Cricket

Urs (Sister)

Barin, Sozin, Phanuel, and Ezra (Brothers)

Riga (Adoptive Sister)

Cricket was a very small, dark brown she-wolf with golden eyes, daughter of two Aryn Betas - Kane and Eden. She was the sister of Phanuel, Sozin, Ezra, Urs, Barin, and Riga. She served her pack as a Vicar, under the tutelage of Lidya. She was created and RP'd by LunarShadowCreations.

## Personality

* ***Extroverted, Curious, and Bright.*** Cricket is a bright, bubbly she-wolf with natural curiosity. She's a bit of a handful, to be honest, but fortunately, her adult siblings are around to keep an eye on her! A true extrovert, Cricket wants to make as many friends as possible, happy to chatter to anyone who happens to drop by. Playful and a bit mischievous, the way most pups are, Cricket gets along with all of her littermates; she knows how to adjust her behaviors based on the one she's with, though her natural personality comes out when she's amongst all three of them.
* ***Active, Non-Competitive, and Empathetic.*** As Cricket grows into a strong, independent lady, she seems more and more like her mother with each passing day. She loves to be around her pack mates, and loves to *do* things with them - go on walks, play in the leaves, swim, whatever comes to mind. She's very active, but non-competitive. Part of this is due to her tiny stature and knowing she can never best her siblings (or any other packmate) in wrestling or contests of physical strength, though (she assures herself) she could *definitely* beat them in a race. She wouldn't want to make them feel bad, after all! She's very empathetic.
* ***Perfectionist, Needy, and Nosy.*** Unfortunately, Cricket is far from perfect. With ambition comes an *intense* focus on her social status - unlike her older sister Urs, Cricket *needs* to be the best at everything she does. She's a staunch perfectionist, and, regrettably, very needy. Cricket needs constantly to be validated, by everyone around her. Furthermore, she wants to know everything about her packmates, often sticking her nose where it doesn't belong.

## Pre-Group History

After the horrors of Raphael's Inquisition and the Great Fire, Aryn set to work rebuilding. Through this process of rebuilding, Eden and Kane, who had been mates for several years, rekindled a relationship that had been strained by pack paranoia. Much to their surprise, a few weeks after the fire, Eden was expected a second litter of pups. Terrified that her children would be unwelcomed by the new alpha, Cassandra, Eden dreaded the arrival of her children. When they did arrive, well...the love of a mother knows no bounds. The new parents worked together to name their pups, but the tiniest pup, who let out a shrill squeak on arrival, was named first. She would be Cricket, a reminder of what Aryn used to be - who Raphael, Kane and Eden's dear friend, once was. A reminder of all that was good.

## Trivia

* Cricket was named after Lord Raphael, Kane and Eden's beloved friend prior to his Inquisition.
* Her dark coat color comes from Eden's father Salem, and from Kane's father's side of the family (via Alexandro, Hedge, and Athena).
* Cricket's high cheekbones and narrow, slanted eyes come from her mother's mother, Eeva, who came from a distant desert-faring pack in the far south.
* She has zero fear of her elder sister, Urs. No matter how much Urs might threaten her (the way big sisters do), Cricket eagerly takes it and throws it back. Cricket *might* be Urs's favorite sibling for this reason? Nobody knows for sure.
