## Application Sheet

## Personality

* ***Strategic and Persuasive.*** Fume may have a light and thin frame, but don't let that fool you, this is possibly the most manipulative, persuasive, and strategic female to roam these lands. If there is a problematic situation, Fume will do her best to twist and turn it so it ends the way she wants it to end. Not only does she excel at this, her methods of persuasion have given excellent results. She is determined to get her answers whenever she needs them.
* ***Perceptive.*** Aside from this, she is excellent at reading others. She can pick up in slight changes of one's behavior if someone is lying to her, a simple shift in stance, casting their eyes to the ground, or even the slightest fluctuation in their voice. If she even has the slightest thought that you are lying to her, she will pick you apart bit by bit until she finds out the truth.
* ***Self-Assured, but Lenient With Others.***Despite the small possibility of change, as Fume has a, indirect strong hold over herself and others. Given her cut throat attitude she seems like one to keep everyone in order, but, she lets fate handle that. She is incredibly lenient with what other's do. She believes in survival of the fittest, and that if a wolf takes on more than they can handle, they will suffer the consequences. She is a firm believer in fate, and that she will not have to be one to give out a punishment, that the gods will punish them for their wrong doing. She makes sure her pack members know this, constantly reminding them to behave. Though she does not keep a tight grip, she is angered when something goes awry, as she thinks it will give her pack a bad image.
* ***Adaptable.*** She can adapt very quickly to changing situations, but on a social and environmental level. In fact, her adaption can occur so quickly to something, she may not even seem phased by it. With her abilities to read, manipulate, and persuade others, she has successfully built a wall around herself, making her unpredictable and unreadable. Unlike most wolves, Fume actually enjoys solitude. There have been times where she has become irritated at an interruption. This is a wolf not to be messed with.
* ***Level-Headed, but Power-Hungry.*** In desperate situations, the female can keep a remarkable level head. She will not jump to an immediate conclusion, and would rather play through all possible outcomes in her mind, and even so much as asking others for advice before making a final decision. The one thing she fears is making a choice that is wrong, or putting others in her pack in danger, for this will make the gods angry. Fume also, secretly thinks the best pups for the pack will come from her, and no one else. However, Fume has always been incredibly power-hungry. Her hopes is to have her pack be the highest looked upon amongst the other packs in the woods, and maybe even be a little intimidating to others. She believes they have the potential to be the best of the best. Although she prefers to be alone, she is not entirely against socialization with others. Sometimes, she thinks it's the only thing keeping her sane.

## Pre-Group History

There is a part of Fume that she has always tried to keep a secret from so many, and that was her younger years as well as her pup hood. She was born into a pack known as Illyria. This was not a complex pack, but it had one very simply rule, no mates without permission from the Alpha.

Fume was a training apprentice in this pack when she met the wolf known as Tsarr. He was training her to become a part of the guard within the pack. Apprentices in Illyria trained until their mentor thought they were ready to move on, and Tsarr kept her for a long while. At the first opportunity, Tsarr and Fume were expecting offspring. This stayed a secret until the pups were born. Four were born, two females, two males. Upon their birth, the alpha was outraged, banishing her from the pack. but it didn't end there, Tsarr had turned on her as well, realizing the mistake he had made.

In the night when Fume was sleeping, he killed all four of her pups. When she awoke in the morning, she was driven out of Illyrian lands never to return. Fume wandered the mountains for months on her own, looking for a better home.

But one day, her entire fate changed. She had wondered to far into a wolf pack's territory, and she was met by the hostility of the alpha male. He, known as Sandre. He demanded for Fume to leave his lands, but she was persistent, demanding to earn a chance to live within the pack. The alpha's son, Saurugol, was put up against Fume to fight, just to see what she was capable of. She matched his strength and cunning ability, and this both pleased and surprised the Alpha. He then accepted her into the pack. Not only this, but Sauru and Fume began to form an incredibly close friendship. She moved her way up in ranks quickly, soon able to call herself a Beta among Guardians, thanks to her ruthless training in the past. She doesn't particularly talk about the early part of her past, but she will talk about how she managed to wrangle herself into the ranks of Havir.

## Group History

She joined the ranks of Havir, meeting Cyrus and fighting off a juvenile grizzly alongside him. He would be a friend to her, comforting her when she thought of her past, and offering flowers to cheer her up. She was still pretty young when she joined Havir, and she would serve as a mentor to young Faust as he grew up as well.

When he was attacked by a cougar, and near-death, Fume found him and brought aid.

Cyrus and Fume decided to start a family together, with Saurugol's permission, of course. They brought four pups into the world (and adopted another) - Crane, Angus, Zilar, Iradessa, and Lepotica. For a short time, they were happy, and Fume could enjoy being a mother, after her first litter had been killed.

Rumors spread, and brought a swift, terrible end to Fume's life.

As Crane aged, he learned that his mother had been seduced by her mentor previously, and had already had a litter of pups, who had been killed. Spurred by voices in his head, *convinced* it was the will of the gods, Crane was motivated to kill his own mother. Fume fought desperately to survive, but he had attacked while she was sleeping, and all she could manage was to lash out with her forelegs, catching Crane's eye with her claw before he finished his terrible deed.

Crane placed Fume's body in front of Saurugol's den to be found. Cyrus and his children (save Crane) would grieve, not knowing immediately what had happened to their beloved Fume.
