✮ motherly & caring
surprisingly enough, melantha - the one who can't trust, the stubborn she-wolf, the alpha with the tough exterior - is quite the motherly and caring figure. however, this is only reserved for pups. she has a mother hen kind of side to her, although she would rarely let it show. despite being the bad*ss she is, the idea of being a mother has never been repulsive to her in the slightest and so she would often take responsibility for members in need, specifically younger ones. being painfully honest and cynical is to be tucked back in such situations for the sake of calming down whoever it is who is in stress – overall going to melantha when you have a problem is certainly not the worst choice you could make if you were a little one, despite what it may outwardly look like. she doesn’t bite heads off for having trouble but rather will do her best to solve them; although, hint: they make her awkward.
✮ cryptic
at first glance, mel seems like a canine that has far too many secrets. there's a look in her eyes, a glint that shares some unknown joke with higher forces. it's in her smile, the equivocal way she speaks, the fragmented half-answers that seem to reveal more questions than answers. first impressions with her are difficult to gauge: she may have just been toying with you, and maybe she was testing you; it's hard to pinpoint if she's a superior girl, or a resigned one. no matter the verdict, though, a second meeting may reveal a 'melantha' totally unlike the one you initially met. this, at times, seems to throw others of more than anything else.
✮ independent
due to growing up with very few others, most of the time it only being her and her and an old friend, melantha isn't as social as it would seem, despite being an alpha. she does prefer being alone, enjoying the wild beauty of the untouched lands and relaxation that she can get. she doesn't focus on others to help her ( she tends helps them instead ) and doesn't like to disturb others. most of the time, she is alone, whether it's hunting alone or just going out alone. yet, she does enjoy leading the pack and being apart of things when the opportunity shows itself. she relies on herself to fix her own problems, and to take care of herself. she doesn't like being taken care of much, and will sometimes take the night-time to her advantage, looking for a bit of alone time. she doesn't involve others when she has problems, not wanting to include them in her personal dramas, and does value personal space quite a bit. she does not like those who invades her privacy. as a youngster, her trust was put into someone, only to be hurt in the end.
✮ overprotective
not dealing very well with loss is something that has made mellie part of who she is today. she hates losing those she loves, which is why she's protective. while it could be called jealousy ( or at least linked to it ), she is protective of everyone she loves or is very close to, and if she likes a male, she will be uncomfortable when he's around other females or canines that could be attracted to him. even if it's a more family like love, she is protective. some could call her bossy, but she doesn't want to risk anyone getting hurt, her loved-ones or even her pack-mates. she doesn't like taking unnecessary risks, and will try to avoid them as much as possible.
✮ sarcastic
mostly around close friends and family members, melantha has a tendency to sarcastically comment on anything stupid or embarrassing they do. she means no harm, but her patience sometimes gets strained if other canines around her cannot be serious most of the time. quirky and cheerful figures trigger this feature more often than reserved, thoughtful wolves. either way, her sarcasm is never really hurtful, just some rather negatively hinted comments about what others are doing so they at least try to behave a little.
✮ stubborn
if you’re trying to change her mind- and very open and persistent about it- this stubbornness is rather quiet. melantha may sit there and listen to someone who is trying to convince her of something that she disagrees with- in this case, a femme or brute who is trying to change her opinion- and she might just remain silent, at most giving a slight shake of her head, and perhaps nodding along if she thinks that’s what they want, but she will not change her mind. the way she sees it, her opinion is her opinion and it’s not going to change just because someone doesn’t think it’s the right one, but she’s not going to try to make the other figure see her way unless they really get on her nerves about it. but mel can also not be quite as silent in her stubbornness. she’s a girl that will stand up for others if they’re getting bullied in any way shape or form, and she will refuse to back down until the stronger (minded, bodied, opinionated, doesn’t really matter how they’re stronger) member apologizes or walks off. in an argument, she will stand her ground even if she realizes the other side is right, because she refuses to admit she is wrong. another side to her stubbornness is the wolfhound's personal ethic to always stand by what she says. if she says she’ll get something done, she’ll get it done no matter how much danger she has to go through, or how much persuasion she has against it. if she says she didn’t do something, you will never get her to say that she did it, even if she did. her loyalties, her desire to live, there is almost nothing about this female that isn’t stubborn, and it’s fairly obvious that while it may be a good thing, it will also get her into her fair share of trouble.
history.
melantha was raised by two wolves named heileen and maverick. both played a certain role in the packs; maverick was the gamma, and heileen was his mate. the mother ( heileen ) served as a healer or 'doctor' to the pack, mending the wounds of injured dogs and wolves. maverick was a loyal wolf. the thing was, melantha wasn't mavericks daughter; she was the beta's daughter. it was a shame, too, he never knew. it was good, though, because they all had what they wanted; melantha had a father, heileen had a healthy puppy and a loyal mate. the beta, a husky, had his secret affair and child hidden from the world.
at the time, when mel was only a puppy, melantha was in the armada which was then known as the valkyre. she was a quiet, reserved, and shy little thing. that was until she befriended ezekiel. melantha went from a shy puppy to a rebellious, adventurous little she-wolf. no matter what, melantha was always at ezekiel's side, and if not right beside him, she was following him. carefully and slowly, melantha began to become his shadow; she looked up to him, admired him, and she wanted him to be her best bud. setting her mind to this goal, she eventually succeeded. it was wonderful for mel, but then the alpha did something melantha would never forgive; he banned most of the wolves from the valkyre pack. melantha and her parents were forced to leave, along with many other of the wolves in the pack. this put an end to their friendship, in melantha's eyes, at least. although it wasn't his fault, melantha made it her job to avoid ezekiel whenever she even thought he was nearby.
melantha watched as the nightwings was slowly formed. her parents were killed while trying to defend most of the wolves who were being driven out. another wolf decided to take melantha in, so the alpha raised mel as her own. melantha grew up; she chose to leave everything behind. she never went looking for ezekiel, she never went to seek his forgiveness. she was promoted to be the beta, and when her adoptive mother died, melantha took place as the new alpha.
during a few months into her new promotion, mel was out taking a walk when she discovered a little bundle of fur. not wanting the puppy to die because of the disease, she took the puppy in. later, she found her name to be vela. mel saw something in the little one, and from there, she raised vela as her own. in mel's eyes, it seemed much easier then having to suffer pain from actually giving birth.
