Syamay is co-owned between myself and Lirrie. I adopted her, however.
Personailty: May is a jaded wolf, spiteful and vengeful to all that cross her path. She seems to be the perfect mate for Shiva, the evil leader of the dark forces pervading the North, but she would much rather have him dead. Before Shiva arrived at the North, she lived in the Schattenland with a chip on her shoulder and hate in her heart, though she has never killed a living being out of pleasure. She prefers to play with their mind and break them mentally.
History: May was born in the dead of winter, and, from the first minute she saw her siblings, she loathed them. She hated how they cried for milk, or food, or water, or warmth… and she, because she was far too proud to do such a thing, waited staunchly until a teat, chunk of meat, or mouthful of water was offered. Her ice-blue eyes from birth became flinty as she grew, matching how sharp she became toward others.
She left her pack at a year of age, unable to stand the whining that issued from everyone except her giving parents, both of which became more and more ragged as her littermates- as she no longer considered them siblings- demanded more and more nourishment. She headed straight to the darkest area of the North, finding the solitude in the valley of the three volcanoes comfortable enough for her to establish herself.
Her only ‘friends’ at the time were a pair of vultures, who screeched back at her when she howled or growled into the sky. She didn’t know their names, nor did she care to; the meaning of ‘friends’ was worthless to her. During thunderstorms, she watched and waited with a large chunk of meat at her feet, wondering if they’d dare fly over through the bolts of lightning, and if she’d soon be having cooked vulture for dinner.
Her settlement didn’t last long; Shiva arrived in the Schattenland the following winter, and first tried to force her into being his mate. When his motives became clear, she slashed his face and denied him, chasing him away with snarling, snapping teeth. He, however, came back with a gang of hyenas, who proved to be too much for her to handle, and so she ran to the outskirts, where she found a large tunnel.
Though a bit unorthodox, she stayed underground, knowing the hyenas would never find her there. She killed the large badgers that returned to their home, and saved their carcasses for future meals. On occasion, she would dig a little bit more space for her new home, but she mostly left it the way it was, and slept on a bed of dry grasses and leaves.
Well, she did, at least. Until a small group of rebels arrived at her door, asking for her help and knowledge as to a path through the little-known lands she had once called her home. With the promise of eventually getting her lands back, she agreed, wanting little else than revenge on Shiva for daring to try to force her to mate and chasing her out for denying him. Her dream is to laugh at him as the lights fade from his eyes.
Other: I may add a few bone accessories, but I think blue eyes suit her well. I’m thinking of tying in the idea that her worst enemy is herself, though she believes it is Shiva that opposes her.
I’ve loosely tied her to the lyrics of Linkin Park’s “Faint” Demo, supplied below. That’s the song I’m going to be listening to as I write her; the character vibe I’m getting from her nearly matches the (admittedly, partially nonsense) theme of the song.
Faint (demo 2002)
Back, before I said goodbye,
Just as the first day turned to night,
Just as the concrete turned to dust,
And the steel turned into rust,
All I could think was I need a way to dig through the damage,
Couldn't think of a way to get through this,
Now I see you takin advantage,
And I found another reason to do this.
I'm diggin us a hole to travel through,
I wanna find a way to rattle you,
You wanna try to hear the thunder hit,
You're gonna have to follow me under it.
Let go, it's begun,
Close your eyes, I'm not done,
Breathe a word, and waste your breath,
And keep it up till there's nothing left.
Now, that I said goodbye,
Just as the darkness turned to light,
Just as the next light turns to day,
And the world gets underway,
All I can see is the anticipation,
Waiting to take this out on the wind and the raindrops,
And I waited patiently taking it in,
Ready for the first of the face offs.
I'm diggin us a hole to travel through,
I wanna find a way to rattle you,
You wanna try to hear the thunder hit,
You're gonna have to follow me under it.
Let go, it's begun,
Close your eyes, I'm not done,
Breathe a word, and waste your breath,
And keep it up till there's nothing left.
I'm diggin us a hole to travel through,
I wanna find a way to rattle you,
You wanna try to hear the thunder hit,
You're gonna have to follow me under it.
I'm diggin us a hole to travel through,
I wanna find a way to rattle you,
You wanna try to hear the thunder hit,
You're gonna have to follow me under it.
I'm diggin us a hole to travel through,
I wanna find a way to rattle you,
You wanna try to hear the thunder hit,
You're gonna have to follow me under it.
Let go, it's begun,
Close your eyes, I'm not done,
Breathe a word, and waste your breath,
And keep it up till there's nothing left.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
