Atropos

## Application Sheet

Atropos was a gray-and-brown she-wolf with dark mahogany eyes. She lived in the Domain as a loner before ultimately searching for a life elsewhere. Atropos was created and RP'd by CoffeeHunter.

## Personality

* ***Aggressive***. Downright vicious, even. Her aggression is on a hair trigger. She'll fly at someone tooth first for the slightest of things, even if the other hadn't done anything to truly deserve it. They could simply be eating from a carcass that she decides she wants, or maybe they said something she doesn't like. In her eyes, fighting is the answer to everything.
* ***Hateful and Bitter.*** Atropos grew up in a background full of rejection and punishments. The results are less than desirable, making for a hateful and bitter she-wolf that only sees the world and those in it as nothing but cruel enemies.
* ***Cold***. Don't expect to be able to make friends with this lady, or to be able to get close to her at all. She sees everyone as competition or just simply being in her way so actually managing the feat of getting on her good side..wherever that is..is quite an accomplishment.
* ***Anti-social.*** Unusual for a wolf, yes, but being the product of her environment has made her hate everyone. She sees no use in gathering with anyone who will only hurt her. It's far easier, emotionally, to live alone.
* ***Mentally Unstable.*** Not much needs to be said on why. She's quite sure everyone else is against her, and if they are a nice individual..well..they're only trying to play her. She doesn't believe good intentions exist, and if she feels even the slightest bit threatened..watch out.
* ***Hurting***. Deep down, way far in the reaches of the depths of her soul, Atropos is in pain. All she ever wanted was to be loved, accepted, wanted, needed. However, she has pushed this feeling into the deep recesses of her being as she grew to realize these things do not exist for her.

## Pre-Group History

Atropos was born into an aggressive family pack ran by her grandmother, Solveig, and grandfather, Miles. They lived by the rule 'fight for what you want'. Her parents were only attentive enough to ensure her survival. Atropos was an outcast among the other pups in the pack, the 'loser' so to say, as she was the only one without siblings and the youngest of the pups born around the same time. Though she tried time and again to make friends, each attempt was met with more rejection and bullying. So, being alone..rejected..basically ignored by her parents..the pup began to act out. Stealing food, wandering off, getting into general mischief. These acts only caused more problems as she was punished with nips, shoves, tosses and head butts that sent her tumbling. With each punishment, her ears rang with the giggles and laughter of the other pups which only furthered the fury of the youngster. Her outbursts became worse as she began lashing out at everyone, even younger pups, and started instigating fights.

Her punishments for her actions started to become more severe as she grew older. Nips became bites. Shoves became getting her face ground into the dirt as she was set upon by whoever first got to her, and her tosses became hard shakes as she was grabbed by the looser skin on her neck and jerked back and forth violently like a mere toy. It only fueled the fire more, all of it being a vicious circle, until the day she decided it was not worth it. Atropos began to isolate herself. Refusing to socialize, refusing to help and refusing to pull her weight. Why do something for those who'd never done her any favors? So she would hunt for herself, sleep by herself, and if she hadn't had enough to eat she would fight to take from the others. Of course, as you could imagine, everyone had had enough by this point. Though her grandmother knew the feeling of being ignored and isolated, for that is why her and her mate had split off from their old pack to forge a life of their own, she did not approve of Atropos' actions..especially the refusal to pull her weight. So after a thorough thrashing she demoted her granddaughter to Omega.

This demotion in rank only made things ever so worse. As an Omega, she was the punching bag of the pack. When she wasn't being used as stress relief by the others she was forced to keep eye over their pups. The pups of some of the very wolves that had bullied her and made her child life difficult in the beginning. It was a bitter feeling, and she began to become even more short tempered if that was even possible. Atropos would attack others with little to no provocation...merely out of hate most of the time. In the end, it all came to a head. Revenge glinted in Atropos's eyes as she was watching over some puppies one morning. Their lives were snuffed out quickly, their bodies consumed just as quick. Atropos found joy, in fact found herself downright gleeful, to have done what she just had done. The female left the heads of the pups in a row for their parents to find when they returned before making her hasty get away. As the female's paws glided over the terrain and took her out of the territory her ears cocked back as the furious and heartbroken wails of her antagonizers echoed across the lands.

## Group History

Ultimately, Atropos didn't linger long in the Domain. She crossed paths with the white loner Oruz, and each of them were equally grumpy. Oruz taunted and mocked her for a time, before he left. After this interaction, Atropos vanished from the Domain (though likely not as a result of Oruz - she was more than a match for him in terms of grumpiness!).

## Trivia

* As a pup, after receiving one of her whoopin's from her behavior, Atropos ran off into the depths of the wooded territory to be alone and sulk. Out there, she found a target to release her anger on..a young coyote only a little older than herself. She attacked the canine, but after only a few minutes she discovered that she had bitten off more than she could chew and found herself on the losing end of things. Pinned beneath the young coyote, with him snapping and biting furiously, the female wolf tried to retaliate from her disadvantaged position to little avail. One could imagine her surprise when a dark furred figure flew in from the side and ripped the coyote from her. Atropos quickly got to her paws to see a young male wolf, about her age, going at it with the coyote and without a second thought she jumped into the fray. The pups made quick work of the enemy, managing to cripple it before the two proceeded to torture the coyote pup..making its death slow and inexplicably painful. A friendship formed, and often the two would meet up in secret to devastate the life of some small creature or another as they vented angers and frustrations. In time, however, Atropos saw less and less of her wolven friend until finally he stopped visiting all together. She will never forget his name. Diedrick.
