Appearance

[Image: Cheiren_Reference_2021.png]

No scars | 31in.:.115lbs

Built lithe and gracefully, Cheiren is not exactly the image one might have of a healer in their mind. To most, a healer is an old & grey scruffy wolf - not a pretty young thing like Cheiren. Nonetheless, Cheiren is in fact a healer. It runs in her bloodline, with many of the wolves in her past following the art of healing. Her coat is a lovely mix of tans and browns, with a cape of dark brown flowing over her back - only broken up by a splash of russet and cream every so often. She stands at an average 31in at her shoulder, and weighs around 115lbs - giver or take a few pounds depending on the season. Her fur is soft and fluffy, even more so during the winter time when she grows her winter coat in during the colder months.

She bears no scars upon her pelt, though she often carries the scent of herbal remedies upon her coat. Though beneath the scent of herbs, she has a scent of wildflowers and morning dew typically.

Personality

Positive
❃ Cheerful >> 'noticeably happy and optimistic' Cheiren is a usually cheerful wolf, especially to those who know her well. She's always there to help cheer up a friend or packmate who might be down for whatever reason.
❃ Compassionate >> 'feeling or showing sympathy and concern for others' As part of how she was brought up, Cheiren learned compassion from her mother at a very young age after watching her mother's compassion for her patients that she healed on a regular basis.
❃ Generous >> 'showing a readiness to give more of something than is strictly necessary or expected' If you find yourself a friend of Cheiren, you'd soon find there are few more generous than she. If she catches anything, she'd offer it to a friend or packmate first before she even thought of eating it herself. And if she and another wolf are hurt, she'd offer to heal them before she tended to her own wounds.

Neutral
❃ Humble >> 'having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's own importance' Despite being rather skilled in her knowledge of herbal healing (or at least skilled to the best of her knowledge from her youth), Cheiren is more prone to aim to reflect compliments off of herself and onto others. She doesn't always feel like she's the best at anything, and often feels like she doesn't deserve compliments for doing her job.
❃ Fierce >> 'showing a heartfelt and powerful intensity' While Cheiren is a cheerful and compassionate wolf, she can be very fierce and passionate about things and wolves she cares about. She will always jump to defend her opinions or her friends.
❃ Guarded >> 'cautious and having possible reservations' While she can be fierce and headstrong in her opinions, Cheiren is also quite guarded about her emotions. She knows that she has lost her entire family, and is worried that showing too terribly many emotions could lead to her getting taken advantage of - especially if she wears her heart on her sleeve too often.

Negative
❃ Protective >> 'having or showing a strong wish to keep someone or something safe from harm' Cheiren is a very protective wolf, always eager to protect those she cares about - be it friends or just packmates. Even if she doesn't consider a packmate a friend, she will still be quite protective over them. After all, they are a valued member of the pack.
❃ Opinionated >> 'conceitedly assertive and dogmatic in one's opinions' As is common in her family, this russet girl can be quite opinionated! It can often cause her to be a bit abrasive to those who don't know her too well, and can sometimes put others off when this side of her shows through
❃ Stubborn >> 'having or showing dogged determination not to change one's attitude or position on something, especially in spite of good arguments or reason to do so' In keeping with her opinionated trait, Cheiren is also very stubborn. If you try to force her to do something, or change her opinion, it'll be met with quite a bit of resistance. With enough convincing, she could potentially change her opinion on something - especially if its backed up with enough facts.

History

Cheiren's mother was a gorgeous medic, one of a pack who was well known from their lands. Sólsetur had a habit of charming the warriors she helped heal after battles, but eventually began to develop a bond with one named Narinian Velariae. He continued to visit the medic, even when he had no need to do so. Eventually, the warrior got up the courage to ask Sólsetur's father if he could court her, as it was common practice in their lands to court a female before becoming mates. Since Sólsetur was the Lord's Medic (the attending medic who was on call for any ailment of the pack's Lord and Lady), it was required that whoever was to be a suitor of her be able to hold themselves with respect and nobility whenever in the presence of the Lord and Lady. However, Narinian proved himself worthy of becoming Sólsetur's bonded mate. Not a season later, it was discovered that Sólsetur was expecting a litter of pups!

When it was time for Sólsetur to give birth, the pale colored medic gave birth to a litter of three pups. She gave birth to two females and a male. Sólsetur and Narinian named the girls Cheiren and Elísabet, and the male Haarkon. The three grew up safe and respected within the pack. As the first-born pup, Cheiren was taught her mother and father's skills in both battle and healing. The three pups grew up loved and well-protected within the pack When Elísabet and Cheiren began to mature and grow into the beauties so similar to their mother, many males within the pack began to attempt to be their suitors. However, their mother would not choose a mate for them. They were to pick their own husbands. And in their culture, taking a husband was a sacred ceremony, one that required another ceremony to sever the bond between the mated pair, which was rarely done.

Soon, however, the Lord and Lady of the pack were caught up in a coup. Sólsetur and Narinian took their nearly 2 year old pups and fled, not wanting to be tried as criminals since they were so close to the royal family of their natal pack. The family of five headed out from the land. However, a snowstorm struck up a month into their journey, and the five ended up separated. Cheiren doesn't know where her family has ended up, but she found herself in the land of Canis. The rest of her story is yet to be written... (Last edited and updated 05/25/2021)
