## Application Sheet

Kinsley was a light-gray she-wolf with curly fur and lemon-yellow eyes. She was born in Heyl to Oden and Impala, alongside siblings Matthias, Lucia, and Aleuna. She studied to become a Medicine Keeper, ultimately deciding to leave the pack, and Domain, with Kesta (known in Heyl as Heron). She was designed by SilverPocky, created and RP'd by switt.

## Personality

* ***Quiet**.* Kinsley is not the type of wolf to strike up a conversation. She prefers the company of silence and seems completely content that way. It takes some encouragement to even talk to her immediate family. She has mastered the art of answering questions and upholding a conversation with nods, shrugs, her eyebrows, and gestures. After a lot of prodding or if the message just isn't getting across, then she'll speak up, but only because she really has to. Due to her limited conversational skills, she is always worried that she may be saying the wrong thing. What if they didn't understand what she meant? Or, worse, someone is mad at her?
* ***Compassionate and Sympathetic.*** Just like her parents, she was born with a big heart and a lot of love to give. She's the first to offer what sympathy she can when others are hurting or just need someone to listen. Kinsley relates well with sympathy as she has been known to cry alongside others. She has difficulty hiding her emotions. Though quiet, she genuinely cares about the well-being of her family, friends, and members of Heyl.
* ***Peace Keeper.*** She loathes confrontation and discord, especially between her family and loved ones. Kinsley gets extremely anxious the louder the yells get, so much so she forces herself to speak up to keep the peace. It's not uncommon for her to get roped into some scheme to stop her siblings from fighting. The job of the middle child is never done.
* ***Self-conscious and Worrisome.*** Curly fur is just plain *obnoxious*. Countless times, other wolves will comment about how beautiful her fur is, how she looks just like her mother, or even go so far as to touch it. That drives her mad. They never seem to stay in place and no matter how hard she tries, she always looks scraggly. Deep down, Kinsley always wants to look her best, because her appearance is one thing she can control. She is the last wolf you would see playing in a mud puddle after a storm.
* ***Dedicated.*** A trait inherited from her mother. Kinsley loves any and all opportunities to learn something new. She's been known to wander around Heyl's territory to observe the wildlife, learn about herbs, proper ways to hunt, which is usually self-taught through observations since asking someone for help is a pretty big deal. Once she has a task in mind (or assigned), she'll try her hardest to accomplish it. Promises are sacred; one should never go back on their word. That being said, if someone does break a promise, it'll take a lot of convincing to earn her trust back.

## Pre-Group History

After a(n) insanely long wait, Oden and Impala finally confessed their love for each other. Once the two lovebirds got settled in Heyl, they decided to start a family, and that's where Kinsley's story begins.

## Group History

Kinsley was born alongside Lucia, Matthias, and Aleuna. The four had a pretty standard childhood. When she came of age, Kinsley decided that she wanted to pursue the path of Medicine Keeper, and began training.

She was still just a young delta when Kesta - then going as Heron - stumbled into her den. She realized that he needed more than just physical assistance - he needed healing for his *soul.* She spent a lot of time with him, as the weeks passed, the pair growing closer and more comfortable with one another.

But Kinsley's family, one by one, left Heyl, until she was alone. She thought that she wanted to leave the pack, and explore beyond as a loner. She carefully invited Kesta to come along with her - now that Heyl, in the aftermath of the Royal Coup, was disbanded. Kesta was torn. He wanted to stay with the Heylians, but he cared for Kinsley more. He thought...he might even love her.

Kinsley and Kesta left the Domain, then, and haven't been seen since.

## Trivia

* Kinsley was the last member of her family to leave Heyl.
* Kinsley and Kesta had strong feelings for one another, and though neither were ready to take the step and become mates, they were unwilling to part ways and wanted to explore their relationship further.

## Quotes

* "You were a fine patient...when you could stay conscious, that was.” (to Kesta, *A Walk*)
