Tadita

## Application Sheet

Tadita was an orange-furred she-wolf with dark brown eyes. Originally a part of Chandor, Tadita would migrate to Fellfang, where she took on the task of a Sage and built a family with her mate, Nach. They had four pups: Valkyrie, Cacao, Hajlmar, and Isabel. Tadita would also become a mother-figure to several other wolves, considering herself the pack mom. She always had a fondness for her firstborn daughter, though, who was separated from her so young: Nayeli. The two keep in touch, and her story is ongoing. Tadita was created and RP'd by EternalHusky.

## Personality

* ***Cheerful, Adventurous, and Friendly.*** Tadita is a very cheerful girl, she seems to always have a smile on her face and something nice to say to others. She finds no better enjoyment than to see everyone happy. She also has a very high drive for exploring new places and seeing different faces, so its not uncommon to find her roaming about the territory at times. She is quite the friendly and open type, always greeting others respectfully and making sure they are content. She loves to make new friends and tries to interact with everything that crosses her path. She's also always willing to help anyone whom might need it.
* ***Gossipy, but Loyal and Motherly.*** If Tadita doesn't have a story to tell, she will make one up on the spot, even if it’s about someone else in the pack. She will bend the story to her liking and share it with others. This is something she's losing grasp on. She is fairly loyal, and won’t betray the ones she loves, or her pack in general (Other than her gossiping) she is will do as she's asked usually without question. She also has a bit of a motherly side and loves puppies, she also enjoys telling them stories and generally interacting with them. deep down she wants to mother another young, even if its not her own, she feels the need to mother her friends and tries to keep them healthy and comfortable before herself.
* ***Secretive and Reserved.*** There are some things Tadita just won't tell you, or wont let on that she knows. She just feels that there's no need for you to know that fact about her. She even will go to the lengths to lie about it so no one worries, She'd rather see others happy than herself. Tadita understands that she needs to stop gossiping about others, it's a bad habit of hers. So to combat this she puts on a "mask" of being a bit reserved and quiet, but underneath this she really wants to talk, so don't be afraid to chat with her. Slowly Tadita is growing more and more reserved, she's beginning to hide in her own mind, refusing to tell anyone anything.
* ***Depressed and Dependent.*** Despite her friendly nature, Tadita has moments when she becomes rather depressed, things in the past that's happened just all catch up to her. Old memories and mistakes that she's made. She's calming down over time as she's now able to confide her thoughts into someone she trusts more, it doesn't weight as heavily onto her as it did before. She still misses Nayeli, and blames herself for being selfish and immature for abandoning her daughter. Tadita has always been dependent on others, for the majority of her life she's had someone to act as her rock and anchor to keep her grounded, keep her mental state at bay. She doesn't quite have that anymore and she's really struggling to figure out how to do it all by herself.
* ***Selfless.*** Tadita is very selfless, she'd rather see other's happy than herself and does things to please others at the expense of her own happiness. She needs to be reminded that happiness should be shared amongst herself too.

## Pre-Group History

Tadita was the only female in the pile of three other warm, squirming puppies, her mother was a bit inexperienced, but they all where safe and healthy. The small family where traveling nomads though, they couldn't stay in one place for long. So despite the hard choice, the new mother had to choose one pup, that one being Tadita. The little tawny furred pup seemed the strongest out of the four, the others small and weak. Her parents had to move fast in order to not intrude in other packs territories. But despite being nomads, Tadita had been able to learn her fair share of stories from other loners, along with her mother and father sharing tales with her about the lands they've seen before she had been born. She had been heavily socialized with other wolves throughout her childhood. She was happy, and was getting used to being the center of attention...but that soon changed.

This comfortable life  that she was growing used to was soon taken away, when her mother had given birth to a second litter; seeing that the attention she was receiving was slowly diminishing with the arrival of the pups Tadita decided it was time for her to leave. Late at night she wished them goodbye as they slumbered and wandered off on her own, thinking she'd be able to live by herself as a newly aged young adult. Spending time as a loner for a few months had made her realize she wasn't fit for the sedentary life. But not all was perfect for Tadita, being out by herself, she was a yearling alone out in the unforgiving wilderness. She constantly was on the move running away from other loners, or even occasionally dispersal's looking for a fling. All of this stress and anxiety had caused her to grow ill, there where times where she'd just lay in the snow for hours due to the pain of starvation and the threat of frostbite.

