## Application Sheet

Howl was a brown-furred male with green eyes, born in Blutwald to Gypsee and Caidan alongside siblings Madelene and Ellis. He lived in the pack until he and his mother decided to leave the Domain. Outside of the group, he would become mates with childhood friend, Bloom, and father their daughter Primrose, who returned to the Domain. He was created and RP'd by ShadowMagpie.

## Personality

* ***Caring.*** Howl is the kind of wolf to put others he cares about before himself, going out of his way to make sure that those that mean something to him will feel cared for. He will look after them when sick, and he will always lend an ear when someone needs help. He might not have all the answers, but he'll certainly help try to find them.
* ***Loyal.*** Once he opens up to you, and you to him, he becomes the most loyal wolf you could find. He never strays from those he either owes, or has pledged loyalty to. He would do anything for his leader, even do things uncharacteristic for him, though he'll do it with some conscience. He's loyal to family and friends alike, and hopefully one day, he'll prove to be a loyal mate.
* ***Protective.*** Much as he is loyal, Howl will stand up and protect those he holds near and dear. His pack is his family and will think nothing of stepping forward and taking the brunt of it. He will look out for younger members, remembering what it was like when he was younger.... feeling the fear on a daily basis, and not wishing it upon anyone.
* ***Trustworthy.*** Once a told a secret, it will always remain a secret. He's good to confide in, always turns up for his jobs, and always keeps his word. He'll never go back on promises, unless events are out of his control, and can always be relied upon to show up for anything.
* ***Patient.*** A very patient male, he'll show someone something as many times as they need, explain things multiple times, or even wait for long periods of time without so much as a bad regard. He knows things take time, and he knows everyone progresses at a different rate, so is more than happy to take his time.
* ***Skittish.*** Howl doesn't deal so well with loud noises or tense situations. He mentally likes to think everything is ok, though can often hesitate and dance around on the spot when things are uneasy. Things make him jump easily and it can take him a little while to calm down, and assess what went on.
* ***Fearful.*** He might not always make it known, but Howl is a rather fearful male. He panics over small things, and fears that members of the pack he was once in will find him. The stories of some of the wolves his mother faced that she used to tell him about still makes his fur crawl, and hopes he will never have to face them. He'll never show that he is afraid, and keep it to himself. He'll only open up if he really really trusts you.
* ***Anxious.*** Howl is always worried. Always. He fusses either over a problem he faced, a situation with a friend etc. He can sit and worry for hours, a constant whirl in his mind, making sure he doesn't get much sleep. He doesn't know always how to solve a situation, so will just worry about it, until someone reassures him.
* ***Shy.*** He's alone a lot, often hiding in the bushes and in empty places of the territory, often thinking on problems or reflecting. He rarely strikes up conversation, feeling as though he'd be annoying or not wanted, though he's more than happy to carry the conversation should he see the other wants to talk. He takes much after his father, and hopes that one day he will find someone to bring him out of it, just like his mother had done.
* ***Quiet.*** Howl rarely speaks in front of the whole pack, hanging round at the back and more observing than speaking. He'll happily talk to those he's close with, though will often stay silent in the presence of others. He'll offer his leader any knowledge or ideas he has, but that's the extent of public speaking. If he's comfortable with you, he's more open and fun loving, though it's his own personal barrier you have to overcome.

## Pre-Group History

Howl was born first out of a litter of three to Gypsee and Caidan. Gypsee and Caidan found love in Morrow, a pack that was formed during the reign of Roman in Blutwald, but was later disbanded due to the death of its alpha, Howl. Gypsee, being one of the founding members of Morrow, along with Crash, Gypsee's adopted sister and Alpha Howl's sister, moved back to Blutwald, along with Caidan. The pair began a shy romance in Morrow, where everyone could see they liked each other...apart from them. Gypsee and Caidan soon became mates after coming back to Blutwald, and had their first litter soon after that. Gypsee named her first-born son after the deceased Morrow Alpha, out of respect and honor for what he did for her and her family and for giving her a future.

## Group History

As a newborn, Howl always seemed dominant, however soon turned out that it was Ellis who would be the dominant pup of the litter. Early on, Ellis was involved in an accident causing him to be crippled in his back leg, causing Howl to want to look after him a lot. Howl always wanted to stick near to Ellis and ran around after anything he needed, learning to make splints for him from his mother and how to hunt from his father.

Howl was close to his sister Madelene - the pair followed the rules more eagerly than Ellis. He was close to Stallion's daughters, especially Bloom, as they aged. When Bloom was hurt in the Blutwald-Aryn War, he was there to help with her recovery - helping her to walk and keeping a smile on her face.

When the pack was put into lockdown - and Stallion announced that nobody could leave the pack's lands - the alpha chased Impala out of Blutwald. Howl continued to look out for her, while he was around the territory, and vowed that he could go find Impala as soon as the restrictions were lifted.

Things got progressively worse in Blutwald. Stallion left, and Winema took over as alpha of the pack. Madelene died, and the family was shattered by her loss. Caidan and Gypsee became even more protective of their close-knit little family - including Howl's adopted older sister Realnn. Caidan tried to connect with Gypsee, but after Madelene's death, the two grew more distant. Ellis left the Domain, leaving Howl as the only remaining son. Eventually, Howl and his mother left the pack - without so much as a goodbye to Caidan. They have not set foot in the Domain since then, though they found a new life beyond these lands.

## Trivia

* He was named for the pack leader of Morrow (Gypsee and Caidan's former pack) - Howl.
* Howl was revived in a group outside of the Domain, called "Crescent Children". Here, he reunited with long-lost childhood friend (and crush) Bloom, and the pair became mates and had a family together, with six children: Ivy, Starling, Fawn, Sweet, Tulip, and Primrose.
	+ Primrose entered the Domain a few years after Bloom was retired. These five other children were never a part of Domain-of-the-Wolf, and were RP'd in other groups. They have owners in these groups, but for the sake of DotW, they are written here as NPCs from Primrose and Bloom's histories.
