Ranna (Half-Sister)

## Application Sheet

Claire was a brown-furred she-wolf, a loner, born to Alar and Lilith, and raised by her older half-sister, Ranna, and Hidde, her mother's killer. She had three siblings she never knew about - Aivar, Miriam, and Daphne, who were raised in Aryn. She is no longer in the Domain. She was created and RP'd by Welihn.

## Personality

* ***Hateful and Negative.*** The main force that drives Claire through life is perhaps her hate towards it. Due to the events that took place throughout her young life, Claire's vision of the world was blurred to the point in which she was not able to see any form of goodness in it. Every other emotion she has felt seemed to aggravate the situations in which she went through, but hate gave her a burning strength which moved her through the darkness. It is clear by the way she behaves and speaks about subjects or situations that she is often only able to curse it, she has a special disdain towards wolves who "pretend to be" happy and / or in love, and is quick to make her displeasure known. There is no such thing as a "bright side" in her world. The only way she knows to deal with life's challenges is by destroying them - physically or in thought.
* ***Quiet, Distant and Judgmental*.** With often differing opinions from the majority of wolves, Claire tends to prefer not interact with anyone who she assumes to have opposing views of the world and the way it works - which is almost anybody she lays eyes on. Claire is naturally anti-social and her lack of social abilities only becomes more and more obvious as she ages. In social scenarios she will remain mostly silent, especially around strangers, but that often applies to well-known individuals aswell, but when she speaks her tone is often one of un-amusement with a sarcastic edge.
* ***Resentful***. Poisoned with resentment and intense, painful bitterness towards any and all who may have wronged her in the past, Claire is a wolf who does not forgive nor forget. Perhaps this trait was developed to preserve her sanity in tough scenarios where she clings to what is most familiar with; hate. Gathering the little or the big wrongs one individual has done to her proves to be helpful when she feels the need to distance herself from an individual she shares a bond with, using the built up resentment to convert love into hate, making separation easier to handle.
* ***Stoic, Apathetic and Bold.*** Often indifferent to the events that take place around her or the emotions and concerns of others, Claire is an apathetic wolf who is capable of remaining calm in a variety of scenarios, seeing everything with cold rationality and not allowing other emotions to interfere in her decision-making. Claire is bold and realistic, holding truth and facts above an individual's sensitivities.
* ***Intelligent*.** Claire was born with the same intellectual prowess as her parents before her, she is like a sponge; absorbing information and knowledge wherever she goes. She likes to be the one generating and uncovering new information, not spreading information that's already been studied by others - although she does do this, it is simply not what she takes pride in. Claire is known for living more inside her mind than out, exploring a great variety of intriguing ideas. - The downside is that her mind ruminates negative thoughts, which is exhausting for her.
* ***Adventurous*.** Above all else, Claire has an unquenchable thirst for adventure and adrenaline, and enjoys putting herself in potentially dangerous situations for the sake of it. That's her way of escaping her own acidic thoughts.
* ***Unsatisfiable***. This trait walks alongside her negative and pessimistic nature. Claire is never fully satisfied with her current circumstance or accomplishments, always seeing a negative downside to everything - even if that may be invisible to others. She often has no hope of finding a better situation though, so she forces herself to adapt and tolerate situations or individuals to some extent.
* ***Independent / Dependent.*** When a wolf looks at Claire, it may be hard to see a wolf who - despite all her bitterness, hostility, self sufficient and collected nature - is in fact, a wolf who is dependent on the affection of those who she is close to. Although this rarely comes to the surface, when Claire is low, she will seek those few individuals who she loves to harvest new strength - she does this mostly unconsciously, and will deny it at all costs if confronted about it. The way in which Claire views herself is purely as an independent individual, and as far as survival goes, she is. She can execute most tasks with efficiency and enjoys her solitude, dealing with problems on her own.

## Pre-Group History

Claire is the daughter of the exiled King and Queen Regents of Vale: Alar and Lilith. Claire was born prematurely to her dying mother, and was saved by Hidde; the wolf who stole the life of her mother. The male, feeling some guilt over his actions, decided to offer the largest and healthiest of the four pups a chance at life - by bringing her to her half-sister Ranna, who nursed and cared for Claire as she grew up.

## Group History

Claire would be raised to adulthood by Hidde and Ranna, nursed alongside Ranna's daughter Mosrael, under the disapproving gaze of the pup's father Oruz. Little would be known about her childhood except for that that she would thirst for adventure and be generally disinterested in her guardian's warnings about dangerous predators and whatnot.

One day, she ran into the heart of Vale territory, disregarding all of Ranna's warnings. Ranna managed to catch up to Claire before she was discovered by any of the Valerians (who would have definitely killed her for being the daughter of Alar and Lilith). A patrol was approaching, though: Quinn and Hera. Ranna, thinking quickly, knocked Claire to unconsciousness and stuffed her away, going to meet the Valerians herself to distract them.

Ranna eventually talked her way out of Vale, but nobody knows what happened when she returned to Claire. Neither have been seen in the Domain since.

## Trivia

* Even though Claire can experience love, she is blinded to it, and is even incapable of saying the word without sarcasm, irony or hostility in her tone, otherwise the word gets stuck in her throat, and never comes out.
* As a pup, she was more inclined to enjoy the company of adults instead of younger wolves like herself.
* She was chosen to be saved by Hidde because she was the largest of the pups Lilith gave birth to, and thus most likely to survive.
