Username: hellohihiWhat Will You Name This Wolf?: Ever wrote:Hello. I'm Ever, and my name can mean a lot of things depending on how you interpret it. For instance, it can mean Ever After, as in a happy ending, Evermore, as in forever, Evergreen, the life that never dies, Everlasting, that which lasts forever, or it can be spelt as Ether, a medicine which shares it's name with 'A place in the clouds'. I hope my brother's there, now...

What Is This Wolf's Personality?: Well, Ever is a kindhearted wolf, who is very friendly yet somewhat shy. She prefers to sit on the sidelines and watch, rather than fight or play. Or at least she would, if she had time to. You see, wolves are meant to sleep between sixteen and eighteen hours per day, but Ever only usually manages between eight and twelve, as she is usually studying new medicines, looking after her patients or thinking about her brother. She is very peaceful, however she doesn't like to become to attached to anything, due to her history. She's a thinker, and when she's not working, studying, thinking about her brother or replaying that dreadful moment in her mind, she's thinking. She thinks about her future, her past and the present. She thinks about what she could have done to save her brother, and those around her. She blocked out the world at one point, but now that she's back, she doesn't communicate to others very often, she prefers just to get on with what she is doing.Ever wrote:Only my brother...
She can seem quite distracted, but at those times, she is either on task or replaying that fateful time to herself, over and over and over again.Ever wrote:I could have saved him...
She is very wise, which is probably the effect of spending 80% of your time thinking.
Also, she hates suffering, that's why she became a doctor, so she can help others. If she helps them, they don't suffer and neither do their loved ones.Ever wrote:Loved ones... I blocked them out long ago. That way, I don't suffer either... I hate suffering...
Sadly, her nightmares still haven't gone away, and all they say is:Nightmares wrote:You could have saved him. You could have, but you didn't. You killed him!
however it is very rare that Ever speaks of them.What Is This Wolf's History Like?: Ever's history started out very well; she was the younger of two alpha pups, the eldest being her brother, Conall. The two were very close, and Ever's brother even said that he would step down from being the alpha for her, although Ever knew that if he did that, she would refuse the position, as she had never thought herself worthy of leadership. Conall was a great and honorable warrior of the pack, and so she didn't see him as often as she'd have hoped, although whenever he returned, he brought back many a gift for her, from far away territories she'd never heard of. Whilst her brother wasn't with her, she studied, in hope of being a hunter as great as her brother was a warrior. She turned away from healing as though it was nothing. One day, however, Conall didn't come back, even though he was meant to be at a nearby river bank tracking an enemy pack, so Ever's parent went out to find him, and Ever, wanting to show Conall how skilled she'd become, followed behind, keeping to the undergrowth.
When they got there, however, they found Conall exactly where he said he'd be. He was laid down, and Ever couldn't understand why he wasn't going home, until she saw his leg. It had been torn from his body by ruthless jaws, and was bleeding badly. He was speaking softly, but Ever couldn't hear what he was saying, so she crawled a little closer, only to topple down the embankment, landing right in between her parents and Conall, who said:
"Ever... You are getting good at sneaking around, aren't you? ...I'd bet you'd beat even me. I think you'd better go home, now. I love you."
"But, if I'd learnt healing -" replied Ever.
"You're only one, most six year olds can't ever tie a tourniquet. Please, go home."
"But-"
"Now!"
It was the first time he'd yelled at her, and she stepped backwards in shock.
"I'm sorry, but plea..." he said, his words trailing off as his eyes closed and his body fell limp. Ever, stunned, stood for a second before sprinting away in a random direction, tears streaming down her face, dappling her fur with silver droplets.Ever wrote:He had never shouted at me like that... I hate to think that his last moments were spent angry at me... I thought that seeing as it was his last wish, I should go home, but then I realized that without him... There was no home anymore.
Two days later, Ever was found by her mother, huddled in a pool of tears under a bush. She was shuddering, and her mother picked her up and cradled her in her arms.
"Shhh, don't cry, it's OK." she said in that soft, velvety, comforting voice that a mother has. Ever sniffed and said
"But it isn't. Conall's gone, and if I'd taken up healing, I could have saved him! It's all my fault!"
"No, healing takes years of practice, and you're just a pup. Don't worry, you'll be fine." Then, she started to sing,
"When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet, silver song of the lark..."
Ever opened her huge, purple eyes and saw everything in her mother that she had in Conall.Ever wrote:In that moment, I looked at my mother and saw all that I ever loved, everything I needed, and realized that I couldn't bear to lose her, too.
"No - I can't lose anyone else!" she said, and wriggled from her mother's arms and ran away.Ever wrote:So, I ran. It was the only thing I felt good for. I didn't look back, because I knew that if I did, I would return to my childhood home, which I swore never to do.
"Why, yes, but... Where do you come from, little one?" asked the alpha of the pack Ever had found.
"Good, now I'm a part of this pack, can I learn healing?" said Ever, ignoring the alpha's question.
"Yes... When would you like to start?"
"Now. How do I tie a tourniquet?"
~
Ever's future started from there - She had joined a new pack, and ensured that she knew how to tie a tourniquet. At the age of two (Wolf) years, she became the pack's official healer, as she never wanted anybody to suffer as she and Conall did - mentally or physically. When she was three years old, the beta male of the pack fell dangerously ill, and Ever nursed him back to health. As a reward, the alpha and beta decided to give her an outstanding gift: her feathers and wristband. These were found, left by a strange, two-legged species, and are the greatest gift they had to offer. They are Ever's greatest treasures, and she is never seen without them. Ever wrote:Ah, yes. Some time after I enrolled at my new pack and became a healer, the beta fell ill. I was given my feathers. My greatest treasures, you called them? No, they are more than that... I'm not sure how I would describe them. They were found by warriors, like Conall. I tend to stay away from them, they bring back too many memories.
Now, at the age of three and a half, Ever is still the healer of the pack, but generally tries not to become attached to anything, in case she should lose it all over again. At night time, she goes to her favorite spot on a rocky outcrop, and sings to her brother.Ever wrote:He's there somewhere, I know it.
Does This Wolf Have A Theme Song?:Actually, no. Personally, she thinks that no song could express her feelings, her actions or her life.
Anything Else?: Little extras...
Height at shoulder:
28.2 inches exactly
Favorite colour(s):
Black, white, blue and a sunset-like golden orange.
Ever wrote:I like black because it reminds me of emptiness, Conall, and suffering. It keeps me sane.
White is a good colour because it puts black to rest, and makes me think of heaven and the good things in life.
Blue is a really nice colour because it makes me think of the sky. Conall will be there somewhere, I know it.
Ah, the sunset golden-colour. I don't know why, but I just love it...
Favorite sound:
Songs, by other wolves, and running water. It's soothing...
