Date Available: As soon as she has been adopted

Name: Blizzard

Gender: Female

Age: 3

Rank: I guess she will be placed as Warrior, though she would try hard to rank up within Erenyx

Appearance:
Blizzard is a very feisty looking female, from the way her fur is full of tans and blacks to how her grey-amber eyes flicker around and her stern face, the fire within them burning into anything they come into contact with. There is a red mask around her eyes and the top of her snout, whereas white coats the underside of her muzzle, exaggerating the black of her lips. A ridge of black runs down and around her spine and her tail is completely grey and black. Dark wavy lines run through the russet of her sides, creating a flowy effect. Across her scruff and muzzle there are old minor cuts that have healed and the fur has not grown back properly, revealing the shiny healed over skin. She had inherited completely different genes from her brother, Eclipse, as her coat is lighter and has much different shades. Being quite a domineering character, she stands tall and her ears are almost constantly pricked up and swivelling to any sounds. She tends to run around like she owns the land she is walking on. Her legs are long and lean and her sides are not too thin. Her height is around 80cm to the shoulder, and 110cm along. A tail 50cm long and thickly furred hangs from her rump. She weighs approximately 80lbs when at her proper weight.

Personality:
Every wolf pup is born with a certain disposition. Some are shy and submissive, some are outgoing and dominant and others are somewhere in the middle. From the start Blizzard was always the one on top of her brothers, she'd wrestle them and be the first one to eat when food was brought. As she matured these things that were with her as a pup had developed into her personality, she was dominant, always made sure she got what she wanted and never showed weakness. Although, she is still caring and shows respect, but for that to happen you must prove to her that you are worthy. For her already being domineering and confident, if she is to submit to a wolf they must show themselves to be stronger than she is. She is not one to back down when confronted, though she wouldn't start a fight herself. Furthermore, despite being as she is, she does not look down on or have hatred for lower wolves who are shy or naturally submissive, like Eclipse, for she knows that some wolves must be like that to stop everyone from fighting over rank and to maintain balance. She's just a dominant and self assured wolf, not evil. An interesting fact about her is that she does have a phobia of running water, obviously since she fell and almost died in something of the sort before. She finds it embarrassing and doesn't like to talk about it or let others witness it. After the whole near death experience she gained a fire to her soul and a determination for survival. Blizzard enjoys the company of other wolves and the bonuses they bring, but she likes to have some "me time" as well. Quiet, respectful wolves are good friends for her because wolves too similar to herself would be a challenge and a threat.She always brightens up around her brother or similar wolves.

History:
Blizzard was born of two inexperienced wolves who had dispersed from their birth packs to start up one of their own. Their first litter consisted of an exceptionally large number of eight pups. The male was young and did not make a very good father; he did not know of hunting for the female, therefore she had to battle against her maternal instinct and go out and hunt for herself frequently, leaving the pups hungry, cold and unprotected.

5 died within the first 12 weeks, out of starvation, lack of warmth and straying from the den into the wrath of predators. The 3 survivors were Blizzard, her brother Eclipse and their brother. Blizzard was the most dominant, Eclipse was the middle easygoing pup, and their brother was weakest. With difficulty, they survived to become yearlings. The pups had began their training to hunt at 9 months and by the time they had reached one year of age they could kill smaller prey, though bigger game was rarely hunted by their small pack, so they never learnt how to hunt it.

However, they were quickly disowned and forced to leave and survive on their own, as their parents were desperate to have a new litter, with hopefully a lower mortality rate. The weak brother left quickly without complaining to find a mate. Blizzard though was furious with her parents. As she saw it they had made an awful job of raising her and her siblings by their foolishness of mating before they were ready and they did not even teach them how to fend for themselves with fighting and hunting properly. In a rage she sprung at her mother and a full on fight broke out between them, until Eclipse came and dragged his mother away, getting his ear mauled by her. After many arguments and scuffles the parents still refused to let them stay. Her final words to her parents were "You are clueless leaders! Don't you know we could help you care for the new pups? Oh wait, that would be too many mouths to feed by you petty hunters" She turned and padded away and her brother followed, not wishing to stay another moment with them without others around. Strangely, Eclipse and Blizzard left together and vowed it would stay that way. They survived roaming around unclaimed territories until Winter arrived. As they headed off each day to track the food the snow covered landscape and the winds washed away the well known sights and scents, leaving the young wolves lost.

