## Application Sheet

Cybele was a gray-and-brown she-wolf with a white belly and legs, and beautiful blue eyes. She was born in the midst of a war with Vektren, in the pack of Aryn, to parents Ragnarok and Riga. She had three siblings: Minerva, Jaeger, and Leviathan. Unfortunately, Riga died while giving birth, so she never got to know her mother. Instead, she was raised by her single father, her godparents, and her grandparents. Cybele served Aryn as a Vicar until she vanished in the midst of the Hive Wars. She was created and RP'd by toboe5tails.

## Personality

* ***Curious, Chatty, and Social.*** Despite the strange and tragic circumstances of her birth and early childhood, Cybele is no less of a bouncy baby than any other pup in the nursery. She's curious almost to a fault, sniffing around every nook and cranny she can wiggle herself into and asking an endless stream of questions to any adult in earshot. In a general sense Cybele is quite chatty, always looking for something to talk about to someone. If she has nobody to talk to, she might strike up a conversation with herself, or nobody, or perhaps she's talking to The One? There's little filter between her head and her mouth, and Cybele will often blurt out whatever is on her mind, unintentionally being rude or insensitive now and again. The only time she's not talking is when she's listening to another wolf, often enthralled by explanations, lessons, and stories. She loves to listen to a good tale, and she aspires to have stories to tell herself one day. If left alone for a while however, Cybele begins to feel lost. She has a burning need to be with others, and she dislikes being left to her own devices. If you try to leave her alone, she might cling onto you and whine to try and get you to stay.
* ***Stubborn, High-Strung, and Emotional.*** Cybele is a sweet little wolf at her core, wanting to do good and make others happy as much as possible. However, when she thinks something isn't right, she isn't afraid to say it and will stand stubbornly by her stances. She can be a bit high strung, and wears all her emotions on her sleeve. If she's angry with you, prepare to be scolded. If she's sad, you'll see and hear her tears. If she's excited, she will be bouncing off the walls. She's especially close to and fond of her family, having a special bond with her siblings and a deep love for her father and the memory of her mother, though she still loves her surrogate mom. She's very loyal to her family and to Aryn, and despite the perilous position they stand in at the time of her birth, she loves her home.

## Pre-Group History

In the midst of a great upheaval for Aryn, Cybele and her littermates were born to Riga and Ragnarok. Tragically, though their union was happy, the birth of their pups went horribly wrong, and Riga died shortly after. Nursed from then on by Amara, the little family continued on, broken, but surviving.

## Group History

Cybele's maternal grandparents, Eden and Kane, doted on her and her siblings. Eden, in particular, saw so much of her mother, Riga, in Cybele's personality. Cybele had a major soft spot, however, for her papa, Ragnarok. The two of them sometimes took trips together, little enjoyable outings that strengthened their father-daughter bond.

But as time passed, and Cybele grew up, strange things happened around her. The war with Vektren (which she had been born in the midst of) continued, with the two alphas being horrifically assassinated, and her packmates returning from battles with serious injuries. Perhaps growing up surrounded by injuries like this spurred Cybele to become a Vicar? In any case, that was what she set her paws on doing.

The war changed, though. Instead of an external enemy, the pack was threatened by an internal enemy - its paranoid new Lord, Raphael. His Inquisition caused immense fear for Cybele, who tried to keep her head down and perform her duties as a Vicar.

Things came to a head. Raphael set the forest ablaze, and Cybele woke her grandmother Eden from a deep sleep to warn her of the fire, before the pair separated. Cybele safely escaped the fire, but Eden and her aunt, Ursuline, were less lucky. Stunned and numb, Cybele found herself being asked to treat Eden's breathing problems and a massive burned puncture wound on Urs's flank. It was at this time that Urs tried to promote a relationship with her niece (Urs had wanted nothing to do with Cybele and her siblings since Riga's death).

In the burned-up forest, and the grief-stricken pack demanding her healing skills, Cybele struggled with anxiety. She never felt quite right after the fire, always feeling a bit on edge, like something was watching her...

One day, while in the forest, she thought she saw the ghost of Raphael, and freaked out, running, screaming, for Amara. Poor Cybele!

As time passed, though, Cybele was able to pull herself together. It was several months later when a previously unknown pack, Xassa, sent a diplomatic party to Aryn, and Cybele met Anshar, Wick, Khamira, Aisha, and Mekhit. Cybele was terrified, knowing she couldn't fight if the five wolves chose to attack her and her companion, Catalaya, while they waited for Lady Cassandra to come speak to the diplomats. She felt more relieved when older, more experienced packmates (Cassandra, Amara, and Lawson) came to her side. The Arynians turned the Xassans away, but no attack happened, to Cybele's *immense* relief.

New enemies were on the horizon, though...white wolves with a taste for blood. The Hive entered the Domain. For a while, Cybele wasn't impacted by their presence. Instead, she became something of a tutor for younger Vicars, like Cricket.

One day, Amara, Cybele, and fellow Vicar Lidya traveled to the Wispwood, to collect herbs. While there, Makenna (a spy from Vektren) quite literally fell out of the trees! They were alarmed, but uninjured, and reported the incident to Cassandra.

Eventually, though, the threat of the Hive would hit Cybele hard - her father, Ragnarok, died saving Lidya from an attack by the Hive wolves. Cybele vanished from the pack shortly after her father's death, and was never seen again. Did she leave because her father died? Or was she taken by the Hive? Nobody knew for sure, but her packmates grieved the fact she was gone.
