Yara

## Application Sheet

Yara was a cream-colored she-wolf with warm brown markings and steel-blue eyes. She came to the Domain with her pack, Hintertomb, where she lived for a brief time before departing the Domain. Yara was designed by Tazihound, and created and RP'd by Renzaele.

## Personality

* ***Emotional and Impulsive.*** Deep feeling, Yara goes through life with great connection to her emotions, but it isn’t always for the best. Yara walks with an open heart, spirited and blazing in the things she does. Her intentions come from a good place, but sometimes the profoundness of Yara's feelings can get the best of her. She can be reckless and impulsive, giving little forethought to actions driven by her heart.
* ***Protective but Insecure.*** Yara is also defensive and protective over herself and others. If you shove her, she won’t hesitate to shove right back. intolerable of ill-will, Yara isn’t afraid to come off harsh to those who disrespect her and those that matter to her. Yet, she isn’t as tough as she’d like to seem. When it comes to those Yara does care about, she can be insecure. Yara carries with her a deep desire to belong, but she doubts whether or not she is good enough to find meaningful connections with others, and her fear of messing up will often hold her back if she feels the stakes are high enough.
* ***Perceptive, Curious, and Seeking Purpose.*** Yara is also a deeply curious and perceptive creature. She is desirous of knowledge and understanding. The world is frightening, but Yara can’t help but find the beauties life has to offer as well. She yearns for purpose and meaning, and it is often a driving force for many aspects of Yara’s life.

## Pre-Group History

There was little Yara remembered of her mother, but when she heard where her mother had come from before Yara’s birth, and where she had since gone after, Yara never forgot.

Hintertomb, they had said. A word spoken from hushed tongues near a child thought sleeping. It was a fascinating name. A memorable one. It drummed alongside the child’s beating heart.

It was not often she learned secrets.

As Yara grew, she came to understand the reasons why her mother left. According to the others, she simply hadn’t been ready to raise Yara, and instead chose to leave her daughter in the care of her companions to return to the life of a pack wolf. To a fresh start.

The wolves around Yara encouraged her to let it go; to move on. That this was the way it was meant to be, and there was no point in dreaming that things could’ve been any different. And begrudgingly, she listened. For a time.

But Yara grew restless amongst the mountain wanderers. The group was content to roam the lands–simply appreciating life, day to day. But Yara? Yara yearned for more.

Surely, there had to be more.

Yara considered her mother. Would she accept her now that she was older? Could she herself become a follower of Hintertomb?  Many questions brewed, but she had to try. So, by winter’s end, Yara mustered up her courage and said her goodbyes to the mountain wanderers to set off in search of her mother’s homeland. She joined a few straggler groups along the way, slowly gathering information as she made her journey. She learned from one loner that a wolf of Hintertomb had been fleeing the pack due to a natural accident of some sort. The news put Yara on edge, but it was enough to set her paws on the right track in finding the wolves of the Tomb.

Early spring, Yara picked up their trail and found them. They too were traveling, away from a home of ruin and towards one anew. It was only then did Yara learn the true disaster of what the pack called The Southpoint Collapse. Many lives were lost, including her mother’s. Her quiet fear had come true, and gone were the wistful dreams of the young wolf. She felt… Lost.

But Yara wished to stay with Hintertomb. There was a mystery about them she felt drawn to. Perhaps there was meaning here. Perhaps there was purpose. Perhaps in them, she could find a home.

## Group History

Her time in Hintertomb was brief. Overcome by grief for her mother, Evelyn, she tried to find solace in a pet rock and chatting with packmates, but ultimately left almost as suddenly as she arrived.
