Meria (Adoptive Mother)

## Application Sheet

Solas was a white-furred male wolf with pale grayish-brown markings. He was found as a pup during the Hive Wars, and brought into the pack of Vektren to be raised by Meria. He left the Domain during the Hive Wars, and hasn't been seen since. Solas was created and RP'd by Fangedbite.

## Personality

* ***Caring, Protective, Determined, and Adventurous.*** Being a determined male, he will do whatever to get what he sets his mind to. No matter how many times he may fail at it; he’ll get up and do it again till he accomplishes said objective. Solas is quite caring and protective to people who are deemed fit for his ‘time’; aliases can only be seen around his own parents and his now guardian Ria. Due to his new environment he is quite adventurous and will do what he can do try to explore places on his own if his guardian isn’t present.
* ***Studious and Charming.*** Under Ria’s protection and love; he had found himself to be quite studious. Eager to always learn new things; immerse himself into subjects that he shows interest in and take in all the knowledge that is fed to him from either Ria or other wolves around him. Solas has a tendency to be smooth, engaging, charming and slick towards others when he wants something. Majority of the time it’ll be an insincere charm; he’ll use his silver tongue and his looks to achieve things if needed.
* ***Machiavellian, Belligerent, and a Perfectionist.*** He can be quite devious; very cunning and scheming with his ways. May it be his words or his actions; Solas may rely on these tactics to achieve things and use people to get his way. Can be seen hostile and aggressive at times; he can be very hostile towards wolves he may not know or snappy at them for no reason. The teachings he got from Ria told him he had to perfect his ways; to do them carefully or else things will not turn out the way you want them too causing his standards to be quite high.

## Pre-Group History

Icarus ‘Solas’ Eli was born with a purpose to fulfill; he was a single pup born under the guidance of the night. His parents Oniria and Cerano were happy; they adored their pale bundle of joy but sadly it wasn’t going to last. It’ll only be a short while til the pup finished weaning and could handle solid food.

It was a bad memory that his parents would rather not bring back; but a few months back his father Cerano was kidnapped by a pack close to the domain and managed to get Oniria to escape since he would prefer his pregnant mate to not be harmed. The female couldn’t do anything on her own; she had heard tales of a pack that would do the dirty work if awarded with some sort of offer to return for the request. Oniria traveled towards the taled lands; not knowing if it was true or just a rumor but she managed to find the area that is apparently where they lived. Standing on the outskirts she eyed the marsh as her body shook slightly with nervousness before she rose her head towards the sky and howled to let her presence be known to the strangers.

Two wolves had emerged from the foliage of the territory as they made their way towards the dam; her eyes watching the two carefully as her tail sways a bit with nervousness before they had asked her for what she needed. All she could say was she needed help getting her mate back; one of them asked what the reward would be if they accepted this request. Oniria didn’t have much; they used to be pack wolves before they left to go enjoy a trip out as loners and they’ve enjoyed it so far. The only thing she could offer was a pup from her unborn litter; she paused for a moment thinking hard about it before the words fell out of her lips.

**“I’m pregnant...I’ll be giving birth in a few days; I’ll offer one of my pups as a reward as that’s all I have...”**

After those words were said; it was too late to take it back. The wolves nodded and told her when it was accepted and she could relax nearby while they go do their thing; all the she wolf could do was let out a nervous breath as they finally walked away.

Over the course of a week; she had small meetings and updates with the wolves that were working on her request. It felt long but eventually it was over and she was reunited with her mate Cerano; she was so happy and filled with relief- All she could do was sob and thank for the Vektren wolves for accepting her request and bringing her mate back home before they left with the promise of returning and leaving a child at the borders for them to take.

On the day of birth; his parents weren’t expecting just a single pup. Their hearts churned with heartache; knowing that their first litter was a single child who would be leaving them so soon. The pup’s white pelt gave Oniria the idea of calling him Solas; while his father decided to add in Icarus and Eli. Gifting the pup the name of Icarus ‘Solas’ Eli.

When Solas was able to handle solid foods and not rely on his mother for the motherly interactions he needed as a mere pup; he was ushered along with his parents towards a place unbeknownst to him. As they reached the territory; he was confused. The hugs that his parents gave him were so tight; so… yearning and he almost felt the emotion of dread but he didn’t understand it until his eyes widened as he was placed by a massive tree near a groove of a root before his mother had howled. All Solas could do was watch his parents; tears running down their cheeks as they kissed him goodbye and turned around and left.

For a pup who left his mother so young; he wasn’t scared. He was numb for the abandonment; turning his head away from the view of his parents fading away in the distance he stared into the swamps. Calculating eyes taking everything in before he heard footsteps; as a gorgeous brown wolfess stumbled upon him.

## Group History

And so, young Solas was taken to Vektren under the care of Meria (though when Judith first met him, she had no *clue* who was taking care of him!). Ria doted on him, and although he didn't like to admit it out loud in front of others, when it was just the two of them, he was very affectionate and full of love for her. Solas loved when Ria called him "her snowflake". He was introduced to another pup his age, being raised by Azalea: Devidas. Solas thought Devidas seemed weak and pathetic, and wasn't interested in engaging further. Indeed, he had trouble relating to his packmates, and preferred to keep emotional distance from them, though he did get a soft spot for the Mistress's sons, Ophion and Amon.

As Solas grew, he began to consider Siren a friend as well, at least to some extent. The pair were similar ages, and shared an emotional distance from their packmates. Ultimately, the duo buzzed with excitement as Vektren traveled towards Riverfell: to war against the Hive! Prior to this journey, he sparred against Judith, who underestimated Solas's scrappiness!

What he did in the battle against the Hive is unknown. He returned to Vektren with his packmates, but would eventually disappear from the ranks. Nobody knows what became of the white-furred young wolf, but he hasn't been seen since.

## Trivia

* His full name is Icarus Solas Eli, but he goes by Solas.
* He adored his adoptive mother. *Solas wouldn't always say it out loud; nor in front of people but when it was them. Just them; he could be himself a bit and show how happy he was to have her by his side and that he saw her as a motherly figure. Someone he loved and adored; someone who he knew he'll protect once he grew older and took on a task. She meant the world to him; one thing he'll never get sick of hearing from her...*Ria calling him her snowflake.
