Appearance
Aaricia's age has stripped the fat from her body, leaving a gaunt waist and thin frame. Yet her fur, thick and long especially near her head and tail, remains firmly in place though a bit grizzled. It is mainly a cream color, with brown across her back, shoulders, and hips and blue-gray ears. Her face and underbelly are white, however, somewhat helping to mask the whitening of the muzzle that is a universal sign of aging. Her eyes, once vibrant yellow, are growing paler with age, though her sight is still relatively good. The beauty she had in her youth has mostly faded, though still shows in the delicate structure of her face and the way she carries herself. Knotted into the thick fur around her chest is a length of sinew strung with bones - some wolf, some prey, all found rather than harvested - which show her rank.
Personality
Aaricia was once a very sheltered, easily dazzled girl - a beauty, in her youth, and somewhat vain. Age mellowed her, made her wiser and more steady, as did her lifelong mate Rhett. Now, she is a proud Bonekeeper of the pack, though her pride is for the pack itself rather than her own talents and abilities. She is level-headed, intelligent and traditional, though there is a toughness beneath her quiet surface that only shows when it must.
Flaws
Physical: needless to say, old as she is, Aaricia's senses of hearing and sight are diminishing. While her mind is still sharp as ever, she would have much trouble hunting for herself and depends on food brought by other pack members.
Personality: though patient, Aaricia's old vanity and pride still resurface occasionally, causing her to take things more personally than she really should.
History
Aaricia's parents were in good favor with the Alphas of several generations previous, and being the only one of her litter not stillborn and the youngest of the three children, she was raised hardly knowing a moment's want. At the tender age of two years she was most often found frolicking on the Wildflower Fields, free of responsibility and naive as a newborn. It was then, however, that the Bonekeepers of that time wisely matched her with Rhett.
Rhett was several years Aaricia's senior, and had come to the pack as a loner rather than being raised there as she was. Unlike his vain and innocent young mate, he had seen much of the world and was calm and patient, taking her under his wing (so to speak). In time, his teachings opened her mind and mellowed her attitude. Rhett died at the age of nine due to some sort of organ failure during a year of relative famine, but Aaricia - six years old at the time - took it upon herself to keep gathering wisdom so that she might serve her pack well some day.
