Moriko

## Application Sheet

Moriko was a golden-furred she-wolf with pale green eyes. She was a descendant of the ancient pack of Tentaka, and joined Akuto when she revived the pack. She vanished several months before the eruption of Ascension Peak, and it is unknown what became of her, but Moriko has not been seen since. She was created and RP'd by Uniskorne.

## Personality

* ***Playful***. Itache are very much like the animals whose name they bear, and Mori is no different. Although serious about her task, she loves frolicking and playing just as much, and her primary form of socialization is play of some sort.
* ***Loyal***. The wolves of Tentaka are her family and friends. They would lay down their lives for her, and Mori could not see doing the opposite. Though she’s playful, her word is no joke to those she gives it to.
* ***Spiritual***. Everything has a spirit, and everything—and everyone—is connected. Respect the Spirits, and you have no cause to worry; disrespect them, and disaster and despair will be your constant companion.
* ***Artistic***. The pursuit of all wolves should be the imitation of Nature. No, one can’t completely recreate the perfection of the natural world, but one could attempt to get close. Mori has a small garden among the rocks outside of her cave where she nurtures and tends to bonsai.
* ***Fiery***. Like most beings who are smaller than others, Mori makes up for it with spirit, whether that be a loud, joking one or a sharp, angry one depends upon the situation. She’s unafraid to stand up to a larger wolf and speak her mind.
* ***Indulgent***. Certain plants and trees produce fruits and berries that are delicious when they ferment. Some have discovered that eating these brings on a warm languid mood. Mori has made imbibing these fermented fruits a (frequent) hobby, a way to unwind after an honorable day of work...even if it makes her make a fool of herself at night and makes her feel rotten in the morning.

## Pre-Group History

Moriko’s grandparents had told her stories of the ill-fated ancestral pack from the moment she was given to them. Their daughter hadn’t wanted to have pups, and it almost looked like she’d gotten her wish as one after another came without life. But, then, Mori had whimpered. The young female was not a bad wolf, just an irresponsible one, and couldn’t bring herself to end the small life, but, at the same time, she didn’t want to be tied down to it. She brought the pup to her parents, meaning to abandon Mori then, but her grandmother refused to let her daughter leave while the pup suckled, stating the fact that there were no other females who could still produce milk. Their daughter begrudgingly agreed to stay until the pup was weaned. Mori’s first clear memory of her mother is of her leaving; from that point on, her grandparents were the complete object of her love. They loved her unconditionally, patiently pruning a bad habit here and encouraging a good one there, always finishing the day with tales of the ‘old pack’.

When she was old enough to travel, Mori’s grandparents passed, giving her the opportunity to seek out the subject of their tales. The tan female gives complete credit to the Spirits for leading her to Tentaka.

## Group History

Moriko delighted in the revival of Tentaka, and enjoyed reminiscing of her grandparents and speaking in the ancient Tentakan tongue, which they had taught her. She was a mischievous creature, too, and enjoyed to play with Akuto, chasing one another and laughing like children.

Moriko remained quietly in the background of Tentaka, before eventually vanishing from the pack, long before the pack was destroyed. It is unknown what became of Moriko, but she has not been seen in the Domain since.

## Trivia

* Moriko tends to often overindulge in fermented fruits!

## Quotes

* "I miss your warmth and laughter, although, I realize, that it is within me. You would love this place and those within. It is everything you said it was and more!" (praying to her grandparents, *As the Leaves Turn*)
