Pyrite

Alari (Half-Sister)

## Application Sheet

Pyrite was a dark red-furred she-wolf with rich amber eyes, who spent her time in the Domain as a loner. She elected to leave the Domain with Wendigo to search for his sister (and her friend) Valencia. She was created and RP'd by Hyperesis.

## Personality

* ***Unpredictable.*** Pyrite is certainly not a wolf to be trusted. Her motives and response to just about everything is highly unpredictable. She entered the territories of the packs not very long ago, and her goal since then has been to do, "favors" for those who need them, as long as they can supply a sort of payment in return.
* ***Solitary, but Flirtatious.*** Though she has heard of Vektren, she prefers to stand alone. She's almost certain they see her as a threat, anyways. Flirtatious by nature, it's easy to fall for her tricks, as she essentially has no respect for personal boundaries.
* ***Bold and Determined.*** In addition to that, she isn't afraid to be incredibly bold. It's incredibly hard to gain her trust, if you make it that far in an interaction with her. She knows exactly what she wants out of this world and goes for it, no matter the cost. Pyrite tends not to make too close of emotional bonds with really any wolf for this reason, that, and, another reason.
* ***Short-Tempered.*** She has a pretty nasty temper, and it runs on a very short circuit. Wolves who get on her bad side will not come out of it unscathed, if at all.
* ***Closed-Off, but Well-Meaning.*** Despite this, Pyrite has some good intentions and means well to wolves who do not pose her a threat, and are not a target. There's a side to her that she rarely shows; her soft side. This wolf is not one for close friendships or love, as she is much to afraid of being left or hurt, keeping herself emotionally unattached from essentially everyone. Her past has caused her to be this way, and has cause her to build a wall around herself. She keeps herself very much a closed book, even to closer 'acquaintances'. She always keeps herself on the move, never stayed too close to a territory for very long.

## Pre-Group History

This strong female did not have it easy the first few years of her life. Much of it she remembers in short sequences, as much of it is a blur to her. Pyrite was born into an incredibly large and organized pack. Offspring were born from the alpha and his choice of mate. The female must be in good shape, contributed to the pack, and hold good potential as a mother. Nonetheless, Feldspar, the alpha, wasn't entirely picky. Most females in the pack had litters whenever they were in heat, thanks to him. Because of this, lineage was hard to keep track of, and inbreeding happened quite often, given the fact that the alpha was the only male in the pack allowed to mate, aside from a few of his privileged guard. Pyrite's mother, Jasper, had her first litter at an incredibly young age. Her father, Feldspar, was a firm believer that Pyrite would not survive a week after birth. However, this feisty female proved him wrong. Months went by, and her father gradually became more impressed with his daughter, believing she held much potential to give the pack a promising future. The was a top hunter and fighter in her class. From that, she only kept improving.

However, one day, her life was flipped upside-down. A male wolf came into the territory, he had been exiled before, as he had committed murder numerous times. He challenged Feldspar for the position of alpha. She watched in horror as her father fought to the death with this male, only to come out of the battle a loser. Her father dead, this male, known as Hav, assumed to position as alpha. Aside from the change of rulership, rules in the packs stayed the same. However, everything changed for Pyrite. Hav did not see the fighter and hunter she truly was, and only saw her as an excellent way to bear pups. Throughout the next year, Hav and two of his chosen guard tried to give Pyrite litters, but no attempt succeeded, Pyrite was infertile. Outraged with his, and believing she had no other place in the pack aside from bearing offspring, Hav ordered Pyrite's execution.

Executions were almost an event within the pack. The entire membership of the pack gathered to watch the female wolf hit the dirt, just as her father had done a year before. Hav unleashed the same two guards on Pyrite. In seconds, Pyrite was locked in battle with these two males. Hav watched eagerly and happily, admiring his decision to kill the female. But his plan quickly went south as once of his guard hit the ground in a heap of blood, and did not rise again. Soon after, his second guard fell as well. Pyrite stood infant of Hav, out of breath and covered in blood that was not hers. This only fueled Hav's anger. Before he could even reacted, Pyrite turned on her heels and fled the territory, Hav and the rest of his guard hot on her tail. They tracked her for months on end, pushing her further and further away from home. After a while, the guard presumed her dead, and gave up the chase. This had pushed Pyrite into the territories of Vektren, Chandor, Havir, Fellfang, Aryn, and Vale. She continues to reside in between the territories, stopping by each one on occasion to gather her own information.

## Group History

Pyrite met a few other wolves while living in the Domain. One of the first wolves she stumbled across was Valencia, a juvenile female traveling with her brothers Percy and Wendigo. Pyrite warned her of dangerous foods to eat, and offered to catch prey for the younger female. She chose not to meet Val's brothers, but continued on her journey alone.

She befriended some pack wolves too, like Reyna, when she was wandering near Vale to gather information.

When she first met Wendigo, Valencia wasn't with him. The two got into a fight over prey, and Pyrite only stopped herself from killing him when she recognized Val's scent on his fur. They parted ways, but would reunite later, as loners tend to do. He asked if Pyrite had seen Valencia lately, and Pi reported that she hadn't.

Wendigo wanted to go find his sister, and asked if Pyrite was willing to come help him find his sister. Pyrite wanted to help, and followed Pyrite out of the Domain to find her. Neither of the loners have been seen since.