But as she laid there, another fellow loner has approached, offering to take her in and help nurse her back to health. Tadita was afraid and tired of being chased. So the sickly female followed him to a safe spot where he helped keep her fed and warm for a short period of time when she started to trust him. But that trust quickly dissipated as the male, whom went by the name of Honan, quickly changed. He abused her, and eventually forced himself onto her before leaving the shaken and distraught Tadita in the den pregnant and afraid. With no other choice Tadita joined a pack, Spokane. It was a pretty quiet and friendly pack whom accepted the nervous mother-to-be, and not soon after Nayeli was born. Tadita was at first afraid, but eventually was happier than she ever could have thought of being at the newborn pup, she was a mother...

Eventually she even got close to a female named Gladiatrix, becoming mates with her and the two females began to raise Nayeli themselves like a family.

But not four months after the two got together, Gladiatrix was murdered and Tadita and Nayeli where taken hostage at Zhawan and where forced to watch her packmates fight among themselves for the packs entertainment until they where rescued by another allied pack. Tadita had enough, she couldn't live like this in this environment, It was time for her to leave... she brought Nayeli to the border of Nawayee to be raised by her friend while Tadita took off to restart her life. She felt selfish, but it was for the best if she wanted Nayeli to survive.

It wasn't too long until the sick and disoriented Tadita had made her way into the territory of Chandor, being taken in by Nadia.

## Group History

Tadita was brought to her new home by Nadia. She was ill, and it took her quite a while to recover. While in recovery, she was visited by some new packmates, including young Rhys and (friend to everyone) Navindru! She attended Nav's wedding to Dayanara, and offered him congratulations, though internally, she was bitter that her own life had fallen apart.

Still, slowly but surely, Tadita was healing, putting on a bit of weight and recovering strength. She even joined her packmates welcoming a newcomer named Renyk. She quailed when he retorted at a comment she made (that he didn't have to be scared of them). She wasn't alone in the welcoming party, of course - Mechka and Arcuza, the Bear Totems; Kaen, Malachi, and Rhys were also there. And Nadia, naturally. Renyk didn't strike her as very friendly.

She would become *very* angry at Renyk, though, when Dayanara accidentally ingested a poison, being distracted by Renyk. She was pregnant, and terrified for not only her own life, but her pups - she was *pregnant.* Nayeli watched as Navindru and Dayanara rushed to Heyl for aid, and Tadi fell into a silent rage at Renyk. How *dare* he touch what he shouldn't, distract and accidentally poison their *only* healer? Some of her own experiences with sickness and pups colored her opinion of the event, but she began to keep her distance from her packmates. She didn't trust *any* of them anymore.

She confronted Renyk in a rage, and Renyk defended himself fiercely, saying it would be Daya's fault if the pups were lost - he didn't *make her* swallow the herbs. If he wanted to kill someone, he said, he'd just rip their throats out. Arcuza approached, on Tadi's side, and others - Rhys and Nadia - eventually became involved. Nadia managed to smooth things over, for a time, at least, as Tadita crumbled in grief and frustration.

After this incident, Tadita grew a bit closer to Arcuza. Arcuza seemed to understand Tadi, so she appreciated the multicolored wolf's friendship. But...the more she thought about how she'd accused Renyk of attempted murder, the more she found herself feeling as though she couldn't stay in Chandor. She needed a new start. Tadita left the pack, wandering for a short time before arriving at the border of Fellfang. She was ill, disoriented, and emaciated once again - leaving Chandor before her recovery was complete, and living as a loner for a short time, had reversed much of her progress. She was spotted by a Fellfangir named Nach, who she tried to flee from, but she tripped. He assured Tadita he meant her no harm, and in Fellfang, she could get help. She had no choice but to trust him.

Nach took her to Jarl Fable and Lady Polaris. A difficult time in Fellfang had just ended, and a peaceful period had been ushered in, with the birth of the alpha pair's four pups. They were willing to extend some kindness to the sickly Tadita. Tadita found their puppies *adorable*: Lincoln, Saga, Yael, and Asteria. She *loved* puppies, and lamented that she wouldn't have a chance to see Dayanara's...if they survived. She hadn't stuck around long enough to find out.

As she slowly began recovery once again, Tadita began to learn a bit about the culture and territory of Fellfang from wolves like Temperance and Ludko. Nach was at her side most of the time, taking her around the land, showing her key landmarks, and providing a shoulder to cry on. Tadita credited him with saving her life, and the two became fast friends. She also took under her care an older pup - nearly juvenile - named Doba. She adopted her as Bond-Daughter.

Tadita would make another close friend as well - Myghchaell. With him and Nach at her side, recovery moved along steadily. Her recovery as also aided by the small hot springs in the territory.

Tadi enjoyed spending time with the pack's pups, taking young Lincoln out with her on a mission to collect seashells. She'd meet Ian and they would discuss some problems they were having, a lot of thoughts on their minds. Most of the time, though, she was with Nach and Myghchaell. They enjoyed swimming in peaceful pools, hanging out with one another, and just relaxing.

