Sparrow

## Application Sheet

Sparrow was a black-furred she-wolf with extremely pale blue eyes. She was born outside of the Domain, to a father, Tenshi, who left her family and joined Fellfang. Sparrow spent her time within the Domain as a loner, occasionally joining forces with other loners such as Elia and Riley, or pack wolves. Sparrow was created and RP'd by C3lestialWolf.

## Personality

* ***Bright*.** She knows when she can handle a situation, or when it would be smarter to leave some wolves well enough alone. Even a slight movement in the corner of her vision is enough to raise suspicions of someone being behind her. She also is very articulate, and takes great care in knowing how to use her words in a kind way to either diffuse a situation or befriend a wolf.
* ***Strong Willed.*** Sparrow won’t get into a fight often, but when she does she won’t stop fighting for her life until it’s over and all is said and done. Once she sets her mind to something, it will get done one way or another. She generally is able to hold her own for great periods of time due to her size and stamina built up from roaming.
* ***Benevolent*.** Despite her usual aloofness to usual society, she isn’t against talking to other wolves. Engaging in pleasant conversation is often a highlight for her day, and she enjoys creating allies among wolves. The more she knows, the better she can prepare herself to help. Packs social structures are fascinating in Sparrow’s eyes. She doesn’t see herself joining a pack any time soon, but does enjoy helping them if they so decide that they require it.
* ***Self-Reliant.*** Sparrow really does know how to take care of herself. She doesn’t mind others depending on her, but she often won’t rely on others to take care of her. Unless she is very sickly, she will insist on taking care of herself, as she dislikes placing burdens upon others.
* ***Curious*.** She often likes to keep small wonders of the world in her head, and she almost has a pup like curiosity. It has worn a little since she has grown, but she still enjoys finding small beauties in odd places.
* ***Naïve (Social Situations).*** It's not completely unlike her to go up to a random wolf to say hello, without knowing their demeanor. Also, when it comes to love situations or flirting situations, unless you flat out tell her that you love her, she's probably just going to mistake you for a REALLY nice wolf. Sometimes she'll get the cue, and question how you're thinking of her. This is because of her being a loner for quite a while, and not associating with a lot of wolves that would think of her in such a manner.
* ***Timid*.** Disliking conflict, Sparrow is often shy-er around more tense situations. Her personality overall is more of a pacified one as she matures, her assertiveness quickly wearing off as she sees very few wolves.

## Pre-Group History

Sparrow was born out of the Domain, much farther north. Her mother and father had always taken great care in nurturing her, and making sure that she would grow into something strong, into something that was worthwhile. Being loners, it was never easy, as they didn’t have support from other wolves. However, she was their pride and joy of her parents’ lives, at least she hoped so, and they put countless amounts of time into helping her grow. Her childhood couldn’t have been better, and it was something she still looks back on today.

But all happiness came to an end quite quickly as she matured. Being sensitive, Sparrow became increasingly aware of growing tensions between her parents. Her father seemed to disappear for greater lengths of time, though still being present, and her mother and father seemed to not be as close as they once had. His eyes seemed duller and more bored than usual, as if he had been missing something; as if he was longing something that he once lived for. Had Sparrow done something wrong? It stayed this way for quite a while, and any time she would quietly question the happenings a response would never be returned from either of her parents.

Once she had grown to be a young adult, her father left without a trace. Sparrow quickly decided that she would be better on her own than continue to put unnecessary loads on her mother, and entered a land filled with packs and new territories unknown to her. As a loner, her only common company became that among the birds, finding their soft song comforting along the quiet-filled domain. Occasionally she'd interact with some wolves as she pleased, sometimes watching them to teach herself new skills that she had been too young to learn before she had left the comfort of her parents, other times simply striking conversation. To this day, this has been her lifestyle, though she still wonders where her father went after he left.

## Group History

Sparrow was fascinated by all the small wonders in the Domain as she made her way through the unclaimed lands. She crossed paths with a she-wolf named Nahimana, and the red-furred she-wolf taught Sparrow how to fish through the ice, and a little about her religion and means of honoring the dead prey. Sparrow was fascinated, and they parted ways on good terms. Sparrow would later share these skills with another loner, Kaiser!

Sparrow was good-natured. She, Juniper, and Votre chased a fox named Annastasia, though the reason for doing so is unknown. They seemed to have a good time doing it, though! She also had a nice meeting with Django, and a less-pleasant meeting with Shenandoah. However, her good nature made it so that Sparrow was still willing to extend a kindness to the young she-wolf, and give her a hunting lesson, which was begrudgingly accepted.

Even though Sparrow enjoyed being a loner, sometimes she got lonely. When she met another loner, a young she-wolf named Elia, the pair decided to become traveling partners.

She met several other wolves, having neutral or positive interactions with them: Akuto; Malachi of Chandor; Elia's brother, Reed; and Riley of Aryn. Riley and Reed temporarily joined the traveling she-wolves. Sparrow would sometimes stray from the group to hunt or just spend some time alone, and this led to further encounters with other wolves. Once, she fell into a pit, and was rescued by Cody! Eventually, the little band of loners separated, with Elia and Riley leaving together, and Reed going back to Chandor. Sparrow was alone again.

Sparrow met up with Shenandoah again, after she had left Vale and was living as a loner. She was fiercely protective of the prey she'd caught, but when she recognized Sparrow, she offered to share, and Sparrow was happy to accept. They caught up, with Shen explaining the situation that had led to her living as a loner, and Sparrow offered her empathy. Shenandoah warned her not to go near Vale.

Still, Sparrow's path did eventually take her near Vale, and she was alarmed to see a large male wolf approaching her. When he asked about her presence, and her fear, Sparrow explained that she'd been told Vale were cruel, and the Valerian - a Beta named Loki - explained what had *really* happened, and the false beliefs Shenandoah still had. He also told Sparrow that, if she ever needed an audience with the wolves of Vale, she only needed to mention his name, and he would come.

Sparrow spent the next year practically alone. She felt the sting of this loneliness more than she used to, and thought perhaps she should consider joining a pack. The idea didn't quite appeal to her, though, and she continued her travels alone. After this long year alone, Sparrow decided to leave the Domain, and she hasn't been seen since.

## Quotes

* "It seems like wolves shouldn't do that to each other, especially to wolves like you. Innocents... they... they don't deserve the cruelty from events that they can't help, that they can't change, if that makes sense..." (to Shenandoah, learning about the Dark Ages and her exile from Vale, *A Meal with a Friend*)
