Iradessa

Crane, Angus, and Zilar (Brothers)

Lepotica (Adoptive Sister)

## Application Sheet

Iradessa was a brown-furred she-wolf, the daughter of Fume and Cyrus of Havir, born alongside siblings Crane, Angus, and Zilar, and adoptive sister Lepotica. She struck out on her own as a loner before she left the Domain. While living outside of the Domain, she fell in love with, and became mates with, Vergil, an ex-Vektreni. News of her death would arrive via her daughter, Morana, who joined her father's pack, Vektren, some time later. She was designed by Hyperesis, created and RP'd by tisea.

## Personality

* ***Curious.*** The girl has an immense desire to learn everything there is to know. Despite her age, her gray eyes hold a certain 'older then her years' look to them. While she's a dreamer, Ira' has a hard time believing in anything fantasy and is always trying to find the "Why?" in answers that don't have a solid foundation.
* ***Reclusive and Uncertain.*** With the death of her mother, Iradessa fell rather reclusive and unsure. Her faith in the Gods fizzled in the darkness of despair and her trust in those around her began to wane dangerously.
* ***Direct, Stoic, and Bitter.*** As she drew into her young adulthood, Iradessa's quiet unsure resolve solidified into something akin to stoic uncaring bitterness. She began to see those within her pack as fools with their head in the clouds. She believed the Gods were an idea, a myth, created to keep those within Havir in check. She never voiced her opinions, she knew that would be a blow she wasn't willing to give her already wounded family. The lingering fear of what haunted her nightmares and the shadows every night, keeping her from sleeping, also added to her ever growing bitterness and attitude. She's by no means 'mean', but her directness and humorless resolve often comes off as rather 'rude'.

## Pre-Group History

Iradessa was born to the betas of Havir: Fume and Cyrus. She was conceived in the late fall, and born in the dead of winter. The second-born of a litter deemed 'the ultimate Haviran warrior pups', her siblings included Crane, Zilar, and Angus. Iradessa was named fondly after her godmother, and her father's best friend, the "late" Ira.

## Group History

Her childhood would be marred by the loss of her mother. After watching her brother murder their mother Fume within the den while everyone slept, Iradessa's world changed forever. She was wary of every shadow around the corner, of every face that she once saw as friend or family. She withdrew into herself and began to turn her back on those who mattered the most. She tried her hardest to protect at least her father, despite there being very little she could actually do for him. Iradessa began to find herself hiding along the borders of Havir, avoiding patrols and even her own father, simply to be alone. She was afraid of everything, and everyone.

As she grew, Dessa's fear morphed into something else entirely. She was tired of being afraid, tired of fearing the shadows and her own dreams, tired of feeling out of place and alone within the only home she ever knew. It was getting more difficult to keep her family safe when her brother knew that Iradessa had seen him murder Fume. At the same time, she couldn't say anything to her father. She had known this long and yet said nothing about the night her mother was murdered right before her eyes. To protect not only her family but herself, Iradessa made the silent decision to leave Havir. She hoped that outside it's borders she could find the answers, that she could find herself, and that she could find justice; even if she had to suffer to get it.

This wasn't the case, and she decided, after living a short time as a loner, to leave the Domain, to try and find happiness elsewhere. And perhaps she did. For a time, at least.

## Trivia

* From day one, Iradessa has always been extremely logical, speaking way past her years and very directly.
* While living outside of the Domain, she met Vergil, a handsome Vektren male who swept her off her feet. She fell in love with him, and bore his daughter, Morana. Vergil was prone to fits of rage, and Iradessa did her best to quell the beast that rose up, but eventually it became too much. Morana would find Iradessa deceased in the leaves on the ground, her gaze cold and dead, but sad. Vergil was never seen again.
