Reyna

## Application Sheet

Reyna was a golden-furred she-wolf with brass-colored eyes. She served Vale as a Medic during the Dark Ages. She fell in love, and became mates with, Mavis, who'd been born in Aryn. After the end of this difficult time, she asked Mavis to leave the Domain with her for a fresh start, and the two haven't been seen since. Reyna was created and RP'd by OkamiShiri.

## Personality

* ***Vivacious***. Reyna is a very lively wolf, to the point she dislikes sitting still for long. She is extremely expressive, and generally quite cheerful and enthusiastic. Unfortunately, her boundless energy makes her quite a terrible hunter, as she finds it terribly hard to keep quiet long enough to approach prey. However, she is quick on her feet, and thus somewhat makes up for her lack of silence.
* ***Compassionate***. Mostly towards her close friends and pack mates, Reyna is quite caring. She is very soft-hearted, and could never leave an injured wolf alone regardless of where they came from. Even if the wolf were her enemy, if their life was in danger from their injuries, she would not hesitate to help.
* ***Obedient***. A very respectful wolf, Reyna tries to avoid ever challenging her superiors. She is dutiful, and sees no shame in this. Although she will on occasion argue or fight to protect what she believes in, it is a rare occurrence and only when she truly believes the other party is in the wrong.
* ***Sarcastic***. Reyna has a terrible habit of being sarcastic towards others, generally those around her age. She would never show this side of herself to pups nor her superiors, but toward those ranked similar to herself, she cannot help but make the occasional snide comment.
* ***Apathetic***. Although generally Reyna is a kind wolf, she can also be quite uncaring. Usually toward wolves that complain a lot, or who's stance on something varies vastly from her own. Although she could never allow another wolf to suffer, if she does not like the other wolf she becomes fairly emotionless and detached.
* ***Fiery***. Reyna can be rather quick-tempered if one is to rub her the wrong way. She is highly determined, and thus once she sets her mind to something, it can be hard to change. Reyna is passionate about her beliefs, and will become angered if they are challenged.

## Pre-Group History

Reyna does not remember much of her early pup days. From what she was told, she was found as a young pup by her adoptive father whilst he was out hunting. Their pack was small, mostly consisting of their own family members, and she grew up with two other male pups. They were only slightly older than herself, but they protected her and she was treated as one of their own.

Due to this, Reyna never really felt the need to go out and search for her own family. She figured there were only two possibilities- either they didn't want her, or they were killed. She felt sure that had they been alive and actually wanted her, they would have found her by now. Although initially a painful decision, she chose to never look for them. Her adoptive parents were the only parents she needed.

As Reyna grew older, so did her parents. They were already getting on in their years, and the litter they had had when they found her was to be their last. Although in some packs it would be custom for one of the brothers to take over, they were very close with their parents and had no wish to do so. And thus, Reyna set out with them. The eldest brother wished to start a pack, and invited the other two to join him once they found a safe area.

Unfortunately, when Reyna and the younger brother were out hunting, they accidentally crossed their territory's border into what was apparently the land of a very ferocious male. The wolf attacked them, and whilst they tried to escape, each time their path was blocked by the older, more experienced wolf. Losing all hope, the younger brother attempted to protect her. The older wolf bit down on his front leg, and Reyna screamed in fear.

The older brother, having heard her, rushed to them and attacked the stranger. After a harsh battle, the stranger fled, but not without fatally injuring the older brother. He begged Reyna to go on and find a pack, and made the two promise to live out long, happy lives, before his breaths slowly faded away.

The younger brother, his leg beyond repair, told Reyna not to blame herself. Their brother had given his life for theirs, and he would not want them to be sad. He decided to part ways with Reyna, returning to their parents, since he was no longer much of a hunter.

Reyna vowed to never let a wolf to die in front of her again, and moved forward.

