Character & History
Personality:
Kearen is the last pureblooded elf born in the tribe, and he knows it. He tries to resent the Wolfriders, but knows that without them he would barely be able to survive. He longs to the stars and knows about stories of their origin, and wants nothing more than leave this primitive world (even though he doesn't know how), and tries to convince Taellin that he is right. Though they have been occasional lovemates, she strongly disagrees with him. He feels misjudged by many, not taken seriously, and therefore, will snort at many. This leads to conflicts with especially the chieftess who states that every elf in the tribe must fulfill their duties in the group and if he wants to stay part of the group, he will have to work for it. He performs his tasks, but reluctantly.
The fact is, that he feels excluded from Wolfrider celebrations just because he is not a Wolfrider. Despite the efforts the Wolfriders make to include him in everything, he feels different and sometimes lonely. He likes spending time with Taellin but despite her pure blood, she has more connections with the Wolfriders than he ever will, and that itches him.
Kearen is able to call every one by name just by studying them for centuries and because he spends his time mostly by watching the sky, he has learned how the clouds behave. Therefore, he is able to predict the weather fairly decently. Because Halfnote will seek his advice in this, he feels he has at least one important duty that they cannot take away from him.
History:
Kearen was born to Gynthe and Civet, in the third generation which was mixed with both Wolfriders and Pureblooded elves. Slowly but steadily, he saw his friends - both wolf blooded and pureblooded - die and disappear, which left him in a bitter mood. At the devastating High Tree Massacre he felt disbelief about how humans could do such things against fellow inhabitants of the world and he fled in panic, ending up all alone. Only a month later he was found by a scouting party sent out by chieftess Midnight to gather up survivals, and ever since, he felt different.
That was the moment that he started to feel the longing to the stars. In stories he had learned that their ancestors had lived on a planet without any war, without torments, and that is precisely where he wanted to go to. When he enthusiastically explained his idea to his fellow tribesmates they made joke about the matter - the Wolfriders, who lived in the now, were not interested in living amongst the stars. This was their home now. He hated them at the moment for making fun of him.
Slowly, over time, the uncomfortable feelings made him to lock himself out from the Wolfrider existence, and he did it all by himself. The friends he had left died -- because of age or because of accidents -- and he lingered in his sadness that he was all alone. He occasionally sought out Taellin for comfort who was willing to give him that, but who wouldn't want to hear about his ongoing stories about the stars. She told him that he would have to accept his life on this planet, because there was no going back.
Grumbling, he settled down in the lowest dens of the Father Tree of Mist Valley Holt, and though his ideas about going back still linger in his head, he will barely speak of them again, afraid they will make fun of him. His personality, however, is far from sunny, still. His lovemating with Berrywine is something he does enjoy, though. Because of her age, he feels closer to her than to the other wolfriders and loves to share his knowledge with her.
