_{"Be strong enough to stand alone, be yourself enough to stand apart, but be wise enough to stand together when the time comes."- Mark Amend}

Feora Isabel Swinth
Pronounced as (FEE-or-uh)

• Nickname: Little Wolf is what some call her

• Birth date and age: August 28, Currently 18

• Sexuality: Heterosexual

• In Depth Appearance:
Feora is above average in height at 5 foot, 10 inches. She is around 120 pounds, give or take, and has a slender, not overly curvaceous body. Her notably long legs are nicely toned from years of horseback riding, and her skin is usually lightly tanned from spending time outside. She has an oval shaped face, Greek nose, and beautiful forest green eyes. Her wavy dark brown hair reaches to about mid-back. She prefers wearing her hair up or in a braid. She typically doesn't wear a lot, if any, makeup or jewelry. Being a fairly active person, she dresses in what's more comfortable rather than fashionable. Jeans, a "nicer" top, and boots or her riding clothes are her go to outfits. She wears a lot of neutral, earth tones. When away from home, she will try harder on her appearance. Her nicer gowns are green and gold, the colors of her kingdom.

• Personality:

• Secretive • Intelligent • Fiery spirit •

Feora has a fiery spirit hidden just below the surface. A spirit that seeks to be free from the oppression of living up to others high expectations. She is secretive in the sense that what she lets people see is not truly representative of who she is. It's a façade that covers up the more unruly and ill-mannered side of her. In other words, it covers up the side of her that is not like a princess. She has been taught to not speak out of turn, to be ladylike and diplomatic, and to at least feign interest in trivial matters. She struggles to do so because she is truthfully quite the opposite. She is naturally opinionated, and she would rather hang out with rough housing guys than the fashionable royal women her age. She also would rather have an intellectual conversation than talk about the latest fashion and gossip. She at heart is down-to-earth and doesn't consider herself above others just because she is royalty. In the end, she is fiercely loyal to those she cares about.

Likes:

• Learning
• Martial arts
• Tactical planning
• Being outside
• Animals, particularly horses
• Horseback riding

Dislikes:

• Being controlled
• Arranged marriage
• People who are disrespectful or treat her like she is helpless
• Society's portrayal of what women should be
• Trying to live up to others' expectations
• Those who prey on the weak or profit from the suffering of others

Fears:

• Failing her kingdom and her people
• Forever having to pretend to be what others want her to be
• Not being able to protect those she cares about

• Biography
Known for its lineage of influential kings and strong military forces, the kingdom of Wulfswinth is respected by some and simply feared by others. With that said, Feora grew up fairly accustomed to diplomacy and militaristic ways, though she was taught more on the former and less on the latter. The truth was that while other little girls dreamed of being a princess, she dreamed of being a soldier. However, such aspirations were against the status quo of a princess. That didn't stop her from watching the soldiers, learning from what she saw, and practicing martial arts in secret.

When Feora was 8, her mother Queen Adelaide died from complications during child birth. Unfortunately, the baby didn't survive either. Feora was left to be "raised" by her father King Matthias. He was a busy man, which meant she was watched over and taught by others. What little bonding time she did have with her father was spent horseback riding with him. Sometimes she could convince him into letting her accompany him on hunting trips. When she wasn't being tutored or being taken to meetings and balls, she was usually left to her own devices. Over the years, she constantly felt like she was being scrutinized by someone. It caused her to repress her true feelings and desires when in public. Her true self was a secret that no one realized they were missing out on. Nothing could stifle her desire to be a solider, that need to fight for her kingdom on the battlefield. Ultimately, she didn't hate being a princess per se but hated having to live up to everyone else's expectations. Why couldn't she just be herself?

She thought she had a decent relationship with her father. Thought being the operative word. He betrayed her trust in a way that threatened to shatter her hope for a decent future. He dropped the bombshell that at this year's upcoming Grand Ball she would meet the man she was arranged to marry. The thing is, she had no prior knowledge of this arrangement, and she certainly didn't agree with it! The question now is will she submit to the fate expected of her or rebel against it so she can be who she wants to be?

