  • Lyric frequently patrols the borders and will accompany your character on hunts or bring food to those who need it.

1.  Appearance

A large wolf with a light grey-brown coat, and distinct "tear" streaks beneath her brown eyes. She stands at about 36 inches (91 cm) at the shoulder in her Lupus form, which she greatly prefers over her other forms. She generally carries herself with "neutral" posture, a little tense, but neither dominant nor submissive. She smells of earth, rain, forest, prey blood, and her mother.

3.  Skills

Hunting (Feral) (Master)
Lyric is adept at hunting in her Lupus form, taking advantage of her endurance and power. She has carried the burden of hunting solo to provide for herself and her mother for a few years.

  • Best in a "team" of hunters; she does well taking down large prey like deer and elk.
  • Great at catching medium-small prey, like raccoons or woodchucks.
  • Sometimes given trouble catching "nimble" and fast prey, as Lyric has only average agility.

Scouting (Journeyman)
Since joining the Vale, Lyric became a dedicated scout, patrolling the borders on a regular basis to keep an eye out for undesirables.

  • Now very familiar with the Vale's territory, she can quickly notice something amiss.
  • Schedules her patrols -- to a fault. Might need to be told to change them up.
  • Very by-the-book and unlikely to tolerate bribes; will tattle on a packmate if needed.

Caretaking (Journeyman)
Lyric has taken care of her elderly mother for as long as she can remember. She has no specialized skills, but she can keep others fed and comfortable to the best of her ability.

  • Attentive of others needs, often noticing something's bothering them before they do.
  • Deeply caring personality, but not a great bedside manner with strangers.
  • Good with "schedules" and reminding others to eat, walk around, etc.

Combat (Feral) (Apprentice)
Following some incidents in the pack, Lyric decided that it would be prudent to learn to fight. She has good instinct and can hold her own for a short time, but she's seeking training.

  • Her size and strength are her greatest assets; she hits like a truck.
  • Good mindset for a combatant: brave, protective, not easily flustered, very "business."
  • Tendency to overthink moves, which makes her slow on the draw.

4.  Relationships

4.1  Family

  • Half-Siblings: Asphodel Prior, Rosebay Prior, Harebell Prior
  • Extended: Some nieces, nephews, and cousins among the Priors thanks to her mother. Her biological father was part of the feral Moineau family.
