Akasha

## Application Sheet

Akasha was a dark brown she-wolf with cornflower blue eyes and long fangs. She served Mhor until her death, killed by the wolves of the Hive during the Hive Wars. She was designed by Zoketi, and created and RP'd by MlSTY.

## Personality

* ***Confident.*** Akasha's most notable feature is her confidence. She holds herself and her pack very highly, and it is close to impossible to break her stride when she already feels so strongly about someone or something. Her confidence helps her come off as fearless when she is found in a difficult situation.
* ***Protective.*** The dark brown female is also incredibly protective to those who she holds dear to her and her pack. She will do anything to protect those who are weaker than her, not because she seeks an ego boost in that way, but rather because she has personally experienced weakness in her past, and she would not like for anyone to experience what she went through.
* ***Rash.*** Another personality trait that Akasha is well known for is being too rash. To her, Akasha lives in the moment, but then suffers the consequences in the end. It is why she needs to be around other wolves who are able to ground her and help her think things through before acting.
* ***Possessive.*** Having been born a rogue and having to face many difficulties in the past, it goes without saying that she tends to have issues with sharing with others. She will not be keen to sharing prey with another wolf, nor is she too interested in sharing those she cares for with other wolves. It is something she is actively working on improving and she acknowledges isn't exactly healthy, but also understands it will take time for her to break away from these habits.
* ***Prankster.*** Another trait that came with being a rogue was being a bit of a trickster. She used to steal prey a lot as well as pull pranks on other wolves to get a laugh. She doesn't know when to stop when pranking others, and doesn't realize that she's being cruel to someone else until after the prank has already occurred.
* ***Arrogant.*** While her confidence is overall a positive trait, her confidence also brings out her arrogance. She wants to be recognized for only the best of reasons, like being a really cool fighter, or being funny. It is also one of several reasons why she pranks. She constantly yearns for this attention because she thinks that in some way it will help her gain some new friends.

## Pre-Group History

Akasha was the result of her parents Bellona and Zelus, to plain ordinary rogue wolves. While Bellona and Zelus were very much in love, they were not expecting to have children together. It was a shock for sure, and while they were excited, nobody could've predicted that they would be raising Akasha during one of the harshest winters they've ever encountered. Zelus did his best to help bring back prey for his family, however it became clear that he was getting weaker. Zelus eventually succumbed the first day of spring, which was hard on both Bellona and Akasha. Being the tough wolf that she was, Bellona made the decision that she and her daughter would need to leave the den they called home, where Akasha was born and move elsewhere. Askasha was devastated that she would be leaving the only home that she knew, but she knew that her mother was doing what she could to protect her.

As Akasha grew up, Bellona wasted no time in training her daughter how to fight. Akasha always wanted to gain scars like the ones her mother and even her father once had, however Bellona told her that there would be more opportunities to fight, wether it is to protect yourself from accidentally crossing into a pack's territory to even warding off scavengers from recently caught prey, but it's not wise to go seeking out a fight to simply gain new scars. While Bellona taught her daughter how to catch her prey, she also taught her how to steal from other packs as well. While stealing did call for extra prey, it did mean that she would also gain new enemies and even scars like the two holes on her ears or even the scar on the bridge of her nose.

One day, when she was about to steal prey from a single wolf, but when she went to snatch the prey, she was caught. The wolf originally appeared small and dainty from afar, but when Akasha looked up at this wolfess, she could see that this female could definitely hold her ground. She apologized and returned the prey to the rightful owner, but not without catching her name and befriending her. Her name was Adalinda, and she was absolutely gorgeous. Even though Adalinda was understandably and rightfully so angry with her, befriending her was not difficult, and she would come visit her quite often, especially at night. After several weeks of spending time together, Akasha admitted her feelings for Adalinda and these feelings were reciprocated much to the tall dark female's delight! Bellona was a bit wary of these interactions, not because she didn't like that Akasha was making a new friend and even finding love within her, but rather, because she knew that this relationship would not end well, seeing that Adalinda came from a pack, while she and her daughter were rogues. Bellona tried to warn her daughter that it was not wise for a rogue to pursue a pack wolf, but Akasha was too stubborn to believe her mother. She was a young adult now and she could hold her ground and protect her beloved.

Her thoughts and words however were in vain, for the next morning, a patrol of wolves found her lying with Adalinda, and they also had her mother pinned down. The leader of this patrol was outraged and yelled profanities at Akasha, telling her that their relationship was not only disgraceful, but that she was meddling with his betroth. He was the next in line to take the throne as the alpha, and he would keep his alpha female close to him and loyal above all else. Akasha tried her best to tell him that he should not control how Adalinda lives her life, as she was her own wolf with feelings and her own desires, but this wolf would not listen or back down. Before Akasha could do much else, the wolf that was supposedly Adalinda's fiancee ordered for the wolf pinning her mother down to kill her. This resulted in a brawl, which ended badly. Bellona was killed at the scene, and Akasha was forced to watch, with Adalinda's fiancé holding her head up by one of her ears, eventually causing for it to rip. Akasha howled loudly and mourned her mother's death as Adalinda's fiancé and his patrol forced Adalinda to go back with him. She never saw her beloved again after that. Her mother had been right... this ended badly, and she knew that that it was no longer safe to stay.

She spent many of her days by herself, and it took her many days to finally feel some sense of normalcy. The tired rogue understandably felt like she could not live like this any longer, especially since this winter was proving itself to being a rather harsh one. Akasha knew she was very far from where her mother had been murdered and her beloved taken away. While she was still wary of potentially joining a pack, she knew that it would be the safest thing for her to do. As if luck were finally on her side, she ran into a pack by the name of Mhor, ran by its gracious Archqueen, Rowena. So when Akasha was extended a spot within her pack, she felt gracious and quickly accepted this offer. Something about Rowena and the morals of the pack made her feel safe, which is what ultimately convinced the dark brown female to join the pack.

## Group History

She joined the Mhorians as they made their way to a new home, following Rowena in a ragged little band. She was intrigued by their new homeland, and eager to become an official member of the pack. She was hopeful about making friends of her new packmates, and began by training with some of her new packmates, sparring with Wenlock and Reiwen.

She experienced strange dreams, dreams that seemed...*too real.*

Akasha was with Aislin, Faolan, and Maeve when a lone wolf, Macgyver, with Rowena's blessing, stayed through a winter storm in the pack's den. Akasha was wary of the loner, but they spoke and she became a bit more comfortable.

As the winter released its grip on the Domain, Akasha enjoyed some time out and about with Myrrine. She continued to practice her attack and defensive skills, helping Aislin to feel more comfortable fighting. Serren told Aislin to use the landscape to her advantage, and Akasha got a faceful of sand flung at her in a match!

Strange signs were being found near the borders of Mhor, and Akasha investigated with Serren, Aislin, Ileana, and Cahal. They stumbled upon the mutilated corpses of unknown loners, and Akasha joined Serren in racing back to camp, to report this horrific finding to Rowena. These wolves had been killed by the Hive - wolves who were threatening the very existence of Mhor.

Shortly thereafter, though...Akasha would be involved in a more direct interaction with the Hive. She was with Talni, Faolan, and Matthias when they were attacked by a group of Hive wolves. She desperately tried to protect Talni, giving him advice fighting, but ultimately, she succumbed to the fangs of the Hive wolves. This battle was the first time the Hive General, Thorne, was seen.

Akasha's death was grieved by her packmates, particularly Archqueen Rowena and poor Talni. She was honored as a hero, though, for fighting bravely to protect her packmates.

## Trivia
