Spectra

Fisher (Sister, NPC)

Fawzie (Sister)

## Application Sheet

Spectra was a gray-brown she-wolf with heavy scarring and a shredded ear. She lived in the Domain as a loner after becoming separated from her sister Fawzie. During the Hive Wars, she kept her distance from others and eventually she departed the Domain entirely. Spectra was created and RP'd by Mguffin08.

## Personality

* ***Quiet and Isolated.*** Spectra has become rather fearful of the world and is not one to be social or socialized with. She has always been rather quiet and docile in nature but has now reverted to complete and utter silence since she finds that there is no need to speak when there is no one around to speak to. Despite her growing loneliness and growing desire to have contact with others; she simply cannot bring herself to and often runs off in the other direction if another wolf is spotted.
* ***Fearful, Anxious, Downhearted, and Bitter.*** She suffers from severe anxiety and is prone to panic attacks at even the simplest of things and has furthermore become extremely self-loathing and bitter towards herself and even the very glimpse of her reflection in the water could send her down into a spiral.

## Pre-Group History

Raised in the same group of wolves as Fawzie, Spectra had a happy pup-hood and was constantly showered with love by her parents, siblings and fellow-packmates. She adored them all but had drawn the closest to littermate, Fisher. The two were as closest as could be growing up and were inseparably and remained so as the grew into young adult-hood and Fisher, although growing to be much taller and stronger then Spectra, still held her in high regard and was a constant vein of support for the young she-wolf so when the day came to decide who the new beta of the group would be, Spectra was determined to support her sister through.

They met up with Fawzie and set off for the hunt and Spectra could only smile with pride and admiration for Fishers optimism and endless confidence. She separate from them eventually; leaving Fawzie and Spectra to themselves before Fishers pain-filled cries broke the silence of the woods. Fawzie raced off and Spectra followed behind. They cleared the thicket and Spectra watched on as Fawzie lunged herself towards a wild boar that had attacked Fisher. Fawzie managed to get its attention and ran off with the brute at her feels as Spectra made her way towards Fisher; who lay uncomfortably on her side as blood pooled out from her mangled leg. Spectra remained with her until Fawzie returned and they helped Fisher back to camp. The days went on and Fisher's condition was only getting worse. No one knew what was wrong and even the healers had become baffled as to why their methods were not taking effect.

Spectra remained optimistic, however and often visited Fisher in the healers den in order to help bring up her sisters spirits. The days turned to weeks and with each visit, Fisher was being even more agitated and easily angered. Spectra visited her one night as the healers went off in search of more herbs and a horrible argument ensued between the two as Fisher proclaimed her jealously and anger for Spectra and spat unimaginably hateful in her blind rage. Spectra snapped back eventually and Fisher fell into immediate submission and her powerful stance has turned to nothing more than a mere pup with its tail between its legs. Never before had Spectra seen her sister behave this way and left soon after; despite Fishers sobbing pleas of her to stay.

Spectra remained in the pack on the day of border patrol; hoping to at least get through to Fisher and apologize for her remarks the other night. She went off early that day to hunt a couple of hares for herself and Fisher and returned to camp a couple hours later. What she saw next would come to forever haunt her and the hares dropped down to her feet as the sight of spilled blood came into her sight; smeared and paw-printed all along the entrance of the camp. Her fur stood on end and she felt her paws guide her into camp as she was met with the dis-membered bodies of those she had grown to live with and love. The realization hit her harder than a pair of deer hooves and a cold shiver ran up her spine as she raced off towards the healers den and a cry escaped her lips. There, the healers laid, both town to shreds in what looked to be in the midst of a great struggle, with Fisher's moss bed laying empty nearby. She left the den in a daze and struggled to even stand as her tail puffed up and tucked between in legs. She barely even made it a few steps away when a looming figure in front of her caught into view.

She froze. She couldn’t move; couldn’t even think as Fisher drew closer to her and the strong scent of blood washed over her face like a raging flood and could do nothing more but stare up at her sisters deformed and bloody form. Fisher let out a horrid snarl and her tear-filled eyes dropped down to Spectra's blood-stained paws and her broken mind had come to horrifying conclusion. She went off and blamed *Spectra* for the killings that had taken place and towered over her younger sister and her golden eyes burned through the dripping red as her hackles rose and teeth bared. Fisher lunged towards her but was soon stopped by the Alpha; his body bloodied and mutilated by Fishers earlier fatal attempts but fought on and yelled at Spectra to run away while she had the chance. She did just so and fled but it was too late and the yowling cries of a dying wolf only confirmed her fears.The Alpha had lost and Fisher was after her. They had chased each other many times during pup-hood but this was no longer a game and Spectra raced on into the woods as Fisher snarled and snapped at her hind legs and thick strands of foam and spit flew onto them like drops of burning acid. She was getting closer now and Spectra could particularly feel Fishers hot breath against her thigh and braced herself for the painful bite that was to come but it never came and Spectra glanced back over to where Fisher had tripped and fallen upon a up-rooted tree they had just passed.

