## Application Sheet

Mikhail was a blue-gray wolf with turquoise-hued eyes. He was born to Adela in Highvalley, and had many siblings (NPCs) including Kesta, who left the pack to live in Heyl. Mikhail was created and RP'd by florafudou.

## Personality

* ***Tactical and Efficient.*** Physical strength not being his ally at all, Mikhail has learned to use his mind, brains been more important to him than muscle. He is used to planning different strategies for any kind of situation when required and as a hobby, this was useful in the days he had participated in the past war.
* ***Intimidating.*** Maybe his looks do not help him much with this, but the glare he maintains, fierce and challenging eyes makes others remember his position among the pack. His words can be as cold as ice and hit as hard as stone.
* ***Proud.*** Proud of his roots and cunning mind, Mikhail has a very high self-opinion of himself and is not ashamed to show it off at all times.
* ***Honest and Truthful.*** He's self-righteous, for him it is important to do and be who you are at all hours.
* ***Suspicious, Paranoid, and Afraid.*** Having severe trust issues, Mikhail believes that conspiracy is around him and so he can suffer a little of paranoia and can say things out loud when in panic, although he has done his best to prevent showing this trait it may sometimes get out of paw.
* ***Grumpy and Easily Annoyed.*** He himself can become a grumpy wolf very easily, mostly because of unnecessary comments he hears or how wolves may “look” at him.
* ***Polite and Well-mannered.*** Due to his high class education and looks, Mikhail is more of a natural womanizer and gentleman among others, even if he doesn’t notice that his attitude towards females can be dreamy and prince charming and while for the males he can be a really pain in the ass most of the time without him noticing.
* ***Oblivious.*** Even if he is a smarty pants that does not mean he can interpret others feelings or actions correctly, when it comes to social interaction he is clumsy and is due to making questions or wrong assumptions all the time and creating misunderstandings between each other (Even if he does not do it on purpose).
* ***Short-Tempered.*** Mikhail can easily be snapped by almost any unnecessary comment of him or his family (His mother and siblings) And so he will reply to defend himself.
* ***Family-Oriented.*** For Mikhail family always comes first, he is fiercely protective of his mother and siblings, he will not tolerate a single comment or anything done to him without going through him first, he pretty much has taken upon himself the role of his dead father. He is basically a jealous overprotective papa.
* ***Immature and a Mama’s Boy.*** This part of him can be seen rarely, but he is used to pout and make scenes since his childhood (A thing normal in spoiled children, specially from royalty.) Though now he just complains in a way that has no arguments to back him up (Lots of drama) Only his mother can get him to do things right at this point.

## Pre-Group History

The day Mikhail and his siblings were born it was rejoiced with joy by their mother and judge harshly by their father with Mikhail being one of the runts of the five pups. Though life seem darker for the pup, the litter of five only had 2 survivors as Mikhail and his brother struggled to live the first few weeks.

As soon as the pups began to walk their father Cedar started to educate his two remaining sons, but it seemed that for the big brute it was only August the one worth of his time, Mikhail was smaller and didn’t have the same strength as his brother, so the male though that if he was harder on him he could possibly improve.

His methods though was harsh and cruel and when it seemed that the verbal abuse was to become something bigger Adela stepped in, since then she took it upon herself to raise Mikhail as the pup became fearful of his father’s power.

As Mikhail grew he got a natural liking to his mother’s task and teachings, she had so much to offer to the pack, she was necessary and it seemed not everyone was able to see that (Specially his father) but he did! And so he eagerly learned by watching his mother do such things and being very concentrated on her lessons.

Everything seemed fine as the pup reached to his young adult stage, sadly life had other plans, instead of calmness brought war upon Highvalley. He saw the signs of something odd since his teenage phase, still he was very bold and young to say anything and couldn’t even confront his father who seemed to almost vanish as he was more busy serving the Wolvenking Eadric, this secretly bringing relief to his life but also worries as his siblings were in constant danger.

Everyone within the pack had to help somehow during such hard times, and so he became a Meister, strategy being his natural talent back then is when he gain a name thanks to his strategies rate of success and a little recognition from his father (Which he secretly desired for a long time).

Mikhail soon grew more tired and paranoid about everything around him, sure everyone was fighting but nothing was improving either, his mother grew more depressed as he, but both had each other to support themselves and their family, even when the news of his father death and the mayor injuries his brother August suffer.

After the fall of his father Eadric’s one took place and Adela’s mental health was at risk, he stuck by his mother side all the way supporting and grieving with her as he also had lost many wolves close to him. Still things seemed to improve as the new King Rodwen took his rightful place on the throne and so did Mikhail as he desired Highvalley to reborn as it was on his younger years.

Still his youngest siblings disappeared with no explanation, Adela sending her other children to follow them, he also tried to find them, but there wasn’t a single clue and his siblings also couldn’t bring anything useful to find them.

Now with Highvalley being a place of tranquility as it used to be, Mikhail still has plenty to offer for the pack.

## Group History

The first wolf he came across upon his return (worth speaking to) was Quilo. Quilo teased him with a childhood nickname, Miki, and they engaged in friendly banter before Mikhail hurried off to see his mother. It wasn't long after his return that Adela proposed a union between Mikhail and Quilo. Neither were particularly fond of the idea - they were more suited to being best friends, not mates! - but Mikhail begrudgingly agreed that he and Quilo could make it work. Adela was pleased and announced that she would inform the High King of her proposal.

Sometime thereafter, Mikhail stumbled upon Aragon, and after getting startled by the white-furred male's appearance, the two walked back to the main den together. Mikhail invited Aragon to whatever next gathering Adela would be hosting, as it would be good to catch up with his cousin.

Mikhail was caught off-guard when a flood ripped through Highvalley. It swept him away, but he managed to survive the raging current, more determined than ever to get back to his pack and take a task, to earn a title. He wanted to be *important* again, and, he realized, he *wanted* Quilo to be his wife. He would earn the rank to do it, and he prayed that Quilo survived the flood...

Mikhail scoured the territory, and beyond. While beyond the borders, he crossed paths with a familiar dark face - his *brother!* Kesta had heard the news of the flood and came to check on his kin, and Mikhail was delighted to see him. Kesta was relieved to hear Adela was well, and told Mikhail to deliver the message that he was well, and happy, and valued his privacy, but he would return another time, perhaps. Mikhail was saddened to know Kesta would not return to the pack, but he knew, deep down, it wasn't where Kesta wanted to be. He said a fond farewell as Kesta departed, and continued his search for Quilo.

It took a great deal of searching, but Mikhail *finally* found his betrothed...only, she didn't recognize him. She didn't even know who she herself was. Mikhail was troubled by this, but decided that the priority would be to get her back to the main den, to have her injuries tended to. He quickly escorted her home, even though she didn't know where 'home' was.

And then...Mikhail vanished. Nobody knows what became of him, but he vanished from the pack, leaving his mother and Quilo behind, never to be seen again.

## Trivia

* The birth defects he has inherited from Highvalley's inbreeding are narcolepsy (though he doesn't suffer all the symptoms) and arthritis is rife in his bloodline (he will suffer this at an elder stage).
	+ His symptoms include periods of excessive daytime sleepiness, which can last seconds to minutes and may occur at any time, and the inability to move or vivid hallucinations while falling asleep or waking up, which only lasts for a new moments.

## Quotes

* "I just do not know what to say to her or you about it...I thank you for everything and I am thankful that at least is someone I know and can try to improve our relationship, Quilo is like family so I know we can sort of work things out…” (to Adela when she announced her intention to wed him to Quilo, *Thankful*)
