Name: Föl Vor Blóm (little spring flower) a.k.a Poppy /
Age: Young Adult
Gender: Female
Height:  28.5 inches
Weight: 70 lbs (much lighter than her brother and parents because of childhood sickness)
Build: Poppy is a wiry and lean girl. She has little fluff to her and her fur is often shaggy looking. She's a little rough around the edges, and not really a beauty. Her eyes are her one redeeming feature, as they are an unusually dark gray-brown, almost black. She also has eyebags, a leftover from her sickness, and her ribs still protrude. It'll get better as she gets older and gain strength. 
*update* Poppy's eyes are now clear and her ribs no longer show. She remains small, but has filled out so now she has a thickly furred mane and tail, though the rest of her will always be short-furred.

Personality: 
EDIT- Poppy is no longer mute, but uses words sparingly, often limited to a few words per response. But strangely enough, she doesn't seem like it. By looking at her, she seems chatty. In truth, it's her expressions that make her seem talkative.

Deep/Observant- Poppy is a thinker, largely because she cannot speak and can only observe, but she is still inquisitive by nature. She ends up spending a lot of time by herself or in the healer's den since there are no other pups to play with and her adult friends of course must get on with their daily tasks. So she'll watch whatever activity she can from whatever vantage point she has and will contemplate their behavior. She also likes to think deeply about the workings of nature and spends as much time as she is allowed outside, watching ants or examining plants. She often feels things on a different level from others, and will think much harder about something from every angle before she makes her mind up about it. 

Sassy- Also unexpectedly, Poppy has a bit of a sassy streak. She doesn't always do what she's asked, especially if it means going against her beliefs-even if her beliefs are that she should not go to bed the minute night falls over the Domain. Despite her illness early in life she is a spirited pup who knows what she wants and how to get it. She can't taunt in the traditional sense- but her smirk works just as well.

Old soul-Poppy is a classic example of an old soul. Whether it's only in the darkness of her eyes and the wrinkles leftover from her sickness, or her way of watching as if she had already lived many lives before is uncertain, but Poppy seems to understand the world in a way a young pup normally wouldn't be expected to.


Political- Poppy is completely obsessed with politics. Observing her pack's political movements since she was a pup, she came of the opinion that her brother's politics were skewed beyond measure. Seeing these mistakes has made her endlessly curious about other packs' politics. She blames her brother's mistakes for the misfortune Heylguard has suffered through. She hopes to learn as much as possible in the realm of politics so that she may never become like her brother.

Shy: Likely picked up from her brother, and now especially because of her fish-out-of-water situation in Highvalley, Poppy is skittish. She's much rather run than talk, and is awkward at best in any conversation. The fact that she has a hard time speaking in the first place doesn't make anything better. Get to know her better, however, and she'll open up easily.


Pre-Group History: 

Poppy shares her parents with Fitu, her older brother. Because Fitu was taken from his family as a pup, his parents ended up too traumatized to try for another litter, though they would not allow the other mated pair in the pack produce any pups themselves out of pride. When Fitu returned to them alive to make amends they finally felt ready to try again for pups. Their wish for Tungl Kona to become heavy with pup came true-but with this blessing came one of the worst winters they had ever encountered, and the spring was not much better. There was a drought which caused all the grass to be clipped by the ox herds and never grow back. The land was reduced to a wasteland of swirling dust and frost. Tungl again did not have enough food to bear more than one pup, and this one came in much worse condition than her son. Little Poppy (or Föl Vor Blóm) was born small and sickly, probably a little premature as well. She seemed to do well enough until she reached the age of 6 weeks, when she contracted pneumonia. Her mother and grandmother carefully attended her but the pup's condition only grew worse. One day a stranger came to stay overnight, needing a rest from his travels. Stor Orn told him the pack had little to offer him but the stranger said he needed little food and mostly rest. He told Stor's pack of another pack across the frozen sea, one led by a wolf named Fitu. It was said the pack held sanctuary for all those wolves in need, whether sickly or broken. Upon hearing this, Stor could not believe his ears. He knew his son had gone back to the Domain, but he was now an alpha? Stor's pride almost made him feel younger despite his hunger and cold. And beyond that, he had created a pack that was just the place his little sister needed- it might even save her. The wolf raced to the whelping den and told Tungl of the news. Without weighing the possible outcomes of her decision, Tungl wasted no time in preparing for her trip to Heyl. She fed little Poppy as much as she could muster, despite her miniscule milk store, and set off the next morning. Stor wanted to accompany her, or at least send another with her, but Tungl refused. One wolf would make the trip twice as fast as two, and a mother on a mission needed no distraction-or protection. They didn't call her Stone-Will for nothing! 

And so Tungl Kona gathered her weak coughing child and tucked her as close as she could to her chest to keep her warm, facing the pup backwards into her neck.  The journey was long and arduous. Many long stops had to be taken when the pup started a coughing fit, and Tungl had to wrap herself around Poppy to warm her and wait for the fit to stop. Crossing the sea ice was no easy task, and stops were impossible on the shifting ice. Tungl had to race and leap from flow to floe as fast as she could, worried several times that she would collapse from exhaustion and drop the pup in the water. Luckily, she arrived on Havir's shore safely. She encountered a border patrol, but when she told them of her situation they agreed to help her to Heyl. Once at the mouth of the inlet tunnel, Tungl and Poppy were once again alone. At least here there was no more snow or wind, and Tungl managed to catch fish and seabirds to get her milk flowing again. 

When they finally found their first Heylian, Tungl was relieved to see that it was her son. Fitu could not believe his eyes-both that his mother had come, away from Ellesmere, and that she had a tiny shaking bundle in her jaws. Tungl set the pup down and explained as quickly as she could that Poppy was sick and would need to be healed in Heyl-and stay there. Fitu tried to persuade his mother to at least stay the night, to eat and rest and warm herself, but she refused. If she did so, she explained, leaving her pup behind would only be that much harder and she might be tempted to take her back-which would kill the pup. And so with a last wistful look at her children, Tungl fled back to Ellesmere. 

Poppy took back her health thanks to the skills of Heyl's healers (her case was so severe that new recipes of medicine had to be mixed just to save her) but her voice was lost. Whether due to the trauma suffered by her throat or her brain, Poppy became a mute. This didn't stop her from learning to speak with her eyes, however, earning her the reputation of being an "old soul". This may also have been due to the odd depth to her eyes, as if she lived many lives before.
