Wynchester

## Application Sheet

Wynchester was a smoky-gray she-wolf with dark green eyes. She arrived in Xassa in the midst of the Hive Wars, and, when the wars ended, she left the pack, and Domain. Wynchester was created and RP'd by OceanFreezie.

## Personality

* ***Resilient, Humorous, Optimistic, and Bold.*** Wynchester is a fun-loving wolf with a sharp tongue. While not one to socialize outside of those she is comfortable around, she is fond of cracking jokes and teasing those she is close to. She can be a bit bold with the words she says and does not shy away from saying what is on her mind. She has a positive(yet naive) outlook on the pack and the world and nothing seems too far out of her reach. She is willing to take on any challenge and is willing to do it alone if she has to. She is eager to prove herself to her peers and to her superiors.
* ***Sarcastic, Aloof, Introverted, and Rash.*** Wynchester makes an effort to appear aloof and unapproachable to those that do not know her. This results in a resting scowl on her face, and barbed words to throw people off from attempting to befriend her. She prefers to keep her own company and the company of those she trusts. She uses sarcasm as a sense of humor but also to keep people from approaching her overzealously. Her sharp tongue can cause misunderstandings and make those around her wary of her.
* ***Ignorant, Abrasive, Impulsive, and Suspicious.*** While unintentional, Wynchester has a rough personality and sharp tongue. She is often short and rude to others. While she maintains respect for those in positions that have earned it, she often unintentionally will come off as harsh. She does not show much emotion to strangers and tends to be quite short with others. Wynchester is very suspicious of those she does not know and takes a while to warm up to people. Due to her experiences before her time in the domain, Wynchester is hesitant to trust others and makes them work for it. She is quick to act and doesn't think. If someone lays a challenge before her she will jump for it even if she is ill-suited for the challenge. This has been an issue for her in the past but is a habit she has not managed to shake.

## Pre-Group History

Wynchester spent the majority of her youth in a pack far outside the domain located high in the mountain regions where the snow never melted.  She was born into a higher status above most of her peers, granting her special privileges and treatment from those around her made her childhood a cushiony one, but a crippling one for her development nonetheless.  She grew up entitled, snobbish, and condescending towards her elders because she was Wynchester and she knew everything there was to know about anything. she would often sneer and belittle those that had to work for their status and would often brag about the fact that she scarcely had to lift a paw to do anything, much to the detest of her packmates. The spoiled brat barely scratched the surface.

Despite being coddled most of her life, Wynchester still craved independence and often would go about obtaining it in every wrong way possible, not one for listening to anything anyone had to say because she was raised to think she was exceptional. Her parents tried multiple times to set her straight and fix her attitude, but they all ended in failed attempts to get her to see sense. Her resilience to always be right in her ways outlasted any punishment they dealt, and she learned early on that they never usually meant anything they said if she waited long enough. Her parents however weren't the only ones who were irked by her frequent foul attitude and lack of respect. It was beginning to become a frequent safety issue for the pack as she refused to help in anything she was tasked to do. And this caught the attention of the alpha.

Wynchester was finally given a choice after too many incidents of animosity among her peers. Either she set her act straight and learns some responsibility, or she leaves and never comes back.

In her naive arrogance, Wynchester truly believed that she wasn't in the wrong and was dead set to prove that she wasn't some useless spoiled brat. So she set off on her own on purpose, intent on showing the alpha and her family that she could survive on her own without the useless help of her peers. But what Wynchester did receive after she left the safety of her home was a huge reality slap in the face, and after a week of not being able to find food or shelter, she ran crawling back to her mother to try and weasel her way back in as she always did whenever things didn't go her way.

What she didn't realize however was that in that final act of defiance against the alpha, she had earned herself a permanent banishment to teach her a final less about what her actions will have outstanding consequences. Wynchester was packless and she would have to figure it out quickly if she were to survive on her own for real this time. Feeling betrayed and shocked, she disowned her family and left in a storm of tears wondering what the hell she was supposed to do now. She did the best she could for weeks, but the lack of life skills was taking a massive toll on her. Soon she wouldn't have enough strength left to defend herself or hunt a decent meal, leaving her to starve to death. Finally, decided that she only had one choice.

She'd have to find a new pack if she wanted to survive.

## Group History

It didn't take too long to find one. Wynchester ended up accidentally crossing into the territory of Xassa, meeting a wolf named Mekhit who...didn't want to chase her off? Mekhit offered Wynchester the chance to speak to the alpha about staying in Xassa, which was an offer she couldn't refuse. She got to know a few of her packmates, like Wick, who told her a bit about Xassan culture and pack life. She wondered about the task she would be best suited for. She put her skills to work hunting for her packmates - or, trying to hunt for them. Hunting was tough!

Wynchester hadn't been there for long before Nineveh, the alpha, announced that they were going to war against the Hive, in order to free Fellfang from where they were trapped and starving on their island. Wynchester tried to encourage her packmates, and was eager to defend her new home. Before leaving, though, Wynchester looked to a packmate named Io to help her prep for battle!

The battle took a massive toll on Wynchester. Fighting - having to kill the Hive wolves, as brutish and barbaric as they were - was horrifying. Her combat experience was practically nonexistent, and fighting for her life put enormous strain on her. She would return to Xassa with her packmates, but the trauma would linger long after her wounds healed. Fortunately, she and Solan had managed to work together to keep alive through the battle.

After the Hive was defeated - another strenuous battle that took a toll on Wynchester - she disappeared from Xassa, and hasn't been seen since. Some think she resumed whatever journey she'd been on before the arrival of the Hive caused her to seek refuge with a pack; whatever the case, her packmates wonder what became of her.

## Trivia
