Name: Vala Arrie (Vah-la Are-ree')
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Patrol: White Shadow
Rank: Private
Height: 5'4
Weight: 120 lbs
Hair: Short and spikey, Vala has black hair but tends to dye a stripe of white into her bangs on the left side of her face, enjoying the contrast in the colors
Eyes: Dark Purple
Skin: Olive
Personality: Vala can be described in many ways, but enthusiastic and laid back are probably the first that will come to mind. A friendly individual, she is able to make friends with people she has just met, if they are of the right mind. Vala tends to attract people who are exciting, different and sometimes odd, you know- just the type who could be considered somewhat rebellious. It was never a problem for her to snuggle herself into the ranks of people around her, and more than likely, her name would be known because of her eccentric actions.
The freedom to do things in new and interesting ways brings out her natural inventiveness, allowing her to come up with her outlandish and unconventional ways. Vala is an individualist, but is often found supporting movements that emphasize social betterment, and will devote time and energy to their efforts. Very fair- minded and somewhat objective, she has extraordinary skills at organization and administration, despite her childish outer casing and very apparent clumsiness. Although she understands and (for the most part) adheres to the Ranking rules, Vala will always find it hard not to treat the higher ups like she would anyone else. But she does stick to them, barely.
Most of the time you'll find Vala laid back and willing to go with the flow of time and things, and even though it seems that little gets to her, be assured... that inside, she feels just as frightened or angry as anyone else. She just lets the pent up emotions out through physical activities later on.
History: Vala was the oldest of two children, and definately the most troublesome of them all. Although her family loved her dearly, they easily got annoyed with the numerous amounts of things her curiosity got her into. Her mother, Ranalda, and her Father, Valdimere, tried their best to deal with their inquisitive daughter. When her brother Valoren was born, his conception had been a surprise to the whole family, Vala began to settle down and take a more active role in helping her mother with the baby. Ranalda had been disappointed when Vala showed no interest in Painting or Farming, hoping that their Oldest would follow in their footsteps, but Valoren began showing talent in painting at an early age. Vala, never the one to get jealous or angry, happily shifted her attentions onto helping her father once her younger brother was a child. It was around that time she began learning how to play the flute, and in turn, the piccolo. Playing tunes for her father while he worked, and there was nothing else for her to do. Modest about her musical talent, Vala never flaunted the fact she could play the instruments, prefering to keep her years of practice under wraps.
Centipede attacks were something she became accustomed to, but it was when she first saw a Wolf that Vala became fascinated with the whole practice. At Eleven years, Vala wasn't old enough to join the Academy, but that didn't stop her from working on her parents night and day for the next year. Finally, after much persuasion on her part, Vala's Father signed her up at the Academy when she was old enough to meet the age requirements. It was hard work, even harder for a twelve year old, since Vala basically went through the hardest portions of her life while in the Academy. Almost failing out of her academic classes, at fourteen and sixteen, the Recruit began to shape up and work harder in her studies and training. It wasn't until late into her sixth year that the Drill sergeant grudgingly admitted she was ready, for despite the lack of attention in her lessons, they had found that Vala a strong empathy toward wolves.

She approached the cave with a smile, elated that her Drill Sergeant had /finally/ accepted the fact she was just as good as the rest of her classmates. Sure, her attention-span for certain things was limited, but when it came down to it she always gave it her all. "So Vala, you think you're going to Bond?" Giving the other Recruit a shrug, the young woman rocked back and forth on her heels, excited for the young wolves to make their first appearance. Time seemed to slow down, and the anticipation was just about killing her... when the first of the pups exited the cave.
The burgundy colored Wolf didn't stop for more than a few seconds to take in the other possible Rider Candidates, no, it cut a path through the others stopping directly in front of... Vala. Startled as the female adolescent shoved her nose into her belly, the black haired girl squawked and fell backward, receiving a not so friendly look from the watching Drill Sergeant. /You sure are clumsy. I thought your strong mind would um... uh... be more balanced./ "Well if you push me over of course I'm going to fall over you big Galute!" /I am not a Galute I am a Wolf!/ "Oh, I would have never guessed! Well since you're heavy as a rock and rather expressive... lets have your name be Feathershroud." /I like it. Lets go./

Bonded at age eighteen, Vala and Feathershroud grew together under the guidance of their Patron, each searching within themselves and each other as a Rider and her Wolf. Now three years later, the young Rider has taken on a pupil of her own. A young woman named Chehero and her adolescent Feathermist. Vala had been adamant in taking on this particular pair, for one good reason or another, but secretly because she found it extremely amusing how close in name the two young wolves were. How will her first Patron position go? Only time and patience will tell. She continues to practice her Wind Instruments even to this day.
WOLF
Name: FeatherShroud
Gender: Female
Age: 3
Pack: White Shadow
Rank: Gamma
Appearence: Feathershroud
Personality: FeatherShroud has a caring yet tough personality, and always prefers to work with children rather than dealing with adults. Even though FeatherShroud is gentle in her own ways, she can be overly stubborn sometimes. One thing that never changes is her adoration for her Human, if any Wolf could look up to a human, FeatherShroud could with Vala. Even though she is to proud to admit it, often teasing and prodding her Rider for being able to be both calm and upbeat at the same time.
Smart as a whip, FeatherShroud is a great Runner and is extremely good at puzzles and riddles. This Wolf tends to be very opinionated, she has strongly built notions about certain things and is often quite vocal about expressing and defending them. She appreciates and needs mental and intellectual stimulation, constantly bothering her Vala for new problems to solve. For the most part, FeatherShroud's judgment is fair and impartial, she is a good critic because she can remain objective and unbiased about most things. Well... it really depends on the mood you catch her in, for FeatherShroud is prone to swinging from a kindly Female to one with a sharp tone and a sarcastic tone.
Usually preferring the latter to the former.
History: Born to a Beta Gamma pair, the young red pup often wondered out of the cave to sunbathe, usually to avoid getting groomed by her mother. The young pup had always been assertive and aggressive when it came to what she wanted, but she also showed a softer kinder side to her other siblings when they weren't annoying the hell out of her. So when the three month marker cropped up, and it was time to meet the humans that her mother had told of, the young adolescent was up and out of the cave as soon as her mother allowed them.
It didn't take long at all for her mind to reach out and connect with a humans, it was like nothing she had ever felt before, a sudden rush of information flooded her mind. Stalking right up to the tiny female and pushing her in the stomach, the Burgundy female flicked her ears forward in amusement as her Human fell onto her butt. /You sure are clumsy. I thought your strong mind would um... uh... be more balanced./ "Well if you push me over of course I'm going to fall over you big Galute!" /I am not a Galute I am a Wolf!/ "Oh, I would have never guessed! Well since you're heavy as a rock and rather expressive... lets have your name be Feathershroud." /I like it. Lets go./
Ever since their first contact, Feathershroud became fascinated with Vala's mind, often searching through it for interesting tales. The female Wolf had found it horribly amusing that her Rider had been so surprised she Bonded, despite how confident she had felt.
Now three years old, Feathershroud is a tall beautiful adult, and has been through many Centipede battles with many near misses. Wounded slightly from the last battle, the Wolf favors one of her front legs, but it will heal shortly.
