Cwmfen

Cwmfen was born to be a warrior. While a solitary creature, she has found her place in Dahlia de Mai, whom she serves well. She lives for the thrill of the battle and listens to the warsongs sung by her body, the weapons, the world.

1.  History

Corvus Vendetta, the pied wolf with black eyes and a black, empty soul, raped Graine**; such an act committed by the brute occurred only at the time of the rut, and Graine was unfortunate to cross his path at that time. It was late spring or early summer, and so Graine, a lone female, had been enjoying a quiet stroll in the forest dusk. The pied wolf had approached her, seducing her with his charismatic charm; she learned too late of his cold demeanor. Because Corvus’ stature and strength far surpasses that of a normal wolf, Graine had no chance in resisting his needs.

Graine birthed three pups, but two were stillborn, perhaps due to Corvus' treatment of her during the time. He had stayed with her, keeping a careful eye upon the life growing in her belly, for he cared only for the prolonging of his bloodline. And, so while he was cold and cruel to her, Graine's belly was carefully protected, as was ultimately her life. When Corvus was permitted to see the pups after the birthing, he was moved by a silent rage, for two were dead and the living was a female. But Corvus was patient, and he waited and remained still, helping the she-wolf raise her pup. And, when Cwmfen approached her first, Corvus slew her, promising Cwmfen that he’d be back to have a taste of her when she was sexually mature.

Cwmfen, in fear and confusion, fled from the lands upon which she was raised, for while she did fear Corvus, he had left the lands and the protection of the boarders had now fallen—a yearling wolf with little experience had not chance against any intruders. Thus she wandered as a lone wolf for another year, searching for something she did not know and all the while attempting to avoid the pied wolf that would surely seek her. In attempting to avoid him, she avoided contact of all other creatures, afraid that if she settled down, those who she would learn to love would be taken from her.

Several months before she found Bleeding Souls, Corvus Vendetta caught up to her; he was nearly two head taller than she was, and, though she attempted to get away, she was neither fast enough nor strong enough to resist him. She did not understand why he had come, for she had not yet reached maturity. As he whispered in her ear, she learned that he would make her his by taking her virginity. She lost consciousness, but when she awoke, because her body ached and his scent was all over her, she believed that he had raped her. (Later, on her Long Nights, she learns that he did not rape her, but merely presented her with an illusion and a warning.) She knew that he had come to show her that she could not run. Indeed, that prospect frightened her, and she knew that he would find her no matter where she went. He let her go after he had satisfied himself, sending his grating, mirthless laughter at her heels.

Her experience of ‘love’ making was traumatic, and it would be a long time before she could accept any male. What she found most disturbing was that there was a strange attraction for the pied wolf in the back of her mind. He was large and strong, he was handsome and he never seemed to grow old. She tried to wipe such thoughts in her mind as she fled his horrors, and she knew that she had to stop running, that she had to find those lands. It was in her wanderings that she stumbled upon the lands of Bleeding Souls, and she found here many packs—packs which might protect her.

Dahlia de Mai's Hauku Soul met her at the boarders...

** Graine was part of a promise made by one of her ancestors: Corvus, should he return to Europe, would be given a daughter of that lineage, who possessed in their blood something of great interest to him—an old magic. His desire to obtain it through a son is the reason for his obsession with Cwmfen.

3.  Personality

Cwmfen is a kind wolf, though she is not without a mean streak, as are all creatures. She’s quiet and holds herself in a non-threatening fashion, but within those warm, milky orbs is a hint of something wilder. Contrary to her kind disposition, she loves the thrill of the fight. To fight wars is her passion. Through self training and true encounters, she strives to make herself the best warrior that she can be.

She fears very little, but she does fear her father (and, disturbingly, loves him too). She is deeply intrigued by the darkness held within the hearts of wolves. She finds herself thusly drawn to those who harbor it. Her first intrigue was Haku Soul, but because he was mated to Firefly Sadira, she could do nothing. She was then intrigued by Bane Kiles. Cwmfen is not sexually promiscuous, but she will allow herself to be satisfied by those she believes to be 'intriguing'.

4.  Appearance

She's a lean young wolf and she's relatively strong; her strength may not add up to most males, but she has speed on her side. Her lithe form allows her to move gracefully and swiftly. Her black coat is sleek and carries a healthy sheen. Pale blue markings that mimick the woad of the olde world adorn her face and limbs, and white orbs contrast greatly as if holding openly the light of her soul.

Save for her black coat, her appearance is nothing like Corvus Vendetta's. Instead, her build and markings were given to her by her mother Graine, who was a desirable fae. The white eyes, however, could have been an attribute passed down to her from Turuambar, her ancestor.
