💙 Nareena

Nareena, Beauty Of The Snow

Fur like a glacier, icy cold. What everyone sees of her is only the tip of the iceberg. Her haters tried to shatter her, into shards of ice and frost. But, the broken pieces- once picked up, those broken bits, those frozen fractals- made her even more beautiful, refracting the rays of the sun, blinding those who tried to make her stumble and fall. She prevailed, and remains as beautiful as the snow; those freshly fallen layers that cover the icy tundra that she was born from.

Cast aside from her first pack because of resentment and jealousy, she fought her way, teeth, claw, and bone to her new home. She very nearly died in a spat with a pack of coyotes, covered in bite marks and blood. She had just about given up on her new life.

But that was when the beautiful wolf appeared to her, fur and skin as dark as coal, a benevolent expression on their face. The black wolf picked her up by the nape of her neck- as if she were still a small puppy- careful to avoid touching her wounds. She doesn't remember what path they took exactly, she only knows that she ended up on the floor of a cave, surrounded by tinctures, ointments, and salves. The black wolf had disappeared in the one moment she closed her eyes.

The old wolf, Flint, introduced himself to the badly injured Nareena, tending to her wounds. He assured her that he would take good care of her. He closed her torn skin, washed the blood out of her matted blue fur, and fed her.

Her coat eventually became sleek, and silky again, her body gained muscle tone- she hadn't even realized that she had become malnourished during her wandering, the time had all blended together in her mind, leading to her forgetting to eat.

Once she was healthy, wolves began to visit the herbalist's cave to greet her. There was Jess, the pack leader, asking Nareena about what accommodations she wanted in her new pack. There was Kierce, Jess's mate- who, she sadly never saw again. There were the endless streams of young pups, and wolves her age who came to greet their new pack member. She felt at home.

There were more of the pure-black wolves, and the one who saved Nareena introduced herself as Lyra, the first of the night sky wolves to join the Flux pack. Nareena expressed her gratitude for Lyra’s help, and promised to do all she could to help her new pack.

Flint, the herbalist took an interest in Nareena, teaching her the secrets of the land's herbs, which ones could heal, which ones could hurt, and in what proportions to mix everything together in order to heal. She was transfixed by the great ease in which Flint could craft cures and medicines of all sort. She knew that this was her calling, and listened to his words studiously.

Her Look

Add black stained limbs (60%) to the 7th slot, and white marbled unders (90%) to the 8th slot, and then change eyes to ice. Need 2 marking applicators, 5 GC each, and then probably 2 opacity changers, if the markings are at a totally wrong opacity once applied.
