History: Laurel was born into a pack of wolves containing one of the most ancient set of traditions on Anikira. Instead of the pack being ruled by a single alpha there was a council of nobility that all made decisions and guided the pack. They were all considered to be royalty, male and female alike. Males however were usually the only ones that ascended to the council, females typically assigned to duties like leading the hunts and raising the young. No one female was responsible for raising a litter alone. Instead of designating leaders based on bloodline all of the pups were placed into one huge litter depending on all of the mothers to be raised. This is how Laurel started her life. She did not know who her parents were or who her true siblings were. All she knew was that there were many of them all together. Most of them looked similar enough to all be siblings. Even from the very beginning of her life Laurel always had a love for nature. From an early age she could be found watching the smaller creatures go about their lives. She loved to see how they interacted and grew to appreciate even the smallest life. One of her favorite creatures to watch was a squirrel that lived in a tree where she was raised. He had grown used to her presence even coming down to hide his acorns in her fur when she visited him. The council of nobility saw that level head and calm that Laurel exuded and sought to groom her as the first female to ascend the council. Times were changing and she was going to be the face of that change, the queen among royals. She was taught how to fight and hunt. How to strategize and lead in a battle. She excelled at each skill becoming more and more of an example to the other pups with each passing day. She took her duties very seriously, but in the end she referred to spend her time amongst the trees and flowers. Some time later she had found some of her siblings tormenting the squirrel repeatedly hurting him for the sport of it. They didn't seem to realize the value of life in the squirrel instead using it as a plaything for their amusement. Her anger had gotten the better of her and she had killed them for harming the squirrel. Taken before the council she was tried for the murder of three of the members of the royal blood. As punishment for her rash actions she was exiled and despite her royal blood she was forbidden from ever returning to her home.
Since departing from her homeland she has scoured the continent looking for a meaning for her exile. She would never regret the lives she had taken to protect that of an innocent. Her reputation preceded her as a protector of the weak and as she traveled she took more than one life in defense of the innocent. From that point on she had lived on her own learning how to survive as a lone wolf. Not only had her fascination with nature grown each passing day, but she also had an appreciation for the life of the pack. She has spent the majority of the young life seeking out a new pack to join one where she was not expected to lead. Where she would not be judged for her past actions. A place where she would find her destiny.
Personality: From an early age Laurel was taught to develop her brain to the highest of it' potential. She is methodical in all aspects of her life, thinking about her actions before she carries them out. She is calculative and a born problem solver, usually finding the surest solution to even the most impossible obstacles. She is a born strategist in battle and has a knack for manipulating situations to her advantage. As a result to her deep thought she rarely speaks, only using words when the situation demands it. Laurel very rarely gets angry, but when she does it is explosive. She can be quite destructive when her temper is riled, but oddly enough she craves that destruction. She likes to see things destroyed in her wake especially in the throws of battle. Laurel is a natural born protector always defending those she views as innocent. Even if the innocent is a perfect stranger she hates to see an undeserving victim suffer. She is also very protective of her loved ones. She would defend her friends and family against anything even death itself. She is willing to die if it means that her loved once are allowed to remain living. Laurel has a very open heart and she shares her love with everyone she can. She doesn't have it in her heart to hate even if she doesn't get along great with them. She get along with most other wolves even if they are strangers to her. Once a wolf has won her affection they have it for life, her affection not fleeting. The only time she ever rescinds her love is when the person betrays her trust and that is a serious deal to her. Everything she does is to help those around her. Everything that she has she is happy to give away as long as it benefits those around her. She also does her best to make sure that her family and friends are provided for. Laurel always views life as glass half full. Life is a joyous adventure to her and she enjoys spending it with those around her. She doesn't allow much to get her down and the things that effect her don't debilitate her for long. She is however a deeply emotional creature who relies on her connection with others to be happy. She is happiest when she doesn't have to lead and enjoys being a subordinate. Obedient as ever she follows those she trusts almost blindly. Her leader gains her utmost loyalty. She has never had any romantic inclinations but if she did she would need a strong character to deal with her. She thrives best when the decisions are made for her, when she had a companion that is confident enough to lead her.
