## Application Sheet

Seava is a golden-furred she-wolf, a Courser of Aryn, daughter to high-ranking Coursers Hani and Lawson. She is the sister to Yama, Harley, and Lidya - all four were born in the midst of the Aryn-Vektren War (she also has four younger siblings: Cage, Beatrice, Athens, and Altaeya). She followed in her parents' footsteps and became a Courser herself, and her story is ongoing, alongside mate Hera. Seava was designed by Wildfire-Tama, created and RP'd by switt.

## Personality

* ***Social.*** Seava loves to talk and is very good at it. Especially as a pup, she has made babbling and endless rambling into an art. She feels anxious where there is silence or lulls in conversations, so she will continue chatting without pause. She has made it her mission in life to be friends with every member of Aryn. It's not uncommon to see her flocking from wolf to wolf to ask about something as simple to the weather to as complicated as their entire life story.
* ***Assertive**.* As the oldest, she has no problem using that to her benefit. This means she's wiser, smarter, and more experienced than *all* her siblings. A common phrase is "I'm the oldest, so...". Seava has no problem communicating her wants, needs, thoughts, or position on things. A bold, forceful personality tends to clash with others, but she can recognize and respect other opinions. Doesn't mean they're right though.
* ***Literal**.* Seava is very straight forward. When assigned with a task, she'll break it down into a list then tend to hyper focus on one thing at at time. Puns, sarcasm, or metaphors tend to be lost on her. She has her blonde moments. When she doesn't understand something, she'll raise an eyebrow, roll her eyes, and make a comment about how that doesn't make any sense. Yama is her closest sibling but she has a heck of a time understanding him sometimes.
* ***Compassionate**.* Despite her strong personality, she genuinely cares about others, especially her family. Seava is very in tune with emotions; it's not uncommon to see her sympathy crying with others, although she'll try her best to put on a brave face. She feels others struggles and problems as her own. Her typical comforting approach is offering advice or kind words.
* ***Inquisitive.*** She is eager for knowledge. As she doesn't like to ask for help, Seava would much rather do extra work herself than to rely on others. The idea of having to choose one task actually proves to be a bit boring. She would rather know a little bit about each one to be a more well-rounded member. However, since both of her parents are high-ranking coursers, she is most curious about hunting techniques, their prey, and their habits. She is notorious for asking an endless amount of questions.

## Pre-Group History

Lawson and Hani met not long after Aryn was formed. Along with their friend Seaver, they formed the Courser Crew. When their lives seemed to be perfect and were living in bliss, Seaver left without warning nor an explanation. Through the hardship, the two of them grew closer, filling the role of Beta Courser that Seaver had left behind.

Time and time again, they were challenged. War, death, betrayal, countless scars brought them closer. Soon, that friendship morphed into love for Lawson where they were tested once again when Hani became overwhelmed with the confession. Heartbroken and at his lowest, Lawson sprung into pursuit after one of their pack members were taken. Face to face with a vicious wolf from his past, Lawson nearly lost his life on the battlefield. It was in that moment of seeing him covered in blood and wounds that Hani discovered love didn't have to be terrifying. Months later, when stranded together in the middle of a blizzard, lost on yet another adventure, they said the three words that were years in the making.

After months of trying, Hani became pregnant with their first litter. Although the parents were overjoyed, there was always the danger of the war lingering in the back of their minds. Despite all the trials and tribulations, the two vowed to continue to love and raise their family protected from the horrors outside Aryn's borders.

## Group History

Tragically, Lawson wasn't there when his pups were born. He had been attacked and left for dead by Monty of Vektren - and Hani fretted immensely over where he might be as she went into labor. It was a few days after the pups were born that he'd finally be able to return and meet the pups. Seava was the firstborn, and thus the eldest, followed by her sister and two brothers. She and her siblings were entertained by wolves like Urs and Barin, offering to take the pups and watch over them when Hani or Lawson needed a moment.

A lot of intense change would happen through their childhood. Seava was acquainted with death at an early age, as the pack's alphas were killed by Vektren and a new leader, Raphael, rose to take their place. As she grew up, there was a lot of tension within the pack, as discord was sown between those born into the pack and those from the outside. Seava, fortunately, was from one of the longest-standing families in Aryn, so she wasn't targeted by Raphael's Inquisition. Still, Hani and Lawson warned her to keep her head down and not comment on Raphael's leadership.

