Loreley

## Application Sheet

Loreley was a dark brown, nearly black, she-wolf with lighter brown markings and golden eyes. She was adopted by Fellfang Aldinwitch Grendel, named for his lost love Lore, and was deeply devoted to her adoptive father. She was designed by Ramala, created and RP'd by DodgerMD.

## Personality

* ***Indomitable, Daring, and Independent.*** Loreley is a wild and indomitable young wolf, who will go her own way and find her own solutions to problems. She's not afraid to ask for help, but she will always try to find her very own way to approach an issue first and only ask for assistance, if she truly finds herself either not strong or educated enough - she however will also always take such opportunities to learn something new and try her best to next time faced by a similar issue, she won't no longer need any help anymore.
* ***Adventurous, but Smart and Studious.*** Adventurous and independent she loves to discover the world and learn everything she can. She is very interested in the arts of the Witch Doctors, but also will gladly listen to hunting strategies or stories about their people. She especially enjoys Grendel telling her about a she-wolf named Lore, whose spirit saved her from starving all by herself and who to little Loreley was probably the most powerful and impressive she-wolf ever! She very much aspires to maybe one day become quite as legendary as her!
* ***Kind.*** Loreley also is a kind and giving soul, she loves his family and her pack and gladly shares whatever she has. She only knows the "Dark Times" from hushed tales that she knows pups might not be supposed to hear, but when she does hear them, she knows the times were horrible and that she's determined to never ever let something like that happen again!

## Pre-Group History

Loreley's mother was a loner, her siblings and her never knew her father, but her mother only spoke well of him. She told them he had been a kind wolf and wise. They had enjoyed their time together, but he wanted to be part of a pack and their mother rather wanted to stay free, so eventually they separated - Loreley's mother not yet aware then she as actually pregnant.

She was an experienced wolf however and cared well for her three pups, despite the hardships of living without a pack the three pups growing strong and healthy. That is, until one day their mother left them in a make-shift den, as they needed to move to hunt and couldn't keep a real den, and while she was away hunting a hungry bear came across the little pups. They retreated deep into their little shelter, yet there was no escape! They screamed for their mother, but the bear came closer and closer, it's huge claw grabbing Loreley's siblings and simply dragging them out and killing it, like it was nothing. Just when it was about to be able to get a hold of Loreley, who had pressed herself into the very last corner of the den, her mother arrived and attacked the bear!

The she-wolf fought like a true warrior queen, yet the bear was too strong for a single wolf to defeat and it was obviously too hungry to give up on it's last snack. Loreley watched horrified, when her mother, thrown around like a ragdoll and bloodied like a piece of prey looked her way and said: "Run! Run to the waters!" and that's what Loreley did.

The little pup ran and ran until she no longer could run. She was tired, hungry and weak by the time she collapsed near the river she had been following. It was then Loreley heard a voice - a she-wolf - who spoke gently to her and told her to hold on, rescue was on the way. Loreley felt soothed by the voice as she slowly drifted away into exhaustion. The next thing she remembered was waking up in a cozy den smelling like herbs with a wolf wrapped around her. She first was confused, but something told her that he was what the voice of the she-wolf had spoken about. He had come to rescue her. He had been her guardian spirit.

The wolf, Grendel, adopted Loreley and so did his pack, the little she-wolf growing up as a part of Fellfang. She can't quite remember yet what happened before the voice of the she-wolf and Grendel finding her, obviously her mind having locked away the trauma of losing her mother and siblings.

## Group History

Grendel taught his daughter about Fellfang, and the spirits that lived all around them, particularly Lore - her namesake. She adored her father, and often accompanied him on his duties, including checking up on Tadita when she was pregnant with Nach's pups. Loreley was very eager for the new pups to arrive! Once they were born, Loreley enjoyed playing with them: Isabel, Cacao, Valkyrie, and Hajlmar were the wolves closest in age to her, after all!

Of course, even though she aspired to be an "Adventurer" (or, perhaps, a member of the Hunt), she learned a bit from her father about healing. When Saga came to Grendel's den, seeking advice from the Aldinwitch, Loreley gave him some advice on dealing with "bad poops" (which he didn't have) and bad thoughts (which he did have). She promised to keep Saga's worries a secret.

As she grew a little older, Loreley started learning how to hunt for herself, and was exceedingly proud of the first prey she caught herself! She also grew particularly close to Valkyrie. For a time, the pair were inseparable, the very best of friends, going on adventures and causing mischief in the territory. But her *very* best friend was her beloved father Grendel.

When Grendel felt moved to leave the pack, Loreley knew she had to go with him. Neither he nor Loreley have been seen in the Domain since.

## Trivia

* Loreley has memory loss due to the trauma of losing her mother and siblings in the bear attack. She can't remember anything that happened before she heard the voice of Lore's spirit and woke up in Grendel's den. Sometimes she has weird dreams, but doesn't know what they mean yet.
* She has a stunning singing voice.
