Personality


quiet. Better at listening than arguing or conversing, Graham is often found in the background, in the shadows where he will be the least in the way and the most positioned for collecting information. His teachings from early on instilled a need to learn; for that purpose, speaking isn’t often necessary. burdened. Although he will not often do so aloud or in the presence of someone he doesn’t fully trust, Graham seems almost physically weighed down by expectation and duty. This manifests in both posture and personality; his body language tends towards submissive and stealthy, personality likewise subdued and quieted with small peeks into truth at certain moments. Any wolf that catches one of these moments should be considered lucky. respectful. Graham always speaks with respect to those around him, deferring to their authority if they hold even the slightest sway over his position. Even pups are treated with the same level of respect. intelligent, focused. A quick and thorough learner, Graham rarely misses a detail if fully focused, and is skilled at retaining information, calling upon a memory like a steel trap. He will remember something from months before, and this is especially detailed if another wolf’s emotions had been involved. trustworthy. If Graham promises something, he will be sure to make it happen, to his own detriment. The same goes for secrets. He doesn’t believe he has a place to share someone else’s quiet whispers, although can sometimes find himself torn if the secrets might go against his parents, or the Kol. persevering. Duck your head down and power on. Through his teachings Graham has learned that no matter how exhausted or mentally-spent one is, one can get through pretty much anything if they have the will. It’s one of the only things about himself that he is proud of. careful. Very little is done without intense planning and consideration, in an effort to mitigate mistakes and prevent injury. Graham will often apply this forcefully to others, admonishing them in frustration for taking unnecessary risks or injuring themselves for foolish reasons. sensitive, empathetic. Graham is heavily sensitive to the emotions of others, and this is perhaps his most meaningful saving grace; he cannot help but tune in and step in their shoes. He is typically benevolent, but oftentimes can feel bitter towards those that make him feel down, even though it’s hardly their fault. nervous. Overall, Graham is extremely flighty and nervous, often made anxious about things that others might find to be small worries. Almost anything can be a trigger, and Graham is still learning how to distance himself from stress to overcome his anxiety.

History


Graham was born one of three siblings to two dedicated, highly-religious Kol parents. The only male among two sisters, Graham fell somewhat into the background in personality - Vivienne was the star, eager to please their parents, and Delphine had an energetic nature. This was fine with Graham until Delphine’s disinterest in their parents’ teachings meant that he and Vivienne would receive a more focused attention. Vivienne was still the golden child, but Graham suddenly found himself also under the heavy eye of their expectations, Delphine left to frolic in her carefree ways.

Before their first year, sickness hit. The plague was violent and unforgiving, but somehow Graham escaped its clutches, separated from his littermates when both sisters fell ill and kept from them until they’d recovered. Delphine would pull through; Vivienne did not. Without their star child, the parents were torn apart, their hopes for children worthy of godhood largely dashed. After all, Delphine was distracted, and Graham had never been able to come out from under Vivienne’s shadow, even with her now gone. They doubled down on their last two children, but Graham took the brunt of it, falling with quiet acceptance into the role of chosen child. Their second choice.

The education did its job, but much of Graham’s remaining personality became subdued in an effort to finally please his parents. He was successfully taught to trust and strive to please Malaysia and the Kol, and to pursue the knowledge and understanding of the strange magics that came from the island. Whether he would wield magics himself or not, he could be of use to Malaysia by learning about the island, the source of the magic, and studying the effects other blessed wolves bore. Physically-inept but mentally-talented, Graham hopes to pursue the path of an Ocuuli for better access to magic-users, to the approval of his parents.

As a young adult still growing, with strict and forceful parents still about in his daily life, Graham has become a perpetually nervous, anxious wolf, who feels forced to act in every way how his parents would want. He seems to expect his every action to reach them somehow, and fears both their disappointment and his own failure in pleasing them. He is still young, however, so cracks in the mask are easy to widen, especially by those that remind him of his sisters.
