``inside my mind
Personality: Gnosis is not stupid. If someone looks like a strange one, she avoids them. If they are a color she doesn't recognize, especially their eyes, she quickly turns away and seeks out shelter. Level headed and calm in almost any situation, it's hard for her to loose her cool. All the same, she is self-concious of what others might think of her should she fail in a fight or become infected. She has a hard time bonding emotionally with others but isn't beyond making friends and sticking together; it's much safer than going it alone. She prefers to be out in the daylight so she can see who she meets clearly. At night she finds a hiding place and refuses to come out for any reason. When she hunts, she prefers to do so alone and mostly for small prey. She is calm, sweet, and intelligent, but is quick to judge others.
``origins
Parents: Kenna (dam), Bracken (father)
Siblings: only child
History: Gnosis was born late in the spring to parents who were a lone pair. Her father would bring them food and do his best to protect their small home from intruders. Her first memory is of the dark den where she fed upon her mother's breast and imprinted her scent in her mind. Her mother was like a god to her then. All-powerful and guiding her through her minuscule life.
When she was old enough to venture from the den, her lessons started. She had no time to spend on play. She was a lonely pup in a pack with only two adult wolves. Not only that, but there were strange ones out there. Her father was always on alert. Her mother as well. With dealing with that, hunting, and teaching Gnosis, it's a wonder they never lost their minds.
When Gnosis would fail at whatever it was she was doing, she would get angry. She'd bare her teeth and flatten her ears and just growl in frustration. Each time her mother scolded her.
"How pointless your anger is, if there is nothing you can do about it! she would say. "If you always keep a level head, it is harder to be caught of guard or tricked." and so the young wolf was brought up in this way.
As an adult she was a part of their small pack for two years. They hunted together, explored together, protected together. By then she was of sound mind and had developed int exactly what her mother wanted her to be - a level headed individual who would avoid a fight instead of throwing herself into it.
During her second year with her parents, they were both attacked by the infected. She had hoped that they would still be healthy. She had know idea how many times they had been bitten. It was not the case though. The last view of her parents was the crazed, wild look the infection gave them She left home and never looked back.
