## Application Sheet

Chartreuse (or, Truce, as she preferred to be called) was a pale-furred she-wolf. She was one of Oruz's bastard daughters, but she never knew him. Her half-siblings included Evander, Lepotica, Tollek, Tsuii, Mosrael, Bellatrix, and Rabbit. She spent most of her early life in Vale, but eventually decided that she wanted to see what else life had to offer, and she left the Domain. She was created and RP'd by Ramala.

## Personality

* ***Vibrant and Intense.*** Chartreuse (or Truce) is a force of nature. She is young, vibrant, and full of a deep, burning energy. Despite this, she never comes across as hyper or ditsy, instead she's an oncoming storm of bright, white-hot intensity. She is undeniably a beautiful young wolf by the standards of most, in an innocent, fresh sort of way. She is an odd mixture of a daring, rough-and-tumble tomboy, with a distinct, seemingly dissonant princess streak. Truce is not extremely aware of her looks, but that doesn't stop her from awkwardly flirting.
* ***Imaginative, but Naive and Gullible.*** She likes to think that she's as grown up as everyone else, but the truth of the matter is that she has a lot to learn. She has a vivid imagination and is fascinated with intrigue, drama, love, and lust, and everything she shouldn't stick her nose into, but she hasn't truly experienced any of it herself. She is extremely naive, and she hates that about herself. She is aching to experience life, explore, love, hate, make her story one worth telling, which means she has a terrible tendency to get into trouble. In her desire to learn, but not appear like she's learning, she often trusts older, charismatic wolves before finding out what they're really made of. She is smart, and quick-witted, and can sharp-tongued. She also has a scary temper. She is forgiving, and slow to anger, but someone who finally makes her snap had better be afraid of the beast they've unleashed. However, she can be gullible and manipulated, especially if being deceived about something she wants to be true. She can come across as and in someways is a little shallow, but with some unexpected spots of depth.
* ***Insecure.*** She has an unusual awareness of mortality for her age, due to the fact that she fears that she may not live a life as long and prosperous as she wants. This is also a part of the reason that she want to burn bright and hard in her life for every moment that she has. She wants to cram as much experience into every moment as she possibly can.

## Pre-Group History

Truce is young, and doesn't have much life under her belt. She was born to a small pack to a loving mother. It wasn't long before her family let her in on a grave truth, hoping that it was best to tell her while she was young enough to accept the idea as a fact of life. According to them - she was destined to die young. Truce's grandfather was guilty of killing the first-born daughter of a high ranking witch-doctor of a transient wolf pack known as Fellfang.

In retribution, the witch-doctor claimed to curse her grandfather, saying that every first-born daughter born to his family from then on would die young, long before they reach old age- just like the fate he'd bestowed upon her own daughter. Truce's grandparents didn't think much of this threat until their first-born daughter, Truce's mother, became inexplicably weak and sickly. She lived to adulthood, long enough to fall in love with a loner named Oruz and have a litter of her own, of which Truce was her first-born daughter. Oruz, the pup's father, abandoned Truce's mother soon after they met - a betrayal she'd never recover from. After her litter was born, it became clear that she was not long for this world. The pack in which they lived was small, they were barely scraping by through the winter, and Truce's mother decided she needed to take her litter to a pack that would be able to sustain her in her final days, and give her young ones a future.

She left with her pups and fled to Vale, not all of her litter made the trip, but Chartreuse survived. She lived long enough to see Truce reach two years old, but then passed away of her mysterious ailment. Chartreuse lives to this day convinced that she may too succumb to the witch-doctor's curse, as she's the next first-born daughter in her grandfather's lineage. She keeps this believe close to her chest, and doesn't talk openly about it. She's not even sure if she believes it, but it was instilled in her so early in life, she just can't shake the feeling.

## Group History

Even from the beginning, Chartreuse was commonly found walking along the outskirts of Valerian lands, waiting for something "interesting" to happen to alleviate her boredom. On one of these walks, she met a handsome stranger named Andras, who told her to beware of monsters. She assured him that she wasn't afraid, and he was interested. Such a young, naive wolf, yet she was brave, too. Each was fascinated by the other, and they spent some time getting to know one another. Before long, perhaps she was developing some feelings for him.

These feelings would fall into turmoil when Vale was turned upside-down. A loner named Renier hired Vektren's services, to help him overthrow the current alpha of Vale: Faust. As things were overturned, Truce caught Andras's scent among the Vektreni, and she confronted him on it. He told her that she *knew* he was dangerous, it wasn't his fault her feelings had been hurt, and they parted ways, each feeling the sting of the other's loss.

In the aftermath of Faust's removal, Chartreuse tried to learn some offensive and self-defensive techniques with Brunhilda...which didn't go too well. She *definitely* needed some help learning.

She found herself out and about more often than not, it seemed, and Truce was attacked by a strange lone wolf. She thought for sure it would kill her, but Andras, hearing her cries for help while returning from defending Vektren against a cougar, he sprang to the rescue. He was severely injured, but managed to save Truce. He planned to leave after that, but Truce saw how serious his injuries were, and she tried to tend to his wounds instead. They spent the night together, giving Andras a chance to rest, their feelings open and raw. By morning, he was gone again.

An earthquake shook the Domain, and both Vektren and Vale's defenses were lowered for a time as they recovered. It was in the aftermath of the destruction that Andras and Chartreuse were able to reunite, even if for only a short time. They were so relieved that the other was uninjured by the tectonic movements. They had a serious conversation, with Andras opening up about his role in Vektren as Hekate's consort and father to her heirs (Dante, Damien, and Vergil), and Chartreuse begged him to leave the pack and join her, to cast off those chains. They admitted that they loved each other. After these emotional confessions, Andras affirmed his love for Truce and vowed to see her soon, after he could sort out his affairs in Vektren.

She never saw him again.

She waited, all winter long, for any sign of her beloved Andras, but to no avail. Eventually, Truce decided that she needed to leave Vale, to see what other things, what other *wolves*, life had to offer. With hope and high spirits, she cast off the shadows of her past and moved into the future, leaving the Domain, never to return.

## Trivia

* For a long time, Truce tried her paw at a variety of different vocations, not showing any particular affinity for any of them.
* Truce has seen several of her half-siblings via Oruz - Tsuii and Tollek lived for a time in Vale, as did Evander, after the destruction of Havir. It's possible she may even have seen Rabbit amongst the Vektreni who prowled the lands after Renier's takeover. However, she never knew any of them were her siblings.
