Whisper Eternity is a wolfdog. She is a high-ranking member of Salsola, where she was born and raised. The daughter of Idrieus and Grievous Eternity, Whisper is a member of an affluent household. She is the youngest of triplets, following Azalea and Lilium. Her early childhood was largely without any incidents of note. When she was young, her father brought an older girl into their house to serve as their au pair – Heulwen Chatham, a former slave from Rabenuhr. In addition to her duties as a housekeeper, the young woman oversaw much of triplets when their parents were working. These days were spent either indoors or within the familiar grounds of the Ruins, the sprawling central hub of Salsola's residential area. As she grew older, Whisper's fascination with her father's work – or more specifically, the huge, powerful animals he trained, became obvious. When she was old enough to shift, Whisper began spending most of her free time in Salsola's stables. This has carried on into adulthood. Her primary skills focus on the training and care of horses, as well as their use in combat. In addition to this, she is a saddlemaker -- a leatherworker dedicated to the production of horse-tack. |

1. Characteristics
1.1 Appearance |
Physical |
Whisper is a tall, long-legged canine. She is more wolf than dog, and resembles this, but has notable and defined markings that give away her domestic heritage. Her pelt is mostly a gray agouti all over, and but accented by several warm, tawny sections. Darker (but faint) spots are visible among her fur, which is thick, longer than average, and semi-coarse. Whisper truly resembles a wolf in her face, which is angular, though her eyes and pale face suggest otherwise. Whisper has a rather mean looking resting face, though she is otherwise very expressive. She has sectoral heterochromia, with a single blue segment in her left eye. Clothing and accessories play a big role within Salsola, and Whisper's style favors bright colors, tassles, and whatever fashion choice is trending among her peers. Her hair is very long, and rarely seen outside of a braid. Though she currently lacks any permanent scars, it is not uncommon for Whisper to sport a minor cut or abrasion, especially on her hands. While she disguises her scent outside of Salsola, Whisper always carries the smell of horses. |

3. Personality |
Summarized: Alert, Caring, Disputatious, Fiery, Imaginative, Patriotic, Political, Stubborn, Venturesome A product of her upbringing, Whisper seeks to live her life in a way which not only brings renown to her House, but to The Thistle Kingdom as a whole. Her strong opinions about her place of birth have led to a blind patriotism that leads her to believe local propaganda more fully than others. Even so, at her core what Whisper seeks is harmony – though her direct approach to most things and mean-looking resting face may suggest otherwise. She is a highly creative person, and often looking for ways to expand her knowledge and skills. These are primarily focused around horses. Whisper is, in fact, a horse girl.

A skilled rider, Whisper is at home in the saddle. She is capable of handling advanced mounts, and able to ride bareback with relative ease. Mounted combat is one of her primary roles within her pack, making use of the horse's natural weapons in addition to her own. Most commonly, she uses a lance.
Has done plenty of ground work, trail riding, and combat training.
Whisper had produced several saddles of various size and weight, but is still mastering her techniques.
Though her experience is limited, Whisper has conducted several trades both on behalf of Salsola and with her personal goods. She is a very formal, direct trader, with a preference for high-quality and unique items.
