## Personality

* ***Born-Leader, and Fair.*** Genesis is a born leader, she is fair and does not judge others by their appearances. She'll readily stand up for her Gods if they are being disrespected or even the lowest pack member. Though she'll keep to the caste system, she still believes every member of the pack should be respected.
* ***Religious and Dutiful.*** Extremely religious and believes in only her Gods and that there is no other way but her pack's way. Dutiful to her Gods, she makes sure she does everything to please her Gods and if they become angry she'll not blame her pack members of any injustice; unless there is proof of a pack member angering one of the Gods.
* ***Curious and Adaptable.*** Being as opened-minded as Genesis, she is quite curious and adaptable. Very adaptable to just about any situation, she even uses tools to help herself in any sort of confrontation. She believes a wolf shouldn't bind itself to only knowing the usual way, sometimes you must think outside the box to accomplish what needs to be done.
* ***Watchful and Empathetic.*** Mostly a quiet and watchful wolf. She learned at an early age how to catch even the slightest inclination of a lie or the feelings of another. To be a great Alpha and to please the Gods, one must be able to catch others thoughts, whether a wolf has good or bad intentions.
* ***Mercurial and Stoic, but Caring.*** In the beginning, Genesis can be rather stoic and seem to have no emotions. Looking very gruff looking, she keeps others at bay. She is afraid that having emotional connections to other wolves might hinder her ability as the vessel for the Gods. She does not want to be corrupted. However, if a wolf can get past the walls she so meticulously built around herself, they can see the other side of her. She does have emotions and deeply cares about her pack and it's protection by the Gods. Because of her stoic nature, she is extremely level-headed in desperate situations.

## Pre-Group History

Genesis was not born in Havir, but a small fraction that also believed in Gods; they might have separated from the pack some time ago before the new Alpha began his rein. The small fraction kept to north eastern coast, lead by her father Sorrel and her mother Cinder. The pack was a male dominated pack, that believed males were the superior gender and only they could hear the Gods and do their bidding. Genesis was born in the small patch of mountains just to east. Her mother spent a lot of time away from the pack after she gave birth to Genesis. The night of her birth the Dancing Lights had hung over the mountain and out of the darkness came a young female white wolf. The wolf's name was Hera, she said she had followed the lights to the mountain. She told Cinder that her daughter was blessed and could become a Priest to the Havir pack--the pack they've splintered off from. Cinder said it was up to what her daughter wanted. The female left and once again the was left alone. The only other wolf that was around with her mother was her aunt Skye.

A large greyish blue wolf stayed with them for a short time. She'll never forget him because he looked just like her. He taught her about the other Gods that he believe in. He later disappeared when Autumn came and her mother was expecting again, after a visit from Sorrel.

By the end of Autumn, Genesis was a big sister to a red pup named Nahimana. Winter was quickly closing in and they had to leave the mountains. In a surprise blizzard, they lost her little sister. By the time they reached the pack Sorrel was not a happy alpha to see her. Genesis saw her “father” for the first time. She looked nothing like him and he seemed to realize it too. Since that first time they met Sorrel has wanted nothing to do with her. A few weeks later Sorrel took her away and left her out of the pack borders. He banished her and forbade her from ever returning to their pack.

Still too young to know how to hunt she was wandering starving and alone. She was waiting for Adetunji, the Shepard of Death to take her away. Collapsing in the forest that night, oblivious that it was Havir's forest she began to fall into that sleep where she thought she'd never awake. In the shadows she saw a wolf-ish figure approach her. She passed out before she could see the wolf that approached her. The next day she woke up with Hera beside her. Hera had saved her from the brink of death; right out from Adetunji's paws. From that day on she stayed by Hera's side and learned everything about Havir's Gods and the rituals.

## Group History

Genesis didn't feel right at home in Havir right away. She was uncomfortable, uncertain if she could find her place, even though these wolves worshipped the same gods as her. But one day, she found herself entranced by a golden eagle - could it be one of the Havirian gods in the form of the great bird? She followed it, and found herself bathed in golden light, and the eagle dropped a feather as it flew off. Suddenly, Genesis realized she was meant to be in Havir, and took to wearing the feather as a reminder of her ties to the gods.

Genesis believed that the gods she was raised with, and the gods of Havir, were the same, just with different names and slightly different stories. She assured Saurugol, in one of their many meetings, that these other gods were no threat to Havir's gods, or the living Havirians, either.

Genesis taught young Zevahni the art of making a prayer stick, thoroughly enjoying the company of the young pup. The company would be terribly short-lived, unfortunately, for Zevahni died so young.

When some of the pack's females were kidnapped, Genesis joined Cyrus and Shandris on an (unsuccessful) search party.

Eventually, Nahimana would stumble upon Havir lands, and fortunately, encountered Genesis. Genesis was delighted to find her sister, though Nahi was wary, not quite remembering Genesis, as they had separated when they were young. However, she quickly earned her sister's trust, and before long, Nahimana introduced Genesis to one of her traveling companions - Le Serviteur.

Nahimana left for a time, and then returned, asking Saurugol to meet with her sister. Saurugol had to break the terrible news that Genesis had fallen through thin ice, and had not been seen since, admitting that it was likely she did not survive. Genesis has not been seen since she fell through the ice, and it is believed she is dead.

## Trivia

* Genesis wears the feather of a golden eagle, which she believed was the earthly form of one of the Havirian gods.
* Her paws are quite large, built like a snowshoe hare so she can walk across deep snow.
* She has a scar on the left side of her face from a brutal attack by her father--it slightly tears the bottom of her ear.

## Quotes

* "Don’t worry, Alpha. I shall always be loyal to you and the Great Ones." (to Saurugol, *Do You Wanna Be A Priest?*)
* "Thanks is necessary, young male. You don't know how long I have searched for my sister before I came here. I thought for the longest time she was dead, having died in the blizzard that separated us many Winters ago. And, I'm sure you understand how important starting a pack is to my sister. You've stayed by her side for an entire cycle. Even when others left her. Thanks is necessary, whether you want it or not." (to Le Serviteur, *Family Bond*)
