by Eve
Vesta is a member of Salsola presently ranked as The Tradesman. As a dual-wielding sword master she aims to acquire the job of Milite to serve the pack as a guardian and warrior. Equally a highly skilled leatherworker she also hopes to become an Artesano and make leather goods for the pack.
Named Synnöve Tova at birth she was the first born in a litter of five and the only female. Her family was small and among the many low ranking members of a large and feral wolf pack living in Söderåsen, Sweden. Being lowly meant doing all the menial labor for the upper ranks and when she was old enough she was tracking and hunting and scouting and fending off other predators and trespassers in her pack's territory. When a group of luperci mercenaries happened upon them Vesta was among the many females traded to them to ensure the pack was left alone. She was quickly infected with the luperci virus and sold off into slavery.
After a long and hard fought journey to freedom from her enslavement Vesta eventually found herself wandering toward Nova Scotia. She worked as a sell-sword along the way and built up a decent reputation as a warrior of honor, helping traders and travelers get where they were going safely, cutting down only those who deserved it. She eventually crossed paths with a mysterious stranger named Ebon Oscuro who promised her a much better future if she returned with him. She joined Salsola in September 2015 and never looked back.
Although The Five didn't really make an appearance until after the fall of the Red Star, they had been tormenting Salsola all throughout the beginning of 2016 until Vesta and a collection of her packmates put an end to their killing spree. It wasn't long after that the realm was stricken by the mysterious Spring Sickness and Vesta did her part keep it from spreading. Though she missed out on the Second Boreas Conflict she threw herself headlong into the Inferni-Salsola War near the end of 2017.

Biases
SexualityVesta is heterosexual (Kinsey 1) and is only interested in males but has a fondness and appreciation for strong warrior type females like herself. She believes in monogamy and frowns upon polygamy, regarding it as unnatural but in reality it's because she is mildly possessive. She is romantic at her core but does very well to hide it and tries to be the dominant one in the relationship, always making the first moves romantically and sexually. This is especially true when in heat, when she acquires a "take-what-is-mine" sort of mentality, which has often gotten her in trouble. SubstancesDuring her enslavement she was introduced to a variety of substances including but not limited to alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, salvia, opium, and mushrooms but due to a strict and non-addictive personality she was able to stave off dependence on any substance. She detests smoking anything since she does not like the burning choking feeling of smoke, she doesn't like what hallucinogens do to her head, and hates the lethargic feeling of sedatives. About the only the she's willing to tolerate is alcohol and only in moderation, as she does not like to dull her senses for too long. SpiritualityShe was brought up on a bastardized mixture of Scandinavian mythology - chiefly Norse and Germanic - that was quickly buried by whatever her masters wanted her to believe. For one period or another she feigned faith in Catholicism, Satanism, and the ancient Egyptian mythos. Now, she is mostly spiritual, believing not so much in a higher power, but in the powers of the earth and spirits around her. She is by no means religious or dogmatic though and prefers to rely on her instincts and wits more than anything else. |

Summary | |||
Ignis (noriker horse) | ||||
|
|
Salsola members may assume:
|
Miscellaneous:
Skills & Abilities
- Rider trained, a little slow, but long distance
- Cart trained, high stamina, incredibly strong
- War horse, high pain tolerance, no fear
Personality:
- Ignis is the definition of docile. He is calm, gentle, and very compliant, easily heeding the orders of pretty much everyone, but he understands Vesta the best. He is a little bit dumb and will only perform admirably when given enough instruction but for general riding and cart pulling he is always very good. He is unmatched in stamina and is incredibly hardy, well accustomed to extreme heat and extreme cold. He is also very adaptable and pliant, able to adjust to pretty much any task or surroundings. All he wants to do is please and he does just as well as a war horse as he does as a work horse.
History:
- Born on a ranch in southern Norway
- Underwent training as a war horse
- Stolen by a wandering trader
- Sold to Henrick Valdemar
- Stolen by Vesta
Ardor (eurasian lynx) | ||||
|
Salsola members may assume:
|
Miscellaneous:
Skills & Abilities
- Speaks fluent high speech and "cat speech"
- Spying, Tracking, Scouting, Hunting
- Companionship, Pest Control
Personality:
- Ardor has never truly lived the life of a wild animal and it shows in the way he goes about his life. Although he is not completely dependent on luperci - as he is capable of hunting for himself - he very obviously relies on them and is far more comfortable around them than his own kind, which he has encountered very few of. He acts very much like one would expect a non-luperci canine would among the shifting kind and has adapted to living more civilized than wild cats. He thinks of himself as quite refined and likes to stay as clean as possible, avoiding mud and dirt when he can. Though highly cultured he is not pretentious and does not think himself above anyone else, though he does consider himself superior to wild cats. Though somewhat antisocial he does love watching and is a keenly observant individual, aloof at times but not cold, and friendly to those he considers his friends.
History:
- Born and raised in captivity
- Sold as a pet to various luperci
- Left his last owner and lived wild
- Encountered Vesta and followed her
