Pet's ID Tag: 12
Name You'd Choose for It: Seran
Gender: Female
Reason You Want It:The minute I saw her I was completely drawn in. She was beautiful and fit the description for my darkness wolf pack. I loved her coloration and began seeing her as a mother figure for Inari, a previously adopted character. What if they had to go on a journey to seek others like themselves? Woud they prevail or would they fall? I have fallen in love with her and hope my reasoning is enough to adopt her.
History/Background/Other:Name: Seran
Gender: Female
Age: 600 Years old
Breed: Soul Wolf
Job: Spirit Guardian
Job Description: As a soul Guardian, it is her job to guide and lead souls until they chose to depart from this world. She has friends and even a mother to help her with this, however it is her Job alone to figure out which souls will go where and when they will go.
Markings:
Iallacha Fairy (Fairy Laces): The lace-like markings on her leg represent her roghnaithe cosán (chosen path), however as her true path lead the other way, they will darken and dim. Should she chose an chonair an dorchadais (the path of darkness), they will fade to nothing.
Iarrthóirí Soul (soul seekers): The dots on her forehead glow when a soul is near and this helps her choose wether to guide the soul or to let it drift to the Flaitheas seo chugainn (next realm).
Personality-
She is one that you can become friends with, and despite some wolves' opinion, she is one of the friendliest ones in the pack. This does not mean, however, that she is a pushover. If you try to force her to do something, you will be met with tooth and nail. However. deep down she is a softy that is the perfect nanny for pups. She is fiercely protective, and no harm will come to her charges.
"Laonna agus teaghlaigh a thagann sa chéad" is a saying she lives by most of her life, its literal meaning is "Pups and family come first." In her irish heritage, there is another saying however, "Is féidir le Love mairfidh gach triail, agus ní féidir ach ngrá leat a dhéanamh i gcrích go fírinneach." or "Love can endure all trials, and only love can make you truly complete." She believes in this saying, and lets it guide her in her life.
She believes in the powers of the moon, and legends of old magic, and sometimes, wishes she could use them. Sometimes she thinks she sees the fey but she is not sure. She does have some ties to the old magic through her family, but she does not understand how to use that magic, and cannot harness it.
She has been betrayed once before and though she has a light side, she also has a darker side. The beast within her that yearns to be free, and if shes is near death the darker side may come out. Despite this, she always sees the light side of things, and will allways try her best.
She dislikes humans and is glad her pack is not located on the edge of the untouched land like most. She does not want to face one and if one does wander into their pack-lands, which almost never happens, they quickly wander out again. She always tries to be her own person, however, and does not to be told of how she should be.
She always tries to be respectful even if the person who is trying to gain that respect does not deserve it. She is fair to all howeverer and tries her best in all endeavorers. She is trustworthy and that is perhaps one of her most defining characteristics. She can be a bit awkward and even a little shy at first but then she will become more open.
She loves everything that is alive because her job has her surrounded by death, and she struggles to hold onto life. She was a normal wolf at one time and her death had been hard on her.
She found herself enamored with the young small fox spirit, Inari, and decided to become like a mother figure to her, though they were not related by species. She cares greatly for the little fox, and it is when she is in danger that Seran is most likely to fight.
Likes:Ara is her best friend in the pack, and she loves her very much and would do anything for her. Ara is a true friend, and would stand by her through thick and thin. These two are usually inseparable, and where you find Ara, you can usually find Seran. Ara has always called Seran 'cara maith " or a good friend.
The old magic is a big liking for her because she truly wants to understand it yet she cannot. She has the ability to control it, if she could harness that power, yet, that eludes her. She can see the fey however and this brings her great joy and sometimes great sorrow as well.
The moon has always been a source of happiness for her, and often it has guided her in many of her endeavores. She calls it, 'shining draíochta', or shining magic, and in fact believes this is where most magic comes from.
Inari is a small fox spirit that she has become inamored with and would protect with her life.
Life is important to her because she is alway surrounded by death.
Dislikes:Humans are the main thing that she dislikes, and she tends to try to stay away from them. Luckily for her, the pack is in the center of the untouched lands, and not many humans come there. If they do, they sometimes quickly wander out again.
She really dislikes her position as a guardian, but this is the fate that the shaman of her pack bestowed upon her. The reason she dislikes it so much is because it could possibly put her in direct contact with humans, although, that is very unlikely. The only thing she does like about being a guardian is that it lets her be in contact with others, and possibly make more friends.
Her inability to harness her powers is one of the things she most dislikes. She does not like it because it means that she had to become a guardian instead of a shaman like she origanallly wanted. She can see the fey, but she cannot harness the power within them.
Song:
Citizen Soldiers- I thought this song perfectly, showed her role in the world, and with her job. She is a soldier of a different kind, a kind of guardian.

For my pack, this was all to true, we didn't notice the danger until it was too late. But for us, that danger came from within, a faolchu dearg was within our midst and we didn't notice until it was to late. At first, our laonna began disappearing and we suspected a rival pack, then the in aon áit eile began speaking of a cold shadow taking them.
We didn't know what they meant, so we paid them no heed. That turned out to be a mistake that we would pay for with our lives. Slowly, many pack members began going missing and we did not know what to do. We slowly began thinking the déileáil was among us and we began to be afraid.
One night we were asleep and I heard a shrill yelp. We were surounded by our own pack members! They were the déileáil and we had fallen for their acts. There were six of them, as our number had dwindled we had become out numbered. It was five to six and we had no hope of victory. As
Excerpt from Seran-Caomhnóirí SoulNuair a sheasann an domhain ar an imeall an snáithe

Ach tá a fhios ag gach cinneadh a dhroim
agus nach bhfuil gach dea-In the center of our planet there is a place nown as 'An Tailte untouched', or the untouched Lands... In these lands live many wild and wondrous creatures not many have seen in ages. This is my home, home of mo shinsir, and home of mo phacáiste. I have lived in these lands for centuries, as a guardian of the land. My duty is 'a chosaint' or to protect and I try my best in the job, though it is not 'de mo roghnú', or of my choosing. I'd rather not face the struggles many of my fellow omhnóirí face such as the duine. But this is mo chinniúint, thought I do not wish it.
I would rather be a shaman, or a person who used the d'aois draíochta, but the previous shaman deemed my inability to call upon mo draíochta as a hinderance and settled me as a caomhnóir. It would be my duty to protect the pack from harm and to fail was to titim ó onóir, or fall from honor. This is not something I wish to do, so I will always try my best even if I dont like it. I will follow the path of the shining draíochta and will not stray.
Thus is my path and I will live it."There is one to your D'fhág," shouted Ara, moving to cover me in that direction as the cinn log moved in from all sides. We were trapped and all I could do was hope my friend would get out alive. I was the one they wanted anyway, they knew I d'fhéadfadh a fheiceáil Fey and they thought I could harness that power. However. if I could, I would not be fighting them at all, I would be learning to use the power.
"Run away, Ara Déanfaidh mé iarracht a shealbhú chur orthu!" I shouted over their barks and she looked at me, stunned I would even think to try and face these creatures alone. "Rith anois!" I yelled at her and saw her back away from me. For a few seconds it looked like she would come back, but instead she leaped over their head and headed off in the direction of our camp, hopefully to get help.
Our world is one full of danger and dorcha draíochta, the cinn log- wolves with no soals left- have started taking over and us Caomhnóirí Spiorad are having a hard time controlling them. Luckily for us, we have the shamans, but those are born few and far between. Definitions for Bás Seran:Bás Seran: Death of Seran
