Alice

## Application Sheet

Alice was a brown-furred she-wolf with a bright pink nose and acidic green eyes. She was born outside the Domain, and entered as a loner, (staying a brief time in Vale) and ultimately joining Shiloh's band of loners and becoming Shiloh's closest friend, and later mate. As Shiloh's partner, she was a Queen of Riverfell. Unfortunately, Alice died shortly after becoming mates with Shiloh, losing her life in the Hive Wars, in the Battle for Riverfell. Alice was created and RP'd by YazukyYuu.

## Personality

* ***Intelligent*.** She is always one step ahead of you. Her ability to understand is faster than normal wolves. However, it doesn't mean that she is always right or that nothing goes wrong, but her intelligence so far only left her down once, on the tragic night. There is nothing worse than ignorance and having to listen to wolves gifted with little intelligence, this even causes her nauseous.
* ***Reserved*.** Alice is a very reserved wolf when the theme is her family and her past. You'll never know anything about her unless she trusts you. Never pressures on this topic nor with vague questions that you try to do to get the answers you want, you can get hurt.
* ***Independent*.** Because of her past Alice has learned to be independent and to fight for what she want or need. From a very young age she had to learn to hunt and learn various tricks that nature showed her. Alice does not see herself in a pack, nor close to other wolves. She perfere be alone and decide what to do than have others decide for her and give her orders. Unless, she benefit from it.
* ***Distrustful*.** Even with Shiloh, Alice's still afraid of being found. Every time she finds a new loner on her way she can become apprehensive about this new "friend" who finds themmself on her way. Alice will not think twice to show her teeth. If she is in a good mood she will appear smiling and will try to tease. Even knowing wolf for a long time she will never trust them and she will doubt until the end of their intentions.
* ***Manipulative*.** Don't be fooled by her green eyes, her angelic face or her seductive voice. She  is not what you think. She can act very well, especially when pretending to be your friend.

## Pre-Group History

Alice was born in a small pack. She was the daughter of the leaders plus her three brothers.

She was a beautiful little princess, and she already showed how stubborn she was. However, nothing compared to her brothers (Buron and Sancho) who was always fighting each other and establishing the hierarchy. This worried the pack a lot, especially their parents. Thomas was the quietest of all unlike Alice, Buron and Sancho.

Alice never got along with Buron, they were always arguing. She never talk much to Sancho. He was always calm or too serious and that always irritated Alice. Thomas was the only one with whom she spoke more.

As a youngster, Alice loses her mother who had been sick and fought a disease that no one knew how to heal.

Alice was devastated and turned away from all, her father went into a depression. The pack over the years began to see the land weaken, and the land that once brought life and herds began to fade away. They asked their leader to look elsewhere, but the old leader didn't want to leave his territory.

Alice at the age of two, as well as her siblings, could not stand the situation.

**"My beautiful sister, why don't you join here, to eat with us?"** Asked Buron ironically.

Alice looks at him sideways with a rabbit she had hunted. She knew that Buron was being ironic so she ended up sitting with the three brothers. It was true that this was rare, but not every day was the same.

**"I don't know how things can go on like this!"** Says Sancho upset.

**"We have to do something, maybe just leave the pack and ask who wants to go with us..."** Says Thomas  apprehensively.

**"No one leave the pack! If you leave you die. You know the rules brother. This only changes when I become a leader, and he never dies  to make it happen...."** Says Buron as he eats.

Alice looks at the brothers as she sees them talking about the pack situation, it was obvious that the conditions were getting worse. **"Just calm down, plz...I'm going to talk to him today."** Says Alice.

**"Ahaha! you're going to talk to him, and you think you talk to him and everything changes? If you think that, why didn't you do it sooner?"** Says Buron  in an angry tone to Alice. Alice looks at him. **"Oh please, don't tell me you're jealous? Come on, you're too old to do tantrum. All parents have a preferred children."** She blinks her eye.

Buron stands up and stares at Alice. **"Do not think you're smart with me Alice."** Alice remains calm as she eats another piece of meat. **"You don't care for anything or anyone except for you. And now you are interested in help? "**

**"Well, well ..."** Alice gets up and they both look at each other. **"After all, we  have something in common. We just want to know what interests us and whether we benefit from it or not. And what only interests you is being a leader. Nothing else. It doesn't interest you whether you know how to govern or not. You just want to have stupid title and be able to rule over everything and everyone. So Buron don't try, because you don't fool me."**Alice looks at Buron with a serious expression and walks away.

Buron arrives to the pack tired as if he had to flee from a predator. His arrival draws the attention of some wolves of the pack who look at him confused.

At this Buron tries to see his sister. **"YOU!"** Says Buron loudly and furious when he sees Alice. She with a frightened look sees her brother approaching her. Buron stops in front of Alice and looks around at the pack. **"We have a murderer** **before us!"** Alice looks terrified at her brother.

