DotW | Joseline of Riverfell

[debonair]
Over the years, Joseline has gained an immense sense of self-worth and confidence. In Riverfell, she found a task which suited her talents, and her success in this task showed her that she does in fact have many things she is good at, despite what she had been told by her own father in the past. Her confidence practically radiates off of her, but her incredibly charming nature and genuine kindness make her humble. Joseline believes in her own worth but does not see herself as above anyone else. She believes everyone has their own unique talents that make them special, and she is no more "special" than others. She does not brag about herself and accepts any praise she is given gratefully and without even the slightest hint of arrogance.

[pushover]
Her kind nature and discomfort with confrontation make Joseline a wolf relatively easy to take advantage of. Anyone from adults to elders to pups can potentially push the poor girl around and get away with many things that most would not allow. Joseline is especially susceptible to being "pushed around" and taken advantage of by pups because of her distaste for any form of discipline (given her upbringing). She has an especially difficult time telling others "no" and will allow herself to be overworked if implored to by a superior. However, there are some things that Joseline will not allow, specifically when it comes to her duties as a Rider. Trades are about the only time Joseline takes a firm stand on anything, not allowing herself to be swindled or tricked out of a fair bargain.

[gallant & protective]
When it comes to protecting her loved ones and packmates, Joseline is recklessly brave. She will put herself in harm's way without question and without hesitation. She endured a great deal in her childhood, and it was years before she developed the thick-skin she has now. Joseline is not without fear (really, she has a great deal), but she has the ability to get past it and do whatever needs to be done to protect others.

[loving & empathetic]
To practically anyone, even wolves she does not know personally, Joseline is incredibly compassionate and caring. She loves everyone, so long as they do no harm to anyone else. In her interest and love for others, Joseline takes great care in learning about them and listening to whatever they have to say. She can listen to another's troubles with careful and genuine attention and is incredibly understanding of their struggles, thoughts, and feelings. Though she may not see eye-to-eye with everyone, she strives to at least try and understand their motivations and feelings.

[gullible & trusting]
Trust, while something Joseline does not give away completely freely, is pretty easy to win from her. In those that she believes to be kind and honest, Joseline will give her trust. All one would have to do to win her over is treat her kindly, and she will readily let down her walls. Her trust is rather easy to gain, and she gives so much that it is easy to take advantage of. She's extremely easy to trick if you hide your intentions with a veil of friendliness.

[forthcoming]
For better or worse, Joseline is not much of a secret keeper when it comes to her own thoughts, feelings, and affairs. She will willingly divulge whatever is on her mind if asked by one of her packmates.

[spontaneous]
Joseline flies almost entirely by the seat of her pants. She's extremely emotion-driven and does most things on a whim. Careful planning is practically a mystery to her, and the only sort of real planning she does relates almost solely to her Rider duties.

[cheerful]
Remarkably, given her childhood and the current state of affairs in the Domain, Joseline has an incredibly cheerful disposition. Often, she can be seen smiling or laughing or enjoying a packmate's company looking utterly content. She's endlessly optimistic (though, during the Hive Wars, this optimism has definitely diminished) and can almost always see the light at the end of the tunnel. In tense situations, she can lighten the mood without difficulty when the situation calls for it.

[responsible & hard-working]
As a youth, Joseline was allergic to any kind of hard work, but her time in Riverfell has transformed her. No longer the lazy youth she once was, Joseline's newfound confidence and place within a pack that truly feels like home has given her a huge boost in drive and motivation. She strives to do her best work and do what she can to keep her packmates provided for. As she has ascended in the ranks and become more skilled as a Rider, Joseline has gained maturity that she had not had before. She does her duties with great care and attention and makes sure to always stay on-top of everything that she needs to do. On occassion, she even goes the extra mile, bringing back a little extra gift from a trade for a packmate if Riverfell has the resources to spare.
