<div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Alpha Wolf's Mate</span></strong></div><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Reana Shepherds<br/><strong>Age:</strong>19<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>Reana overlooked her sheep, slowly walking besides him.  Her somewhat weary blue eyes looking away from him to look forlornly at the fence that locked her and her flock into the 'grazable' pastures.  It seemed the grass was always greener.  Wearing a cloak that hid her dark long tresses to protect her fair skin, she moved her staff to signal Boyo, her sheepdog, to move the flock west towards the rock she preferred to rest on for her to sleep in the afternoon.  The near broken bell on the staff's end, blessed at one of the few churches in the accursed country, jingling softly as she moved with them.  As she walked to her rock, soft and small but supple pink lips recited the Lords prayer, reminding herself more of her duty than of her belief in God.  In a God-less country, he wouldn't help her, all she could hope was that he'd help keep her sheep alive.  Her lithe form climbing on top of the rock as Boyo automatically did his job to settle the sheep and keep them close.  Taking off her cloak to lay it on the rock - in the middle of summer, the rock was much too hot - the length of her dark curls were revealed as it tumbled out of the cloth down to the small of her back.  Taking her water sac, she doused her hands and face, to help see to it she didn't burn as she layed down in the sun.  Curling against the rock, her small form made a ball as she slowly fell asleep so that she may stay up the coming night.<br/><strong>History:</strong>Reana is a Shepherdess, the only profession hated more is that of a Shepherd in their country, even though they are necessary for clothes to be made.  Hated why, one might ask?  While not in the commission of the Church in the Country of Wolves, but the Lords and King, they do what is seen as the most troubling to any commoner:  They fight with wolves.  And in a country where werewolves are made Lords, that does not make them popular as a few have even put werewolves down while protecting their flock.  Still, Reana finds what happiness when she can, caring for her little brother to allow her parents their time as husband and wife and watching the people at the markets when they are held.  A kind soul that only bites when bitten harshly, she doesn't mind when the vendors sell her the worst burnt pieces of meat at the market - "It only makes the good bites better!"  Her father and mother are in the sheep herding profession as well, such a disliked profession as always being hereditary.  Her little brother is expected to go along with the profession as well and the family is hoping to get him a dog soon for him to train from the markets.