During a snowy evening the leader was killed...

He was killed away from all wolves. No one suspected the absence of the leader since he was often alone in his thoughts. Even the four siblings weren't in the pack when their father was killed. But only one of them said: *"I'm going to talk to him today."*

Buron accused his sister of killing her own father.  On her paws were traces of blood that Alice could not deny .

In her pack females didn't have the same direct as the males (even Alice the leader's daughter). Alice knew she had to flee, even if she said it was a lie at her brother's words, no one would believe her. Were words of a female against the words of a male. It was a lost fight. Besides, she never showed interest in the pack, she always lived in her corner as if she hated to live there. How could they believe in her words anyway?

She began to run into the forest, trying to sneak through the water. In her thought a constant repetition of despair ***"What did I do, what did I do!?"*** Alice only stopped when she didn't feel any more danger.

Now she's on the run. For not to be killed.

## Group History

Upon her arrival in the Domain, one of the first wolves Alice crossed paths with was Samwell. She was charming, but Samwell was a bit wary of her! For a while, Alice lived on her own, only rarely interacting with other wolves, such as Kaiser. The two of them engaged in some *serious* flirtations, though neither was serious about the other. Alice was much more interested in playing *games...*

She was looking to take shelter with a pack, and made her way to the borders of Vale. There, she was met by Kotori, who told her a bit about the pack before agreeing to bring her into the pack. However, realizing how she would have to obey the strict rules of Vale, and fearing that her brothers would find her if she remained in one place for too long, Alice began questioning her place in the pack. When she spotted Shiloh and her small band of loners, she ran to them, seeing an opportunity to leave Vale and the lingering threat of her brothers.

Alice was eager to play on Shiloh's caring personality to gain her sympathy and protection. Constantly haunted by nightmares of her past, she remained with Shiloh and her small band, wondering, constantly, what made Shiloh's mind tick. She was so bold, so brave, so outspoken, and a *female*...challenging the misogyny present in the world? What was she trying to prove? Alice simply couldn't understand...

For over a year, Alice remained with Shiloh's band. The other she-wolves were Keeva, Rue, and Aydan, who she got along with alright. She often wondered why she remained, but feared her brothers finding her alone. She liked Shiloh (even if sometimes they butted heads), but the only male in the group, Magnus, got on her nerves sometimes. He was a no-nonsense type, and he saw Alice's manipulative and selfish nature clearly for what it was.

One evening, Alice was alone in the forest, some small distance from the group, when she was attacked by a large male wolf: Hidde. He slashed at her face with his forepaws, trying to get around her to grab her throat or neck, but Shiloh was quick to follow the male's scent to Alice and fight him. She wanted to kill him - they had a past, with Hidde being responsible for killing Shiloh's first love - but Magnus convinced her not to. Shiloh threw Hidde into a rapidly-flowing river and went to help tend Alice's wounds.

After the altercation, Magnus interrogated Alice about her past. Alice held her own against the male's questioning, refusing to tell him her secrets, but Shiloh interrupted and sent Magnus away. Alice revealed her past to Shiloh, then, and asked Shiloh to train her how to fight - to protect herself. Shiloh agreed, though not after trying to convince Alice that Magnus was the best option for a teacher. Alice was determined to have Shiloh teach her. Their conversation was interrupted when the rest of the group came running to see what had happened.

Another she-wolf joined the group: Belladonna. Bella and Alice flirted, similar in their coquettish personalities, enjoying teasing one another. However, Belladonna's past would catch up to her. An assassin from her old pack of Vektren, Hellion, tracked her down, and informed the group that he'd been sent to collect her heart. He bargained with Belladonna, however - if she produced a substitute wolf heart, he'd present that as hers to Vektren, and she'd be able to live freely.

This caused division amidst the band of loners - wolves who were willing to kill an innocent to save Belladonna, and those who weren't. Shiloh refused and she and Alice argued about it. Alice would storm off, and Shiloh told Belladonna she wasn't willing to kill an innocent. Several other members of the group were willing to help Bella, though, so while they took care of the situation, Alice took some time to herself.

Shiloh chased after her and the two fought. Alice criticized Shiloh's willingness to sacrifice the lives of the wolves already in the band for a newcomer, *especially* when she realized wolves were seeking to kill her. Words were said - some that could never be taken back. And Alice told Shiloh she was leaving, and wouldn't come back.

However, when Shiloh learned that Magnus had been potentially killed collecting this heart for Belladonna, she realized she couldn't afford to lose anyone else she cared about, and she ran after Alice. Alice was stunned to see Shiloh, but when she heard what had happened, the two made first steps to amends, and Alice decided to return to the group.

