Karna (Sister)

Atsila and Jericho (Brothers)

## Application Sheet

Teba was a pale-furred male wolf with brown markings and periwinkle-colored eyes. He was born in the midst of the Hive Wars, born (against the rules) to Gold Feathers Deonte and Sheranee of Riverfell. He had three siblings: Atsila, Jericho, and Karna. His story is still developing, as he trains as a Young Feather alongside his familiar Riju. Teba was designed by ahonirik, and created and RP'd by sshouryuu.

## Personality

* ***Arrogant and Compassionate*.** Teba is confident in his own ideas and opinions; he’s also definitely one to believe he knows what’s best for others and fully expect them to follow his suggestions. His comments -albeit callous and condescending at times- don’t come from a genuine intent to put others down, but rather push them towards bettering themselves.
* ***Brave, Sardonic, and Altruistic*.** When put in front of any physical challenge, Teba will jump in to show his prowess without giving it a second thought. However, in regards to showing emotion, opening up requires showing a certain level of vulnerability that he is not willing to give -- his sarcasm and dry humor are his own way to cope with this sort of situation. Most of his actions are backed up by the notion that he must not show vulnerability, that he must be strong! So he’ll probably find himself uncomfortable in any situation where a deep emotional response is called for. Ultimately though, he aims to be good (in a moral sense). Absolutely all of his feats are carried out under the certainty that everyone is looking at him, so he aims to be stylish too.
* ***Impatient*.** Teba’s confidence in himself grants him the ability to make quick decisions without having to second-guess. He has a big impatient streak and will promptly make a decision for someone else if he feels like they’re taking too long.
* ***Exigent*.** But not hypocritical. Teba holds everyone to high standards, especially himself. He’s very self-critical from a young age.
* ***Outspoken, Opinionated, and Social.*** Teba will not be shy in pointing out something that feels wrong, or could be done better. He’s highly critical and won’t hesitate to call out stupid ideas, either. As a pup, he actively looks for the spotlight (which is where she feels right at home). He genuinely enjoys socializing -though it takes him time to make meaningful connections-. He is a devout friend once the friendship achievement has been unlocked, very committed to his relationships and quick to jump in defense of those he holds dear.
* ***Competitive*.** Winning seems to be more of a necessity. Teba is bold when given an objective and fastidious in reaching a goal, but one might find that he only really does things in order to Win rather than out of a genuine desire to do them. He’s prone to resentment whenever any of his achievements are overshadowed by someone elses’ -- which turns the little one into a very sore loser. When working with others, he likes taking charge and actively asserts himself into leadership positions.
* ***Action-oriented.*** A thrill seeker that grows bored very easily and whose only solution to that is going about looking for action. He enjoys working towards a goal, though on the negative side, his interests seem to have a wide range, and he usually jumps from one to the next pretty quickly.
* ***Seeks Approval from, and Greatly Admires, Superiors.*** Very sensitive about what his role models think about him. Teba’s actions are backed up by a genuine desire to make his family proud. He wants to be the same as his heroes, and dreams to inspire awe the same way they do.
* ***Seething and Reckless.*** His recklessness is -usually\*- fed by his own bad temper combined with poor impulse control. He falls easily for taunts. Boundary pushing and escalating arguments are also good examples of things he might do without thinking twice. He will look for retaliation if he feels like he or someone he holds dear has been wronged.
	+ \*His big competitive streak might also make him act stupid. Tunnel vision, as they say.
* ***Troubled and Guarded.*** In regards to Sheranee and Deonte turbulent relationship and the entire Gold Feather ordeal, the little one is... troubled. He’s managed to track down the very origin of his parent’s constant arguments back to himself and his littermates, since all of their discussions seem to revolve around them. His immediate response has been to assume that it’s their fault, and that this would probably not be happening if the little one’s were better. He avidly avoids talking openly about this -or any other- deep personal subject, even if deep down it’s something that weighs heavy on him. Instead, Teba is quick to project these thoughts on himself and his littermates, often demanding that they all work harder, that they all do better!!! Leave no doubt inside anyones mind that they are meant to be Gold Feathers. If one were to ask why he aims so desperately towards perfection they would probably get a lie for an  answer.

## Pre-Group History

Granted, the litter was unexpected. But Sheranee and Deonte, both senior Young Feathers, had always wanted a family of their own, so the pups were born into a good place. The fact that a rule was broken the moment they came to be did not hinder any of the love their parents had for them, so the four grew up in a good place too despite the troubling times.

Their path in life was pre-chosen for them the moment they were born. And while Sheranee disagreed with Deonte’s decision, a promise had already been made: he was to make Gold Feathers out of all four of his children.

If Teba himself likes this or not he is not sure, what he does know is that he wants to make Riverfell proud and see his family happy. This seems like the best way.

## Trivia

* Teba is smart. It’s important for him that others perceive him this way. He cares about being strong and he cares about being smart.
* High-ranking wolves leave him in awe -- kinda like meeting a superhero in real life… Cool and terrifying at the same time.
* He picks up the habit of mimicking his parents or any other Important Adult figures, it wouldn’t be out of character for him to go about wielding phrases that he has no actual clue what they mean but that he stole from someone that he admires very much.
* Despises any type of patronizing behavior aimed towards him and will be quick to call it out. He will seethe the moment anyone dares to feel sorry for him.
* Really likes to dance. Likes to practice all by himself whenever things get too overwhelming. It's a talent that he is slowly polishing and that he finds comforting to work on.
