.:Personality/History Information:.

Basic Personality:

Riesan is a quiet follower with an open and inquisitive mind. While she has been trained as well to fully follow orders, as opposed to her brother who would follow them straightaway, Riesan would be the type to consider the task at hand first if it means well for the general public. When following through a task, she normally leaves the decision-making to Raim, and if plan A fails she will be quick to supply a plan B. In their tandem fighting, Riesan is usually the "cannon fodder" - given that she is faster and lighter than her brother, she launches into attacks first, while Raim provides as support or backup.

Despite the fact that she is more open-minded than her brother, however, Riesan prefers to leave the speaking up to Raim while she silently stands by. If she has any opinion to express, she will usually confide it in Raim unless she is spoken to by those of higher authority. She is used, however, to having her thoughts and opinions put to the side, as Raim tends to "put authority first" before family. But she is content with this set up, and gladly assists Raim in any endeavor.

Raim and Riesan greatly value the fact that they are alive and breathing, and the awareness of their disability does not bother either in the slightest. Riesan in fact takes every opportunity to allow her other senses to witness the pleasure of what her eyes cannot see - the feel of the sun on her pelt, the breeze through her ears, the feel of the cool grass in the mornings. She is a bit more carefree than her brother in this regard, although when it comes down to business she is just as dutiful and reliable as Raim is. She is also extremely loyal to those whom she serves and loves, the only way to break her trust is if ill is done to her brother or the pack she belongs to. She is a fierce friend to those she cares for, and an equally fierce opponent to those who dare defy them.

Basic History:

Raim and Riesan were born to a litter of five, to the Beta Pair from the Pack of Badr. As all Arabian wolves are born blind, their actual condition was not realized by their parents until they grew a few months older. The pack was a strict one, known to be a powerful force in their lands, and weak wolves were either not accepted or disposed of, due to the alpha's belief that only the strong and fierce deserved to be in his pack. The two wolves' total blindness was realized by their parents when, on a walk in the woods, they noticed the two pups kept stumbling and bumping into rocks and trees. While the father wished to kill the two offspring as they were "worthless" to the pack, the mother took pity on the two pups but could not keep them in the pack for fear of them getting killed. So she hid the two pups in a hollow tree trunk lying by a lake, and abandoned them there.

About two or so weeks after the incident, warrior wolves from the pack of Sommerson stopped by the lake after doing battle with a rival wolf pack. One of the older warriors picked up the scent of the two pups, and found them huddled in the tree trunk, very close to death. Taking pity upon the pups, the older warrior brought them back to the pack and, with the alpha's permission, began to raise them as his own.

The older warrior noted immediately that the pups were blind, but as the pack of Sommerson prided itself on its strong wolves, the pups' disability merely served as a challenge for him. He began to train them in the way that he was trained, regardless of the pups' being sightless. He was a kind father figure to them, but at the same time was a firm coach and strict teacher. He taught the pups how to "see" using their other senses, and reared them in following pack rules, orders, and directives. Despite this rigorous training regimen, the pups were grateful to their teacher, and with this gratitude worked their hardest to fulfill his expectations of them. Eventually the pups became skilled warriors - so skilled, in fact, that the older wolf was pleased to note that they were even better than he was. Both wolves depended on their other senses, so much that they nearly didn't appear blind to others. They were more than capable in hunting, proving their worth to the rest of the pack. And in their fighting, somehow they managed to use their size and speed to their advantage, working in a tandem, like a tag team, so that they could accomplish their tasks easily and quickly.

Ultimately, aside from learning skills on survival and battle, the older wolf taught the pups how to value the fact that they were alive, despite their loss of sight. He renamed the male "Raim" and the female "Riesan", to remind them of the fact that, despite their disability, they were alive and well and were able to survive on their own just as well as any wolf with sight could. Raim and Riesan loved their mentor dearly, so much in fact that their loyalty to the older wolf surpassed that of their loyalty to the alpha.

When Raim and Riesan had become young adults at two years of age, their alpha passed away and was replaced by his eldest son. The heir was unlike his fair and just father, banishing the older wolves in order to make way for the "young and strong". Raim and Riesan stood up for their mentor, who had now grown older and could no longer fend for the pack, much to the anger of the alpha heir. In fact, he had never liked Raim and Riesan in the first place, since they were blind (and was severely jealous of the fact that they were more loyal to the elder warrior, AND that they were the most able warriors in the pack). A schism happened - a warring divide within the pack. While Raim and Rieson managed to fend off their own opponents, many older wolves died, including the wolf who mentored them.

Raim and Rieson banished themselves from the pack, denouncing the alpha's unjust rule over them, and have wandered ever since.
