## Application Sheet

Brielle was a gray-and-tan she-wolf with blue eyes, a Gamma Vicar born and raised in Aryn. She was the daughter of Tzuriel and Shoshana, sister to Azhoyel and Elias. As Tzuriel's daughter, she was the first granddaughter of Lady Athena and Lord Alcatraz. She was steadfast in her service to Aryn, until she and her mother vanished from the pack in the midst of the war with Vektren. She was created and RP'd by Flufferooni.

## Personality

* ***Awkward***. Gentle and kind-hearted, Brielle has a tendency to overthink whenever she happens to interact with somebody else, resulting in terrible speech fluidity, due to her tripping over her words, or saying the wrong things out of anxiety. Not to mention how nervous she gets whenever an adult addresses her, that isn’t Tzuri or Shoshana. As an adult, Brielle has moved on from her puppy awkwardness, both due to the hardships of life that have forced her to worry about other, more important things than just mannerisms and words and because her self-confidence has improved as she has grown into an adult. However, she conserves her gentle nature.
* ***Irritable***. It is however, quite easy to get on the pup’s nerves; mention one bad thing about anyone she’s close to, or say anything that goes along the lines of being rude, and you will have Brielle barking at you like you just committed an action against The One. She will most likely offend in search of teaching a lesson… though Tzuri disagrees with such behavior, and Shoshana seems to encourage it. Sometimes. Anyway, she tends to be a little dry with saying things under the effect of strong emotions like anger, and others can be easily offended by her tone.
* ***Sarcastic***. She has grown out of her irritability, gaining character stability and a harder shell when it comes to foreign actions. She has learnt to point out things that important, but to keep quiet and ignore less relevant ones. After all, Brielle is running out of energy and doesn't have time anymore for unnecessary confrontation. Yet, she has become quite sarcastic if she wishes to make a point, changing her blatant aggressive personality for passive-aggressive conducts.
* ***Inquisitive***. Seeing so many rules in the world around her, beginning with those imposed after Merrill’s kidnapping that result in limitations, Brielle shows a clear desire to jump over said barriers at least mentally in order to understand them and their presence in Aryn; this has also lead the pup to question most things postulated by grownups and pups alike, curious about the train of thought of other wolves and the explanation to facts. Though this is mostly shown around her parents and littermates.
* ***Anxious and Reflective.*** From the very beginning of her life, Brielle will display a particular curiosity and tendency regarding “Ideas of reflection”, meaning, ideas gathered from reflecting on her very own mental processes. Questions regarding reason, feeling, belief, that very rarely lead to anything; because of these, Brielle has a propensity to anxiety, triggered by her rather perpetual doubts about herself and her own goodness. After all, everybody has a little corruption in them, but the she-wolf finds it hard to accept and even harder to understand. Her anxiety still remains, but it stems from a different kind of doubt. Brielle is a feeling individual, reactive to her emotions and sometimes ignoring what reason might tell her. After being subjected to so many difficulties and violent events in a short amount of time, whenever Brielle feels something, it is extremely powerful and impossible to ignore, resulting in outbursts. Outbursts which later haunt her and install fear within her, fear about who she might explode on next and fear that she might go too far with how much she reveals to others. She is afraid of the overriding of her mind.
* ***Proud***. There is hardly anyone Brielle admires more than her family, both nuclear and extended all over Aryn; Tzuriel has passed on his teachings of The One to the pup, and consequently, perhaps only for the time being as a youngster, she believes everyone who she loves walks the path of The Song, and everything she achieves she takes great satisfaction on, even going as far as seeking challenges just for the feeling of overcoming them. Furthermore, chances are, if Brielle is suffering from any troubles, very rarely will she share them; she wishes to be the strongest and bravest, and decides against sharing her thoughts often.
* ***Altruistic and Protective.***Taking care of others and granting emotional support is something Brielle excels at, and she seems to have a naturally motherly approach with other wolves regardless of her young age; whether her patience and abnegation will last through time is yet to be seen, but for the time being, she seems keen in helping everyone she can, a trait she shares with both her brothers.
* ***Spiritual, but Bitter.*** Brielle's beliefs on Aryn's religion is deeply rooted within her from the beginning of her childhood, being an enthusiast of her father's stories and teachings, promptly showing a great connection and love for The One; her devote personality shines through in her daily and necessary prayers, and she firmly thinks every answer to every problem can be found through hope and faith. This in turn makes her quite the optimistic individual, sometimes lingering in resignation because "if you surrender to Him, He will do everything else". She is yet to understand that she must learn to help herself first. Although her faith remains and her trust on The One has not faltered, Brielle has learnt about the suffering and pain in the world at a very young age. Her vision of everything that rules outside of Aryn is darkened by her experiences, and she is no longer an advocate of forgiveness. It is hard to believe there is good in everyone, after living through so much evil. Bitterness grows within her, not towards her religion, but towards the world around her; she trusts very few wolves and expects the worst from strangers. She has faith in The Song, but knows and believes she must walk it with an awareness of her mortality and of the imperfections of the world, rather than depositing everything and very outcome on The One.

