Theodosia is a ginger-brown she-wolf with amber eyes. She was born to Mistress Nimh and Lord Berserker Monty of Vektren, as the first-born of the Koor'Kipraan horde. She had three littermates: Judith, Ophion, and Amon. Theodosia was rose in the ranks to become a Theta Magister, having proven her healing skills throughout the Hive Wars. Her story is ongoing. She was designed by Aerial-Vew, created and RP'd by LunarShadowCreations.

## Personality

* ***Arrogant and Proud, but Self-Assured.*** Theodosia is an incredibly proud she-wolf, who thinks herself above others due to both her skill and her birthright. However, despite this, she doesn't openly share this arrogance - she doesn't need others to acknowledge how awesome she is, she *knows* it. She doesn't need anyone else to validate her.
* ***Intellectual, Witty, and Charming.*** Her mind is labyrinthine, racing a million miles an hour, going down countless paths. She delights in mental challenges and enjoys using her wit and intellect whenever she can. Due to her physical characteristics, mental acuity, and ability to put on a very charming facade, with training, Theodosia could have become a master at just about any task Vektren could offer (save Necrolyte), but only Magister offered her the mental challenge she needed.
* ***Easily Bored.*** She can become easily bored unless actively performing work (joining hunts, gathering herbs, honing her craft, etc.). In her 'free time', she will seek out company to engage with - she enjoys speaking to others, *partly* because she knows she's smarter, but she also delights in learning what others have to think.
* ***Empathetic and Caring.*** As a healer, Theodosia is naturally a wolf who cares about tending to others physical ailments. However, Theo is equally invested in the mental health of her packmates, and encourages them to speak with her about whatever ails them, even if it's just worries and concerns. They don't always take her up on this order but she understands...Vektren is full of secrets, after all.

## Pre-Group History

After a grueling war with Aryn and the devastating loss of the former Herald, Hekate, the new Mistress of Vektren, Nimh, decided that the pack needed its ranks bolstered. Strong soldiers must (unfortunately) start off as mere whelps, babies. While Yseult and Fornax were the only heterosexual mated pair in the pack, they were not ready to bear a litter, and so Nimh decided to encourage a more...strategic creation of new Vektreni. She herself chose to pair with Monty, the Lord Berserker, while her mate and Kiero Koi would invest in another litter, and Ghislaine and Morrigan (the latter quite foolishly) engaged in bringing pups to the pack as well.

Nimh would have two children, both of whom she would pass off to her mate, Vieste, to raise alongside her own children. The pups were named by their stepmother Vieste, with a bit of input from Monty. This pup would become Theodosia - "the greatest gift." Theodosia (or "Theo" as she was delighted to go by) is an active pup who, alongside her seven 'siblings' and littermates, Amon, Judith, and Ophion, terrorized the ranks of Vektren in their earliest days of youth.

Theodosia *adores* her father and tries to spend as much time as possible with him, picking his brain about his life, questions about the world around her, and his opinion on certain things. She's *immensely* defensive and possessive of him and this is the only point of contention she has with her siblings. He's *mine.* She has affection for her biological and adoptive mothers, but Vieste (her "nanny") has *real* pups to love, and Nimh has made it clear from the beginning that she has more important things to do than spend time with her pups. Theo understands this and doesn't seek her mother's attention or approval - only her father's.

She will mature fairly quickly, finding active play to be much less stimulating than mental exercise. As she approaches juvenile months, Theo will seek out grown Vektreni when they're not actively working to ask them questions (unfortunately, quite a lot of questions, ranging from simple 'how tall do you think I'll be?' to more complex 'why can birds fly, but I can't?'). She likes her 'siblings' but needs them to catch up to her maturity level before she'll really be invested with them again.

## Trivia

* In Theodosia's mind, she doesn't have a 'mother' - her biological mother Nimh is her "patron" and her nurse-mother Vieste is her "nanny". In her labyrinthine mind, she's virtually related to everybody, and has nothing that's truly "hers" - except for her father, Monty (she understands that, begrudgingly, she has to accept that Monty is shared by her birth siblings, but she has elected to overlook that). As a result, she can be extremely possessive of her father.
	+ Actually, there is one more thing Theodosia can claim as her own - her birth siblings. She loves her littermates and would like to be pretty close with them (except for when Monty's around, then they are...*barely* tolerated)
* Theodosia doesn't *quite* understand Ed and Monty's relationship. She's convinced that Ed is Monty's friend, no matter what Monty might say, and she thinks all snakes are friendly.
* She doesn't have much of an opinion about Eris but she doesn't like Ivar. Ivar's making moves with Monty and she won't stand for it. That's *MY* dad, go get your own!
* Looks into the camera like she's on *The Office* a lot. Because her pack-mates need to just chill.
* As much as Theodosia (and sometimes Lunar) will try to insist that she's the most "normal" Vektreni in the pack, she does have some quirks - she is by *no means* perfect. Aside from her possessive behavior, she has a near-obsession with flying creatures and a definite obsession with the crunching of ice.
* Generally, Theo can't have just one project she's focusing on. Instead, it's common for her to have well over four or five projects she's working on - perfecting a certain poultice, trying to get certain herbs to grow in a new location, healing a packmate's wound, dissecting a bird carcass, seeing if a stream could potentially be redirected, trying to figure out the best hunting practice for catfish. These all overlap. She doesn't have the attention span to sit and work for days at a time on finishing a single project - there's a million things to learn and do in the world, and she needs to be doing them all at once! This doesn't necessarily make her work of a lesser quality - it just means it takes a longer time to *get it done.* \*The exception to this rule is, of course, when healing a packmate. Though she won't dote over them every hour of the day, she's definitely got other activities happening on the side.
* Theo was the first-born of *all* the Koor'Kipraan pups!
* Theodosia has a severe allergic reaction to snake bites, which was discovered when she was bitten by a non-venomous water snake as a pup. It causes her throat to constrict and her face to get extremely itchy - fortunately, it was discovered that hawthorn berries (haws) drop her blood pressure enough to open her throat again, so she has a reliable means of taking care of herself should she get bitten again. As a result of this incident, she has a tiny scar on the underside of her jaw - a reminder not to get too involved with local wildlife!