## Group History

Reyna was accepted into Vale only a short time before Faust was supposedly killed by Renier. She didn't know what to expect of the new leader, but she was a bit concerned by the presence of the Black Watch. Still, she tried to remain optimistic, and kind towards others, even loners. When Pyrite approached the borders, curious about the news of Renier's takeover, Reyna was willing to speak with her, and even asked why she didn't try to join the pack. Pyrite wasn't interested.

Times changed again. Alar conspired to depose of King Renier and Queen Wren, and become the "King Regent" for their daughter, Shenandoah. Shen was suspicious of nearly all of her packmates, including Reyna. When Reyna paused to investigate some shiny belladonna berries - a known poison - Shenandoah caught her, and accused her of conspiring to poison her and Alar. She demanded that Reyna eat the berries, or be turned over to Roan and Hidde for punishment for her treachery.

Reyna did the logical thing, and ran.

She ran until she was spotted by Loki, who inquired about what was wrong. Reyna explained that she was training to become a Medic, and was learning about the local herbs and berries, and Shen had caught her. Loki assured Reyna that she would not need to fear any consequences from Shenandoah, as it was just a big misunderstanding. He assured her that he would keep her safe. Reyna was a bit relieved by this, and she told him she'd become a good Medic to help her packmates in return for their protection.

She met another packmate named Mavis. Originally, she liked him, but then he admitted that he was actually part of the Black Watch. This made Reyna distrustful, but he assured her that he wasn't going to perform evil deeds just because of his position, and even though they'd have to pretend that he was superior to Reyna, she could consider him a friend.

Reyna practiced her duties as a Medic. She put her skills to good use when Alar had Hidde and Roan torture Loki and Keme. They were left in pools of their own blood, and Reyna snuck past the wolves who were supposed to be standing guard over the pair, and tended to their injuries, trying to keep her promise to Loki, made many moons ago. Keme asked a favor of Reyna: could she get Fellfang's help to bring Keme out of Vale?

Reyna succeeded with this task, and managed to bring Baely, Rutnik, and Temperance to help Keme flee. Loki remained behind, knowing that his pack still needed his help, but Keme could be safe outside of the pack.

An earthquake rattled the Domain, and Mavis rushed to make sure his dearest - perhaps only - friend was okay. She dubbed him her hero, and they both made it out of the earthquake without any major injuries.

The Dark Ages came to an end when the rebels made their move to depose of Alar, and Faust returned with ex-Havirians to help. Reyna was finally able to feel a sense of peace. She spent time openly with Mavis, and eventually, he asked her to become his mate. She shyly agreed, loving the large, gray-furred male.

She got caught in an elk stampede, but fortunately, Mavis was there to help her back to the main den. As she recovered, Reyna struggled with feelings of helplessness and weakness. She grew poor-tempered, and lashed out at Mavis for hovering around. She didn't want his *pity*, she could take care of herself! She didn't realize that he was only tending to her because he loved her, not because he thought she was weak.

Reyna apologized to Mavis, and explained that she wants to have a family with him, and settle into a normal life, but she was doubting that Vale was the place to do that. She admitted she didn't know *what* to do. Mavis suggested they take a trip to visit his family in Aryn.

After the trip, Reyna told Mavis that she wanted to leave Vale...and the Domain itself. She wanted to have a fresh start, to find independence and hone her skills as a healer, and asked if her mate was willing to go with her. Mavis absolutely was, and the two went to Loki to inform him of their intentions, before they departed the Domain, never to be seen again.

## Trivia

* Her voice is effeminate, but somewhat deep.

## Quotes

* "...I want to learn to fight. But… I don’t want to get in the way. For now, I’ll try to become a good Medic so that I can return the favor.” (to Loki, *You Have Friends Here*)
* "I want to leave! Not just Vale, I... I want to leave this area. I need to gain more experience, and I feel like that'll never happen if I stay here. I want to become a better medic and learn to properly live without always relying on the pack to look after me. Will you...come with me?" (asking Mavis to leave, *Departure*)
