I couldn't edit the previous post, so I decided to repost it. If this is ok, fills all the criteria and stuff, I didn't know if you could perhaps edit the other post with this one and delete this post or just simply delete the other post, whichever is easiest. Thankyou :3

General
Name: Erulassé Valadhriel ( eh-roo-lassie [like the dog] // va-la-three-el )
Alias: Eru, Ru, Lassie, Ru-ru ( usually puppies only )
Species: Mute Swan Myou
Gender: Female
Age: 10, nearly 11, Born May 3rd 2001
Pack: None
Rank: None
Physical
Height: 40"
Weight: 70lb give or take, I'm not very good with weights.Appearance: The very first thing that's noticeable about Eru is her age. She might not be as old as a Sennyo or other similar species but she's almost ancient for her kind. While she's relatively healthy, her age can be seen in the weathered lines on her face, the stiffness in her bones and joints, and the lack of weight and muscle a younger creature would display. She's grown old gracefully though, her pristine, ivory fur is still thick and warming, made for colder climes and interspersed with downy feathers. A long ruff runs around her neck, as well as extra fur on her tail, the backs of her legs, the tips of her ears and the bottom of her muzzle. Set into muscled shoulders are two massive great wings, the most impressive thing about this regal old female. Her wings are so large they dwarf those of a Keiyou, enabling her to lift her tall frame off the ground and travess the winds like the experienced flyer she is.
Despite the age that is weakening her bones and body, Erulasse still has perfect posture, she manages to look both proud and welcoming, regal and humble. Her eyes, coloured like the rich hues of coppery amber, are bright with wisdom and hope, trust and faith. Her jaws are still strong, bone-crunchingly so, strengthened by the hard bill of her second soul.
As well as age, Eru's personality is also very evident in her appearance. There's an air of warm, motherly welcome about her, from the relaxed stance she always seems to hold, to the open kindness apparent in her gentle eyes. She's no threat to anyone.
Mental
Strengths: ( I realize that there aren't five here, I really can't think of any and figured that, as long as she has enough weaknesses, it wouldn't matter too much. But if it does, I'll try very hard to think of a couple more... )i. Intelligence ~ Eru is very intelligent. Life experience is one of her best assets, though it's sometimes masked by her too-trusting nature.
ii. Flight ~ Eru has very large, strong wings, she's very proud of them and so keeps them as strong and well as possible.
iii. White fur ~ This is only really an advantage in the north, but it is a favourite place of hers, so it makes for great camouflage.
Weaknesses:i. Passive ~ Eru doesn't like to fight, she prefers to talk an enemy down rather than engaging in physical violence.
ii. Trusting ~ Eru is far, far too trusting, to a fault. She believes that everyone has some good in them, whether they'll admit it or not. She trusts her life to almost any wolf, which of course is a dangerous thing.
iii. Slow ~ Impeeded by those two massive great wings, Eru is often slower than another wolf of similar size and age, when on the ground. They hamper her agility somewhat.
iv. Age ~ Eru is very old, which slows her movements, weakens her and makes it harder for her to hunt and survive.
v. Absentmindedness ~ Mostly due to her age, Eru often forgets short term things. She can remember her past with the utmost clarity, but yesterday or last week often find themselves forgotten. This embaresses her a great deal, but she tries to cope with it as best she can.Personality: If there's one thing that defines Erulasse, it's her absolute trust in others. She never feels ill will or hate, never distrust or doubt. Every wolf is a friend for Eru, every soul has a light hidden inside, some may take longer to find it, but the old wolf is one hundred percent sure that it is there and it is findable, if you know where to look for it. Eru surveys the world with a mixture of pride, curiousity, joy and content. She's passive, rarely will others see even a spark of violence from the white lass, she believes in solving things with words, songs and gentle nuzzles. She will always help those in need, no matter their past or present ideals.
Of course, Eru will often find herself with a conundrum. Some things are incompatible and she's forced to choose between them. In this case, Eru will take the choice that leaves the least amount of casualties, whether that comes at a cost to herself or not. She will quite happily give her life for another, it's an incredible feat of amazing luck that's she's lived for as long as she has. She's a peacemaker and they don't last long these days.
While she is trusting to a fault, Erulasse is also old and traditional in many aspects of her life. She is always polite, well-mannered and well-spoken. She always gives respect when it is due, and sometimes when it's not. She will often chide youngsters when they show disrespect or bad behaviour, though only as a mother would, never cruelly or with vicious intent.
Despite her 'sunny' outlook in life, Erulasse has her fair share of traumatic memories, ones which she can never forget. She rarely talks about these because it's painful for her, but she doesn't blame those involved and has forgiven them. It's more the losses that hurt her.History: P.1. Born to a pair of predatory Myou, her father a lion, her mother a tiger, Erulassé had a hard time growing up. Her brother was a mouse Myou, her sister a small deer, all three were seen as failures by their fierce parents. The eldest by a fraction, Eru was always protecting her siblings from the various cruel punishments pressed by their parents. She was battered and beaten, but she took it without crying, her only wish to protect her siblings, her only desire for her parents to accept them. She was not strong in body, especially after the numerous beatings, but she valiantly kept a firm grip on life and sanity. The only thing that kept her strong in mind was her belief that evil can change, and though her parents didn't seem willing to, her faith grew and grew, the only thing she could find hope in.
As the time passed, she found that she had learnt enough to support herself, as well as her siblings, without the need of their violent parents. She stole away one night, as the small pack went out for a hunt, attempting to take her siblings on the run with her. Unfortunately, her parents got wind of the situation, their rage terrible in the moonless darkness. By morning, both her siblings were dead, strewn over the grassy meadow, while she was barely hanging onto life. What had saved her? Those brilliantly white wings, allowing her to escape the worst and collapse many miles away.
Surviving, the young she-wolf imagined that she heard the tears of remorse that night, in her painful stupor. And that simple imagination gave her all she needed for her faith to become unshakeable, her heart striving to forgive and forget. She looks to the future now, that night giving her the strength to carry on. Her life is all about protecting the weak and willing the cruel to change.
P.2. Since she arrived in Wonderwhy the first time round, Erulasse twice found a home and lost it again. First she joined the Fellowship, with Zahir, Raven and Revenge. She was happy there, she'd found friends in the members and a home. But, as with many things, the Fellowship soon fell apart, each member simply drifting away on the winds.
Afterwards, Erulasse created the Council of Free Minds with Rawls, Linnea and Apocalypse. The same thing happened with that pack, activity died and the members drifted on to bigger and better things.
Eru doesn't mind these failures, she doesn't blame others and she doesn't blame herself. Things happen and she's more than happy to accept that. Though since then, the old wolf is a little more careful when deciding on a home to belong to or a pack to join. She doesn't want to find a home and then lose it once again.
Other: Don't think so?