They followed any prey they could, straying further and further from their home ground. The two formed a strong, caring bond. As their parents had never named them, they named each other. Eclipse named his sister Blizzard, for she was very determined, overpowering and cold. The pair lived like this until the following Winter when there was extremely cold weather. They were forced to cross an icy cold river to get to lands with more abundant prey. Blizzard was hunched, ready to pounce across the water. Sure, it was wide, but she reckoned she could make it. Springing herself forward from her hind legs, her focused eyes glanced up as she heard a bark from her brother, a bark of danger. The claws on her forepaws grazed the bank she was trying to land on, but not enough to haul herself up.

Quickly slipping off, her body splashed loudly onto the surface and through into the freezing grip of the liquid. Desperately her mind told her to paddle to her brother but her muscles were paralysed for the water was so unbelievably cold. Eyes, wide in shock, frantically searched around for something she could do, looking around so fast her vision was blurred. She caught a hazy form of Eclipse racing up the bank to get to her. Her poor, innocent  brother who had always stuck by her could do nothing as he chased alongside when her sodden pelt drifted downstream fast with the current. Her eyes, wide with fright, met his. She yelped loudly for help that Eclipse physically could not give. Finally her head sunk underwater and she disappeared from view, the last of his whines drowned from her.

The next thing she recalls is that she gained consciousness and pushed her head over the surface and her body hit the bank. Flickering eyes snapped open and she dug her claws into the soft sediment. Exhausted as she was, she was always determined and she mustered up just enough energy to haul herself up over the bank and flopped to the floor. Small cries came from her but the sibling had already stopped trying to find her. So she laid there, hopeless and shivering, expecting to die from the merciless wind chilling through her soaking, cold pelt.

Fortunately she survived. Quickly enough she forgot about her brother as she considered finding a mate and making her own pack. Every now and then she had time to hunt, whenever she wasn't watching her back from bigger predators and pack wolves. Blizzard enjoyed sneaking into pack territories and stealing food to save her energy and if a wolf caught her in the act and dared to approach her snarling over the carcass she would not hesitate to lash out at them. She soon learnt how to fight and hunt better. After more than a year of loneliness and failing to find a suitable mate she travelled with a purpose: to find a strong pack who knew how to use her abilities best and where she could fulfil a role that she deemed right for her, which she would fight for if necessary.

Giving away Halis so I can adopt her.-Aria

Blizzard stared across the river, were there were more prey and she could live in happiness. It was wide, but the beautiful she wolf thought she could pounce across easily. Her hind legs got ready to push her up, and she jumped, with her hind legs pushing her into the air, her eyes focused on the other side of the bank.

A bark from her brother made her slightly unfocused, and her claws dug into the land, grazing it but not digging into it. Although she struggled, the water pulled Blizzard into the freezing water easily, and moved her slightly, without her help. She wanted, no, needed, to paddle to her brother, to save him from making the same mistake, but she couldn't.

"Eclipse..." The word slipped from her maw as she saw her brother try to rescue her. But he couldn't, and her vision went black.

When she woke up, she looked for her brother before it all came back to her. She struggled up to her paws. She needed to find Eclipse. But first, she needed to make sure she was okay.

Blizzard looked at herself, and found plenty of wounds from were rocks had grazed her. She licked herself and looked around for her darker brother. Eclipse was not here, and she could not hear or smell him, which lead her to believe he was dead.

Blizzard raised her snout and let out a long, unwavering howl, mourning for Eclipse. Grief filled her, and she laid down and waited until she saw the moon, and let out another howl. The moon shone coldly, but Blizzard shook her head and closed her eyes.

"I miss Eclipse." Blizzard mumbled in her sleep, and her ears pricked up at the sudden voice. She opened her eyes and looked around for the owner of the voice, but couldn't find one. It was just her.

The sun was shining, so Blizzard decided to set off and look for Eclipse. Then she remembered, and she howled again. The warmth from the sun was nothing to her without her brother by her side.

"Eclipse, why did you have to go so soon? Our journey wasn't over." Blizzard said softly, and walked away from her resting place. Her scars hurt, but not as much as missing Eclipse. She was a lone wolf now.

She ignored her hungry stomach and kept walking until she couldn't stand it. She raised her head and sniffed the air, finding a rabbit. Blizzard snuck up on it and killed it, before eating it.

