Ava's personality is a bit quirky. She spaces off quite a bit, easily distracted by really anything that catches her interest. She always tries to think from everyone's point of view to find the best decision possible. Though she enjoys being around company, she doesn't like a lot of people being loud at once.. but if she had a good friend with her, she would think a bit differently as her mood will be more playful. Others tend to think Ava is a gentle, sweet, innocent elf. But once they get to know her more, they will see that she enjoys joking around, making witty, sarcastic remarks and isn't at all 'Innocent'. But she does only want to be happy and see others happy. She is often a shoulder a to lean on and she is willing to listen to other's worries and sorrows. Ava tends to sacrifice her own desires for the sake of others. And she enjoys doing it. But sometimes, but not often, she can found sulking, or upset because she felt like she sacrificed too much and gained too little from it. But then, she'd bounce back the next day.

[&]History: Ava, previously known as Trueheart was the first born of Kehn, and as far as she knows, the only child of Kehn. And she is second born of Londa, the younger sister of Talon. Born into a nomadic tribe, traveling and living on the road isn't unfamiliar to Ava. Though, Her father was growing tired of the constant move, he had decided they would leave to join Ember's tribe in Howling Rock. Though Ava wasn't thrilled to be leaving her brother and mother, she decided to remain at her father's side for now. Life there was fine and the human's never really did bother Ava. Though sometimes, their ignorance would, and Ava would try to help teach them. She learned, just like elves, all humans were different. One of the humans had taught Ava of Skin painting. Showing her the plant to use to make the paint and how to prepare it. Though, not particularly a useful skill, it was one Ava enjoyed. Ava also learned how to tailor clothes under Sooth-song as well as a couple of others.

Though Ava did have wolfrider blood in her veins, it didn't seem to show. She had not yet made a wolfbond,  And though she lived many years of her life with a tribe of mostly wolfriders who lived in the now and howled, Ava found herself wondering about life and new beautiful things. She would only hunt upon request and she wasn't real good with too many weapons unless it was a weapon that was thrown. It seemed she had the right flick of the wrist.


During her time in Ember's tribe, Ava slowly grew into magical feelings. It wasn't an active magic like rock shaping or healing. And she didn't learn it suddenly. It gradually grew, she began to sense when someone was using magic. She could sense the dark magic in some creatures. She became sensitive to the feelings in sends. Though, for a long time, she didn't tell anyone about it. And when the send from another tribe found Ember's, Ava heard it before some others but pretended she didn't. Her father, Kehn expressed his desire to go, because so many of his friends had gone before. When they first arrived to Howling Rock, Kehn felt a little awkward around the humans. He didn't feel right, but he tried to stay for both Ava, (Trueheart at the time) and Skyring's sake. But the years showed he didn't enjoy it. So, Ava told him he should go. She had no desire to go herself.. in fact she had other plans all together. Skyring said he'd be leaving too and Ava, though sad that yet, another of her friends would be leaving, she wished them both luck and to say hi to everyone for her.


A hand full of days passed before Ava decided to announce her magic. She decided to tell the others because she herself was beginning to notice a pattern. Every year, around the same time, while she slept as the sun was in the sky.. She'd wake to the feeling.. Distant.. far..almost seeming to reach out for her. One year, before she felt the magic, she decided to go out, begging Ember to let her camp out for just one night where she believed the magic would be. Her wish granted, she set out on foot with one of the tribe's wolves. She had a couple throwing knives and bolas. And she took everything she could that wouldn't weigh her or the wolf down too much.. She believed what was out there was a tribe of elves, much like the one she used to be in as a kid. And she had every intention of joining them and perhaps reuniting with her mother, her brother, her uncles and aunt. It was gut feeling, her intuition told her.. and her intuition wasn't too often wrong. Packing two rolls of fur blankets, a tent she had from her childhood, several pieces of clothing, three days worth of food.. and that would be stretching it out, and about four canisters of water. Ava hoped that the tribe of elves she believed to be out here would show up before she'd have to slink back home with no results.


How would she know exactly where she felt the magic come from? She wouldn't.. But she did know what tracks looked like. She was not a special tracker.. but groves in the ground, hardened over time.. Some brush touched by magic long ago.. There were little things that Ava noticed and that's where she set up camp. Two nights passed.. and while she slept.. she heard voices.. She heard the wolf bark, and growl. make a sound of uncertainty.  Ava woke with a jolt, grabbing only her small belt of throwing knives and darted of the tent, her body nude, dampened from sweat, her hair stuck to her face.. She then saw exactly what she was anticipating.. a tribe of elves. Facing their chief, their elders, she felt extremely embarrassed. Explaining what she was doing, where she was from, and who she was, she accepted, soon finding and reuniting with her older half brother. She sent the wolf back to Howling Rock, delivering a simple message that she would not be returning.

[&]Bonded animal:

- But there is a pony she seemed have taking a liking to named Sliver.

The pony is not a hunting pony, and is now an adult. He is a gray color and was originally named Silver. But they kept mispronouncing his name as Sliver, and it stuck.

His fur is a light gray, his mane and tail are white.

-A light light gray/dusty gray snake. Ava picked it up a few days after joining the plainsrunners when she saw the baby snake almost get trampled. Ava named the snake Knotty. Now the snake is full size, and she still keeps it around.

[&]Bond age (max is late 20s for wolves): N/A



Any other information: Trueheart changed her name to Ava when she met Tusk and his tribe the first time. Trueheart had played with the idea of revealing her soulname openly and wear it as her regular name. But when the time came, and she was asked who she was, she only got the "Av-" out before she felt her gut twist. Instead, she said her name was Ava. Abandoning the name Trueheart.
