Role Play

Personality:
Tendril has grown up quite a lot in the past years. She is learning to control her anger, though bouts of temper still rise in her from time to time. She is fiercely protective of the tribe and her friends, though she has taken to hiding her feelings about others.

She blames herself for hurting Mystic when she broke off the three-mating between herself, Dapple and Mystic, but she has come to realize that ignoring her hurt was only making things worse. Because of this, however, she is extremely guarded about 'letting anyone in'.

She is not as happy-go-lucky as she was when she was younger, and has become a bit more serious minded, though she loves a good prank and will often revert to her happier attitude.

Treasures:
The green wolf head staff that her father carved for her and a troll-made dagger that Nettle gave to her. Her mother's necklace and specialized troll-made 'whistler' sword that disrupts air currents when swung; especially proficient against spiders, snakes, scorpions and birds.

History:
Tendril's temper and strong plant shaping magic were dually discovered during her stripling years when a surprise attack from Land Loper humans nearly cost her father Foxears' life. Sparked by the youth's fear and anger of possibly losing her father, her plant shaping magic burst into life, ensnaring the murderous humans and quickly driving them away from the 'flame-haired tree demon'. Thereafer, the tribe's two elder plant shapers, Dawnmist and Firemoss, quickly began Tendril's tutelage in the ways of shaping and magic use.

But Tendril was not content to simply be a plant shaper. The excitement of youth demanded that she learn more and explore. Under the critical eye of Hunt Leader Snowspear, Tendril coaxed forth weapons training, focusing on the use of the spear and blade, although always prefering the feel of the spear and the bond she shared with its wood.

Dapple and Tendril have had a curious relationship. Born aunt and niece, respectively, with a mere two turns of the seasons between the two, it came as a surprise to find the young women soul sisters. Their relationship, however, hasn't always been steady and occasionally falls in and out of hardship as each struggles with the difficulties of growing up. When Tendril was still so young she could barely walk, Dapple found herself greatly jealous by the attention payed to her niece; attention previously reserved for Dapple alone. Insecurities put aside temporarily, they eventually became playmates and friends until Tendril left with Dawnmist to explore the canyons and forests, leaving Dapple feeling alone and still a cub despite her seniority, especially when Tendril returned with a soul name and wolf bond. Even still, they have weathered through each other's envey and passed into a smoother friendship.

When Tendril found herself seeking a lovemate, it was Mystic who's quiet wisdom and intense devotion drew her forth and they lovemated soon afterwards, as close as any Recognized mate. Theirs was not a relationship without strain, however, as Mystic struggled with his overbearing father, Slingstone, and Tendril watched behind tear stained, futile eyes. She found some comfort, however, among Mystic's mother and aunt, Harmony and Snowbird, and together the three women proded Slingstone to confront his guilt and make amends with his son, for the good of all.

Desiring to strike a balance between her magical and hunter sides, Tendril petitioned Hunt Leader Snowspear to be part of the Hunt, despite not being of Hunt blood. As per tradition, Snowspear required Tendril to test her hunting skills with the Hunt but Tendril found herself ill prepared and could not complete the task. As such, she has yet to be admitted into the Hunt and will have to petition the Hunt Leader and run a new challenge if she still desires to run with the pack.

Tendril's otherwise calm life has been thrown into chaos when her soul sister Dapple announced her love for Mystic and Mystic in turn admitted a fondness of like kind for Dapple. The two professed their desire to three-mate with Tendril but she agonized in giving an answer; the conflicted plant shaper feeling that Dapple's long-time competitiveness may have spread - whether consciously or unconsciously - to covetting her lovemate.

Tendril was faced with the decision of accepting the love of both Dapple and Mystic and three-mating with them both, or losing Dapple forever. The decision was not one she came to lightly, but there was really, in her mind, no other choice but to accept the three-mating. Soon after she accepted the love of Dapple and Mystic, the three of them joined together and decided to share a den. It was shortly after this that Tendril started wandering off by herself every now and then. Wanting to be alone, even from her lovemates. Though she loves Dapple and Mystic dearly, she still has trouble sometimes accepting the fact that she was not good enough (in her eyes) for Mystic to love solely.

When her first wolf-friend, Crescent, died, Tendril took it very hard. It was a depression that was not easy for the plant shaper to come out of, especially with dealing with the still new three-mating with Dapple and Mystic. During this time she became closer with Honeyhue, who had taught her how to use the bow shortly before Crescent's death. Tendril is focusing more now on becoming a member of the Hunt as well as being more independent.

Deciding that it was hurting her more then she was willing to bear any longer, Tendril broke off her relationship with Mystic and Dapple. Though she knew that this separation would hurt both Dapple and Mystic, she realized that she was only hiding the fact that it was making her more solitary.

Not liking the way that she was any longer, Tendril decided to make changes in her life, the biggest being the three-mating, the second being her failure to join the Hunt. Having 'grown up' a lot in the last few years, she is now focusing on living her life the way that she sees fit rather then how others think she should live it.
