Galadhon

## Application Sheet

Galadhon was a blue-gray she-wolf with electric-blue eyes. She arrived in Xassa in the midst of the Hive Wars, where her story is just beginning. Galadhon was created and RP'd by Sychynte.

## Personality

Raised to be a picture of grace and good manners, Galadhon has a most serene countenance, little insights visible reaction from her, and she can easily be mistaken as emotionless to some, though that would be quite opposite of the case. The silver wolf is easily swayed by emotion. Her heart is big, and it’s easy to pull at her strings despite her seemingly cold and disregarding countenance. Once you get past her outward shell of utmost propriety, you will realize just how heartful and sympathetic she can really be. She is quick to grow attachment and love for those around her, and she would never spit in the face of someone’s trust in her.

Her ability to adapt to whatever situation she finds herself in has kept her alive this far on her own, her creativity in battle and her natural talent as a warrior leave few obstacles in her life. Despite the extensive lessons and training all young wolves of her birth pack receive, and her seeming experience in combat, none of this has quite prepared Galadhon for the reality of the treacherous world she has ventured into. Her parents were most likely right in attempting to persuade their daughter away from leaving the safety of her pack’s guardianship over such a gentle soul as herself. Nevertheless, her wanderlust can not be suppressed so easily, and she has a heart always for venturing to new places and meeting new wolves- despite whatever dangers might present themselves to her.

## Pre-Group History

Galadhon hails from a seclusive and very old lineage of wolves. Regarded as great warriors and mages, the wolves of her line live long lives; full of experience and adventure.

Young, visceral wolves are encouraged by their older and more solemn relatives to choose the branch of skill they will hone in their lifetime- Warrior, encompassing roguery, ranging, and combat; or Mage, which could anything between healing and learning the ancient arts of the clan. Mages and Clerics, though trained in self defense, are encouraged to stay away from conflict, as spilt blood of violence taints one’s soul, and hinders the ability to heal and be in tune with the earth around them. Any wolf who chooses the combative branch of learning is trained in tactical and combat skills, as well as agility. Although most of the wolves of this clan are encouraged to hone either the ways of a warrior or a mage, there are some who choose to balance their skills between both branches- Galadhon being one of these few.

Being part of a very well renowned and respected line in her clan, Galadhon’s parents would have wished their daughter to lean further into clericism than roguery, but Galadhon’s spirit would not be quenched with the long hours of scholars teaching her mediations and histories. She craved adventure- to see the world beyond her clan’s lands.

Finally, when chance arose through her clan’s needs of protection from a growing threat, and her own insistence, her parents had no choice but to resign her to her own destiny away from their watchful guardianship. They worried that being loose of the protection of their homelands and clan members would greatly endanger their daughter, but Galadhon would not be intimidated by the threat of danger. She set out into the wilds as a Ranger- trained in scouting, tracking, combat, and basic diplomatic skills- searching for either a safer refuge for her clan, or allies to aid them in their cause

After much travel over mountains, rivers, forests, and plains,.. Galadhon’s journey led her to a land wrought with despair and wolves her clan would deem lesser than themselves. Despite having been raised with little emotional investment in those outside of her own clan, the silver wolf’s heart is less detached than those of her clan wolves, and she is not one to turn a blind eye to those in need.
