Keira

This is a tryout for an Amari adopt.

Gender: Female

Traits: Dober ears, Silken tail

Mutations: None

Body Type: Strong

Homeland: Grasdalur — Born in Fannar, near the mountains

Future Additions: braided tail fur | small piercings | x2 lure

Transfer Concept: (needs touchups, specifically colors and some design texture, which will be done if I win)

This design is a bit out of my comfort zone, between testing different brushes and fur textures. I found this difficult to replicate but enjoyed the challenge and learning new techniques with my art program to make it. The braid was also something different that took time and concentration, suiting the rest of this tough bean. That being said, I do hope the efforts are appreciated!

Personality

Competitive | Sentimental | Stubborn | Willful | Blatant

Since a very young pup, Keira had a fire within her. It was near impossible to keep her still, especially with any sort of commotion going on. She was always the first pup of the pack to get everyone wiled up. Exploration and adventure was always fun for her, and if she if she was told not to go somewhere, she would always question why, and usually go find out herself if she wasn’t given a good answer.

An emotional canine, Keira holds value in her morals and does good to others when she has the power to. However, she will always put you in your place if she must and doesn’t care if you don’t like the truth! When it comes to those she holds dear, Keira will keep even simple gifts (such as dried flowers or a bone from food) to remember the best of times.

Featured in Story— Juno (Blue Diamond tryout by Unicorn-Panda), Unnamed father of both Sumarlithr and Keira

I was still a pup when it happened, but I still have vivid flashbacks.

A heard of Ryker stampeded about the tiny pack that I once called home. My parents, and every able-bodied wolf for that matter, were on the front lines while I was trapped in a small den with other young and the elderly. I still remember the stench of blood that hit me like a wall when it was deemed safe to leave. I wondered why it took so long to be let out, but my suspicions were silenced as reality sunk in.

Corpses of Ryker and Amari, scattered about across the land, some not even whole. The adults that remained try to shield us from the gore, but I would have none of that! I needed to find my parents, because they just had to be okay!

I ran with the air in my throat burning with every heave while hot tears made everything difficult to see. When I did finally find a lump that looked familiar, I nearly broke down—my mother was lying lifeless and cold, and suddenly my world was just as dark as the scene. My father was sitting next to her, wounded and whining in agony over his mate. „I had failed to protect my family… yet again.“ he whimpered, clutching me into a hug. „But you. You need to live, Keira. And you can’t survive around me!“

I begged for my father not to, that I wanted to stay with him, but in his mind, he was a failure, and there was no changing that.

I watch as I sailed gently down the river to a land far away from Fannar. I can still see the look in his eyes as he prayed to the Gods to look after me on my journey.

After being found and accompanied by a young male, we traveled together in search of a forever-home. That was my dream since that horrid day; to find somewhere special with many friends to share memories with. Juno had a keen interest in the mountains, so we began there. The top of the world was our first destination!
