Kalimdor

## Application Sheet

Kalimdor was a dark gray she-wolf with steel-blue eyes. She entered the Domain along with her pack of Hintertomb, where her story is just beginning. Kalimdor was created and RP'd by OneMinuteSketch.

## Personality

* ***Loyal***. Kalimdor is extremely protective of the wolves that took care of her when she was a pup. She is grateful, and wants to repay the debt she feels she owes Hintertomb (despite not remembering her childhood well). She is disciplined and dutiful.
* ***Naive***. The she-wolf is respectful to Hintertomb’s rulers. She would not challenge their decisions regardless of their moral aspect. She believes that Hintertomb wants the best for her and her packmates. She thinks that the alpha and the Choir are always right.
* ***Courageous***. She would go through fire and water for her packmates.
* ***Simple-minded***. Kalimdor thinks that the world is simple, and everything is either black or white. She does not understand the subtle nuances of wolf society.
* ***Helpful***. She is good-natured and means well. If asked for assistance, she’ll do it, no matter how burdensome the favor is.
* ***Easily frustrated.*** Kalimdor is short-tempered and hot-headed. Due to the fact that most wolves don’t understand her, she sometimes gets frustrated when she can’t convey a message.
* ***Sensitive***. Beneath the stern gaze and cold disposition there is a mind that appreciates the beauty of the world. Kalimdor likes to dance and doodle on cave walls when nobody’s watching.

## Pre-Group History

Kalimdor barely remembers her parents and her past. She arrived in the pack at a young age. She was brought in by a patrol of Irises, after her parents, Syrah and Arteon, attempted to sell her to the Hinterkin. Hintertomb wasn’t interested in such immoral dealings, but they took Kalimdor in to save her from neglectful parents.

But why did Kalimdor's parents want to get rid of her in the first place? Syrah and Arteon thought Kalimdor was intellectually disabled because she was suffering from speech disorders, and they deemed her a burden. They regarded her as an oddity that could spark Hinterkin’s interest. Fortunately for her, the pack exhibited more sensitivity than her own parents.

The Hinterkin took care of the pup. The Spires and the Cores looked into Kalimdor’s problem, but they couldn’t cure it. It seemed it was a congenital impairment, and lifelong speech exercises could only alleviate it a little bit. The pack’s scholars devoted their time to perform speech therapy, however due to parent’s negligence this therapy was delayed.

Kalimdor seemed to be perfectly healthy, except for the most obvious issue. Unknowingly, by disappearing from her life Kalimdor’s parents did her the best favour they could. Hinterkin believed that she still could become a valuable pack member in the future. During her first months in the Tomb she proved to be a keen listener - the grey pup stuck to the Spires and happily attended their lessons (even if the lectures were a little too complex for kids of her age). Later she was allowed to train among Chassi due to her remarkable physical strength and was almost ready to join their ranks before the Southpoint Collapse. Unfortunately, when the avalanche buried her packmates it turned out that this strength wasn’t enough to save all of them.

On that day, she lost her den, her well-hidden baubles, cave paintings she made in secrecy, and - most importantly - half of her found-family.

## Trivia

* Kalimdor has serious speech disorders. Her speech is slow and hard to understand, and most of the words are distorted. Her parents noticed that very early, when Kalimdor’s siblings started learning to talk. Only wolves that have spent a lot of time with the she-wolf are able to understand her. She is not mute, but she often decides to stay silent because she’s ashamed of the impediment.