Seava was very obedient to these rules laid out by her parents and Raphael, and when she learned her sister Lidya had gotten in trouble for seeing an outsider (Sunrise of Chandor), she approached Lidya with *anger.* How could she risk the safety of the pack? Of *herself?* Lidya tried explaining he was her friend, but Seava told her that they couldn't trust outsiders - not now, at least. They parted ways on decent terms at least, with Seava essentially calling Lidya an idiot, but she was her *sister* and she'd never hate her.

Seava threw herself into her duties, training to be a Courser alongside her mother. She learned that she was a natural at the task (unlike her brother Yama). What she *wasn't* a natural at was speaking to attractive wolves - like Hera. After Lawson told her to stay away from the reddish-furred ex-Valerian, she couldn't help see what was so bad about her. Hera immediately assumed Seava was insulting her when she stammered over her words and made strange comments (like "you're gigantic!"), but it wasn't meant that way. Still, Hera sent Seava away after this first encounter angrily.

However, Seava was later approached by Hera who apologized and asked if Seava would be willing to give her lessons being a Courser. Seava was surprised, but delighted and willing to help Hera out. They shared a bit about their pasts (what their packs are like, the hunting technique Aryn utilized, the inspiration for their names) and decided, rather awkwardly, that they would be friends, much to Seava's delight.

Seava would rely on Hera's friendship when things in her family grew more difficult. Lawson was angry at her for getting involved with the business with Lidya and Sunrise; Yama was steadfastly loyal to Raphael and not talking to *anyone* in the family, it seemed, and Hani was hard to talk to. Hera listened and empathized, which was what Seava really needed. They continued to grow closer, the best of friends.

And then, Raphael lost his mind.

He set fire to the Old Rowan, which rapidly spread. Seava managed to find Lidya in the smoke, and the two of them were rescued by their parents, but Seava was alarmed when Yama wasn't with them. Hani explained that she wasn't able to convince him to flee, but thought Lawson might be able to. He sent Seava, Hani, and Lidya to safety and went to fetch Yamarashi. Fortunately, the whole family would survive the fire relatively uninjured.

Aryn welcomed a new leader in Cassandra, and the Inquisition ended. Seava continued honing her craft with Hera, and showing other wolves like Synnove how to hunt like an Arynian, too! A summer and autumn of healing from the Inquisition passed, and by winter, things in Aryn finally seemed peaceful. Seava and Hera often shared a den when the weather got cold and snowy.

That winter, much to Seava's delight, her brother Harley returned! He brought with him a pup he had adopted named Johann. She was so happy to see him, and felt their family was whole again. Nothing could ruin this - not even the threats of strange white wolves around the borders. Right?

But then Hera told her she was leaving. Hera had gotten word that her mother, a loner named Dahlia, was pregnant with her siblings, and she needed to go see Dahlia. Hera asked Seava to go, but Seava couldn't imagine leaving her pack, her *family*, and refused. The two were heartbroken at this - so heartbroken, in fact, that Seava changed her mind and raced after Hera, agreeing to go on this journey with her. The party picked up Hieronymus and Zinnia, Hera's siblings, and Silas, Zinnia's traveling companion. They were in high spirits.

They reached Dahlia, who'd already delivered her child, Aja, and spent some days with them. But an unexpected visitor arrived who changed the happy reunion into a bloodbath. Silvanus, Hera's father, came to kill Dahlia. Seava could only watch in horror as Dahlia demanded she and the three siblings stand back and let her fight Silvanus alone. Unfortunately, Silvanus gained the upper paw, and delivered a killing blow to his former mate. Seava stood back, not knowing what to do, as the siblings swarmed around Silvanus and killed him in retaliation. As his life faded, Silvanus's alter ego relinquished its grip of Silvanus's mind, and the father and mate these wolves had once known returned, if only for a moment, before both ex-Havirians passed away.

Numbly, Seava and the others returned to Aryn (minus Zinnia and Silas). After these horrible events, Seava was numb and the closeness she'd felt to Hera had diminished to avoidance as the darker she-wolf became withdrawn and distant. Despite this, Seava couldn't be numb forever - her mother shared some...interesting news with her when they returned. She was pregnant. Seava was...a bit grossed out, to be honest, but before long, four more siblings had arrived: Cage, Beatrice, Athens, and Altaeya.

## Trivia

* Seava is the eldest Lawni pup.
* Although she was named after her parents' best friend, she *hates* her name. She insists on being called Sese or Sea or some other nickname.
* She is especially close to Hani since they have a similar personality. Hani is her idol and wants to be just like her when she grows up.
* She is an absolute romantic. Her favorite story is about how her parents met and fell in love. Deep down, she would love to have a whirlwind romance just like them.
* Harley is her biggest rival, Lidya sings too much, and Yama's rock obsession is weird (though she'll never say this out loud).
