be!
* ***Outgoing/Extroverted.*** Unlike her brother, Romy is quite the extrovert. She enjoys the company of others and sometimes even seeks it out, getting a thrill from all of the conversations.
* ***Resentful, Bitter, and Cautious.*** Due to the events that happened during the war, Ramona has become a bitter individual. She blames Athena and her Aryn pawns for what happened to her mother and father and swears to avenge them. She's transformed from an outgoing young pup to a cautious she-wolf; she will fight first and ask questions later, especially with strangers. She does not trust anyone but her family and is extremely hard to befriend, if it's even possible anymore.

## Pre-Group History

Born the only female to parents Paxton and Crash of Blutwald, Romy has proven to be quite the unique puppy. Her mother initially thought she had something wrong with her due to her unnaturally white coat and red eyes, but her sister Gypsee reassured her that the pup was fine. She was just an albino. However, unlike most albinos, Romy was strong. She did not need extra care, she was fine to nurse on her own and even opened her eyes rather quickly. Her brother Delsin, though not much smaller, was always behind Romy. When they were old enough to begin speaking, Romy could speak fluently but Delsin still had quite a bit of trouble. Because of this, many wolves made fun of him. Romy, being the protective sister she is, vowed to speak for him, so as long as he told her what to say so he wouldn't have to be laughed at.

## Group History

Even from a young age, Ramona had been conditioned for death. The first death she witnessed was that of a female named Thea, who saved her and her brother from a bear. After that day, she really was never the same- and neither was Delsin. They were more cautious, skeptical, though Ramona still held onto her brazen attitude that Delsin seemed to lack. Although Paxton and Crash loved each other deeply, Paxton was not present for his children's birth, and would only reappear when they were older. Ramona had great resentment for him because of his absence, though she would later come to regret this. However, when Paxton returned, Crash had been sent on a mission to a different pack, Aryn, whom Blutwald had many quarrels with. Unbeknownst to Ramona, her brother, or Paxton, Crash had been captured. A full year went by, and in that time tensions rose between the packs- and between Ramona and her father. She still treated him like an outsider and although Delsin had gotten to know him, Ramona refused to. With her mother gone and her estranged father around, she felt like the control she had on her life was spiraling out of her grasp.

Finally the two packs met to try and form a treaty of peace. Both alphas hid their most capable wolves in the shadows in case anything may arise; among them was Ramona, now a freshly matured adult. The resentment from her father and longing to see her mother were fresh on her mind, and Ramona was itching to kick some Aryn butt. However, what neither of the packs expected was an ambush from a third party, with his own agenda. Rhaegan, grandson of the infamous Roman, burst forth from the trees, spitting lies and slander. Only Athena, alphess of Aryn, was aware of his intentions, and before she could stop her underlings from attacking, Blutwald wolves were charging. Without any other choice, she sent her pack forward to fight. Bodies collided and it became a fury of teeth and claws, thus beginning the battle. Lives were lost on both sides, but only one mattered to Ramona: Crash. They were attacked by another, Varrick, who severely maimed Crash's leg and gave Ramona the gashes on her face- but luckily, his rage simmered out quickly and they were able to get away safely. In the fray, both Crash and Ramona made the hasty decision to travel to another pack, a safer pack, where they could escape the lust of war forever.

The alpha of Chandor, Aethelynda, know to Crash simply as Lyn, welcomed them with open arms. They were treated like family, though Ramona knew next to no one there. During their time of healing, Ramona wondered what had become of her brother and her father during the war. Had they escaped the war unchanged? Had they even survived the onslaught she was sure came from the war? She turned away others' attempts to befriend her, like those made by Reed. She was seeped in her thoughts and emotions on the turmoil that had wrought her life.

Ramona was unaware of Rhaegan's betrayal or that he had even been the one to start the war at all. These thoughts and feelings for Aryn, the war, her home, Blutwald, that now lay in shambles, accumulated until eventually she could no longer stand idly by in the safety of Chandor. Without a word to her mother or anyone else, Ramona snuck her way into Aryn's borders and ambushed Athena. However, Athena was a skilled fighter and had more experience, quickly gaining the upperhand and overpowering the young female, blinded by rage and misplaced vengeance. Athena explained to Ramona what had really happened, and although Ramona didn't want to believe it, it was the only logical explanation for the sudden battle. Conflict and uncertainty swirled in Ramona and when Athena let her go, she ran- but not back to Chandor. Ramona ran away, far away. Not to get more revenge on Rhaegan, but to get away from it all. Away from all of the anger, the pain, the wars, the deception, and the overwhelming fear that she had buried so deep, fear of becoming like her grandfather, Roman. Only did she stop to catch her breath when she couldn't smell anything familiar anymore.

And finally, for the first time since she was a pup, Ramona wept. Big, heaving sobs of tears that stung her still-freshly healing wounds. There was no one reason as to why she cried so hard. Perhaps it was the accumulation of everything she'd gone through that brought it on, or for the simple fact that she'd spent so long so angry at everyone for no reason. For the longest time, she felt she had to be strong for everyone, for her brother, her mother, for the whole of Blutwald! But Blutwald was gone and there was nothing left for her. Sure, her mother, and wherever her brother and father may have gone. But she couldn't stand to even think about the shame she'd feel if she went back to Crash, told her what she'd tried to do. Chandor was not her home, but she knew Crash would be safe there. So she decided to continue on alone, to detach herself from the past and start a new life for herself.
