## **Personality**

Overview:

Ricci has always been a strange she wolf. *Inquisitive* since birth, she has searched for the meaning in everything, shaping her into the wolf she is today. Picking up traits from those around her, Ricci learned quickly that life wasn't going to give you everything and that you had to work to get what you desired. Ricci is always *determined* to complete her goals, coming off as *fixated* to most, especially considering how she gets while on a hunt. She is the type who will do what ever it takes to get something done, whether or not its stupid and *reckless* is another thing entirely. Her *daring* spirit works well with her *adaptable* nature in most of what she does. When she isn't off doing something dangerous, Ricci is usually *clear-headed* and *efficient* in her work, good at being a leader in times of stress physically, emotional stress isn't exactly a strong point of hers. *Caring* to those she deems worthy and *fierce* in both loyalty and protectiveness in those she still loves. She is *insecure* and *stubborn* when she gets set into a negative mindset and at times can be extremely *resentful* towards the people around her. Despite her negative qualities, Ricci is a true *free-spirit, independent* and true to herself and her upbringing.

.: Birth :.

Ricci was born in the Insu Pack, a pack of only a few families with her parents being the newest, during the spring, to a young couple with one previous litter. Omen and Jadzia left their previous pack in search of a place to raise their pups peacefully and were moved in long before raiders became the norm. As the land around their pack grew harsher, the more likely it was for loners to lash out or multiple wolves to raid territories for their resources. The young couple did their best to work with these challenges and stood strong with their ever growing pack. A few springs later Jadiza had given birth to multiple litters.

.: Childhood :.

Ricci was the runt of the couple's second litter and they expected little of her, with multiple litters and multiple pups to care for, little time was given to Ricci or any of the pups from previous litters once a new one was born. Even though she had multiple siblings, she only grew close to only a few of them. Her older brothers Fass and Hagen became her guardians when other pups were to rough with her and her sister Xenia became her role model where her mother failed. They became their own little family within their actual one and provided more support than her parents ever did. While the rest of her pack didn’t believe she would survive the first few months let alone a year, her siblings had done everything they could to make it so. Her bliss soon came to an end when Hagen and Xenia decided to leave the pack. After living with the pack for almost three years, the two believed that it was time to move on to bigger and better things. With raiders and lone wolves common in the area, it came to no surprise when pack members would turn up dead near the border. The two brothers couldn't risk their sisters remaining in such a dangerous place and decided to take them as well, leaving the rest of their family behind.

.: Teens :.

The first few seasons were fine, a little hungry and beaten up, but happy none the less. Ricci and Faas would become young adults soon and would help take some of the heavy load of living without a large pack, for the time being, Xenia taught them to hunt and Hagen taught them to defend themselves. Sadly being without a pack meant little protection, something that came to haunt Ricci as her siblings died off one by one. Faas died as sickness over took him when they ventured farther south than ever before, his immune system not strong enough to handle the new sickness that the south brought. Xenia left them one night, she'd been seeing a loner for only two seasons before she left Hagen and Ricci on their own. With only her brother left, Ricci believed that they would stick together and nothing would tear them apart. Her childhood naivety died at the hands of the thing that forced them to leave in the first place, other wolves threatening the peace. With only a glimpse of the murderous wolves, Hagen hide his younger sibling as quickly as possible. Ricci stayed hidden in a burrow for only a few minutes before the sound of a fight broke out, scared out of her mind, Ricci stayed within the burrow until it was silent. After an hour of waiting, she left the burrow gingerly, the scene scared her as she saw her brother, dead, just a few feet in front of her. In the weeks that followed, Ricci spent her time as a ghost. Wandering too close to pack borders, resulting in a few fights here and there, not eating, drinking, or sleeping enough, and all together not really there mentally. With little keeping the bloody and starving teen alive, it seemed that the gods pitied her enough to send help in the form of an elderly she wolf. Naomie was kind soul, one well versed in the tales of gods and stars, caring for others, and treating wounds after living with her mate and sons for many springs. Ricci didn't ask her where they were or why the she wolf would help her in the first place, all she asked for was information on her brothers and whether or not he would find the peace that they all sought after leaving their birth pack.

.: Now :.

After healing, Ricci parted ways with the she wolf, having been told of a pack to the east that might be willing to take her in. With only the stars to guide her, she made her way to Damasca. *A new home*, she thought to herself, *a place where the stars are praised and my brothers could've had their own peace*. With that in mind, she wanders for days following the North Star.
