## Personality

* ***Melancholy.*** Venus has lost many things dear to her in her life and once again, life's kicked her down, though this time it seems like she won't be getting back up anytime soon. Because of this trait, she can sometimes be seen as pessimistic and unwilling to try new things because she's unsure of the outcome which she believes won't be good.
* ***Reclusive.*** After losing so many that were close to her, this once social dog is more accustomed to the life of a loner now. Though she tried the solo act once and it was a disaster; she likes the stability the pack has to offer and while she may have recently joined, she plans on making this her final home.
* ***Proud.*** She might have lost all that's near and dear to her, but that doesn't mean she wants your pity. Sure she'll sulk from time to time, but all in all, those are the times when she wants to be left alone and not seen in a broken state. She's the daughter of an alpha after all! She has every reason to feel proud, though this pride can be quite a vice; sometimes she'll even test the alphas' boundaries.
* ***Strict.*** Venus is probably one of the most law-abiding dogs there is; give her a set of rules and that is how she'll live her life. While she's strict with herself, she's also strict with others, to the point where she'll nag. Justice is an undeniably important thing to her and she rarely believes in cases where there's an exception.
* ***Bossy.*** This goes hand-in-hand with her strict characteristic; she feels others are incompetent so she takes charge whenever things are disorganized. Especially with pups; she's extraordinarily harsher on pups and juveniles than any other in the group.
* ***Caring.*** Venus is said to be the goddess of love, and while that might have held true once in her life, long long ago, it has left since. Life has hardened the wolf's heart, but she's still susceptible to caring and having soft spots for others, especially the youth. Now that she plans on making this her final home, she's more willing to open up to others.
* ***Loyal.*** Like stated above, she plans on spending the rest of her days with this pack, however long that may be, so she's well prepared to lay her life on the line for any of its caring and accepting members. While she doesn't trust loners, she won't question her established alpha's orders if one were to become a member as well, after all, she was given a second chance.
* ***Quick-Thinking.*** She thinks on her feet; almost always the first to act in a situation. There isn't much that shocks her now, after witnessing famine wiping out her birth-pack and seeing her own pups writhing in agony, she just feels numb to what life has in store for her now.

## Pre-Group History

Venus was born in a well-off traditional pack and started life off rather good considering her parents were alphas. She was loved which she returned, being the gentle flower she was, and by the time she was old enough to have a mate, suitors lined up outside her den. Life was all fun and games, until the size of the pack became its downfall. Famine struck, as well as mutiny and what was once and strong and proud pack soon became a band of disowned loners. She and her lover at the time ran off on their own to start their own pack, however he too was soon killed by a rather aggressive loner. Later that year, she had both males' pups and regardless of whom the fathers were, she loved all three. They were her very life and she cared for them dearly, however this inexperienced mother had no one to watch them when she needed to get food or water, so the worst thing possible happened. It was a sunny day when she carried her pups to a new den, where she left for only a moment to quench her thirst and when she returned, she came back to see her babies had been killed by a venomous snake. Heartbroken and angry, she snapped it up in her jaws, but not before it pierced her snout and left horrid scars that will forever remind her of that day. Of course the venom made her sick for days on end, but eventually she pulled through, though now she had no purpose for living. She had become a wanderer essentially, never staying in places for long until she wandered into this kind community. Of course she didn't tell them of her past, but knowing they would give her a second chance gave her hope that one day she can put all of this behind her.

## Group History

Upon her arrival, Venus was quick to befriend one of the pack's pups: Tamarack! The two of them went to a sunflower field and had an enjoyable time with one another. She also met Skye - the pair of females discussed males and romance, agreeing that a lot of males could be *clueless*. Skye told Venus that there were plenty of males in the Domain, she just had to find one to treat her well: *that* was the hard part!

She would help to save a young pup named Kha'an, who was to be raised by adoptive Chandor parents Willow and Odysseus. She came to dislike the 'brute' Odysseus, who attacked her for having the pup, not realizing she'd saved him.

After this, however, Venus vanished from the Domain, and has never been seen again.

## Trivia

* She'd had previous mates, but only one of these relationships was serious, and all of the pups she bore previously were killed.
* She wears a sprig of hyacinth behind her ear.
* She has a snakebite scar on her muzzle - a reminder of the day she lost her children to the reptile.

## Quotes

* "I hear you [that males can be dumb]; sometimes some of them really just need a good whack to get them actually thinking for once!" (to Skye, *Venus Meets Skye*)