The group traveled for some time. Alice would meet Andromeda of Vektren, who decided Alice would be her 'passion project', but Alice quickly charmed her way out of the situation. Eventually they ended up in lands scorched by a volcanic eruption, long since passed - Old Fellfang lands. Shiloh would be disheartened here when a crow told her a pack with the word *fell* in the pack's name had been destroyed. Alice was heartbroken to see her friend to devastated.

The band of loners continued on, Shiloh feeling completely devoid of purpose and drive. No longer willing to be the 'leader' of the group, she more or less passed control over to Alice. Alice didn't want it, though.

The band of loners, now much looser in its organization and objective, continued to travel around the Domain. Alice and Shiloh grew closer than ever before, each feeling more than just friendship for the other. They each denied it, but Alice couldn't help the feelings she had for the brave she-wolf.

Eventually, word reached them that Riverfell was still alive. Shiloh, her determination and drive restored, led her band of she-wolves to the territory, and challenged the leader, Rhaegar (NPC) to battle for the title of leader.

The whole band went to battle against Rhaegar and his cronies. Alice held her own against a vicious male, but when she saw that Shiloh was *losing* the battle against Rhaegar, she flung her attacker off and sprinted to help. Fearlessly, Alice leapt upon Rhaegar's back and bit at his neck, causing him to release Shiloh. Alice screamed for Shiloh to get up and *fight* and, after a moment, Shiloh was able to stand and do just that.

Shiloh was established as leader, but grievously injured, and Alice was very protective of the she-wolf as she recovered, hardly leaving Shiloh's side. She was suspicious of everyone and everything going on in Riverfell, and Alice was quick to confront anyone new, such as Fawzie, who'd been sent to guard the den while Alice stepped out.

Alice hardly rested after the battle because of this. Always watching, guarding Shiloh from these new wolves. One of the pack's healers, Ruby, approached to ask her if she was alright, but Alice assured everyone that she was fine, just tired. Still, she was hurting from the wounds she'd received.

Still, both Alice and Shiloh recovered from their injuries, and one of Shiloh's first duties as the new leader was to celebrate with her packmates, the Quarter Feast! Alice took advantage of the celebrations to spend time with Shiloh in a lovely setting. The pair danced together with flowered vines under the stars. They almost confessed their feelings for one another - but they just couldn't. Still, they each shared how much they cared for the other, how much they'd come to rely on the other.

Shortly after the Quarter Feast, Shiloh approached Alice and asked her if she wanted to be her right-hand wolf: the pack's first beta. Alice was surprised, but accepted the offer. She helped to lead the pack through the Deep Freeze, leading hunts and helping Shiloh to keep things running smoothly.

When the thaw came, Alice and Shiloh took time to explore the territory, admiring the territory's spring beauty. In the safety of the pack, they were able to relax and let out their playful sides. Shiloh courted Alice by using Swiftwing, her feathered familiar, to bring her flowers.

But these playful spring and summer days would give way to a threat unlike anything the Domain had seen, and Alice and Shiloh had to be wary of strange white wolves that threatened the borders. They'd been on a walk in the Emerald Forest when the threat approached, and they took shelter, hiding under some undergrowth.

Alice led a patrol composed of Devina, Jedrek, and Rocko to scout a new trading post, and they discovered the bodies of some traders left around the area - killed by the Hive wolves. The four wolves quickly returned to report this news to Shiloh.

There were considerable trials facing Riverfell, as the Hive attacked wolves and threatened the borders, but Alice continued to be courted by Shiloh. During this time, Morgan (Magnus's real name) made amends with Alice. Alice admitted that she had been selfish and manipulative when they'd first met - Morgan had been absolutely right about that - but he told her that she was now trustworthy and brave, and he viewed her in a positive light now. This left her feeling free to pursue her relationship with Shiloh.

Their romance eventually blossomed with the admission of feelings one day in the winter, when Shiloh asked Alice to be her Queen, and Alice initially said no.

She didn't feel like she was worthy of being the mate of someone so brave and heroic, but admitted that she loved Shiloh so much it hurt. Shiloh assured her that Alice was the bravest wolf she knew, and Alice was worth loving, and all she wanted was to face the future with Alice by her side. Alice conceded, overwhelmed with joy, and they officially became mates.

How short-lived Alice's happiness was.

Only a few weeks after their marriage, Alice joined Shiloh in rallying their packmates to defend their territory, as a massive invasion by the Hive took place. Several wolves were killed in this battle, and many more would have been lost, if Vektren hadn't come to Riverfell's aid.

Unfortunately, Alice was one of those lives lost.

She died fighting for Riverfell, for the pack she had come to consider her family, for the wolf she'd remained alongside through the toughest of trials. Shiloh would be crushed by her death, as would the rest of her packmates, but Riverfell would honor her among the fallen.
