Ashwood

Raina (Sister)

Lawson and Erin (Cousins)

## Application Sheet

Ashwood was a dark brown male wolf with gray eyes. He was born just outside of the Domain, to a mother Una (NPC) alongside his sister Raina. Una brought the pups to Chandor, leaving them for their father, Reed, to raise. Reed was gone at the time, so Ashwood was originally under the care of Polarstag. After a hunting accident, Ashwood left Chandor as a young adult and moved to Riverfell, where he gained confidence and served his pack as a Rider. His story is ongoing. Ashwood was created and RP'd by Celtic-Barbarian.

## Personality

* ***Inquisitive***. While he is still inquisitive, he is more interested in the greater world than just Chandor now.
* ***Anxious***. The abandonment issues caused by his mother flourished, despite having his father, sister, aunt and 'uncle' Polarstag there for him. He worries about most things, causing him to grow anxious and wary. Especially if it means he has to trust someone, being distrustful to a fault of other wolves. Won't they just leave him like his mom did?
* ***Friendly***. Ashwood, despite his anxieties is trusting and friendly towards those who he deems fit. Especially if it's clear that they are kind by the word of another wolf, this trusting nature caused him to almost starve to death when he was alone for his first winter.
* ***Soft***. Something of a pushover, Ashwood is considered to be nothing like his father, in the means that he wouldn't be able to hurt a fly. Though, this doesn't mean he wouldn't fight, he would just rather talk things down. Even hurting prey causes him to be bundled in unnecessary guilt, he has to eat after all.. but it would be better if someone else caught the prey first.
* ***Big-Thinking.*** Being someone to think out of the box, he has many ideas on how to fix situations, his imaginative self is still something that shines through. Ashwood is happiest when he can aid others to sort out something.
* ***Weak***. Despite being smart, thinking big and being brave.. what else must else was there to him? He saw very little of himself, not understanding when others say they see his father in him. His father? A warrior, and an amazing hunter? What poppycock.. What foolishness. He would never be like his father, or even, his mother.
* ***Shameful***. He left his family without telling them, abandoned them. He is weak, a fool, ungrateful clearly...he is a disgrace.

## Pre-Group History

Ashwood was the result of the meeting between his mother Una, and his father, Reed. This occurrence happened not long before Reed returned to Chandor, and Una was heading towards the North-east coast when she realized that she was expecting. Knowing very little about Reed, it wasn't a shock that she cursed him for putting her in this state, as though she had no involvement.

Being that only two pups were born of the litter, most would have assumed he and his sister Raina would get all of Una's love. But she didn't want to be a mother, the aged adult cursed Reed, and his 'spawn'. Once Ashwood and his sister were old enough- or at least in Una's eyes to be weaned (he wasn't, only a month and a week old), they was dumped in the nearest pack's territory. While she didn't want to be a mother, it wasn't something she wanted on her conscious of pup's dying alone.

It wasn't long before he was located by wolves of Chandor, and was taken to their camp- where their aunt was surprised to learn about them before their father had.

## Trivia

* He has a foggy eye from a bull elk hoof grazing his face, which left the scars on his face. A later bear attack further damaged the eye but it isn't completely blind, but it *is* extremely sensitive to light. He has anisocoria.