• Theme Song:
Numb - Linkin Park
_{"I don’t know what you’re expecting of me; put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
I’ve become so numb, I can’t feel you there; become so tired, so much more aware
By becoming this all I want to do is be more like me and be less like you
Can’t you see that you’re smothering me?
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
‘Cause everything that you thought I would be has fallen apart right in front of you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
And every second I waste is more than I can take!”}

Kingdom of Wulfswinth

The Kingdom of Wulfswinth

_{"For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack." - Rudyard Kipling}

Kingdom Colors: Green and gold

Queen Adelaide (deceased)

King Matthias

What the Kingdom is Known For:
• Vast forests and open plains
• Lineage of influential kings
• Strong military
• Weaponry production

Kingdom History:
Wulfswinth was founded during the late Middle Ages, but before that, in its place was a corrupt kingdom. The kingdom profited from the suffering of others, essentially enslaving its people. Many disagreed with its rulers, but the few who tried to oppose them swiftly met their ends. That was until the knight Sir Artur Swinth. He staged a coup and successfully overthrew the corrupt leadership. The people were liberated from the tyranny of the previous king, and under the rule of the now King Artur, the kingdom flourished. The kingdom was soon renamed Wulfswinth to honor him and his wolf like strength and loyalty. Under King Artur and his successors, the kingdom of Wulfswinth grew in size and prestige. Today, Wulfswinth is nearly twice the size it once was and has built up a formidable military force. Overall, the kingdom of Wulfswinth is respected for its diplomacy but also feared for its strong military.

We. Are. Wolf. Strong.

The Hidden People

"Don't sound so excited for it, Sapphira," he said with a chuckle.

“Sorry,” Sapphira replied to Jack. She was admittedly a bit amused by how easily he threw sarcasm back at her. Other than the occasional eye roll, she typically tried to refrain from being too “sassy” as her mother had called it. Some people are more easily offended, but Jack didn’t seem to be one of those people. Nevertheless, she would try her best to be well-mannered towards him.

She walked beside him as they headed towards the cafeteria. She had to slow down her long strides to match his more leisurely pace. She noted that they were similar in height, with him being only two inches taller than her 5’10” stature.

"What lead you to want to be a Guardian? Being an elf, you've probably been alive for far longer than I have, so how long did it take for you to decide you wanted to do it?" he asked.

“I was born into a long line of Guardians, so it is really all I know. Both my parents were Guardians, though my mother stopped going on missions when she was pregnant with me and thereafter. My mother homeschooled me and taught me the majority of what I know today. Given the way she raised me, I never really wanted to be anything but a Guardian,” Sapphira explained. Truthfully she felt a pang of sadness in her heart at talking about her parents in the past tense, though she was skilled at not showing the emotion outwardly. She didn’t think the sadness and anger from losing them would ever go away, no matter how long she lived. Instead of letting it destroy her, she worked hard to let it fuel her.

She gave him a grateful smile when he courteously opened the door for her. She walked through the doorway and let her gaze take in her new surroundings. She recognized some of the people, namely the red headed woman with dark magic and the telekinetic Asian man. Her gaze then landed on the Fitzroy Wolfpack seated in the back corner. She had barely entered the cafeteria, and they were already brazenly checking her out! Her eyes narrowed slightly, the characteristic sign that she was getting annoyed or feeling threatened. She returned her gaze to Jack before she had a chance to do anything uncivil. It was best that she not start a fight unless utterly necessary. @Nightfury Kat

I love Teen Wolf! It is full of action and interesting creatures.

The Hidden People

The look the guys have when they see Sapphira's badass side for the first time. XD



I imagine her fighting style is like what you see in Marvel.

The Hidden People

@arca9 I like him. Seems just the kind of guy Jack would like to be acquaintances with.

As does Seamus.

@Nightfury Kat

Oh no. Poor Sapphira. D:
This is certainly going to be interesting.

The Hidden People

But the icing on the cake was watching the scared faces of the clueless newbies.

@arca9

That literally made me lol!

"Guardian applicant," he repeated back with a low whistle. "I've met a few Guardians - none quite so attractive, but I'm sure you hear that a lot - and I have heard how dangerous the test is. That is quite the impressive task to undertake."

