## Application Sheet

Maeve was a blue-gray she-wolf with reddish accents. She joined the band of loners making their way to the Domain and would be part of the original Mhor under Archqueen Rowena's rule. During the Hive Wars, she and Alderwen had four pups together: Eamon, Oisin, Haethowen, and Bazylwen. She serves the pack as a Harvester and is well-liked by her packmates. Her story is ongoing. Maeve was created and RP'd by OddAika.

## Personality

Despite the hardships she has known through her short life, Maeve is a friendly wolf. She tries to keep a positive outlook on life, and she’s often the irritating one who says “at least it’s not raining” in bothersome situations.

She is quite appreciative of what nature provides her, and will always send it thanks when she achieves something, no matter if it is food, herbs or even a friend.

She’s quite the spiritual being. She likes spending at least some time every day where she simply listens to the world around her. She believes that there is more to life than what the eye can see, though she’s not exactly sure what that means. She also uses the time to think about moral dilemmas and will make her opinion clear on a subject if she feels like she needs to. This however doesn’t mean that she is likely to take sides, as she believes herself to be quite impartial. This is not just in the big matters of life, but even in skirmishes in the pack.

To her, treating others as she’d like to be treated is just a way of life. It’s a subconscious moral. As she would never lie or hurt others intentionally, she can’t imagine that such wolves would exist. This makes her quite a trustworthy wolf as if she even tries to lie, even the smallest white one, she bumbles over her words and gets flustered. But she is also very gullible and can be easy to manipulate, especially due to her weak will. While she is honest and outspoken about her opinions, she isn’t blunt or willing to fight about them.

Even though she makes mistakes, she has good intentions and means well, but if she’s told not to do something, she can get discouraged to not do anything at all. She isn’t great at making decisions not so much because she is indecisive, but rather because she follows her heart and often makes too rash decisions. This can easily bring her into danger.

But even with this trait and not knowing much about wolves not from her family pack, she is quite hearty and no matter what she does, she does it with her entire being, genuine to the core. Even though she would like to seem strong, she is an open book and can be easily read, even by those who have just met her. She is quite insecure, not so much in the physical form, but in the social kind. She doesn’t feel like she’s very good at being social, even though she always does her best.

She can be quite childish, like talking too loud, talking over others, or being impatient. She is always ready to play or explore the area around her. She’s not exactly dignified, instead, she displays as quite childlike despite her size. She can also be oblivious to a lot of social cues, especially things like flirting, though this doesn’t mean that she is oblivious to the problems of others. She is always ready to lend an ear for listening or help someone carry heavy things or similar. Basically, if you need help with something, you can trust that Maeve will be ready to help.

While she is still young, she is very altruistic, usually working hard to make everyone around her feel good and be happy, even if it means that she works herself to death. She has no official task yet, but during her travels, she has shown the signs of being quite the workaholic. She’s bad at self-care and bad at doing nothing.

If you befriend Maeve, you will be assured that you have a friend for life, almost no matter what you do. She is loyal, even to a fault, and will likely forgive most things. She truly believes that every stranger is simply a friend you just don’t know yet.

She loves pups and other young animals. She likes being around them, and she likes helping them explore the world. She hasn’t realized yet, but she is very maternal.

## Pre-Group History

Maeve and Moira were born to Senán and Róisín the summer before the latest. Sadly Moira passed less than a day after the girls had been born. Of course her parents grieved over the loss of the little girl, but they didn’t dote any less on the surviving pup because of that. They adored their colorful pup, and while their hearts tried to grieve, they were also filled with joy and love for the little life they had produced. The last three of them lived as loners with Elain, Lukus, and Bryna. Senán, Elain, and Lukus were all related though they saw each other more as siblings than distant cousins on each side.

Maeve's first months were happy but lonely as she had no other pups to spend time with, and her parents had to provide for her, and thus left from time to time. She loved her life despite that. She loved exploring the world around them and she adored seeing the seasons change. When she was 4 months old, she found out that she was gonna get a new friend to play with. What she hadn’t realized was that when Shayl was born about a month later he would be itty-bitty and no fun to play with for the first few months. Despite this, she stuck close to him from the start, always by his side, except for the rare occasion where her parents took her hunting or something.

She was a bit too rough to really play with him, but as much as it made both their parents roll their eyes, she just kept trying.

Maeve adored Shayl from the very beginning, and he quickly grew to be her best friend. She, of course, loved the adults in their little pack, but things were just different between two pups, even if they were several months apart in age.

Sadly, Shayl was no more than 3 months old when tragedy struck. Lukus and Bryna had been out on a hunt when a rockslide had buried them. Elain, who had been on the hunt as well, had attempted to dig them out but had seemingly gotten buried as well.

It was hard for Senán and Róisín to explain to both of the pups that the three adults wouldn’t be returning, ever. Maeve’s parents had been happy to take in Shayl as their own son, and the little pack grew even closer.

They started moving from place to place, no longer able to sustain themselves in one place, but it was hard to continue on their own. As summer came, life got easier and the adult wolves started seeing positives in the world again. Maeve and Shayl were still somewhat floating on the innocence of youth, exploring the beauty of the world around them, seeing new things every day, and tasting a lot of different food. Things had been looking up for the little family, but then Róisín got sick as fall began. For a while, it seemed okay, but then things took a turn for the worse, and one night she didn’t wake up from her sleep.

Senán was now the lone adult with an adolescent as well as a young adult to take care of. While Maeve did her best to help her dad, it just wasn’t enough to keep them all safe or fed. Thus, when they met a band of wolves traveling north, one freezing fall day, calling themselves Mhorians, the last remains of a long gone pack called Mhor, they decided to join. Not just because more wolves meant safety, but also because it simply felt like the right time.

Maeve quickly felt at home there. She loved being around so many new faces, especially as some even seemed to be around her own age, or at least not several years older. She also found that she fit in quite nicely.

Maeve found herself quite interested in the spiritual and moralistic thoughts that the Mhorians shared. She especially felt good about the thought of her mother in the Summerlands or even reincarnated into a new body, ready for a new journey.

Sadly Senán didn’t feel the same way, and one night he left in lieu of the darkness. Maeve was distraught afterward, but at the same time, she understood why he hadn’t stayed. She imagined that he felt wrong enjoying happiness without the rest of his family pack.

The kids simply hadn’t been able to make up for the sorrow of losing the love of his life, and Senán couldn’t see himself staying there with them any longer. Shayl had seemed to want to stay, but at the last minute, he had gone after the only father figure he could remember having.

Maeve have stayed with the Mhorians, and is very excited to settle down with the Mhor pack in their new territory. She hopes to be able to live up to the good that she thinks the pack can do for the world and she wants to be there to see it happen. She misses her father and Shayl but believes that she will see them again, if not in this life, then the next.

She is excited to befriend all the new wolves around her, explore the areas and become the best version of herself.
