Chaska is a dreamer, first and foremost. She dreams of a better world where justice is served fairly and the wrongs made by the Empire are righted. The positive to this trait is that she is typically forgiving of mistakes, as dreams can be interpreted differently by everyone. The downside to this trait is that this means she is not always living in the present and tends to stay in her own head quite a bit.
She is spiritual by means of her upbringing. Faith runs so deep in her family that her mother, Lilura, named her after one of the star goddesses, Chasta. Though this white she-wolf believes in deities that may or may not exist, she will remain loyal to them until her last breath on this plane of existence, because she believes in them. She believes the Stars have planned out the destinies of all living creatures and those destinies are not to be tampered with. She’s found that having faith takes away a large part of the worrying that comes with living life.
Chaska is deeply loyal to those she loves. Before her mother succumbed to the illness in her mind, Chaska was loyal to her and the family her mother told her they had. She was careful in keeping space from any strange wolves that were not of her pack. She was most loyal to her mother, and then her father before he passed. Her loyalty was not an issue until her pack was destroyed by the Empire. When it became only the two of them, Chaska’s loyalty transferred completely onto her mother. Now that her mother is gone and Chaska must find a way into the Empire, her loyalty to her first pack will be her downfall.
Chaska is naive and gullible, as she has no real world experience due to her being sheltered by her mother. Her dearest mother fed her lies from the moment the pack was destroyed. She stretched the truth and weaved in tales that’d been retold by a honeyed tongue. They were stories such as: the Stars had her siblings perish from illness and predators before the Empire crushed her pack, and that she was destined to rule the Empire and return the lands to peace and prosperity. She still believes those stories.
However, her mother did teach her daughter how to be a warrior, and a survivor. Her mother did truly believe that only Chaska could save the wolves from the oppression of the Empire, and she knew that her daughter had to know how to take care of herself, and how to fight if she was to do that.
History:
Lilura was once the great Queen of the SnowPeaks and the neighboring forests that surrounded it. Now she scavenged for hares and fended off mountain lions.
Her only living heir; a white she-wolf named Chaska, stood proud by her mother’s side and helped as much as she could in protecting what little was theirs. The white wolf was much better at fending others off, and as the years progressed, the duty of protecting the duo fell solely onto her.
Lilura knew age was catching up to her. The Stars had been kind in giving her strength during the years when it mattered most, but it seemed their kindness was running out.
“Chaska, you must promise me that one day you will undo the evil of the Empire,” Lilura snarled as she stood over the carcass of an arctic fox. She licked her lips as her daughter answered.
Chaska’s ears flicked back as she regarded her mother. “You know I promise. I’ve promised already.”
Lilura’s orange eyes hardened as she turned towards Chaska. Snow began falling from the sky again and the wind grew colder, or it felt like that at least. “But you must promise me.” Her orange stare softened then. “For the pack and for your father. You must undo them.”
Chaska blinked once before nodding her head. “I swear on my life, Mama. Even if I perish doing so, the Empire will fall.”
Perhaps at a younger age Lilura would have beamed at her daughter for speaking the perfect words, for having the right mindset and seeing the future that must come true. But Lilura did not beam now. In fact, she barely smiled.
“You were born for greater things.” She looked down at the fox carcass and then stepped over it and began walking away. “You deserve a feast.”
Chaska followed after her mother despite the hunger that ached in her stomach. “No, Mama, we deserve a feast.”
Lilura stopped suddenly and shot her eyes back at her daughter. “You deserve the crown.”
