Gabitrix

Gabitrix was a white-furred she-wolf with gray and light brown markings along her back, and green eyes. She spent time in Chandor, before she moved to Aryn to be with her close friend Alcatraz. She served in Aryn as a Vicar, hoping to help her packmates to the best of her ability, before she vanished from the pack. She was created and RP'd by tisea.

## Personality

* ***Honest***. Sometimes Gabitrix doesn't know when to NOT be honest. She's blunt and to the point, always truthful, always sincere. She doesn't believe in beating around the bush and feels that even white lies are improper to her nature. She's always the one to come forward if it'd needed and say that she was the one who is in the wrong. She has no regrets.
* ***Kind***. Gabi is a good soul. She means well in everything she does and only wants to see the good in the world. Though she can be a little naive sometimes, she believes there's good in everyone; it doesn't always work out in her favor.
* ***Patient***. Gabitrix is patient even with the most stubborn of wolves. She will wait until what needs to be accomplished is, and in the meantime won't abandon whomever it is she's waiting on. She understands that not every wolf sees the world as she does, but she's willing to try and help them open their minds, no matter how long it takes.
* ***Witty***. Though she's sweeter than honey, Gabi has a quick wit and a sharp tongue. Don't be surprised if you get a smart or even slightly sarcastic retort from the she-wolf. She's quick like lightening when she needs to be and isn't afraid to speak up for herself.
* ***Loyal***. When it comes down to the nit and grit, Gabi is extremely loyal. She'll stand by whoever has shown their worth and who has won her respect. Always by their side should they need it and always willing to lend an ear or give advice. She'd throw her life on the line for her closest friends and possibly even those who aren't.
* ***Untrusting and Anxious.*** Although she sees the world as a beautiful place with everyone in it just as amazing, Gabi has an anxious quality about her. She sees the worlds beauty but has also seen its darker side and knows full well that it lurks around every corner. She's skeptical about those she first meets though her need to see the better side of things normally always wins out in the end.
* ***Perfectionist***. The she-wolf is a perfectionist. Everything she does must be 100% and when she fails, she fails hard. Not being able to do something is like a huge slap in the face for Gabi. She may not be the biggest wolf but she believes that she is capable of anything and will try and try and try until she accomplishes her goal; even if it kills her.

## Pre-Group History

Gabitrix was born the oldest girl in a litter of only two. She was raised in a pack to the north, past the mountains, that was settled just on the edge of a beautiful valley. The she-wolf was raised as any other pup was in her pack. To know love, to know kindness, to know beauty and to know trust. All of the wolves in her pack were raised like this and none she took to more then her best-friend Alcatraz.

She knew he could be a little headstrong and impatient sometimes but it didn't stop her from trying to show him the beauty of the world like her mother had been showing her. But beneath the beauty of the world was darkness, a darkness that would soon rear its ugly head.

The pack wasn't the strongest of packs; they didn't believe in violence and they were very open to others along their borders. Too naive and trusting, this lack of vigilance led to an almost outright massacre of the pack. It happened one evening when visiting wolves had asked to cross in peace. This peace was a lie and without warning they began to destroy them; one by one they slaughtered them. The young, the old, male or female, they had no one target.

Gabitrix had been waiting beside the lake for Alcatraz so they could go exploring when it happened. She was too small and not fully trained. Over taken by a wolf of the opposing pack, it took nothing for him to shake her tiny body to pieces and leave her limp and wounded by the lake side. She isn't sure what happened after the attack on her and her pack. She drifted in and out of consciousness, every once in awhile hearing voice as if in a dream. When she awoke, she was in a den close to a waterfall, the falling of water soothing to her. An aging female who had once been a shaman of a far away pack had found her limp body, left behind and presumed dead.

Upon close inspection however, Gabi was in fact alive. The old she-wolf tended to her and helped her on her slow road to recovery.

Assuming her entire pack had been slaughtered, Gabitrix made no real effort to get back home. She lived with the aging female, calling her Nanny, and stayed by her side until the old she-wolf died in her sleep. Upon the passing of her caretaker Gabitrix set out south and over the mountains on her own, searching for a new home and a new place with new faces, hoping the monsters of her nightmares weren't around every corner.

## Group History

Gabitrix first called Chandor home. She was introduced to several wolves, both loners and Chandorians, in her first few days, and quickly received an important message from a loner at the borders: Davis. Davis warned Aethelynda, the alpha, through a message delivered by Gabitrix, that a big change was coming. Lyn was concerned, but not overly so. She made sure to get a description of the loner who delivered these threats, so she could confront him in the future.

Gabi met other wolves in Chandor, who she became friends with. Magpie, for instance, would become a friendly face, and Gabitrix would share her rabbits with the black-and-white she-wolf before being asked if she was in a relationship. She also connected with Fable, for they both had tragic pasts (although Fable couldn't remember his).

Later, when walking along the borders, Gabi received an enormous surprise. Alcatraz was alive! He had survived the slaughter of their birth-pack, with a few others, and they were ecstatic to see one another. Gabi asked Alcatraz to move into Chandor, but Traz, believing packs to be unsafe, encouraged her to go with him. He vowed to protect her from any danger. Gabitrix was hesitant to leave; she had responsibilities as a Den Mother in Chandor, and she had friends...she couldn't just walk away, could she?

