## Application Sheet

Barbosa was a dark gray she-wolf with golden accents and blackberry-colored eyes. She was found outside of Heyl as a pup, and raised by Crow and Ri chu. As a young adult, she and her best friend Orion left the pack to explore, getting separated for over a year, during which she lived as a loner. After reuniting with Orion, they eventually decided to become mates, and find a new pack to live in during the Hive Wars, settling in Fellfang. They had three pups together: Qassiel, Nephele, and Astraea. After the Hive Wars, Barbosa left Fellfang, and the Domain as a whole, with Orion joining her shortly thereafter. Barbosa was designed (with some edits) by kr00bs, and created and RP'd by Phelza.

## Personality

* ***Intrepid.*** Barbosa is a touch of a daredevil and is willing to take tasks under her paws that others may hesitate. (Except in fights). She is almost careless in how she goes about. She’s unafraid. Daring and unstopped by danger. She can hold her ground and finds herself leaping before she thinks. It will be incredibly difficult to stop her from doing something. Her amount of bravery is contagious and rubs off on those she hangs around. She’s incredibly daring. One may stare at a ravine that is stopping them from going forward, Barbosa would jump to the other side without hesitation.
* ***Intelligent.*** Calculated, clever and bright. Barbosa has an incredibly active mind, at times it's overwhelming just how many things run through her mind at once. If someone asks too many questions without pause for answers, she might become irritable. She can come up with a quick witted plan in order to escape a sticky situation, she may however be too impatient for all the pieces to come into play and tends to improvise as she goes along, which seems to work out well for her.
* ***Charming.*** Barbosa can tend to be incredibly charming with fluffy words and a sharp mind. She is often a pleasant one to talk to thanks to her willingness to communicate and her relaxed demeanor an
* ***Compassionate***. Ever since Barbosa was little she has always had a big heart, and she cares deeply about others around her and might have at one point been a bleeding heart. But thanks to her experience in the world she had grown a jaded shell in order to protect that side of her. Still she finds that her inherit care and tenderness towards those in need can peak out from under the guard.
* ***Reclusive and Reticent.*** Barbosa likes her privacy, she likes to be on her own and do things alone. She is protective of herself and of her friends so usually just sticks to those she already has relationships with. She doesn’t like help and especially not criticism. Despite her reclusive behavior she loves to be with her friends at times, and only focuses on those she prefers to dedicate time to. When she is feeling waves of depression and having a rather troublesome day she will cling to those she trusts the most. For those that Barbosa is not already close with it may be hard to catch a read off of her. She's poised and delicate. The whole world doesn't need to know what is going on inside her head. She feels as though she has to be a pillar of strength for those around her. Barbosa keeps her emotions to herself. For this reason many mistake her for being older than she actually is, she is easily mistaken for being emotionally mature, which she is not. She doesn't properly cope with her feelings or trauma and it may boil to a head.
* ***Rowdy.*** When Barbosa is with those she endears or feeling particularly happy she can be quite boisterous and loves to play. She will be the first one to dive into a puddle of mud, off the side of a cliff into water below. However thanks to her time as a loner, she does *not* appreciate being tackled in any sort of play fighting. She loves to talk a big game and portray herself tougher than she actually is.
* ***Spiteful, Truculent, Traumatized, Impatient, Overthinking, and Guarded.*** She holds a heavy grudge. Upset the female once and you’re already in the spiral downwards. She’s already holding onto anger that she just can’t let go. And anyone who happens to unlock that anger gets a fury of malice rained down on them. Barbosa suffers from fits of terror. She struggles to get sleep. Barbosa will have panic attacks, start trembling or experience phantom pains. Due to stress and anxiety, she will also experience head-spells, which cause her to zone out and collapse. She always tries to be prepared for the worst and will immediately try to guess what's wrong if someone comes to her with a *troubled* expression. She is able to recognize quickly the tone of voice in others. Any sort of yelling or bickering is too much for Barbosa and she will need to leave the area, otherwise it could cause her to have a head spell. Barbosa wants results and she wants them now! That is not to say she is pushy, but she doesn’t like waiting. Hunting can be an irking task when she has to sit and wait for a hare to come out of its hiding hole. It’s satisfying when she gets what she wants right away. Unfortunately, much of the world doesn’t work that way, much to her dismay. She will pout on her own private time about not getting what she wanted in a perfect timely fashion.

## Pre-Group History

Barbosa was conceived between two unlikely wolves on a bed of dandelions. It was never meant to have a happy ending. Her mother was a rebel and her father a tyrant. A recipe for disaster, sure. And one night both the rebel and the tyrant found peace and common ground after a life-altering near-death experience.

Barbosa's mother was already mated to another wolf, but that didn't stop the two wolves from having a tryst in the mate's absence.

On the run and seeking to recover lost family, Barbosa's mother traveled many miles with no one but her mink companion and a litter in her belly. She followed countless trails that led to dead ends for her family until she had, at last, stumbled upon what was her old territory. There she found her two children from her last litter and their acquired friends.

For the most part, Barbosa's father was not in the picture, despite his attempts. The rest of the family had very little trust in the wolf and made wild accusations that he must have forced himself onto the rebel, however, that simply wasn't the case.

When Barbosa was born, she was very doted on. But being the child of a rebel and a tyrant had put a bounty on her head and made her a liability for everyone's safety. As much as Barbosa's mother wanted to keep her, and even her father who wanted to be there to take care of her knew that they couldn't. Barbosa had nearly just opened her eyes before the storm struck. Her father and mother had made plans since the day she was born to send her away. Somewhere she wouldn't be chased down or murdered. And so her father took her far away from their home and laid Barbosa along a stream bank, surrounded by leaves and twigs for a makeshift nest. He left never to be seen again. And her mother along with her family pack disappeared without a trace.

Barbosa's mother lays somewhere beneath the surface of a roaring sea, and her father simply became a ghost, vanishing into the clutches of the wild.

## Trivia
