Savoy

Keeva (Sister)

## Application Sheet

Savoy was a gray she-wolf with neon-green eyes. Born alongside sister Keeva to parents Rikki and Evita, Savoy started life as a loner before joining the pack of Vale. There, she took a position as one of King Renier's Black Watch - his elite guards. She excelled in her position for a time, before mysteriously vanishing from the Domain, never to be seen again. She was created and RP'd by sourlemonfox.

## Personality

* ***Petulant**.* Savoy gets what Savoy wants, and if she doesn't, you better be ready to deal with the biggest brat you've ever met. She's gotten pouting down to an art form (Exhibit A: See above image). Obviously she hasn't been told 'no' often enough yet...I blame Rikki.
* ***Wild**.* This pup is hardly ever at rest. She's constantly running off to fight something or attacking her parents and sister. She hardly ever sleeps and it's a battle to get her down for a nap. Of course she gets cranky when she's tired/hungry/slightly inconvenienced. Her mouth has gotten her in a fair share of trouble already when she forget her manners or is a bit too brutally honest. She likes to bring back whatever she finds while exploring and poor Evita has to deal with finding Savoy's 'treasures' all over the den site.
* ***Reckless**.* Savoy never thinks before she does anything, whether it be words or actions. She's very headstrong and obstinately stubborn, it's nearly impossible to talk her out of something once she gets it in her head.
* ***Need to Please**.* Savoy NEEDS to have wolves happy with and/or proud of her. She craves praise and needs to feel like she's doing a good job at all times. She'll do just about anything asked of her to ensure this.
* ***Hardworking**.* Savoy believes in working till you drop. There is no excuse to give less than her best and she expects the same from others. This makes her a perfectionist and she can become manic in her pursuit of perfecting every aspect of herself.
* ***Fiercely Loyal.*** Growing up in such a small, tight knit family, Savoy brings that mindset with her where ever she goes. Though not a leader herself, she's more than happy to follow someone she considers one. Unfortunately, this loyalty has fallen at the paws of King Renier and Savoy is ready and willing to do anything the usurper demands.

## Pre-Group History

Savoy was born on a warm summer day to her two loner parents, first in a litter comprised of only two pups. Her parents were worried when their daughter was born so small but their fears were quickly dashed when Savoy proved her 'runt' status meant nothing. She loved to wrestle with her sister and was constantly harassing her parents for attention, pouting when she didn't get what she wanted. Savoy can't wait to see what this world has to offer.

## Group History

Keeva and Savoy got into plenty of mischief as puppies, enjoying nothing more than romping around and exploring (though this would sometimes worry their father!) As they grew up, however, the pair decided that they needed more adventure in their lives - they wanted to break away from their parents and explore the Domain themselves. Savoy entered a sort of 'emo' phase, where she preferred moping around than enjoying Keeva's wild adventures.

She met a loner named Mystic a couple of times, who taught the younger female how to be more confident in herself. She used this confidence to split from her sister and join the pack of Vale, entranced by the charming and handsome alpha, Renier. Savoy had no idea of the bloody actions that led to Renier's rule.

Savoy relished her new position on the Black Watch. For a time, she believed wholeheartedly that her position was one that was noble. Still, no wolf can stay blind to Renier's ways forever. The harshness of the regime meant that Savoy herself felt a change, too. She wrestled with her noble title as a member of the Black Watch, and the lost freedoms of being a loner.

When Keeva arrived at the borders, asking her sister to go on one last adventure, Savoy was all in with Renier's order. She dismissed her sister, defending the lands of Vale with iron wills, and Keeva scorned her for changing. Savoy warned her that outsiders were not welcome in Vale.

King Renier and Queen Wren had a child, a single girl named Shenandoah. Immediately, Savoy adored the little pup. She vowed to be Shen's protector, a loyal knight to defend the royal family, *especially* this little bundle of joy. Admittedly, Shen would grow to be a massive blind spot in Savoy's worldview.

She relished the times she was placed in charge of tending to the young pup while her parents were out and about. One day, Savoy took Shenandoah to the ocean, where the pup played and frolicked amongst the waves with her guardian.

When Shenandoah's parents were 'killed', Savoy was summoned with the rest of the Black Watch to hear the news from Alar. At this meeting, Savoy offered what little comfort she could to Shenandoah. However, little comfort would be had; Alar pinned the King and Queen's deaths on Rhaegan, and when Rhaegan attacked Alar, Shen leapt to his defense. Shen was knocked away, and Savoy immediately rushed to the princess's side, threatening to kill anyone who dared harm her. Alar charged her with guarding Shen while the matter of Rhaegan's treachery was dealt with.

However, after the tense events of this night, Savoy was never heard from again. She simply vanished one day from Vale, leaving Shenandoah and the Black Watch - and Keeva - behind. She hasn't set foot in the Domain since.

## Trivia

* Savoy's markings closely resemble her mother's although her coloration is closer to her father.