Without a second more, Spectra bolted away and headed towards the dug-out; a series of holes and tunnels that her Father had made for them when they were younger and headed towards one of the holes that she knew would buy her sometime. It was rather small but big enough for herself and Spectra pushed away at the pile of fallen rocks that laid in front in order to get through. Fisher was getting closer now and Spectra struggled to hide herself away. If she could just cover herself, there'd be time to dig her way out to the other side and be rid of this rapid monster. In her last attempts re-cover the hole, she pushed up one of the large boulders that remained just before Fisher fell upon it and her eyes closed shut at the sudden impact of Fisher's build hitting up against the stone. As she rummaged on; trying to break through Spectra's stoney barrier. Her planned attempts to dig her way out had faltered and froze in utter fear as Fishers claws scraped and threatened to reach her and felt Fisher pushing herself up harder and faster against the boulder. Fisher was yelling her name now and Spectra knew it would only be a matter of time before her fate with death would be met and shut her eyes to the sound of Fisher's roars, shrieks, gurgles and then-

*Silence.*

Spectra could hardly believe her ears but it was true; Fisher had gone silent and Spectra slowly peered over the boulder and her mouth gapped open. There, Fisher laid with her legs sticking up towards the sky as her body writhed and twitched uncontrollable; jaws spread wide as foam and blood pooled and bubbled in her throat and seeped out onto the ground. Her eyes met Spectra's and Fisher let out a small gurgle of her younger siblings name before her eyes rolled over and her body went still.

She remained there in the hole until Fawzie eventually found her and broke down at the very sight of her eldest sister as Fawzie helped her out and collapsed in a painful mix of grief and exhaustion at her sisters feet as the two embraced and weeped into each others pelts.

They went in search for their Mother and fellow packmates for the next three days but came empty-handed and a joined decision to leave the territory was made by the two and they left together the next morning. Few words were spoken between the two as they traveled on but did their best to console each other when the night fell upon them. The days went on and they eventually found themselves upon an empty river and Spectra suggested they'd go down to search for clams since it had been sometime since the two had a decent meal. Fawzie was hesitant at first but eventually gave in to her siblings optimism and they headed down. They had spilt up in their search and Fawzie was a good ways ahead of her when the grey female had found her first clam. She called out to her sister in a joyous voice of her victory and Spectra looked up only to see that Fawzie's wide grin had turned downwards and her large ears had flatten back onto her skull. Spectra already knew the reason and her head slowly turned around and her heart dropped into her stomach. Her eyes widened at the sight of the roaring waves that drew closer towards them and could barely hear Fawzie's yells to run over the blood bumping in her ears. A sudden thug of her scruff brought her back to began to run alongside her sister as the flash-flood rumbled beneath their feet.

It came down upon the two sooner than they had thought and Spectra was violently pulled up into the muddy water; stinging her eyes with the thick debris that lay within it. She fought her way up to the surface and gasped for air as she searched for her sibling and found that Fawzie had been swept away just ahead of her and was making her way back towards. Spectra did the same and pushed forward as the two tried to reach each other but another monstrous wave rose up from above and Spectra could only watch in horror as Fawzie was swallowed up into it.

She fought her way to land eventually and ran along the shore in search for her sister but it was over.

Fawzie was gone; taken away by the powerful current and Spectra had become completely alone.

## Group History

Spectra's early time in the Domain wasn't easy. She accidentally stumbled upon a battle between a loner and a mountain lion. The loner (Braigiel) was intent on fighting the lion and neither paid much attention to a very startled Spectra!

She spent the next several seasons alone, struggling through the colder seasons of autumn and winter, and grappling with the emotions brought on by water. The *memories*, the nightmares, it was all overpowering at times.

One day, though, she would save a wolf from drowning.

This wolf, Josephine, was severely injured and Spectra was cautious revealing any information about herself to the she-wolf. However, she was willing to help Josephine to recover a bit before helping escort her home, much to Josephine's appreciation. Jos couldn't help but notice how similar Spectra looked to one of her Riverfell packmates, Fawzie, but never brought it up with Spectra herself, only briefly mistaking her for Fawzie upon first being rescued.

And then, she was alone again, seeming never to be able to sleep, only watching, paranoid, for the white wolves to find her. Before long, she'd depart the Domain, and hasn't been seen since.