"Better. Now I can go." Blizzard said, and walked away from the rabbit, looking at the distance. With a shake of her fur, she set off to find a pack, and hopefully forget about her brother. But she was still alone, and always would be.

The vibrantly fire-colored fae stared out across the land before her, her amber eyes swiveling across the horizon. Out there was the future, out there was her chance to start over. She had no idea where her beloved brother, Eclipse, was and had no way to find out. She was strong, she was confident, someone would respect that and she would start her own life. Without listening to Eclipse's sage advice every few minutes. She could do this, all she had to do was find a brute who would listen to her, and then start a pack. How hard could that be?

She padded forward, leaving her past behind as she left the river behind her. Though she was confident and strong, a small lingering doubt clouded the back of her mind. Would she ever see her brother again? Was she truly making the right decision? She put aside these doubts, and pushed onward. She would forge her own life with tooth, claw, and fiery determination. One way or the other, she would be what she deserved to be: strong and independent.

MESSAGE DELETED

Thank you! I look forward to roleplaying her.

Due to inactivity of the chosen roleplayer, Blizzard is again up for adoption. If you would like to play Blizzard please post your example post below. If none are posted within the following week or so then Lead Caretaker Alanoth may play her if he so wishes. Thank you!

I'd gladly take her. I'll post the example in a bit.

A breeze tugged at the fae's coat, making her shiver violently inside. She muttered at the cold, full of melancholy. She was all alone. Her dainty, nimble paws turned this way and that, gracefully moving through the trees. She began to race along, muscles pumping under her fur. Her deep lead colored optics searched in front of her. Feeling adrenaline flood her veins, she pushed faster. Slowing down when the scent of rabbit filled her nostrils. Crouching low to the ground, she creeped forward lightly on her paws. The creature raced off and she's snarled, racing after it. Her paws reached out and injured the animal, making it slow so she clamped her jaws around it's small body. Hearing bones crunch, she was satisfied and sat down on her haunches to dig in. When she was finished, she licked her ebony kissed lips and rose to her feet. Bowing in a stretch, her muscles rippled and she curled her salmon pink tongue in a yawn. Getting bored, she wandered back to the camp to find a friend to talk to.


As soon as she saw her brother, a grin passed those ebony lips of hers. Her deep grey orbs brightened and she trotted over to him, long legs giving her speed and balance. She head butted him gently and laughed a bit, being in a good mood. She tackled him and asked,"Give up yet?" and got off when he said yes. She then calmed down a bit and padded over to the den to get a bit of sleep. She laid down, curling up against the cold with her thick lead and obsidian colored tail over her nose. If you looked at her now, you would see a russet, obsidian, taupe, and cream colored ball of beautiful and thick fur with covered up scars along her face.

She entered a dream, looking around at a flowery meadow. She sniffed the air, smelling familiar scents of her pack mates. They didn't smell right. She raced across the meadow, legs pumping and muscles rippling as she neared camp. She heard yelps and snarls, with just added to her adrenaline and speed. She stopped when she saw a living nightmare. Her own pack ripping there selves and others apart. She saw foam dripping from their fangs. Seeing the alpha eating his own leg, she retched. The nightmare seemed to get worse as Omega Kaala lunges at her. The night mare ended with that, and she woke up in cold shivers.

Feeling parched, she trotted towards a river. Forgetting her fear, she followed her erect auds to the sound. Now fully awake, she yelped at the running water on front of her eyes and backed away quickly. She stepped over a branch that snapped, and she turned around with a growl. She looked annoyed at the branch and found a puddle nearby, lapping up the cool water with her salmon pink tongue. Satisfied, she headed back to camp to go back to sleep. Crickets chirped around her and fireflies lit her fur, illuminating her pelt in a glowing pale yellow light.

Amber, what you have so far is good, but always try to write as much as you can to show off your roleplaying skills! Also, from your example post I cannot tell if you have read through the information: personality, history etc. so perhaps include something specific about that in there. Lastly, I'm curious, will you be making your own character as well or are you just hoping to adopt Blizzard?

I'll definitly do that! And if I don't get Blizzard, I'll make my own character.

Better?

Your post is perfectly good and since Alanoth has not been around, I now officially allow you to play Blizzard!

Go into your profile and edit your username to 'Blizzard' and use a similar photo to the one provided for her as your avatar picture. Then you can follow the usual rules to post at the Erenyx border when you're ready. Congratulations!

Thanks!
