## Application Sheet

Calida was a dusty yellow she-wolf with neon green eyes. Half-sister to Wren, Calida ended up joining the pack of Fellfang, as one of its most critical Hunters. She would vanish from the pack shortly after the end of the Blood Curse plot, and hasn't been seen since. Calida was created and RP'd by MediocrePotato.

## Personality

* ***Loyal and Caring.*** One of Calida's most defining traits is that she is extremely loyal. She would do anything for her loved ones and her pack, even put her own life on the line. She is most loyal to Fellfang for giving her a place to call home and a purpose in life. She is also very caring; she tries her absolute best to make sure that that her pack mates are happy and well taken care of. This is why she enjoys being a hunter; because she loves providing for her pack.
* ***Realistic and Determined.*** Calida is pretty realistic. She doesn't have her head up in the clouds and is very grounded in her way of thinking. She doesn't hope for the impossible to happen or have a naive mind-set like that of a young wolf. Calida is also a very determined she-wolf. When she takes on a goal, it is almost impossible to stop her from trying to achieve it. This characteristic also makes her a great hunter since it fuels her drive.
* ***Stubborn and Forthright.*** The down-side of her being so determined is that she can sometimes be a bit stubborn. Once she picks a side or position, it is very difficult to get her to change her mind. She is also forthright and sometimes even blunt, especially towards an individual she dislikes. Calida will always try to give her honest opinion on everything, even if it's not what the others want to hear. If you are on good terms with her, then she will be as gentle and sensitive with her words as she can. But if you are on her bad side then her words will be like rocks to the face. She won't hold back and won't sugar coat a single thing, she will be brutally honest.

## Pre-Group History

Calida's father, Nix, was the leader of a small wolf pack. Calida's mother, Umbra, was a hunter in Kausen. Prior to meeting Umbra, Nix had another mate and pups in his own pack. While roaming the borders of his pack he ran into Umbra, who explained that she had chased a young buck from Kausen and taken it down in Nix's territory. Rather than being outraged, Nix was actually quite impressed with the she-wolf's hunting ability. They exchanged a few words, which led to some small talk, and eventually a full-fledged conversation. They parted ways and went back to their own packs, but Nix could not get the she-wolf off of his mind. Over the next few days he secretly traveled to Kausen and lingered around their borders, hoping he would run into the dark she-wolf again, and it eventually paid off. For months the two would have these secret meetings, they were madly in love. However, Umbra didn't know that Nix was the alpha of his pack and that he had his own mate and family. When she did figure out the truth, she was furious. She couldn't believe that he would keep such a large secret from her. For days she tried her best to avoid the borders, but all the while she still couldn't stop thinking of him, she loved him... During these days she found out that she was pregnant, and so she gave into her heart's desires and began seeing him again. When she told Nix the news, he was ecstatic. It was his reaction to hearing about Umbra's pregnancy that gave her the peace of mind that she made the right choice in choosing him as a mate. Eventually Umbra gave birth to Nix's pups, Calida and Solis, and Nix decided to join Kausen, but he didn't give up his position as his pack's alpha. He was trying his best to balance his two lives, but in the end he spent more time in Kausen than he did in his own pack.

Calida was a boisterous little pup. It seemed like she had an infinite amount of energy and would continue to go long after her brother burned out. Her and Solis, were inseparable partners in crime, constantly wrestling and causing chaos. They provided their parent and the pack an endless amount of entertainment.

Calida admired both of her parents, and held the same amount of respect for her father when she learned of his other family. Nix would sometimes even take Calida and Solis to meet their half-siblings, Wren and Marik. However Wren and Marik had no knowledge that these two pups were so closely related, they were told that Calida and Solis were their cousins.
However these meetings soon came to an end when a fire swept through Nix's pack's territory. He tried to make sure both of his families were safe, but while he was with Calida's family, his other mate and their newborn pups perished in the fire. He was separated from Wren and Marik and pack disbanded. Nix was devastated, but he was grateful that Umbra, Solis, and Calida were alive and well.
With all of his time now spent in Kausen, Calida's relationship with her father now grew even stronger. The family of four would often take trips around the territory, and it was there that Calida's strong hunting instincts shined. She would constantly stalk and chase rodent, birds, or even a leaf blowing in the wind. Umbra couldn't be happier to see that her daughter had inherited her love of hunting. Nix taught Calida about strength, leadership, and passion, while Umbra taught her about love, caring and loyalty.

