Personality: Hava is a force to be reckoned with. Not in a bad way, but Hava is the kind of person who is truly a force of nature. Persuasive and powerful in her speech, Hava is deeply respected, and deeply impactful. In another life, she could have been a preacher or a cult leader or motivational speaker. When she speaks, people listen. She speaks with a deep conviction, speaks in a way that is inarguable truth. People quiet down when she talks, and her voice carries. She doesn't even necessarily say a lot, though long speeches are possible. But her words are hard to ignore. She carries herself with an inner strength. Nothing and no one will put her down. Not stubborn, she will listen to what others have to say, but if she believes something, she believes it, and that is seen most in her religion and the way she views the world. Fierce and confident, Hava moves through the world and she makes waves. Respected and loved by her pack, she is a voice of strong reason on the Council. Though a very strong fighter, her words are her weapons. Not heavily emotional - for all emotions, good or bad - she is incredibly level-headed, excepted for when it comes to Chieftain Jove Conrad of the Hesperus Tribe, who somehow manages to worm his way under her skin with a simple glance. She seems far older than she is - an old soul - and is deeply mature. Reserved in a sense, she just keeps her emotions to herself. Not bursting with energy, not bursting with anger, she is calm and level-headed. Peaceful, in a way, despite her fighting prowess. Deeply connected with her Bonded Pair, a wolfdog named Nakoa, he goes everywhere that she goes.

Likes: Nakoa, the Borah Tribe, Brokenridge, her home, her wolves, going for walks, reading, hiking, solace

Dislikes: being intruded upon, disrespect, being too far separated from Nakoa, fighting first before talking

Powers: Shifting into a wolf (looks above); heightened durability, strength, speed, senses, and reflexes while in human form.
Because she is Bonded, she also is faster, stronger, and better in a fight, she also has Berserker gifts

Backstory: Hava is a foundling of the Borah tribe. Found just barely in their borders, and so close to the human town that she was initially thought to be human, until Nakoa was discovered curled up alongside her, no one knows where she came from, except to know she is not an original member of the Borah tribe. Growing up, she and Nakoa, who had been curled up alongside her in the small ditch she'd been found in, stuck mostly to themselves, especially when very young. Taken in by an older couple, Hava was a quiet child, though when she spoke, her words were deeply insightful, especially for her age. Bonded from the beginning - especially rare in this generation - Hava was always a subject of deep curiosity. How had she and Nakoa ended up together, why had they both been abandoned? Answers that bother Hava to this day. However, soon people started listening when she spoke - truly listening - and it peaked an interest in the former Chieftain, Novu. He took Hava under his wing when she was 16 years old, taking her into his small council as an intern of sorts. She soon gathered a name for herself, and her love for Borah became even more widely known. Novu never had a mate of his own, or children, and named Hava as his heir. A Bonded as Chieftain - a Bonded with a Berserker spirit - was the talk of the pack up until she eventually took the mantle, and still talk continued. She has been Chieftain for three years, and grows deeper loved each year.

Other: She is originally from a very small tribe called Nineva, so small they barely exist
Nakoa got his name three days after Hava and he were taken in, the name coming to her mother in a dream
Hava is a mystery to her pack - not just her origins, but her; she keeps to herself, and keeps her private life between herself and those in her private life
Nakoa is, most of the time, like a big, cuddly puppy. So not scary or intimidating at all, but when he's fighting, or Hava is threatened? He's genuinely terrifying.
Nakoa looks below; he is a wolfdog; his lifespan is bonded to hers, he grows as she grows
