## Application Sheet

Lidya was a light-brown she-wolf with golden eyes, who served as a Theta Vicar in Aryn. She was born to Hani and Lawson in the midst of the Vektren-Aryn War, alongside siblings Yamārashi, Harley, and Seava. She had four younger siblings as well: Athens, Altaeya, Beatrice, and Cage. Lidya served Aryn loyally through Raphael's Inquisition and the Hive Wars, narrowly escaping death. Her story is ongoing. She was created and RP'd by iBadge.

## Personality

* ***Loving***. At Lidya's core, and perhaps the driving force behind most everything she does, is a heart overflowing with love. It's a heart that she wears on her foreleg, to be sure. Inspired by the goodness and selflessness around her and of her packmates, this little pup seems equally determined to live her life for others, and she cares deeply for the wolves around her.
* ***Bold***. Whether it's to her benefit or disadvantage, this is not a pup who seems to know fear all too much. She speaks what's on her mind, does as she desires, and the courage she possesses makes her bold enough to do so. Chances are there will be instances in her future where reprimanding will be in order... that is, until she figures out when it's her turn to speak, or what her place and role within Aryn is to be.
* ***Smart***. That is not to say that Lidya is a well of knowledge. Far from it, in fact. Her smarts lie in a natural intelligence that makes her near cunning. Her mind moves quickly, processing information and understanding certain sensations and looks. For example, she knows than Da gives her *that* look, she knows she's not allowed to do it... Which means she knows to do it while he's not looking. She knows that Mama laying down means there's *food*, which is why Lidya can frequently be found climbing all over Hani when she so much has her rump on the ground.
* ***Blunt***. Lidya doesn't have a mastery over the concept of subtlety, and it's likely that she'll never develop one. She calls it as she sees it, whether she verbalizes it or not. (Nine times out of ten, she'll blurt it out regardless.) Neither tact nor walking on eggshells are things she's good with. While it generally means she's almost always honest, it doesn't always come out in the best way.
* ***Whimsical***. This is a little she-wolf that's a dreamer. More often than not, the wee Arynian sister will find herself looking up at the clouds and wondering what the One is doing up there. She has a big imagination and tends to get swept away by it. Some may think of this as a blessing, but others may see it as a curse. There's no knowing if she'll grow out of it or not. But for now? She's content to have her heads in the clouds.
* ***Active***. For all the nomming that little Lidya does, she certainly works it off. She is an active little she-wolf who *likes* running around, climbing all over her babysitters, and being outside in general. She's an active explorer who loves being out and about. A right terror, as many might say.
* ***Dramatic***. When something, anything, transpires, Lidya is a pup who tends to blow everything out of proportion. Not being able to go outside? She'd rather *die.* She can't leave the main dens? She's being held prisoner! And because she has a tendency to be loud and bold, well. Every once in a while, this brown puffball tends to throw a tantrum. Her active, vibrant personality can easily turn into something nasty and troublesome.
* ***Impulsive***. As smart as she can be, Lidya surprisingly doesn't do a lot of active thinking. She'll act before she thinks, and oftentimes she'll act on simple impulses that can get her into trouble. She's a doer, rather than a thinker, to the extent that she doesn't listen to logic so much as she listens to her instincts and her heart. And she trusts them implicitly, without any additional thought.
* ***Naive***. Young and believing the best in the world around her, Lidya has no particular reason to know of war, and of the evil Vektreni. Life is food, sleep, and play. And, of course, the love of her Arynian brothers and sisters around her. Arguably sheltered, Lidya believes this to be reality, and has no understanding of why other wolves would be harsh or cruel... and therefore, she doesn't think they are.

## Pre-Group History

Both of them had been outsiders. Mother, the only daughter in a family clan of warriors led by a tyrant. Father, a male raised by a loving pack from outside the Domain and inspired by wanderlust. Both became Coursers for Aryn, and after an afternoon, they became Fawn and Porcupine to one another. Their love wasn't immediate, but over time, it began to become something that defined them both. Their loyalty and love to each other, but to Aryn overall.

But that was when the war began. It started with an infiltration. Then betrayals. Kidnappings. Fighting. In the midst of all of this, though, Aryn, and Lidya's parents both, found reasons for beauty, love, and celebration. The two confessed their love for one another, became mates under the loving gaze of the One, and now, that love has finally manifested in a litter of pups. When she's older, perhaps Lidya could imagine how terrifying it must have been, to bring pups into a world becoming fraught with danger and death.

## Trivia

* The scars on the back of her neck were administered during the Inquisition. The rest of her scars came from an attack by the Hive.