After learning a bit more about the pack's culture and history from Polaris, Tadita decided to become a Sage. She would be able to offer help and guidance to her packmates.

During Ondmuna, Tadita accidentally overindulged in some fermented fruit, and Nach quickly ushered her away to lie down, before she got sick. She passed out, asleep, pretty fast, but she woke up feeling the effects of her overindulgence.

Time was passing swiftly in Fellfang. Tadita's little friend Lincoln had grown into a young adult, a successful hunter, and Tadita offered to join him on hunts from time to time. He worried about her physical state, but she was well enough to join him hunting. She also enjoyed picking berries off bushes to snack on - and eventually, her weight was back to a healthy amount. She grew in confidence in Fellfang, feeling comfortable enough to enjoy meals.

With this confidence came a realization that Tadita had feelings for Nach. The two of them spent increasing amounts of time together, snuggling side by side in the night, as winter's chill moved in. This would be put to the side, however, when an unexpected wolf showed up: Nayeli!

Nayeli had come to visit for Julentide, but the encounter between her and Tadita wasn't friendly. Nayeli demanded to know why her mother abandoned her, and Tadita had worked so hard to put these things behind her. After an intense discussion, the two reconciled (or, rather, began the process of reconciliation - it was still too raw for Nayeli to forgive Tadita fully) and went to join the festivities. Saddened by Nayeli, though, she would leave the party and spend time moping with Vojin.

Nayeli left, and Tadita was alone again. She met a young she-wolf at the border named Shiantara, and offered to introduce her to Jarl Fable. Tadita was very kind to the newcomer, and would later teach her how to be a Sage! She also continued to give guidance to packmates like Ian.

She met new packmates who arrived with the spring thaw, like a very unamused Gustave, and got to know her fellow Sage Sheru! And, much to her surprise, Nayeli returned, announcing that she was joining Fellfang and giving her mom a second chance to be, well, her mom.

And things with Nach became official, after he asked Nayeli's permission to ask Tadita to become his mate. She was afraid, at first, often mentally comparing him to Honan (or, rather, comparing how much he was *unlike* Honan), but gradually let herself love him. He taught her how to hunt more efficiently, and was a patient teacher - even when Tadita quailed in the presence of the massive buck.

Shortly after the hunting incident, Tadita became pregnant. The Witch-Doctor Grendel confirmed it. She was terrified, worried that Nach would become like Honan, or be outraged if she didn't have sons - and he was so big, what if the pups were too big for her to handle? She was so stressed. But, of course, she had nothing to worry about - Nach was a softie and he loved her. And if he didn't, Myghchaell would be there to protect her! Tadita then approached Polaris, both to tell her of her pregnancy, and to ask if she had any advice on motherhood. She also approached Grendel for herbs to strengthen the little lives in her womb, and offered him some advice about his own little child, Loreley.

Tadita tried involving Nayeli in the pregnancy, getting her used to the idea of being a big sister. Nayeli hoped her mother would be a better mom to her new siblings, and was a bit upset about the whole affair. Tadi did her best to help Nayeli understand that she wasn't *replacing* her eldest daughter. The four pups were born in the early, warm days of summer. Tadita was overjoyed, and she named them Cacao, Valkyrie, Isabel, and Hajlmar.

And they were perfect.

*Everyone* seemed excited about the pups - her apprentice Shiantara, her best friend Myghchaell, a wolf she'd come to consider Bond-Son Ian, even Nayeli felt some affection when her siblings appeared! Gustave, on the other hand, was *very* surprised!

Lincoln approached Tadita while she was stretching her legs, away from the pups, to ask her to train him to be a Sage. Naturally, Tadita agreed! However, they hadn't started their training when Lincoln went away on a mission with Gustave, Shiantara, and Ludko. She decided she'd train him when he got back - it was an important mission after all! Plus, she had her pups to take care of. They were growing so fast!

Tadi made time for each of her children, and young Cacao was very close to her. The two wolves were on a walk when they ran into Khalua! After a brief conversation, they continued on. She'd approach Khalua later, and the two shared their troubled pasts, away from the prying ears of her children. She also got to know Valera, after helping the Vanguard with some porcupine quills she'd been struck with.

The pups grew into young adults. They started taking tasks. And Tadita herself was growing older. She proposed having a second litter with Nach...but it was not to be. They had other things to deal with. Tadita began working herself harder and harder, desperate to prove herself to her pack. She was *more* than just a mom - she was a *Sage*, and a good one, too! She was determined, but she began working herself to utter exhaustion and not eating as well as she should.

