Naiteru Kiri

## Application Sheet

Naiteru Kiri was a pale silver she-wolf with silver eyes. After a tragic past outside of the Domain, resulting in the death of her son, she managed to make her way to Vale. When Loki decided to move Vale to a new territory, she left the pack and joined Chandor, instead. She was created and RP'd by ShishiNoSeirei.

## Personality

* ***Misanthropic and Judgmental.*** Her dislike toward her own kind is as deep as the open sky. Despite this deep dislike toward wolves and social structures, Kiri still manages to find wolves that she genuinely cares to call her "comrade", someone she wouldn't mind to keep safe to keep order and peace between packmates and herself. Kiri has learned to hide this trait in order to function normally with the others, as well to allow others to prove themselves and show her who they really are before she starts judging them.
* ***Nearly Emotionless.*** Kiri's feelings are very faint and barely felt. At best, she can gain a somewhat clear idea of what she is feeling and why, but those emotions are never strong enough to change her mind, stop her from executing an idea or action. Unfortunately, this makes Kiri fail to see the real sadness in this life. Since her son is still "alive", and those who die always seem to end up being moved to a realm that someones God created, the pale female doesn't believe in death. She sees life as a transformative form of being if one's shell breaks then one's soul transforms into something else and moves to a place where it can live forever. If there is no death...then there is no real need to be angry or sad. The only emotions she sees worthy to keep away from any pack or individual wolf is sorrow. To Kiri,sorrow is the worst offense toward any living creature.
* ***Dominant*.** When it comes to a fight, Kiri will make sure her dominance. Memories of her childhood where she was dominated by everyone are still an open wound. to make sure nobody gets an idea of creating a future for her or make her into something she isn't, Kiri shows that she doesn't intend to be dominated by anyone.
* ***Ruthless*.** In order to protect the others and show her own dominance, Kiri is not willing to back down from a fight no matter how bad it gets. She is used to living in pain, so wounds don't bother her as much as they would if she hasn't been abused so much. However, her blindness toward pain makes her also blind to how bad the injury really is, making her neglect her wounds she gains. Causing someone pain is her main way to discover how strong they are; a nasty habit she developed after the abuse she herself suffered.
* ***Twisted*.** Due to different teachings and her belief that one day the world will end, her view on the world is different. Anything that is positive for others - like love, light, kindness- is completely unnecessary for their survivor. In her eyes, Mist is part of her son, as well as being her sons current "Home", and her personal guide.

## Pre-Group History

Kiri's birth and life were planned long before she was born. Born in a litter of four, she was the sole survivor. Just like her parents' life, and her grandparent's life has been planned by packs and cults creator several generations ago. Like any other young pup, she didn't question or struggled against the teachings of her parents. She ate and slept when she was told, she played with other pups when she was allowed to, she was part of rituals her parents performed in front of the other members of their pack.  Her light coat fascinated many. Most wolves in her pack had either dark grey or brown coats, the only light-coated members were Elders. While their belief that performing specific rituals - sacrifices, self-harm, drawing blood, inflicting pain on others mm- kept the devil satisfied and kept him away from their world, and the mist was their guardian as well as a veil hiding a world where the devil would not be able to survive. When the mist was thickest, and the night sky enlightened by the full moon, entire pack gathered nearby the lake where the mist, was the thickest and performed a dance and a song with wounds covering their bodies. At this age Kiri was used to get into smaller disputes with her parents about what she wanted and didn't want to do, ending with her parents hurting her more than usual with - just like during her early pup-hood- made her cry more than usual. To avoid other similar fights Kiri learned to withstand the pain and her own dislike and inflicted those injury's herself.

Kiri's coat color resemblance to mist made her stick out from among the pups despite her own failure to see why she was so "abnormal" in their eyes. As she grew older she discovered how differently she was treated comparing to the others. Some of the other young ones, who decided they wanted to leave their strict and painful way of life, ended up being sacrificed to the devil. The day she became a juvenile her parents let her be the one who performed sacrifice rituals, making her a role model in their community. The older she got, the more pressure she had on her to live the perfect life as a faithful member of their pack. She was not allowed to make any mistakes. Having everyone's eyes on her made Kiri to seek shelter and isolation in the mist, from time to time either singing or dancing without harming herself. Those who discovered her small escapades when ended up being her personal curse; instead of being demoted to a normal status, it became a common belief the light coated wolf was performing this unusual non-ritualistic dance and song to keep their mist-guardian alive, making her stand out even more than she did before.  When she asked one of the Elders why he responded with a quote from their religious lore:

*"And from the mist, she was born, leading them all through the darkness to the safety of the light."*

When Kiri hit the age of young adult she committed the biggest sin - at least according to the Elders. Falling in love with anyone within the pack without her parent's approval was bad enough. Ending up carrying his pup was even bigger offense. In a try to keep her lover safe, she lied about her relationship and told them she never had been with a male before. Unfortunately for her, the Elders did believe her story, but it got a different result than she hoped for; instead of saving herself and her son from harsh punishment, the Elders demonized her unborn pup and branded her as devil's mate, someone others should avoid and stay away from. They believed that only the devil himself could create another living being, while the mist was only a thin wall between their world and the incoming apocalypse.

Her lie became her downfall.

She was forced into her parent's den and stayed there until the day her son was born. After that, the cruel reality of what happened to those who went against her packs religion was shown to her in form of torture. Kiri can barely remember how many days and nights she had to endure the suffering before the world became "clear" enough for her to start register what was going on. When she was still in a state of agony and shock, and her own will broken, the elders had almost no problems at all with pushing her to submit to their will and sacrifice her son. However there was small detail Kiri was never told; her son was already critically injured, his body broken by neglect, and poison spreading trough his body damaging him further from the inside.

He died shortly before Kiri performed the ritual. Both her Elders and parents had no issues with convincing Kiri that his death was her own doing. With her free will broken Kiri became a wolf that could be easily manipulated by others. Once she was done with her re-training,  Elders decided to accept her back to their community again.

While they started to love her again Kiri decided it was time to escape this place where she was supposed to act as their pillar of hope. whenever she performed a ritual she could hear a voice coming from the mist. Believing she was just slightly insane considering the fact that she sacrificed her own son for "the greater good" she ignored them at first. But once the whispers grew stronger she could swear she recognized that voice. She could swear it was her son.

Her mist became her own, personal Savior. During the night, when the mist was thickest and everyone else was asleep - and thanks to her good behavior she was allowed to choose where she wanted to sleep - Kiri managed to sneak out from her grounds territory. Not looking back at the only home she had since her birth, the young female left everything behind. On her long journey to the Domain, Kiri discovered the differences between her cult-oriented pack and a "normal"-pack. While not fully convinced these packs were any better than her old one, she was determined to find a community she could be part of. With her old teachings and pictures that have been painted by others slowly being pushed into the back of her mind, Kiri decided to seek up a pack she could serve in order to reverse her packs doing. If she went against the teachings and her packs religion, the devil surely would awaken and bring the apocalypse her pack feared more than death.

On her journey, she heard talks about a strong and fearful pack that called themselves "Vale". Fully convinced that she could handle anything that would come her way if she joined them, Kiri made her way toward the pack's territory, hoping to be accepted as a member of the pack.
