## Application Sheet

Astraea was a dark gray she-wolf with light lavender-gray eyes. She was born in Fellfang, to former loners (and Heylians) Orion and Barbosa, in the midst of the Hive Wars. She had two siblings: Qassiel and Nephele. Astraea set her paws on the path of a Hunter, and her story is ongoing. Astraea was created and RP'd by LunarShadowCreations.

## Pre-Group History

Orion and Barbosa could be described as star-crossed lovers, though their story didn’t start out that way. They were raised together in Heyl, becoming one another’s best friends and sharing everything with each other. Barbosa was patient with anxious Orion, and Orion was a steady force of goodness in Barbosa’s life. They completed one another. When Barbosa felt called to leave the pack and explore the world, Orion turned his back on everything at home - his family, his aspirations as a spiritual leader, the sense of security pack life provided - to accompany her. They traveled to a couple of packs, including Chandor and Damasca, spending nearly a year abroad before they decided to return.

Disaster struck, with a bear attacking them and causing them to separate. Orion was brought back to Heyl, when found unconscious from his injuries, and though his packmates looked for Barbosa, she was never found, believed to be dead. Orion was in and out of consciousness for several days as infection worked its way from his wounds. By the time he woke up, the world was completely changed.

His parents had been killed by the alpha’s son, Eir. The pack, in the chaotic aftermath, disbanded. Sagitta, his sister, had left the pack. And Barbosa was believed to be dead.

She wasn’t. She was struggling to survive, all alone, in the world. She would go through trials and tribulation, and come out mentally and physically scarred. Orion spent this time in a deep depression, convinced his beloved Barbosa had died, along with everyone else he loved (save his brother Leo). But one night, at his lowest, Orion was struck by a realization: his goddess, Icadorityl, wouldn’t have saved him without saving her. Barbosa was alive out there, somewhere. He tracked her down, following rumors of a dark wolf with blackberry eyes, speaking to loners and pack wolves alike.

Orion found her, and vowed never to leave her side again. She was shaken to the core, frightened of demons, both real and imagined, but Orion nursed her back to health. Together, they built up trust, and, eventually, reclaimed that love, that possibility of a family and a normal life, that they thought lost forever.

Sometime later, they decided to settle down and start a family. And that’s when Astraea was born.

## Trivia

* While some wolves may find themselves intimidated by the immensity, the unending boundaries of the sea and sky, Astraea finds herself most at peace pondering these things. That immensity is the most tangible way to understand the gods, the very nature of the universe: immense, overpowering, and full of light and life. It’s not uncommon for Astraea to spend lengths of time staring at the horizon.
* Astraea actively worships Icadorityl, by her father’s teachings; however, she’s been raised to embrace other religions and often finds herself entranced by the ocean, wondering what spirits are responsible for the rising and ebbing tides. She adores the ocean.
* Aea is terrified of being forced from the pack. While she knows her parents survived very well as loners, she doesn’t think she could handle it herself.
* Astraea cannot sleep if she isn’t making physical contact with another wolf.
