## Application Sheet

Quill was a silver male wolf with pale gold and dark gray accents, and dark green eyes. Orphaned in the midst of the Hive Wars, he and his siblings (Sawyer, Tate, and Finnegan) would be adopted by the Lady of Riverfell, Shiloh. Quill's story is ongoing. He was created and RP'd by SaskedieJagerin.

## Personality

* ***Courageous*.** With every situation he's faced, Quill doesn't back away. He'll brave firm and with his tail raised with whatever he's dealing with, ignoring any pain or fear that the situation might cause. He won't retreat and he'll do what's right. He won't let anything that happened to he and his siblings take place again if he can.
* ***Loyal*.** Firm on his ideals, family and pack, Quill would never be corrupted and betray all that he believes in. He's fully devoted to his family and pack and nothing can change this.
* ***Passionate*.** Into whatever thing Quill decides to dedicate himself to – from the littlest task to something far more important – you'll never see him working badly, unfocused and distracted, Quill will give all of himself to what he's doing.
* ***Scarred*.** Despite his attempts to forget most of his past with his birth parents, the memory of the event that he and his siblings witnessed remains. Quill will be forever scarred by that day and is keen to do all he can to protect his family and avoid what has happened when they were children, to the point of becoming an unhealthy obsession.
* ***Haughty*.** Being the Lady's son sure inflated Quill's ego 'a little'. He can be quite annoying with his feeling of being somewhat superior or special given who his mother is and he doesn't realize that, instead of entering someone's graces with his attitude, he's going to gain the opposite result.
* ***Judgmental and Prejudiced*.** His early life experiences left Quill with prejudices towards other creatures that aren't wolves and even towards wolves who chose not to live within a pack. Although never so openly, Quill feels superior or even annoyed by someone's presence if it does not fill his standards. As a pup this might turn more into a fearful reaction, as an adult, Quill usually keeps to himself such opinions, knowing the ethics of Riverfell, but by looking at his face, someone might notice there's something wrong.

## Pre-Group History

Born amidst the threat of the Hive Wolves, Quill and his siblings had chosen perhaps the wrong time to come to life.

Unaware of the looming danger posed by the Hive wolves, Quill didn't understand why he and his family were always on the move. He didn't like this. He couldn't even begin to explore or like something that they had to move and leave for somewhere else. This constant travel wasn't leaving any space for stability. Plus, the forests that they walked in were difficult for someone who had just been weaned. Seeing that his complaints led to nothing, Quill decided to stop sharing them out loud.

His dream of staying in a place for more than a few hours finally became true, even though under grim circumstances.

Sawyer was struck by an unknown illness. They all kept going at first but it was clear his sister couldn't walk after them. His father carried Sawyer for a while but then a decision was taken and they all set camp nearby an open meadow which they all explored, while Sawyer rested: Quill and his two other siblings with their father to spend the time and their mother seeking for some herbal remedy to help the sick pup. Quill was ecstatic by the exploration and by the fact that they could all finally rest in one place instead of hurrying away. Sawyer wouldn't have been able to pace after them anyway, so he was also happy she could rest some more.

Things got better when their mother managed to find the right herbs to cure Sawyer. She still needed rest but the remedies were working already. Quill was saddened they would soon have to say goodbye to the meadow and the place but was ready to leave, knowing it was useless to complain.

Only that, they never left.

It felt all like a blur, one moment he was outside and the other, his father was forcing him inside an old, narrow and stinky fox hollow! His ears were filled not just with his but with his siblings' complaints regarding the small hollow but were then hushed not just by his parents but by other voices, sounds that Quill didn't recognize and that were far from being friendly. As far as he knew, his parents had no acquaintances around.

The sounds of the fight - the *uneven* fight - deafened everything else. He couldn't see anything but he could hear. And then, he could hear nothing. The fight had ended and his parents were dead.

Within moments, his life changed. From being an orphan of war to becoming the Lady of Riverfell's son. A Riverfellian patrol, alerted by the fight, arrived and rescued Quill and his siblings. Still coming to terms with what had just happened, Quill begins his life under the protection of Riverfell and its Lady.

## Trivia

* Your classical “old man yells at children playing outside”.
* Wears (unintentionally) a stern/annoyed look over his face. As an adult, this might feel intimidating to some.
* Quill is absolutely devoted to Shiloh and began almost immediately to call her 'mom' after she took the litter in. As an adult, he refers to her in a more formal way ('mother') but as affectionate as in the beginning.
* Quill rolls his eyes. A lot.
* Quill is aware Sawyer is the heir of Riverfell, yet he does not feel jealous that his sister was chosen for the role. He sees himself as her knight, if she's to be the future Lady, he's going to be her protector.
* Quill fully embraced the ways of Riverfell.
* Due to the end his parents met, Quill despises the life as a loner, he'd never leave Riverfell and sees loners as wolves who didn't fully understand pack life. He was fine with Riverfell traveling (when he was taken in) because he was told that this nomadic style was only temporary and that they would soon return to their lands.
* Quill never classified the Hive Wolves as wolves, despite their belonging to the 'wolf' class but as other creatures, far from being wolves. This causes an inner fear/phobia towards other creatures that are not wolves (note: not prey animals) such as foxes, bears, felids, even some bigger avians that may cause some clashing, given Riverfell's tradition of having other species as guests in their territory (if not almost like packmates).
* To protect him from the traumatic events he witnessed, Quill's mind stuffed inside a box in a corner of his mind the memories of his birth parents. Quill doesn't consider them his parents and, even after a few months of being with Shiloh and Riverfell, he can barely remember them. He acts as if nothing truly happened and he's always been with Riverfell. Forcing the subject can result with him snapping.
