Weaver Valentine is the son of Velveteen Silevue and Dirge Valentine, born 18 Aug 2014 in the French-speaking sub-territories of the Toronto region in Canada along with his three siblings: Brocade Valentine, Calla Valentine, and Hyacinth Silevue.
Weaver grew up with his siblings under the tutelage of his careful parents, in the gang that served as a pack and a family. The gang was situated in a hostile territory of Toronto, and was frequently involved in skirmishes with rivals and foes. As such, Weaver grew up with a deep understanding of loyalty to family, and perseverance against indomitable odds. He is an easygoing, jovial young man, with a love of good music, fine women, and lightweight knives.
In 2015 Weaver left Toronto with his sister, Hyacinth, who had been offered as a bride to a rival gang against her wishes. Hyacinth determined that the only way for her and Weaver to live the lives of power and wealth that they were destined to lead would be to follow in the footsteps of their infamous cousin, Isabella Heiwa, who had left the gang after stealing her mother's tarot deck many years prior. Determined to keep his beloved little sister safe at all costs, Weaver reluctantly agreed to accompany her to Nova Scotia, where the rumor mill swiftly led them into the clutches of the Thistle Kingdom.
Weaver currently resides in Salsola, after having journeyed with his sister Hyacinth to seek out their infamous cousin Isabella Heiwa. He and his sister were accepted into the pack after meeting its Lord Commander, Lokr Revlis, with Ondine Heiwa as his sponsor. Weaver has made his rise through the ranks with his eyes on the merchant tier, specifically the Overseer rank and then to the Ambassador rank.

Appearance
Basics
Essentials
Species: Following after his Solitaire bloodlines, Weaver is a strongly built young man of wolfish proportions. Although he is hybrid in nature, it would be rather difficult to tell Weaver apart visually from a full-blooded grey wolf.
Fur: His coat displays the familiar earthen tones of his heritage, though they are lighter than the norm. In the wintertime, his pelt grows much longer and paler, appearing to make him almost cream rather than tan, with highlight of a bright white.
Optime Hair: Weaver's optime hair is short and normally unruly. Even though this is the case, Hyacinth will usually cut it and tidy it up so it does not look as it normally does.
Facial Features: Even with Weaver's hybrid nature, he still has wolfish features, even in his face. The only difference is that his ears are a little larger than normal.
Build and Size: He is of a regular height for a male wolf, with broad shoulders and quick fingers.
Humanization: Medium to high. Although Weaver has no problems wearing clothing, he prefers to wear as little as possible in most situations so that he can show off his body. He does have other clothing that covers most of him, but normally chooses to wear these when at a formal occasion or when trading outside Salsola.
Clothing: Weaver has a number of outfits, perfering to lean towards the gypsy style of home. He has two vests, both gifts from other members of Salsola. One is a tan colored vest with a yellow sash to go along with it, a gift from Hope. The other vest is light green with a darker green on the inside. This vest is lined with fur along the neck and bares the symbol of Salsola on the sides, a gift from Till. His formal outfit is a long green tunic and tan undershirt. On top of the tunic is a very small tan vest with a waist-length red vest on top. Both the vests are lined with gold. A diluted red and gold sash is worn along the waist with a leather and gold belt on top. He also has tan pants.
Accessories: Weaver doesn't have much in terms of accessories, although he is not opposed to obtaining more if he finds something that he likes. His most commonly seen accessory is a can tah that he received from Plague. This can tah is a silver fox head with a snake tongue He also owns a small bracelet with bells attached to it, a gift from Hope.

Forms
Lupus
102 lbs(46 kg) ↔ 34 in(107 cm) In many ways, Weaver appears to be your average grey wolf. His fur is a little more gold and auburn than most, but his size, weight and stature are very regular for the specie. He is muscular in build, though has not developed the toned, bulky weight of a warrior.
Secui
220 lbs(100 kg) ↔ 42 in(107 cm) Large and imposing, this is a form that Weaver uses very rarely, and mostly for the purposes of intimidation. He is almost lion-like in this form, with an excessive amount of shaggy fur about his throat like a mane; His forequarters are heavily muscled, while his hind end remains leaner to allow for short-lived bursts of speed.
Optime
240 lbs(109 kg) ↔ 6 ft 7 in (79 in)(200 cm) A talented lute player (and a talented pickpocket), Weaver takes pride in his quick fingers and easy-going smile. His hair is somewhat unruly, though Hya will often cut it into order for him.
Modifications
Piercings: Two green studs on his left ear.
Tattoos: —
Scars: The Hand of Eris on the top of his chest, right over his heart.
Personality
Easygoing, Charming, Kind-hearted
Weaver is very easygoing. He makes far more friends than he does enemies. He is kind hearted to anyone that he comes across, unless it is clear that they pose him some kind of threat. Even if this is the case, he tended to hide his discomfort under his addictive grin.
