 "Don't you know it's all the rage
To hate yourself sometimes
I'm not always okay
Feeling like I've got one foot stuck in the grave
I never end up saying what I mean"

「PERSONALITY」
Melody is not the wolf she once was. Long gone are the days of patient smiles and puppy-like play. She has become a withdrawn and associative shadow of who she has once been, not often present in reality and unable to return to focus without a rare miracle.
Having suffered an extreme amount of trauma, Melody copes by being lost in her own world. She is not present, nor can you force her to be. Somewhere along the way her brain simply removed itself from reality and created a different existence to survive within. Everything is a haze, frankly, and Melody struggles to feel anything beside the overwhelming and honestly comforting emptiness. One might ask where she goes mentally, but Melody doesn't exactly go anywhere. Her own little world is a dark abyss she hides within, unstimulated and undisturbed.
This means the world moves around her as she fades in and out of phases of clarity. Sometimes, she's gone completely. Other times she might register those close to her and nestle into the ones she feels safe beside. Very rarely, usually only once a week or less, she snaps back into the world. It can be a frightening experience for her, as suddenly her dark abyss is torn from her and she can see the world around her again. Memories flood back and Melody feels the strain of all she has endured in its entire velocity. Those moments of returning to the world can result in a panicked and frightened wolf who struggles to understand what is happening and where she is until she eventually fades back into the oblivion.
On an instinctual level Melody seeks out those she cares for. Her brother Strife rescued her from her trauma and she often can be found beside him. She naturally gravitates to those she cares for deep down, even if she isn't truly looking at them most of the time. Melody does not speak anymore, either, making communicating with her just straight up frustrating. She's not easy to get to know and she probably won't ever be.
Melody is more likely to return to the world when it's raining. Something about the sound truly grounds her.
________________________________
「FEARS」
█ || Reality ⋯ It was all too hard -- all too much. She doesn't want to go back.
█ || Being Alone ⋯ Truly alone. The kind of alone where the ones you love are gone in the dirt.
________________________________
「LIKES」
█ || Quiet ⋯ It's best when everything is quiet and still.
█ || Flowers ⋯ The smell is especially relaxing.
█ || Rain ⋯ It's comforting and masks the sounds around her.
█ || Touches ⋯ She likes to be in physical contact with the ones she loves. It lets her know they're there.
________________________________
「DISLIKES」
█ || Loud Sounds ⋯ It hurts her head.
█ || Talking ⋯ Even when she returns to reality she doesn't speak. Something about it feels too permanent.

「BIOGRAPHY」
█ || Puppy ⋯
Born into a cruel and abusive pack, she was not planned. Her mother had been a rogue and was tricked into falling in-love with a member of the pack. Once pregnant, she was convinced to meet him at the pack. This is where she was captured and kept within the prisoner dens for the rest of her life. She gave birth under great stress and only two puppies survived; Melody and her brother Strife. The puppies were kept in the prisoner dens for quite some time before eventually their father snatched them from their mother and forced them into training.
Melody was trained to work with plants and healing. It wasn't uncommon for Melody to patch up her brother after intense training sessions.
________________________________
█ || Adult ⋯
Melody caught the eye of the Alpha, and while she attempted to gently slip away from any courting her brother began to take great offense. After another wooing attempt that clearly made Melody uncomfortable her brother lashed out and struck the Alpha. Their punishment was immediate; their mother was publicly killed.
Melody fell into a deep depression as hope for a choice in life began to dwindle. Her brother began looking for ways to escape. Strife did not find one fast enough, as the Alpha eventually became sick of waiting and announced to the pack he'd marry Melody. Strife lashed out, again, and ended up in a physical fight with several of the pack members. The Alpha had every intention to kill Strife, and without him around Melody would be lost in a world without her family. So Strife made a hard choice; he fled.
With her brother gone Melody had little hope to escape her fate. She still tried once, and exactly once. It had stung enough for her to break her morals and slip sleeping medicine in the packs food during the celebratory feast, but it hurt more when they caught her in the nearby forest. Melody was kept within the prisoner dens the days leading to her wedding. She was tossed into the Alpha's den the night before her marriage, and by then Melody had slipped into her own world.
That very night her brother returned, alongside a pack wolf who wished to free the prisoners. Siege and Strife managed to sneak out the prisoners and found her. Melody followed her brother with unfocused eyes, but something in her knew her brother had returned for her. She barely responded even when they successfully fled the pack lands.
Strife was aware he'd have a bounty on his head in record time, and so he brought Melody to the Crows and pleaded they take her in. She was accepted without a trial, as within the first glance Big Bad was able to see her state. Strife went through a trial and, coincidentally, Siege also joined.
Melody became the first member to lack a role. The Healers worked on helping aid the wolf, but Melody did not show progress. During this time she'd wander off, only to be retrieved by her brother eventually.
It was one of those wanderings that caused her to bump into a large and curious Berserker named Hysteria. Something about Hyseria radiates safety, and Melody seemed to gravitate to the outsiders energy.

「RELATIONSHIPS」
█ || Strife ⋯ Male ⋯ Brother
Her dearest brother, the one who loved her enough he would have welcomed death. Melody loves him, completely and truly. He is her last family, and if anything happened to him her fragile state would crumble where it stood. He radiates a warmth and love she is pulled to, resulting in her often sitting close to him even if she isn't sure where she is.
________________________________
█ || Hysteria ⋯ Female ⋯ ???
Who is she? She's... nice. Something about her feels good to be around. Melody cannot explain what it is this wolf exudes, but it's enough to get past the abyss and interest her.
