Welcome to Gaia! ::

I am Okami Amaterasu Shiranui, the great wolf spirit. I go most by Shiranui, a name of a sacred wolf in children's story tales. I have been born normal until my first full moon. As the moon light touched me a mark formed on my head, a red circle. Over the years the mark stayed, but new ones grew under my eyes, along my shoulders, and a few lines went along my back down to my tail. My fur is a brilliant white, but for the past years it has been covered in blood or dirt. The color is still a pure white, like the first snow of winter. During the first full moon my mother had panicked as the mark showed on my forehead. It was odd enough that my fur was white, but with distinct red markings I was a beacon for danger. The alpha had looked at me with wanting eyes knowing my marks meant something. He had nearly taken me away from my mother, but I saw my mother's scary side. The moon had shown brilliantly the day after when the Alpha came to collect me for his “collection”. ((Will explain what they are at end)) I didn’t know what was happening so when my mother snarled at the Alpha and our pack I had ran behind my mom’s legs whining. I didn’t know what would happen next, the blood that spread around the ground scared me senseless which made me cower behind small boulders. After the fight no one had died under my mom’s paws, just greatly wounded or blinded. She knew that if they took me that she wouldn’t see me anymore. Mom knew that I would be trained into something, a monster if they had me. After a moon I began to train with mother wanting to defend her from the pack that kept going at her. I learned fast and soon came on hunting trips bringing down big game with some help of mother. I can fight better than any other warrior, but I have toned my skill to use for hunting. As I grew I became a bit bolder and started walking around hunting on my own so my mother could rest. Only 6 months old and I can do more than my whole pack combined. One day I went to the river nearby to bathe and swim like any young wolf would do. I enjoyed the water greatly cleaning the blood from the recent scramble with the underwolves and the small animals hunted down. Some wolves came toward me snickering saying I was just a sweet thing, needed to be taught a lesson. I screamed for mother, but I heard other commotion from the cave we slept in. I screamed and snarled snapping at the wolves near me. I quickly subdued all three wolves and ran home hearing growling and snarling. I came home and saw my mother torn apart with blood splattered on the wall. I looked over to the 4 wolves chuckling saying my mother deserved to die for keeping me. Of course I bolted toward the one that talked and tore out his throat. It was the first time I killed one of my own, but it would be my last. I killed all 4 wolves with a few new marks on my skin. It already had many scars from other fights, but new ones would come soon. I buried my mother and buried the other wolves knowing I was the peacekeeper and the only one. I was meant to go to the “collection” and help bring peace to the pack, but I would have been only a pawn. There is a special group with markings like mine, but they are all different. One is a warrior who’s symbol is a dragon, his name is Yomigami. His skill with fighting has showed through his fur, he is the one with black fur and glowing yellow eyes. His marks are a bright purple, but only show as a slash mark over his right eye. Yomigami is the protector of Shiranui’s new pack, the one formed after the clash of the Red Tide Pack and the Underwolves. The second is represented by a tiger, his fur is brown and his eyes black, his name is Gekigami. His name is supposed to represent thunder and strength, but he is an amazing Mage. His skills are used to only bring protecting charms and a few other tricks he had learned on his own. He is still practicing with the other wolves and hopes to be as good as those mages before him, and he has their markings, ones that run down their legs, up their spine, over their head, and to their nose. The third and last wolf has white fur and bright blue eyes, her name is Kazegami. Her skill is speed which fits what her symbol is, the great horse. The three wolves are in her spiritual pack, ones that ride the winds and only see what happens. They only reappear when they are needed and only if I allow it. I am the great PeaceKeeper, my symbol is a mouse. I am small and weak, but I keep peace by smooth talking and healing. I can only heal with water, but if I need to with my own energy. I ride in heaven with my fellow packmates and enjoy the small dramas made by other wolves. Yomigami, Gekigami, Kazegami, and I Shiranui protect the lives of all. We do not judge on sides, but what your heart has to show.