When the harsh winter made its way through the territories and brought endless blizzards along with it. Calida and Solis spent most of their day inside their den and this left them restless and itching for any chance to venture outside. One calmer morning the family woke to find that Solis had left the den. Umbra and Nix ordered Calida to stay in the den while they went on a frantic search through the territory to find their missing pup. For the first time in her life, Calida was alone, no mother, no father, no sibling. It was around midday when an unexpected, long and violent blizzard swept through the territory. After it subsided, Calida's pack mates checked through the dens to make sure everyone was alright. They were confused to find Calida all alone and curled up in a corner of the den. She told them of the situation and search party was immediately sent out to find the three wolves. Later that night she heard multiple wolves approach the den and her tail began wagging with joy as she thought her parents and brother were finally back. But she was greeted by Kausen's Alpha Gregor and a she-wolf named Mona. They delivered the heartbreaking news that Solis's body was not found, but Nix and Umbra were found huddled together under a tree, frozen alive... The news put the young pup into a state of shock, she didn't know what do do or say, so she just remained silent. Mona, a Den Mother who was also a good friend of Umbra's and had already spent plenty of time with Calida, took on the role of her caretaker and adoptive mother.

For the first few days Calida didn't say or do much, she mostly just ate and slept. But once the shock wore off and it hit her that she was never going to see her family again, she began to cry, and she wouldn't stop. For months she would cry multiple times a day, sometimes to Mona, but sometimes alone in the territory. Calida became withdrawn and aloof, and she spent most of her time with Mona. Calida loved Mona, especially since she reminded her so much of her mother. But this also reminded her that her mother and father were in fact dead and that she was an orphan.

Life in Kausen became dull and depressive for Calida, and so she began to think about leaving. But at the same time she didn't want to leave Mona. The she-wolf had cared for her so much and held such an important place in Calida's heart. But Kausen held too many painful memories for Calida to bear. During her final day in Kausen, she spent the whole day with Mona. That night, while Mona was asleep, Calida placed a gentle lick on Mona's forehead, silently thanking her for everything she's done. Then she quietly walked out of the den and out of Kausen and started her life as a loner.

It was difficult at first. Tears were shed from the stress of leaving her Mona and her pack and the transition of living on her own. But she quickly became accustomed to it. She enjoyed hunting on her own and taking care of herself without the constant visual reminders of her past life.

It was during this period of her life where Calida met Enzo, another young loner. Enzo played a very important role in Calida's life. He became her best friend, and they even formed a relationship. They hunted together and kept each other company, and their personalities allowed them to get along very well.

But as time went on Calida began to miss pack life, and she decided that it was time to look for a new pack. She hoped that Enzo felt the same way, but unfortunately he did not. They both decided that it was best to go their separate ways, and leave off as good friends rather than bitter ex-mates.

Soon she was on her own again, aimlessly searching for a new pack to call her own. Not having anyone to talk to or rely on took a toll on her. The stress of the situation caused her to have horrible nightmares that kept her from having a proper nights sleep. She couldn't focus and barley had the energy to hunt. She lost more and more weight everyday until she looked like a walking skeleton.

The nightmares had taken such a toll on both her physical and mental state that Calida just wanted to give up. One day while she was aimlessly wandering, she encountered a she-wolf named Polaris, who informed her that she was trespassing onto Fellfang territory. Fellfang... she had heard of the pack from other loners. The pack's previous tyrannical alpha had just been overthrown by his brother. She had heard of the packs now welcoming nature and healing properties, it was the perfect pack. Calida begged for Polaris to allow her to take shelter in and become part of Fellfang. The pack took her in and within a few weeks Calida practically made a full recovery. She gained enough strength to start hunting again, and soon Calida became part of The Hunt. Her hunting skills allowed her to provide for her pack and repay them for saving her life.

Fellfang's has managed to essentially undo the years of trauma and pain Calida has endured. After living with the pack for months, it has healed her heart, mind, and soul, and Calida is finally back to being the confident wolf she once was. For this, she is forever grateful and loyal to Fellfang, the pack that welcomed her with an open heart and gave her a new family.

## Group History

Calida was friendly towards all of her packmates, often working with them on hunts or helping them out when they needed a helping paw. For instance, Nach was attacked by an aggressive badger, and Calida helped to get him back to the Witch-Doctors.

She was also one of the first wolves to welcome Ludko to the pack. She took him on a tour of a few spots, and they shared their reasons for why they had joined the pack in the first place. Ludko would quickly become one of her dearest friends. He helped to comfort her when she had bad nightmares.

Calida and Rutnik were traveling through the Crystal Mountain when they were met by a Scythe from Vektren - Veron. The two of them were able to overpower Veron and send him running back to his pack.

Calida helped Baely when he got stuck in the mud. She'd enjoy hunting with wolves like Ludko, Asgeir, and Atlas. She was a good wolf to check in with for advice, as Rutnik discovered, and an *excellent* friend to cuddle with, as Nach and Ludko would discover.
