PERSONALITY
[Perceptive] [Resourceful] [Passionate] [Earnest] [Protective]
[Iron-willed] [Sheltered] [Prejudiced] [Cynical] [Zealous] [Spiritual] [Spontaneous]
Quick to laugh, quick to vex, and quick to forgive, Yael is a headstrong wolf who does nothing in part and everything in full. She was born with a spontaneous nature that not even her pack's stern rearing could quell. Living for the present moment, curiosity motivates the young hunter to learn as much as she can in pursuit of understanding the world and her purpose within it. Despite her family's diplomatic origin, Yael prefers physical work to politics. Her attempts to act like a proper lady have been met with some mockery for her lack of refined social grace. Instead, Yael dedicates herself to her task as a hunter. Her ambition results in a refusal to accept any standard short of perfection, making her highly critical of herself as well as others. She will rarely sit idle while a worthy cause remains unfinished. But ultimately it is her loyalty and duty to the pack that holds her fiery personality in check.
Despite being quite a talented huntress, Yael has a tendency to underplay her accomplishments and harbors disdain for those who show-off in order to feel accomplished. She finds fulfillment in caring for her loved ones and safeguarding her home. But the monotonous repetition of a day-to-day routine bores Yael and she yearns for challenge. Compelled by a desire to know more, she is prone to making swift decisions that her protective family would otherwise not approve of. She finds herself intrigued by those marked as new or different, so much so that she is willing to shed her skepticism in search of knowledge, particularly in her youthful years.
Despite her wandering mind, Yael remains staunchly loyal to her birth-pack and takes great pride in her parents' heritage. She clings to an idealized concept of brotherhood and seeks the approval of her elders. Yael is vocal when it comes to the pack's affairs, but hardly diplomatic, never quite choosing the right words to say. She is a wolf who speaks and acts more from her instincts and heart than anything else. She refuses to filter her speech, and has no qualms about voicing her truth or confronting her peers when necessary. In pack politics she is conservative, and rarely willing to see another side if it means challenging Fellfang's policies. But her strong sense of spirituality and tradition leads her to believe any sacrifice is worth making for the health of the Skuld. She is untrusting of outsiders, and prejudiced against those with vastly different ideals.
Among her brood, Yael is charismatic and inclusive. Her unyielding devotion makes her a trustworthy and loyal companion; a pillar of dependability for those she is close to. She's social, and takes a genuine interest in the affairs of her peers in a way that supersedes even the more quiet Jarl and Lady. Her desire to do good by the pack makes her a universal helper, choosing empathy over judgement whenever possible. She is quick to give her affection and loyalty to those who treat her in kind. Despite her amiability, Yael holds her cards close and hates feeling like she's being tested. She's much more comfortable in the depth of the shadows than the blinding center of the spotlight. Though friendly with most, Yael believes true affection is not made through random encounters.
Internally, Yael struggles silently to meet everyone's expectations- especially her own. A lack of healthy emotional expression leads to a great deal of repressed feelings and frustration, with a turbulent mind that never truly allows her to rest. Despite her self-doubt, Yael has inherited her Father's optimism and ultimately believes in the altruism of all creatures.

PRE-GROUP HISTORY
Born to the Jarl Fable and lady Polaris of Fellfang, Yael and her littermates were a beacon of hope during a dark period. A false God had imbedded herself within the Skuld and poisoned the pack's alpha. Fable's vulnerability made the pack a target to those members still loyal to the Dark rule, and soon they had dismantled all the new laws that Jarl Fable had erected, as well as cast out those who outwardly opposed the false reign. After months of chaos, a secret rebellion arose and plans for a counterstrike were set into action. The false God's lies were revealed to the entire pack and Fable's moral rule was finally restored. But the pack's liberty alone could not bring about peace, and even after its liberation, Fellfang remains a delicate structure. Yael is born in a time of skepticism and uncertainty, but she is also born to a time of great hope.

OTHER
- Yael has a fondess for avian life- magpies in paticular are her favorite bird
- Her favorite meal to eat is salmon
- Growing up on the shore has allowed her to become a strong swimmer and an avid fisher. She loves the water and hates feeling land-locked.
- Yael prays to the Spirits that she believes help govern the natural realm and guide the morality of the pack.
- She is generally unaccepting of outsiders, and holds Highvalley accountable for past atrocities to the pack.
- Pup Personality: As a social youngster, Yael is full of puppy mischief and wonder. Her curiosity and enthusiasm for the natural world extends into adulthood. She's overly-confident, despite not yet being sure-footed. She loves playing with her family and especially other pups. She's not at all fussy, much to her parents' relief, and is a very easy-going pup. Yael is always willing to answer the call for adventure, and never passes a chance to get into some harmless trouble. She learns through trial-and-error and rarely heeds her parents' many precautions. This pup has to learn of her own vulnerability the hard way. One of her favorite pastimes is listening to the pack elder's stories. Often times she can be found fantisizing about Fellfang's rich history and play-pretending she is a mighty heroine of the olde rule.