Nach demanded that she rest, and she begrudgingly obeyed, feeling terrible as Cacao brought her extra portions of food and tended to her with herbs. She also asked for help from the newest Witch-Doctor, Soulstorm, who was less sympathetic with Tadita's constant working herself to the bone. She would feel even worse when Nayeli told her she was leaving, to find a new home, in Xassa. Nayeli explained it had nothing to do with Tadi, it was just...she wanted to find a place to make her own life. Still, Tadita was devastated to lose her eldest daughter.

Slowly, though, she pulled herself together. For the sake of the rest of her family. She would go hunting for her favorite berries, and on one of these occasions, she met Nysien of Damasca. She was curious about what he wanted, but ultimately, they parted ways, leaving Tadita puzzled and suspicious.

Everything seemed to fall apart at once. Polaris fell gravely ill, and Fable and Yael took her out of the Domain, to find herbs that would save her, and little Lincoln - who'd scarcely started his training as a Sage! - was appointed as the Jarl of Fellfang. Tadita tried to comfort him in the loss of his parents and siblings (Saga and Asteria had left, too, separate from their parents), but she was grieving too. She sought comfort in her family.

Lincoln was a good Jarl, and Tadita gave him her full support. Eventually, the pain of losing the previous Jarls dimmed, knowing they were okay, wherever they were. And Tadita met new wolves, like little Dublin, a juvenile who'd wound up in the pack. She spent a lot more time talking to Khalua, *and* she received rather pleasant news from afar - Nayeli had found a boyfriend, Odin, who wanted Tadita's blessing to wed her! Tadi was delighted!

A lovely summer turned to autumn, and then the coldest winter the Domain had ever seen. The Deep Freeze meant that wolves had to share responsibilities for tasks, and Tadita was searching for herbs when she got lost in a blizzard. Once the storm subsided, she marveled at how much snow there was

Nach was growing increasingly worried about his sister, Sionn, and told Tadita he *had* to go find her. She was heartbroken, but he was resolute, reassuring her how much he loved her before he and Hajlmar set off. Tadita spiraled into depression, and Cacao tried to keep her spirits up, but it didn't do much good. Doba, too, tried to encourage her Bond-Mother...but to no avail. She was *shattered.*

It hurt even more when Isabel left, too, without a word.

She struggled with her feelings for several months. She wondered if she was the one to blame for him leaving, if her proposal of having another litter had scared him away, or her overworking herself made her...unloveable. She shuddered at the idea. Lost in her thoughts, and sobbing, she was approached by a tiny field mouse, who asked the heartbroken wolf why she was crying. This was Clover, and she offered to remain with Tadita was a new friend when Tadi offered to feed and shelter her.

Gustave, also, offered some comfort to Tadita, taking note of how she was struggling. Bjorn, too, offered comfort. Clover was a voice of wisdom and reassurance for Tadi as she came to terms with Nach's departure, and the encroaching threat of strange white wolves. These were the Hive.

Time passed. The Hive threat grew ever closer, but Tadita gradually moved past Nach's departure to focus on her packmates and her duties as both a mother and a Sage. She gave Ezekiel a lesson in being a Sage, but he wasn't interested in making that his official task.

More excitingly, Doba had news for Tadi: she was going to be mates with Sheru! What's more, she got word that Nayeli had four pups - Tadita's first grandchildren - Rose, Nebula, Vivien, and Charlotte! The good news didn't mean the Hive was any less of a threat, though. Tadita confided in Kaiba that she feared the young would imagine the world was always this dangerous.

The Hive pressed even closer on Fellfang's borders. Tadita was tired of feeling like a victim, and she asked her son Cacao to teach her how to fight. He agreed, but was worried he'd hurt her, so he was careful.

This lesson wasn't enough, though. Tadita was attacked by one of the Hive wolves while out one night gathering herbs with Myghchaell and Cacao. In panic, she thought the wolf was Honan, back to finish what he'd started. Fortunately, her companions found her and Myghchaell killed the Hive wolf before it did more than savage her front leg and neck.

She felt useless, again, as she was cooped up to heal. Valkyrie was angry at her, Cacao was constantly fretting, and Nach was still *gone.* She constantly found herself thinking how much she missed him, how he'd been her rock. But as she recovered, she realized the only way to move forward...was to let Nach go. And so, she did her best to do just that.

Her packmates cared for her, though, and Kaiba and Lokki even brought her breakfast in bed! On top of that, Doba had four pups, and Tadita was a 'grandma' once again (a Bond-Grandma!).

Moving forward was difficult, but she would do it. She had a new apprentice, now that Shiantara had ranked up. Little Qassiel, son of the newest wolves to join Fellfang, was ready to become a Sage, and Tadi was all too happy to teach him. She also started group meditation, with Kaiba, Ian, Kekoa, and little Cordelia!

HER STORY GOES ON.