Sapphira rolled her eyes at his not so subtle comment on her attractiveness. Yes, I have heard it a lot, and it gets old fast. I am not here to impress anyone with my looks. I only want to impress the people who will make me into an official Guardian. She thought to herself. She would let his comment slide, seeing that he glanced over it so quickly and complimented her on her choice of becoming a Guardian.

After a momentary pause, he continued, "I'm Jack, by the way. I hope you don't find this overly forward, but - have you eaten anything yet? I skipped breakfast for going to orientation, and I was wondering if you would like to continue getting to know one another while we got something to eat. We might have some classes overlapping, and I like to get to know people I will be seeing on a regular basis. I hear the cafeteria has an extremely extensive selection of food."

“I’m Sapphira. And sure, why not,” she replied. In comparison to guys she has dealt with in the past, he was being rather polite. She wasn’t tempted to punch him in the face or body slam him to the ground, so that was a good sign. She didn’t see anything wrong with getting to know him further. Besides, she could use some friends around here. She gestured for him to lead the way. @Nightfury Kat

The Hidden People

Oh, boy. I think my Fae genetics have just reeled in my first catch of the day. Sapphira sarcastically thought to herself as a glimmer of amusement passed through her eyes. She wasn’t blind to the fact that the characteristic ethereal beauty of most Fae had a way of entrancing people. As long as they kept their hands to themselves, didn’t spew out any perverted nonsense, and took no for an answer, she would treat them with as much respect as she did anyone else.

She maintained eye contact with the man while he spoke. It was one of many mannerisms that her mother had taught her was polite. “I’m interested to see what this year will hold. I can guarantee it will not be boring,” he stated before adding, “What are you studying?”

“I’m a Guardians applicant, so my focus is on anything extra I can learn from Gringore’s Guardian Training Program until I have the opportunity to take the test.” Sapphira replied to his question.

“Does it have anything to do with why you looked so serious looking around at the rest of the student body?”

Sapphira laughed softly, an unintentionally melodious sound. She inwardly cringed. Not exactly the sound of a warrior. “No, it did not. I don’t know how much you know about elves, apart from the obvious outer appearance.” She tucked her hair back to further reveal her pointed ears, emphasizing her point. “Elves can sense when someone has magic and identify what kind of magic it is. Being surrounded by so many magical beings, my power is working on overdrive. I was releasing some of the tension it had built up after ignoring it during orientation. There is quite a large variety of magic here. It’s astounding. There’s everything from power over nature, telekinesis, dark magic, water manipulation, and your ability to manipulate the weather,” she added. @Nightfury Kat

The Hidden People

As more people filed out into the courtyard, Sapphira’s power attempted to tug her in different directions towards all of the unexplored sources of magic. However, she didn’t feel like indulging its relentless pursuit any longer. She was about to close her mind off to it when a particular sensation buzzed louder than the rest, making her muscles instinctively tense.

Dark magic. An unsettling feeling, an inborn reaction, always washed over her when she sensed darker forms of magic. Her Fae magic seemingly didn’t get along with dark magic. Truthfully, she hated the instinctive reaction, knowing full well that the type of magic one has does not define the intentions of the person. Any magic can be abused.

Her eyes landed on the source of the dark magic, a red haired woman walking across the courtyard to the Asian man with telekinesis. She could sense that the woman had multiple powers within the realm of what she knew as dark magic. Fortunately, the woman’s demeanor seemed nonthreatening at the moment. Sapphira relaxed, letting go of her sudden uneasiness. Holding onto tension only ended up causing her to react without thinking. While useful in combat, it’s simply embarrassing in any other setting. She didn’t feel like having to explain to someone why she just body slammed them to the ground.

She sensed someone coming up to her, an individual with power over weather. She shut her mind off to her power and turned to face a handsome man with black hair and indigo eyes. His smile was infectious, and she easily returned it with a friendly smile of her own. “That was quite the thing, huh? Excited for the year to come?” he stated.

It took little thought to come up with a response, “I am most certainly excited. The profession I have been training all my life for is just within my grasp. How about you?” @Nightfury Kat