Still, she couldn't keep down the joy of seeing Alcatraz, alive and well, after all these seasons. She romped delightedly through the mud, much to the disgust of Magpie, who helped her to clean up before returning to the den, where she debated internally over a course of action - would she really become a loner, just to be with her childhood friend? Finally, she decided that she would.

When she found Alcatraz, however, she discovered that they wouldn't be living as loners, because he and a few loners he'd been living with had recreated the pack of Aryn - a pack that had originated far away, its former leader, Athena, was hoping to re-establish it here. A few wolves were already a part of the pack. Gabitrix was excited to start a new life with her childhood best friend, in this new pack.

Athena was wary to allow Gabitrix into Aryn, because her arrival aligned with increasing hostilities with Blutwald. However, Gabitrix reassured Athena that she had been invited by Alcatraz, and that she was willing to do whatever it took to help her new family. She knew a bit about healing herbs, but wasn't much of a fighter, so she wouldn't be able to help on that front. Athena welcomed her, on a vow of loyalty.

Alcatraz gave her some lessons in self-defense, which Gabi appreciated, because she never wanted to be a victim again. Still, there was an element of fun in their training - it was a lot like when they would wrestle as pups. She worked hard to try and be a good fighter, but it didn't catch on the way she wanted. She quickly integrated herself into the pack. She became acquainted with her new packmates, including Seaver, Lawson, Echo, and Vasilis.

When the Vicar, Adrian, came to speak to her, he suggested that she try to remember her earlier training as a healer, under his tutelage, to become a Vicar like himself. Slowly, she started to develop feelings for the wolf who was helping her to remember her training under the elderly wolf who cared for her.

Gabi was there with Athena when she went to confront Winema. She was there when the tense discussion became a battle. Fortunately, she escaped relatively unharmed, and returned with her pack to Aryn. Adrian continued to give her lessons in medicine, and her feelings for him continued to silently flourish. She also remained close with Alcatraz, talking to him about his duties as Lord of Aryn and possible future puppies, assuring him that she would be there to take care of them.

Gabitrix met with a shadow from her past - a pale wolf named Andras. He had been among the wolves who slaughtered her and Alcatraz's birth pack. She recognized him, though he did not know her. She ran, desperately, to Aryn, where she immediately went to Athena to warn Alcatraz that the wolf who'd killed his father, a "Demon of the Night", was *here*, at Aryn's borders. She was feverish, burning, from an infection caused by Andras biting her shoulder, and passed out at Athena's paws.

Adrian tended to her, trying to get her fever down, with much difficulty. She feared she would die, but he vowed to keep her alive. Alcatraz came to see her, frantic with worry, and begged her to hold on.

Her shoulder was infected, and getting worse. Adrian, desperate, traveled to Vektren, seeking the herbs in Vektren's swamps that could save her life. It wasn't a Vektreni he found, however - instead, it was a loner, named Alar. Alar told Adrian he would get the plants for Gabi's infection, in exchange for Adrian's services. He needed to distract Hekate and Vektren, and get them away from Vale. Adrian, loathe to make another deal with the devil, agreed, and got the herbs he needed for Gabitrix.

Gabitrix woke from her fever when Adrian applied the herbs. She was concerned about how exhausted he was, but he assured her that her life was more precious to him than anything.

As Gabitrix healed and her friends, including Echo, checked in on her frequently, just to make sure she wasn't on the verge of slipping away again.

But Gabitrix hadn't been healed for long before she received news she never thought she'd hear: members of her and Alcatraz's birth pack may have survived. Adrian disapproved of her going chasing after these rumors, especially since she was sick for so long, but she couldn't pass up the opportunity to be reunited with her *family.* It was hard, to say goodbye to Adrian, but Gabitrix knew she had to try and find out of the rumors were true, and she left Aryn, healthy and strong as she had ever been.

She promised him that she would return, and set off on a journey outside of the Domain. She has not been seen since, though Adrian never stopped watching for her to return.

## Trivia

* In spite of her closeness to Alcatraz, she *never* had feelings for him. Even as pups. Gabitrix assured Athena of that when the pair became mates.
* Gabitrix's infected shoulder injury, and Adrian's desperate attempts to save her life, were the catalyst for the Blood Strings plot. The war between Aryn and Vektren all started with the deception of the Vektreni by Adrian, in exchange for herbs from Alar. She would not be in Aryn to see the horrific results of her fight for her life...and Adrian's attempts to save her.

## Quotes

* "Well...we are very fortunate that our past does not make who we are today. Only shadows our ability to really be...ourselves. You will remember...when it is time. Until then...perhaps you should focus on making new, better, memories. Ones worth the trouble of remembering." (to Fable, *For the First Time in a Long Time*)
* "Mine honor is my life; both grow in one; take honor from me, and my life is done. I vow to stand by Aryn's side no matter what lie ahead." (to Athena, *Something to Fight For*)
* "Your life is not a burden, Angel. My exhaustion can be fixed with rest, but if you slipped away from this world...there wouldn't be much to do." (Adrian to Gabitrix, *Homecoming*)