Many women will notice that Weaver is very charming, or at least he thinks that he is. He is aware that there are those who are not tempted by his charm, but that doesn't stop him from still trying to use it on them. He often thinks of himself as a bit of a male siren, luring women in with his charm and music. No woman is safe from his attempts on them.
Obsessive, Protective
Weaver is obsessive when it comes to the happiness of his family, particularly with his sister Hyacinth. He has been with her the most and made the first journey to Salsola with her. He is not afraid to do what needs to be done to ensure that she gets the happiness that she deserves.
When it comes to other women, Weaver can sometimes get a little overprotective, especially when they are in danger, or have been in danger before.
Secretive, Capable, Tough
Although Weaver appears very kind and soft on the surface, there is another side of him hidden underneath. He is more than capable of doing terrible things if it means the happiness of his sister or anyone else that is close to him. He is not afraid to show this side of him when he needs to, but for the most part keeps it hidden under the surface.
Interaction
Speech: When speaking, Weaver has a very relaxed tone to his voice, turning to charming when around women. He will often throw French into conversations, even if the one he is talking to doesn't know the language. He does this to 'spice up' the conversation.
Scent: Silevue, thistles, disguised when outside Salsola.
Quirks, Gestures, Etc.: Loves to sing and play music, often doing both when wandering about.
General Posture and Body Language: Neither dominant or submissive. Weaver's body language is very relaxed.
Disappointment/Failure: Since his primary motivation in life is to ensure the happiness of his sister, he fears the idea of being a disappointment or failing her. He strives to do his best so that this fear does not come to pass.
Spirituality
Before coming to Salsola, Weaver didn't care much for anything spiritually. Since meeting with Plague D'Angelo, Weaver has grown interested in Khalifism. He has learned a bit about Tak and even gotten his own can tah. He is looking to learn move about the Khalif teachings.
Non-Luperci: Follows Salsola's general belief that they are inferior.
Gender: Can be overly protective of women.
Age: Elders are considered to hold a larger quantity of knowledge, thus giving them cause to be given a little extra respect.
Sexuality
Weaver is heterosexual, but will flirt with just about any woman that he comes across. He is true to his nature and will not give it up even if he finds someone that he is really fond of. Even if he were to have a mate, he would still flirt with others and sleep with others. He would prefer to have a woman that is fine with an open relationship.
Dislikes: Disappointment, failure, being turned down, unnecessary hostility.
Substances
Weaver has partaken in plenty of drinking and loves to do the same with others, especially in the company of a woman. Although he has a fondness to drinking, he doesn't partake in any other substances. He might be willing to try some with persuasion, but not likely to try them on his own.
Hyacinth Silevue: Weaver is very protective of his little sister. He views her through rose-tinted glasses, believing that she can do no wrong and is pure at heart. Unbeknownst to him, Hyacinth has Weaver wrapped around her little finger, and can persuade him to do just about anything for her.
Brocade Valentine: Although Weaver cares about his brother, he doesn't have as good of a connection with him as he does with Hyacinth. Brocade has never approved of his love for music and easygoing nature, though since coming to Salsola, he intends to prove his brother wrong.
Calla Valentine: Weaver feels a bit sorry for Calla, knowing how much she tried to be just as beautiful and great as her sister, but didn't have any luck in Canada. He is hopeful that his sister will be much happier in Salsola than she was back home.
Ondine Heiwa: Ondine was put in charge of Weaver when he first joined the Thistle Kingdom. Her demure, sweet nature instantly won him over - Weaver is now mildly infatuated with the girl, though it seems his romantic notions are not reciprocated.
Claire de Valence - Weaver cares about Claire, more than he has any other woman. He loves to spend time with her and always enjoys having her around. He also loves the games that the two of them play with each other, especially when they try to outdo each other, but the tender moments are sweet too.
Duncan de le Poer - Weaver and his fellow associate Duncan became good friends with each other. The two of them like spending time exploring and hanging out. Weaver often gets the two of them in trouble, with Duncan being the one to get them out of it.
Till Van Ulrich-Lykoi - Since coming to Salsola, Weaver has spent a fair amount of time with Till and the two have become close friends. In their spare time, they will often share meals with each other.
Hand to hand combat (Journeyman): Even though Weaver prefers to make music than getting into fights, he still knows a bit in terms of combat. He knews enough hand to hand combat to protect himself and his siblings. He doesn't know anything too fancy like his brother Brocade might.
Armed combat (Journeyman): Weaver has grown an interest in small daggers, owning one of his own. He doesn't use it all that much for combat, prefering to use it for skinning to gather pelts. Even though this is the case, he does know a bit of points to use it in combat.