## Pre-Group History

Brielle was born to Tzuriel and Shoshana in autumn, alongside brothers Elias and Azhoyel.

## Group History

Brielle was a bright pup, fascinated by the world around her, strong in her faith to the One. She was extremely close to her brothers, being one of the few to know about Elias's connection to the One, and the voices he heard and referred to as "Them." The pair of them snuck out one night and watched shooting stars. She spent time with several packmates as she grew up, such as Kane and Barin, and she learned about tasks from packmates like Raghaalr.

As she grew into a juvenile, she felt a great deal of stress and pressure as she tried to figure out what kind of task she wanted to take. She consulted with her father, who assured her that there wasn't nearly as much pressure as she was placing on herself.

Tragedy struck when she was young, though, and it shaped a great deal of her life thenceforth. Azhoyel was believed to have died, drowned after falling through ice. She grieved, but she believed he was still alive, feeling it in her gut. She took on the task of a Ranger, to travel and meditate on the wonders of the One, and maybe to find him someday.

She was mature and gentle as she aged into a young adult, though weighed down heavily by her grief, by the impact of her parents' grief. Additionally, she was growing up in the midst of a war - a war with Vektren - and she was prone to distrust the further into the depths of war her pack traveled. She was unusually aggressive at the approach of a lone male, Scout, who wanted to know about Aryn's situation. After exchanging words, Brielle ran from him, unwilling to divulge information for fear it would get back to Vektren.

The war got more and more personal for Brielle.

An Arynian patrol was ambushed by Vektren, and several wolves were taken hostage: Raghaalr, Nero, and Tzuriel, her own father. Brielle, distraught, traveled with her grandfather Alcatraz to Chandor to plea for help from Aryn's long-time allies. The alpha, Nadia, was more than willing to send one of her healers, or Elks, to help in Tzuriel's absence. Tieru was not entirely willing to travel into danger, but ultimately, to Brielle's enormous relief, she would travel to Aryn.

Scout became a visitor to Aryn while Tzuriel was missing, and Brielle was bitter about him being allowed in. The two continued to banter, with scathing sarcasm, when they crossed paths.

Desperate to help her packmates as they suffered through the war, she found herself trying to take care of everyone she possibly could. She rescued Aivar when she found him, injured by Seraph, and swore to do whatever she could to help him.

When Tzuriel was brought back, Brielle dedicated herself to helping her father to recover: she tended his wounds, cleaned his bedding, and informed him that she wanted to learn how to be a Vicar, like him. Tzuriel admonished her for the ease she displayed in wanting to shift her responsibilities from Ranger to Vicar, but she assured him it was her deep wish. He wasn't doing it for him, she insisted, but because she felt called to do it.

That being said, Tzuriel was a significant factor in pointing her in that direction.

More grief was to come. The entirety of the pack was devastated when a Vektreni patrol killed Athena and Alcatraz. Brielle felt the loss of her grandparents deeply - a pain different than that associated with Azhoyel, but still terrible, horribly so.

With the death of Athena and Alcatraz came the rise of Lord Raphael, and his Inquisition. Brielle and Aivar, having grown somewhat closer since she rescued him, continued meeting with one another, speaking on their concerns and fears, their opinions on everything around them. Shoshana, extremely concerned about her daughter voicing her thoughts freely to Aivar (the Inquisitor!) She vowed to me more careful.

This was the last we saw of Brielle in the Domain. She and her mother vanished under mysterious circumstances, and haven't been seen since.

## Trivia

* When her father was blinded, Brielle took on the task of Vicar to help him as much as she could with his disability, and continue allowing him to aid patients.

## Quotes

* “I share your beliefs, Papa. But how much is there to learn about The One, if you cannot see him? Or understand him completely?” (to Tzuriel, *Vocation*)
* “I know for a *fact*, that we would *all* give our *lives* to protect an ally. Specially one who has offered help in a time of need and terrible darkness.” (to Tieru, *The Message from Aryn*)
* "After all, when you share sorrows they diminish by half. And when you share joy, it multiplies." (to Alcatraz*, Eve of a Journey*)
