## Application Sheet

Sigurd was a pale-furred male wolf with long legs and sand-yellow eyes. He was born to the alpha pair of Heyl, Fitu and Kestrel, alongside three siblings: Andi, Eir, and Vindur. He was raised with an adoptive brother Hannibal as well. As a young adult, he left the Domain, neverto be seen again. Sigurd was designed by Chickenbusiness, and created and RP'd by Koilada.

## Personality

* ***Strategist.*** Even as a pup, Sigurd displayed an innate flair for planning and tactics, although as peaceful as Heyl currently is, this talent is near exclusive to hunts, border patrol, and in-pack conflicts. He deeply enjoys puzzles, riddles, and problem-solving, and can often be found plotting out his day in an attempt to get the most done in a day before he returns to the den to sleep.
* ***Non-Confrontational.*** The whiteish male absolutely abhors conflict and will try his hardest to avoid physical or verbal aggressiveness or confrontation. This is not because he is timid in the same vein as his parents, however, Sigurd is quite confident in fact, his diplomatic tendencies and preference for open-mindedness and seeing the full picture, along with his father and Heyl's ideals for peaceful resolutions dictate his worldview.
* ***Creative and Unorthodox.*** Thinking outside the box is something Sigurd does best. He's always experimenting with strange and unusual ways to do things, and this follows through to his strategies as well. Often, Sigurd can be seen creating odd obstacles to mess around out of rocks and foliage he finds around the densite, and as he grows, begins to gain a fond interest in unorthodox, non-violent battle training.
* ***Diplomatic.*** Sigurd has a natural aptitude for being civil in most every situation. He prefers to use words rather than teeth, and likes to smooth over any disputes as cordially as her can. In peacetime, this mainly manifests in sorting out petty squabbles and deflecting arguments at his person, but he has the potential to be useful when it comes to public relations between packs someday.
* ***Attentive.*** The light-furred wolf pays close heed to those he cares, or feels responsible, for. When he's not messing about with his schemes, Sigurd can be found doting on his mother, or following his father around as he goes about an alpha's duties, attempting to help out, even if he isn't much interested in leading.
* ***Chivalrous and Genteel.*** Sigurd is a polite and courteous little lad. He makes a conscious effort to heed his elders with respect, and tries his best to be an obedient pup and do as they say, even more so if it's his parents. His mother has left a particular impact on him, and his adoration for her manifests itself in a rather innocent gentlemanly approach to girls, regardless of their behavior towards him.
* ***Meddlesome.*** For all his polite and attentive traits, Sigurd has the possibly infuriating knack for sticking his nose where it doesn't belong or where it's not wanted. His strategic mindset dictates that he must know everything that's going on at any given time, as well as the lives of those around him so that he can plan accordingly, or come out better tactically when in a pinch. Along that note, he'll frequently try to get others to do, or try to stop them from doing something under the pretense that it'd be "better" the way he planned. This is not the only reason for his tactical meddling, however -  towards those he loves he can simply be over-attentive due to his desire to keep things peaceful, happy, and without conflict.
* ***Hubristic.*** This young prince is confident enough in himself that it can also be a fault. This audaciousness is mainly in relation to his tactful mind and unconventional thinking nourishing his ego - thinking himself invincible - and his father's ruling status may also add a tad. He is so self-assured that he can oft get himself, and potentially others, in troubling situations.
* ***Silver-Tongued Charmer.*** Sigurd has a way with words; he knows just what to say to turn the tides in his favor, and can be quite the flatterer if need be. In the present, it is normally put to use on attempts to stay up longer, gaining an extra portion of food, or trying to convince his siblings to do something they otherwise would not. Unfortunately during his youth, this is primarily fueled by selfish motives rather than more productive notions, such as his diplomacy.

## Pre-Group History

After years of shared romantic tension, Fitu choosing a mate in the form of another neighboring Alpha, merging Heyl and Dawnguard into one, and the subsequent disaster upon flood upon plague and curse of a foreign deity, Fitu and Kestrel were left to pick up the pieces after so much tragedy. The two took comfort in each other, something sorely needed in the midst of an era rife with personal loss, kindling their feels for each other to a new extent. Finally, after months of healing from the effects of Pajackok's curse, the two admitted their feelings for each other, their love more powerful than before.

Out of this love, Sigurd and his siblings were born into the newly-recovered Heyl, the old homeland that had once been lost.

## Group History

Sigurd adored his parents and their stories, and he had a fairly average childhood. He would be surprised by the arrival of two wolves from Chandor (Navindru and Dayanara), and the puppies they had shortly thereafter. Still, he was quick to offer friendship to Mila, and challenged her to a race (a tragic race which would make Mila aware of her disability). Sigurd was kind regardless of her disability.

Ultimately, though, little of Sigurd's story would play out for the Domain to see. He fell to the background like his brother Vindur, with more outgoing siblings Eir and Andi. He never took a task, but ended up leaving the Domain at a good time - shortly before the pack was completely destroyed by Eir's treachery. Who knows where Sigurd went, but he is believed to be alive and well.

## Trivia

* He often hums tunes to himself while busy, and has a keen love for bird songs. Sigurd refuses to hunt or eat birds that sing.
* Sigurd is unsure if he believes in Icadorityl or not. He is fascinated by his father's tellings of her, and would love her to be real, but part of him is skeptical. He often dreams of her, hoping that she'd talk to him like she did Fitu. Sometimes he thinks he comes to him, but when he wakes up, his uncertainty returns when he can't decide whether he'd just created the encounter from his own imagination or not.
* Sigurd's favorite place to be is the Great Lake Cavern. Not only does he find it peaceful, but there's something inherently beautiful about it that he doesn't understand. It also makes him feel closer to his father in some vein, as well as more intimately intwined with Heyl itself.
* Gets the cream from where Poppy got hers from? (Grandfather? Great-grandparents? Just recessive?)
