## Personality

* ***Duty-Driven, Focused, and Vigilant.*** Whether she is working alone, or with collective others - duty is her first priority. The main task laid out is always her main interest, often putting it before friendship. To El, there is nothing more important to her than properly following out what has been instructed of her.  She is dedicated to ensuring the best of her abilities are present when working. Her diligence and focus on her work has gotten her known as a level-headed packmate, who cares deeply about the task ahead of them. Once she is set on fulfilling something, nothing can break her attention. It is as if she practically refuses to be distracted. Despite being tight-lipped, El is caring for those around her. Her watchful gaze isn’t just for her own being, as is the wait of the Hinterwolf - but for even wolves she holds little regard for. Her eyes remain focused often in the shadows, where most care not to look. When she is around, it is often wise to consider that her attention is not truly on who she is speaking to.
* ***Cordial and Proper.*** Despite being someone who prefers to keep her maw shut, there is a warmth that radiates from the dark furred wolf. It's often only noticeable to those who she trusts, or who trusts her. Being mindful of those she trusts and sees fit to be cared for closely. El has always been correct and direct in how she reacts to how others treat her, especially if that treatment is kindness. Raised in a society that lived off of the moving wellness of being correct in their work, it is of no surprise that this translated into how she is with other wolves.
* ***Secretive, Bitter, and Stubborn.***Despite the care and duty that El holds for Hintertomb - her past is her own, and not something she shares so freely with those around her. Not even those she was closer to than anyone else, her detachment through secrecy is one of her major flaws. Perhaps down to her not being so youthful, El has a hard time listening to the empty yapping of youth. They speak of the future so highly yet do nothing about it with their own paws, she has no time to be a mentor nor to nurture youthful minds and would rather spend her time doing something more rewarding. Watching those who want all but have little motivation to earn the world - cause her to be quite bitter. El has little time for those who question her deeply, especially that of her secrecy - she will make it clear they are testing her patience and tiring her wit. Her stubbornness often comes from her refusing to take breaks when she should, often tiring her back out and being too stubborn to admit defeat or wish for help.

## Pre-Group History

Hailing from foreign land outside of the domain. Raised in the mountains, at one point in time there had been more than one pack calling the territory home, in recent years they had become one large pack. Born to two older parents, in her youth Elaina was often out of earshot and reach. Always having a knack for discovering secrets that would dwell within the community. Such as secret affairs, gatherings and wolves who tried to leave the territory unwatched. But unfortunately for these wolves, her narrow eyes watched all.

Their densites were spotted across the landscape in four different locations, built upon the mountain where they would all see one another with the Union spot in the center of the collective dens. Where the packs would gather to discuss their findings and observations.

Unfortunately, Elainas’ watchful eyes were not the only ones within the Union. Having caught the attention of the Lowraths- the collective top Spies and Fighters within their community. Much to her shock, she is given the opportunity to train to become Lowrath herself. The chance to be able to retrieve stolen objects, and seek out information far from the packs land was far too tempting to be ignored by the youth.

Trained under Lord Roe, the head of the Lowraths himself - Elaina who shortly became just El due to Lord Roes’ short temper became a well molded Lowrath. Over the coming years, the decision to make the large wolf into one of his own had been paid back in reaped rewards. Never once had she failed at the retrieval of a stolen item, nor in tracking down loose wolves that had split from the Union.

At the age of 3, she was sent off in search of an irreplaceable item which had been stolen from them. The antlers of an albino young buck, the first who had appeared before the Union two dozen cycles before Elainas’ birth. Said to be connected to the heart of their gathering, the Union hearing that they had been swiped - sent them into a frenzy. Being smaller in size, it was no shock that they were taken - the audacity that someone would hurt them in such horror, was the worst part of it all.

Taking something irreplaceable was unforgivable.

One fateful day, several months into her journey - El met a wolf who almost seemed regretful to have been seen. Overtime, the Lowrath spent days learning of the secret community that lived within the lands after hearing of a wolf carrying white antlers. This interaction went on for days, until she dedicated to follow the wolf back to the passages. The scent of many wolves clung to the opening, it was felt as though it would be wise to not venture forward.

Not knowing how many wolves awaited her ahead, the wolf simply waited until surprised faces greeted her the following morning.

With permission granted, though watchful eyes of suspicion following her with each step after spending the prior week gaining the trust of the reclusive pack. It seemed that these were the wolves that she had been entasked in seeking out. Over the coming months, she spent time within the passages and wherever else she was granted. Until sometime later, she found herself joining their numbers after learning the item in question had been given to Hintertomb by a prospective wolf.

She heard of the Old Omen, at first thinking he was a figment of the imagination until he appeared. Nothing about him seemed to stand out, he seemed just another tunnel dweller but she gave him many thanks for being able to join them. The Choir intrigued her more than the Old Omen did. Her focus wasn’t fully on the high ranks, but of something within their record keeping store - the Antlers, having discovered through word of mouth they had been ‘gifted’ to Hintertomb. Though in her eyes, it was pure thievery disguised as a gift. However, the wolf learned quickly that her eyes would never fall upon the item in question since she was too low ranked upon joining them, so to ensure she could get the stolen artifact of the Union..

She played into her chosen Attunement of Spire.

Gaining knowledge of Hintertomb was a bonus, witnessing first hand how...fearful they seemed to be of dreaming and the gods. It baffled her, but she kept her mouth lidded. While she did not fear dreaming, nor the gods they clung to - she respected their fear, it kept them alive for many cycles and she had no right to mock it. The once stray found herself indulging in becoming a great Spire, whilst part was for her connections outside of the pack there was part of her that had grown to enjoy being a part of such a tightly knit community.

But two years of work in hopes of retrieving her mark went down the river, when the Collapse occurred.
