Nadia

Reed, Juniper, and Mason (Brothers)

Gregor (Grandfather)

Nadia was a warm, reddish-brown she-wolf with golden eyes. Born alongside brothers Reed, Mason, and Juniper to the founder of Chandor, Aethelynda, and her mate Rowan, Nadia was appointed as the alpha of her pack after her mother's death. She has led her pack for several years, through thick and thin, suffering great personal loss and tragedy, but remaining ever-strong. She was designed by MatrixPotato, and created and RP'd by Zoketi.

## Personality

*Goofy, confident, matriarchal, bossy, friendly, charming, playful, aloof, finicky, selfless.*

As a pup, Nadia knew what she wanted. As a juvenile, she began to question this. And by the time she earned her place as leader of Chandor she was no longer certain. The world was far bigger than she could ever know, and the possibilities of her future limitless. But that's okay with her! While she may be quite determined, Nadia is prone to overstepping herself. Occasionally she rushes ahead--forgetting steps or parts needed before she can finish what she's doing. Her impulsiveness can lead to some mishaps, of course. Nadia tends to be irate when someone tells her she missed something, though. She's pretty proud and hates to be at fault.

But this leads on to her kind nature. While outgoing and sometimes finicky, she's got a good heart. She naturally looks for friends, and wants to be a part of the social bonding with others. Friends - relationships of all kinds - are hugely important to her, even if she must put aside a task to offer support to one. Nadia is infinitely selfless, and this has only been driven further into her nature by her role as alpha. Her pack means everything to her, and everyone in it is just as important to her as her kin. She would willing step into harm's way to prevent such to a packmate or friend.

Especially as a pup, Nadia has always enjoyed messing around. Typical of any youth, really. She kept her goofiness as she matured, though, but it never went over any lines. She would not purposefully cause *harm* to another for laughs, but a little discomfort was often guaranteed. Amusement was brought about to lighten the day or cheer up a friend. Before she gained most of her common sense she was often causing mischief, tumbling about with her littermates and causing trouble whether she meant to or not. As she aged she learned what wasn't something she should do, while maintaining a humor that kept her in good spirits. Anyone who wants to playfight is a welcome friend.

Nadia's bossiness has severely lessened through her growth and experiences. Being the only girl in her litter gave her a tough, fierce manner from the start, and she was insistent and fought back without hesitating. Though she has mellowed greatly, she still remains independent and *strong*.

## Pre-Group History

Just as the sun rose, the last little pup entered the world. Daughter of Aethelynda and Rowan, the youngest pup was now part of a loving family. Nadia wiggled about until she found a teat to suckle on. There she was, with three brothers and her mum, safe in a little den. *Here I am*, she thought.

## Trivia

* Over time, Nadia has accumulated many scars, including three scars on her shoulder from a bear attack, a nicked ear from an angry hawk, and scars on her chin from an accident with packmate Malachi.
* The white eagle feather Nadia wears in her fur was a gift from Malachi.

## Quotes

* "I don't think you should give up on your own life so easily. Even if you don't have the greatest circumstances, you should try nonetheless, right? I think you could find great things if you tried. For one, you met me. That's pretty great. Just kidding!" (Nadia to Samwell, Flood & Friendship)
* "I've never been far beyond the territory. Only a little bit of exploration when I was an adolescent, but even then I was not far from the borders. I'd like to go further. I want to see things, other places, to learn. But I can't. Not now, anyway. I gotta be here for them. For you. For Chandor." (Nadia to Malachi, Bloom)
* “He was my best friend, I think. That’s why it’s been so much harder. I’ve seen so many wolves leave, Remus... Some just *vanish*, and I think that’s the worst. At least I got a goodbye this time.” (Nadia to Remus, The Stages of Grief)
* “I think it’s a common thing to fear. Change brings struggle sometimes. Many of us would rather live in consistent simplicity.” (Nadia to Diablo, Us and the Trees and Opportunity)
* “I believe they’d be finishing what *you* started. Hunts cannot repay your crimes. And you cannot hide among us. You will leave Chandor’s territory. By nightfall you will be treated as a threat.” (Nadia to Sean, Exposed)
* “But I’m so glad you are here now. The past is past, whether or not it tries to bite us still.” (Nadia to Arcuza, The Past Bites Back)
