Cahal

Cara (Sister, NPC)

## Application Sheet

Cahal was a brown-furred she-wolf with leaf-green eyes. She was born into the traveling band of wolves which would later become Mhor under Archqueen Rowena. She served her pack as a Cleric, and her story is ongoing. Cahal was created and RP'd by Trrraven.

## Personality

* ***Courteous, Loyal, and Focused.*** Ever since she was young she had a feel for being kind and considerate to those around her. Being influenced by Mhorian culture, she was already taught to be fair and to protect all life and she took to it quickly and swiftly. Should one blunder in front of her she would attempt to nudge them in the right direction. She carries a strong bond to her family and pack and strives to protect all within her circles, should they be threatened.
* ***Stern and Placid, but Talkative.*** Cahal often has something to say, whether it be about the weather or about an important subject regarding the pack. She is not one to let herself go unheard. She speaks her mind without thinking about it, which may, and has, lead to her own blunders whether good or bad. But overall she doesn't speak much. She enjoys the company of others but also doesn’t mind being alone, as she can easily talk to the world around her even if it cannot talk back.
* ***Cautious, Shortsighted, and Stubborn.*** Sometimes a situation may come that she has to decide what to do by herself. She has ideals, influenced by the way of the Mhorian lifestyle; such as being welcoming and willing to aid any wolf no matter their allegiance even if it is to another pack. However, when it comes to something new to her, she has a hard time being able to see beyond the picture and being able to create new solutions to her problems. She often has to be guided when it comes to something she does not know or else she will do what she already knows even if it’s not the best option, as she doesn’t know any better. When she is set on an idea, she will stick to it unless she is harshly proved otherwise.

## Pre-Group History

Cahal was born in the spring with her sister Cara, to a loving mother and father, Alane and Farrel respectively. She was born in a small thicket into a small band of traveling wolves. They were not apart of the Domain but had a unique culture, the culture of Mhor. Cahal was greatly influenced by the traditions of the group.

The group made it easy for her and was kind and quick to accustom to the changes Cahal made for herself. She was taught by her pack to accept and strive to protect the lives of others. They welcomed friendly strangers and the group slowly grew. Although life was calm and relaxing, Cahal was never bored.

She had a good relationship with her parents, learning most of what she knew from them. She learned alongside her sister. She spent a lot of her time with her sister, doing most things together whether it be helping the pack or pranking them.

Travel was a joy for her, seeing the landscape change around her. The rivers they came across were times of fun, splashing about with her family and going for a swim. Exploring the depths of deep forests, learning about new plants from her father. She grew up appreciating the gift of life and how the Otherworld gave it to them. She was taught to forever thank the Otherworld for the nature it gave and that all life was important.

Cara strived to be strong and protect the pack with her strength, but Cahal was disinterested in learning to fight. She knew that in order to protect the pack from danger, strength was needed, but at the same time, she had no desire to experience battle and hoped she never would have to.

It was later in her life when things became bumpier. The pack had dwindled and few pups were born. They had found a grove for a vigil and there they were graced with the Archqueen, or at least the reincarnation of her. A pup that had not even reached a year old yet, her name was Rowena. Cahal wasn’t too sure what to think about it at first but admired the younger wolf for her dedication to trying to live up to the role that the older wolves had deemed her. Cahal merely kept doing what she did best and provided for the small pack the best she could.

In her 3rd year of life, the winter was quite harsh, setting an illness among the pack, claiming her sister to be returned to the soil. She was depressed for a time afterward, losing her other half, her sister was a harsh blow to her and her wellbeing. Sickness was inevitable and sadness spread among them all. They lost quite a few wolves but they kept moving and at the words of the Archqueen, they started north.

However, during a reflection vigil, during the beginning of summer for their long-expected travel, she had barely begun to start her reflection when two wolves began to loudly bicker. Taken aback, she avoided the conflict as wolves broke out into a civil battle, not wanting to harm those she considered her family. Kin to the Archqueen had started the dispute. Rowena’s own uncle had attempted to attack her upon her reflection and caused the death of Renwythe, one of the most loyal and also the father of Rowena.

The pack was still urged forward despite the loss of even more pack members. Cahal was feeling exhausted at the travel, becoming more and more questioning as to why they were traveling north in the first place. They traveled all through the fall, and Cahal’s father became lost during a hunt gone haywire. His head had been hit by a stray hoof and then trampled, the impact causing too much trauma and he died shortly afterward.

Alane was devastated due to losing her mate and fell into a state of depression and became fairly cautious about where and what Cahal was doing so that she did not lose another family member. Her mother also urged her to have faith in the Archqueen, but Cahal was questioning how much further they would have to go. How much further they would have to deal with loss?

As the beginning of Winter arrived, they had gone as far north as they could, with even the sea in sight in the distance. The Archqueen decided they would settle in a valley, having to rebuild in the harsh winter. Finally relieved that they had arrived at their location, Cahal was able to relax and reluctantly decided to believe that this was for the best and she would work to provide for her pack and family no matter the circumstances.

## Trivia

* Cahal’s favorite flower is the bloodroot. It was once a flower she disliked because it was such a plain flower, but it was her sister’s favorite. After her sister passed, she began to see the flower in a new light, and now favors it over others.
* Cahal tends to put her paw on top of the other when she is lying.
* If she is alone and has no one to talk to, she’ll talk to plants. She believes that even though they cannot speak, at least something is there to listen to what she has to say.
* She believes Winter is the loneliest season.
