History

Like a shadow, I am and I am not. - Rumi

It’s difficult to know exactly where she comes from or exactly what she’s been through. Her history is a thing she keeps close to her chest and even those who come to know her best may not know of what she’s seen during her short life. When asked, she speaks of lives she believes she’s lived before. It’s a habit she’s had from the moment she appeared within the pack and most believe it’s all fantasy woven from the dreams of a child’s overactive imagination.

Her stories have aged alongside her. These days, they come to include more details and more emotion with plots of intricate complexity. And like they always have, many may pass her off as an escapist. There is speculation that it’s all a method of deflection, a way to protect herself from a question that might prod at something painful she’d rather not remember, if she can remember it at all. Or maybe it’s just a game, something to keep her peers ever guessing; it’s impossible to know for sure.

But none can deny the air of mystery that surrounds her origins. Not a soul can seem to recall where she came from and without a single family member to speak of, it seems as though she appeared out of thin air. Some may speculate that she’s the abandoned whelp of a loner, yet her intimate understanding of pack culture seems to tell a different story.

Personality

She became whoever she needed to be to survive,
but she never let anyone else define her. - Jodi Picoult

The following is outdated. Some traits described may be inaccurate.

While generally laid-back and easygoing, she’s by far one of the more approachable wolves within the pack. Meeting new faces is typically something she enjoys regardless of how the encounter goes. With new faces she can be shy and proper, but seasoned friends are shown a different face- one that is wild and teasing and wrought with care both tender and bruising. Experiencing the minds and presence of other island-dwellers provides an atmosphere in which she can thrive, but she’s equally content to spend time alone and even goes out of her way for a little isolation now and then.

Ravenous for knowledge and infinitely curious, she seeks to fill her life with as many new experiences as she can possibly find. She’ll try anything at least once and generally proves to be a quick study when learning new skills. Her interest in these various subjects can prove to be fickle, however. A new trade may be dropped only a week after she’s begun to attempt it in favor of something else that’s managed to ensnare her attention.

Yet fickle is not a word to be used in regards to her relationships with other wolves. Vashti is as loyal as they come and in some ways the intensity of her loyalty has the capacity to do her a disservice in certain situations which may prove conflicting. Still, once her trust and love has been earned, the well-being of another precedes her own and the individual will find her to be infinitely generous and forgiving.

The girl’s awash with contradicting traits that somehow manage to find harmony within her dark figure. She harbors a fire and is more than willing to brandish it against those who would seek to subdue her. Intensely independent, she will viciously quarrel with any who might attempt to control her; it isn’t outside of her ability to be as spiteful and venomous as a serpent. And like the adders of Almos, she is stubborn and proud. Criticism is not always well received and sometimes she’s deaf to sound advice. Although she’s aware of the problem and often reels herself in when she recognizes the pattern, she’s still a hot-headed youth who often thinks she knows more than she does.

Confident and fearless, the young wolf will often throw herself into fights and dangerous situations without a thought to her safety. Even in civil, social situations, she wears a cloak of bravado, but so much of it is a facade. Certainly she’ll risk her life for her loved ones and doesn’t fear a bit of pain, but there are deeper and less valiant motives at work in most cases. Vashti is haunted by a deeply ingrained sense of worthlessness and shame that haunts her daily. For crimes known only to herself, pain and bloodshed seems to be a penance for a debt she will never be able to fully repay and the confident air she keeps about herself is typically little more than a frail shield behind which she hides a terrible internal wound.

Minutiae

• Vashti does not give out her name freely and thus far, she has gifted it to only a handful of wolves she's met. Unless she has offered the information via roleplay or it has been discussed between players, it is not likely that other characters will be aware of her true dubbing. Instead, she offers false names when she must and prefers allowing others to name her.

» So far, only Loch & Killian have been given her true name.

• Elusive by nature, it isn't uncommon for packmates to be entirely unaware of her presence among their number. However, she is curious. Inquisitive tendencies paired with a deep set loneliness often leads her to follow and watch certain individuals or family groups from a distance.

• Though strongly aware of the Tundes placid customs toward the dead, Vashti is an opportunistic cannibal. Circumstances of her life have led her to believe that eating from the bodies of deceased wolves gives her strength and longevity. Many instances, though purely coincidental, have even proven these ideals to be true and thus concreted her faith in the belief. This habit of hers is known only by her ward, Loch, who happens to encourage share the ghoulish creed. Together they indulge the ritual whenever they may do so without risk of being found out.

• First encountered her magic within a dream she experienced shortly after she came across an unusual scene of death .
