## Application Sheet

Makenna was a brown-and-white she-wolf with lime green eyes. She was born in Heyl, where her Chandorian parents, Dayanara and Navindru, were getting medical treatment, alongside her sisters Mila and Mirakel. Once old enough, the Chandorians returned home. Makenna, however, felt out of place in Chandor and moved to Vektren, where she dedicated herself to the Shunned Ones as a Theta Shade. She was trained under the Lord Nightmare, Damon, before deciding during the Hive Wars to dedicate herself to the ways of the Viper, and becoming a Theta Viper instead, with her familiar, Finnbarr, at her side. Her story is ongoing. Makenna was created and RP'd by SaskedieJagerin.

She has three younger siblings: Ataw, Faucon, and Eustace.

## **Personality**

* ***Efficient, Passionate, and Hardworking.*** Make loves what she does and does it at her best. She doesn’t get bored and she doesn’t leave what she’s doing halfway completed. On the opposite, if she’s tasked with something, she’ll focus on that until she has successfully done it, putting all of herself into it. Usually, nobody is left disappointed of her results, which she is happy of. She’s confident with her own abilities and aims for the best.
* ***Adaptable and Helpful.*** If a new situation or a new challenge comes along, Make doesn’t let herself get caught off guard or stress about it, she’s perfectly capable to handle everything that gets thrown at her or at least, she’ll try her best and always looks forward to new things and situations, also to make new experiences, this is why she’s great to work to the solving of many situation, from the easiest to the crisis ones and is happy to eventually help others who may not be as natural as her to deal with these situations.
* ***Energetic*.** Nothing seems to tire Make, she’s workaholic and always busy to gather as much information as she can about her surroundings, whether that’d be just the environment or even wolves. She has to be forced some rest even though she doesn’t feel tired and she’s still up and going. Her tireless self is contagious, not even the laziest wolf can withstand her bursts of energy without feeling some too!
* ***Overconfident and Naïve.*** Make has a high opinion of herself, even though she’s still young and inexperienced. She thinks of herself as someone able to do everything and, if it was for her, she’d cut times of waiting for doing certain things: what do you mean she’s just a puppy and cannot get around alone? She’s perfectly capable of doing that! What do you mean a day of training isn’t enough for doing things by herself? She trained a day, that is more than enough for one like her!
* ***Quiet, Reserved, and Independent*.** Since her realization of the issue that she was born with, Make had the tendency to not share anything with anyone and to stay in silence. Especially if she is with someone she isn’t fond of, she will act as if the wolf in her company doesn’t exist. She can often be seen doing things alone and refusing any kind of help, she’s perfectly capable to handle things on her own without anyone’s assistance.
* ***Obsessed*.** The thought of finding a cure for her voice and fur, as well as the illnesses of her sisters, has become a real obsession for Makenna and, though nobody is aware of this, she constantly thinks about it and it's her prime goal in life. Having such a secret obsession is all but healthy, especially for something that, sadly, cannot be solved. To reach such impossible goal, Make is ready to do everything in her power and has started seeking supernatural and mystic ways to achieve it, without thinking of the consequences.

## Pre-Group History

After confessing their feelings for one another, Navindru and Dayanara of Chandor wed at last. After a short while, they were blessed with Dayanara’s pregnancy. Things were going smoothly until, due to an accident, Dayanara was poisoned and was ill for the whole gestational period. The pups were born in Heyl where the parents sought for their healers, in need of help. The pups were born alive, but, alas, all with some minor issue…

## Trivia

* Due to Dayanara’s illness during pregnancy, Makenna’s vocal cords didn’t fully develop.
	+ Because of this, Make is able to talk but her voice is raspy and croaky and not very loud, like someone with a bad sore throat that was left almost without voice. It hurts her throat if she tries to speak too much and she often gets a sore throat. Her tail and ears are also shorter than average but this doesn’t seem to bother her as much as the deal with her voice and her fading fur color.
* She also seems never able to reach her proper weight, even though she’s well fed, Make looks a little underweight.
* Despite not having a serious disability (like blindness, a missing limb, etc), Make takes her difficulty of speaking very seriously, she sees it as an injustice and wants to find a way to gain back her proper and real voice and is willing to do anything to achieve this.
* She is fascinated by owls, barn owls in particular, for their ability to fly and hunt without making a sound. She was sad that the Owl Totem didn’t catch her attention because she would have loved that title. Thanks to this interest, Make plans to become as silent as they are when she’s on duty and even generally in life. This she managed to achieve as a Shade in Vektren.
* Sadly, she has no sense of humor and generally doesn’t understand when someone is joking.
* Her favorite seasons are fall and winter, despite these being the seasons were she gets the most sore throats.
* Voice aside, she feels that she was born "incomplete" due to her fur fading into a more softer and lighter color, leaving only 3/4 of her body with solid colors and markings. She gets this idea because none of her parents have this characterization. This is a source of great embarrassment to Make and she often rolls in dust (not mud) to try to get her tail and back legs colored.
* Make doesn't want to say that she was born with such a rusty voice to the point that she deliberately scratches her throat or neck in order to gain a scar that would justify her condition to others. She is however never able to do any deep damage and only get scratches that heal quickly.
* Her voice, the discoloration of part of her fur, Make acts as if it doesn't bother her but it does and a lot. She feels inadequate and out of place, sometimes she even questions her relations with her parents, even if she can see resemblance for the parts where her fur is colored. She has a low self esteem and doesn't seem to enjoy her time because she is always overthinking about her appearance or voice.
* Makenna was voted the **Summer 2020 Character of the Season!**
* Make wears behind her right ear a crow's feather that belonged to Yseult, left behind for her when Yseult left Vektren.
