Siobhan

## Application Sheet

Siobhan was a red-furred she-wolf with a white diamond on her forehead, and yellow eyes. Originally a part of the noble pack Havir, she had to flee when a meteor destroyed the territory. She went to Heylguard with her best friend Aphrodi and his mate Ruston, pregnant with their pups as surrogate mother. In Heylguard, she had four pups: Khione, Eros, Livia, and Asclepius. Sometime later, her beloved Koudem joined her in Heylguard and they had a litter themselves: Silas and Sivora. Here in Heylguard, later Heyl, Siobhan was a Beta Medicine Keeper. When the pups were old enough to care for themselves, Siobhan and Koudem retired to the lands of Havir, with Sivora trailing after them. They haven't been seen since. Siobhan was created and RP'd by LESter66.

## Personality

* ***Personable*.** At heart, Siobhan is extremely personable.  Though not overly talkative, she enjoys meeting people, and will always make an effort to talk to someone if they seem lonely or left out.  She loves to simply be around others, even if they're not talking, but she tries not to be a bother.  She's not a complete extrovert, though- she does sometimes need time alone to recharge.
* ***Compassionate and Empathetic*.** Her compassion is one of the things that drew her to be a Healer. She loves taking care of others. She always tries to be helpful, in any capacity, emotionally or physically. Her packmates are her life.
* ***Lenient*.** She used to consider it her duty to look for the good in everyone before judging them (to this end, she is pretty good at reading expressions and telling how people feel). However, her tendency to give people too many chances/ too much leniency sometimes poses a problem for her, but she is not stubborn and is smart enough to see the value of listening to her friends.  Therefore, though it often pains her, she will usually see, eventually anyway, when someone doesn't deserve her kindness. She has become somewhat stricter in her interactions with others since the destruction of Havir, being less trusting and less willing to look at other points of view.
* ***Methodical*.** She believes that to truly please all the gods, wolves should consider themselves instruments of balance.  Therefore she is a methodical decision-maker and will always study a problem from every angle and get multiple opinions if possible before addressing it, regardless of her own initial response.  She very rarely regrets any of her past decisions.
* ***Restless and Sleep-Deprived*.** She doesn't get tired easily and likes staying up late. Sometimes she forgets that not all her friends share her voluntary insomniac tendencies and keeps them up late. Part of the reason for this is the nightmares she has suffered from since childhood, especially after the death of Iris. The destruction of Havir now features in her nightmares every time she sleeps.
* ***Faithful and Religious*.** Siobhan is very trusting in the gods, and very devout in her conduct and prayers. Her personal "favorite" deities (the ones she prays to often) are the sun goddess Adezevah, the giver, whom she identifies with as a healer, and Adeavettu, goddess of the sea.  She wears her feathers to honor them, an idea she got from her adopted brother Koudem- an albatross feather for Adeavettu and a pheasant feather for Adezevah. Since her imprisonment in the Brother's cave, she has had a harder time trusting fully in the gods, but she still prays often and is working hard to regain her faith.    The destruction of Havir has made it even harder for Siobhan to pray--she still believes in the gods, but she is angry with them, and is working to redefine her religious relationship.
* ***Wary and Jumpy.*** Since returning home from being imprisoned, and even more so since the meteor strike, Siobhan exhibits certain symptoms of PTSD. She is often a little jumpy and on-edge, has a bit harder time trusting others than she used to, and suffers even more nightmares than she did before.

## Pre-Group History

Though she was not born in the pack, Siobhan has grown up in Havir since she was a tiny pup.  She was found in the winter, the only pup in an abandoned litter who had not yet frozen to death. The pack took her in as some of them believed it was a sign from the gods she was meant to survive (though some others probably believe the other pups were taken by the gods because they were pure and she was left behind because she was not.) The Healer Iris (now deceased) raised her as her own, taking the diamond marking on her forehead, so similar to her own son Koudem's, as a sign that she was meant to be part of the family.

Siobhan was and is still is very close to her adopted brother Koudem - when Iris died when they were still pups and Koudem ran out into the winter night, Siobhan was the one who saved him from freezing to death (though not before he had suffered severe frostbite). She considers Iris her main inspiration to become a Healer. The loss of her foster mother aside, Siobhan had a fairly easy childhood growing up in Havir and learning the ways of the gods and the pack.

## Trivia

* The scar on her left hind leg wraps rope-like all the way around- when she was young she saved a friend who fell in the ocean by having her adopted brother Koudem grip her leg in his fangs and lower her down to reach them.  This is the kind of self-sacrificing act she does not hesitate to commit herself, and yet if a friend were to do something like that she would probably yell at them to take better care of themselves.
* She hates sleeping alone, preferring the warmth of a friend or two close by at all times. She says this helps with the nightmares she often suffers from.
* She loves the ocean. Whether it is the crashing waves of the short-lived northern summer or the vast frozen silence of the winter, she likes spending time on the beach.
* The scar on her cheek was from a fight with Desdemona.
	+ The scars on her back are from when she was captured by the Brothers.
	+ The burn marks on her face were sustained when fleeing Havir territory when it was ablaze after the meteor strike.
* Siobhan used to wear two feathers to honor the gods - an albatross feather for Adeavettu, and a pheasant feather for Adezevah. After the destruction of Havir, she stopped wearing her feathers, indicating her disillusionment with the Havirian gods.
