Sólveig Dawnrunner is a skilled healer and herbalist currently living with a band of former Caledonians as a Loner.

The daughter of Thyri Dawnbringer and Merlin Knight, Sóli and her sister, Ingvildr Knight, were nursed by Teagan Stryder following the untimely death of their mother and another sibling. Despite her losses, Sólveig has grown up with a number of family members, including aunts Kalypso Savoy and Gaia Dawnrunner, a milk sister, and an abundance of cousins.

From birth up until the beginning of 2023, Sólveig grew, lived, and thrived in New Caledonia. There, she found her calling as a healer, apprenticing under Bellad Songthorn, fell into (and out of) love with a Salsolan, endured a terrible war, and survived the violent disbandment of the only home she ever knew.

Currently, Sólveig is a Loner traveling with a small collective of family members and traders from their former Realm.

1.  Characteristics

1.1  Appearance

Summary

Although a mixture of several different subspecies of wolf, it's obvious by looking at her that there is no muddying to her genes from other canine species or dog breeds. Sólveig's fur is thick and of average length and, except for her mane which has a slight wave to it, lays straight. Taking after her maternal grandmother, Sólveig has a long, slender muzzle and well-proportioned ears. Her eyes are soft, warm, and expressive

Sólveig has a soft, pear-shaped figure and, having been born and raised in a prosperous pack, carries a bit of extra weight around her middle and thighs. She is likely to lose some of this excess weight as a loner, but precisely how much will depend on the success of the remaining family she has chosen to stick with.

While Sólveig is often seen in her Optime form and is very interested in hobbies and tasks that require hands, she often forgoes clothing. She is, however, fond of jewelry and other accessories. She often keeps her mane in various braid styles, both to keep it out of her way and also for style.

Sóli's palette consists mostly of warm sandy and auburn hues that are reminiscent of her Dawnrunner (and possibly Knight) heritage while she likely owes her blue eyes to her Stormbringer lineage.

Key Family Relationships

  • Merlin Knight: Sólveigs father. Following the death of her mother, Merlin raised her and her sister, Ingvildr, as a single father.
  • Ingvildr Knight: Sóli's only surviving littermate. Despite their differences, the sisters are thick as thieves and are rarely seen far from one another.
  • Kalypso Savoy: Sóli's aunt, and the mother of the majority of her cousins. After her mother's death, Kalyspo provided something of a mother-figure in her life.

Other Family Relationships

  • Gaia Dawnrunner: Another of Sólveig's aunts. Since they reside in the same pack, Gaia is one of the few who she knows personally.

Other Relationships

  • Teagan Stryder: Although not officially family, Teagan was Ingvildr's milk-mother after Thyri's death. Her role in Sóli's life will never be forgotten.
  • Naomi Stryder: Sólveig's milk-sister while she was being nursed by Teagan. She's been weaned for a long while now, but do such relationships ever completely dissolve?

  • Size:
    • Height: 8.9 in (22.6 cm)
    • Weight: 8.2 lbs (3.7 kg)

Summary

New Caledonia members may assume:

    • More Information »

Skills & Abilities:

Description:

Luath is a calico cat with characteristic patchwork markings of orange, black, and white. Tabby striping can be seen on the sections of her coat that are orange. She has a round face and large yellow-green eyes. She has a small, compact body.

Personality:

Obnoxious and mischievous, Luath seems at her happiest when she's being a nuisance to Luperci. An inquisitive creature, she doesn't reliably obey boundaries and will try to get her nose in just about anything a Krokaran is doing. Despite her annoying tendencies, Lua is an affectionate cat and can be a soothing presence when she senses someone is sad or upset.

History:

  • Born to Meerclar in August 2016 alongside four siblings.
  • Started living with Ailie Morgan in December 2016.
  • Ailie's daughter, Elle Cormier, assumed responsibility of Luath in the summery of 2017 after Ailie when missing.
  • Latching onto the mischievous Elle, Luath starts to spend more time with her.
  • Stayed in Krokar when Elle left to join Mistfell Vale in the summer of 2018.
  • Fled Fiskebyn near the end of October 2018 when it was set on fire. Fearful and misplaced, Luath chose to remain with the Cormier-Parhelion family following Krokar's disbandment.
  • Luath joined the Cormier-Parhelion family to the St. John's Chokehold where she resided as part of The Shoal until mid-August 2019, when she left with Percival Parhelion to start their new life in New Caledonia

Previous Residences:

  • Othas District — Residence 16 (Feb 2020-Jan 2023) (Show)
Also relatively small and almost perfectly square, this modest little residence has always been cozy and comfortable for the little Dawnrunner-Knight family. With two small bedrooms and an open kitchen-living area, it almost seems to invite closeness, collaboration, and communication between those living within its walls. There is a nearly constant smell of herbs, feathers, and wood shavings from the family's various crafts.

February

Summary

Sólveig is born on the 12th of February alongside sisters Ingvildr Knight and Rúna Stormbringer. Born with a birth defect, Rúna passes away six days later. Her death is followed quickly by that of her mother, Thyri Dawnbringer, whose health had been in a steady decline since parturition. Their father, Merlin Knight, acts quickly to ensure the survival of his remaining two daughters and enlists the help of Teagan Stryder, who had recently given birth to a daughter of her own, to nurse them. Sólveig and Ingvildr spend the remainder of February in the Stryder-Ridley household.
