The Amulet

While Thornhaven is by no means intended to be an ‘evil’ group, they are not strictly morally good. Plots involving indentured servitude/slavery, kidnapping, violence, and more may be present.

More info about Thornhaven, the pack the Amulet are from, can be found in the doc & a wip family tree can be found here!

The Amulet have been a part of Thornhaven far longer than anyone can remember, guiding the pack from the sometimes-comfortable, sometimes-deadly seat of power within the Autumn Court. The Amulet have wielded rarely-contested power within the Autumn Court for generations upon generations. They are a clan of silver-tongued and sharp-fanged snakes, lurking in the shifting shadows of the twilight of seasons to pull the strings of fate to their favor.

Amulet generally consider themselves to be intrinsically bound to Thornhaven, and take their duty to participate in the betterment of the whole seriously. However, they also tend to encourage a strong loyalty to Amulet kin and Amulet interests above all. As one can probably guess, raising generations of spies and diplomats has made the Amulet family, although powerful, extremely prone to double or triple-crossing one another in pursuit of power or other goals. The family has also occupied a pseudo-royal role in the pack for generations, meaning that there is a culture of arranged, political marriages. Marrying for love is a childish notion meant for wolves who do not have the wonderful luck to be born an Amulet, is the general teaching. As a rule, an Amulet is encouraged to do whatever serves the Autumn Court, as long as that action will not incite a scandal (or can be covered up successfully.)

Of course, not all Amulet ascribe to all of these teachings, and all of them have unique perspectives on their familial heritage.

The current Monarch of the Autumn Court, and head of the Amulet family, is Harvest.

APPEARANCES
Amulet can come in any number of colors and patterns. Autumnal colors, including dark browns, purple hues, tan, orange, gold and more are all common but not required. Affairs, as long as they are not discovered and ESPECIALLY not flaunted, are permitted but Amulet are traditionally encouraged to avoid having children until they are wed - this way, all of the pups can be technically claimed to be of upstanding heritage.

A key feature common amongst Amulet are distinctive and plentiful face marks, often including geometric but natural shapes like rough diamonds, flecks and blazes. They tend to stand tall and slender, like many Autumn wolves, but genetic variation is plentiful amongst the clan.

Hex Nightstar Amulet
3 yrs - female - married - weaver
Harvest's litter-sister, Hex is a responsible and mature young woman who has long and contentedly occupied the role of Harvest's right-hand. She is typically soft-spoken and reserved. Much of her family sees her as a rebel, as she eloped with a Summer woman before any efforts could be made to find her an arranged match. She regrets nothing, and is head-over-heels for her wife, Marlow. They have two adoptive children. Hex prefers to avoid the more sleazy and overtly manipulative aspects of her Court and family - she advises Harvest, tells the stories he needs her to, and tries to enjoy a simpler life. Her talent as a Weaver and familial connections often make this difficult.

Odysseus Orchard Amulet
1.5 yrs - nb or male - unmarried - diplomat
Odysseus is one of the babies of the family, and it shows - They use their cheerful, sunshine-y personality to charm their way into trouble and back out with little care for consequence. They are impulsive and energetic, a warm-souled contrast to the hair-trigger temper of their littermate, but generally a source of either frustration or disappointment for their family. Ody is trained to be a diplomat but seems to have picked up few of the Amulet's usual conniving, cutthroat ways. This is only partly true - Odysseus is young, and naïve, but just as clever as the rest of their family. Growing up the younger sibling to the Monarch and one of the most talented Weavers in the Court has made Odysseus insecure of their value to the family, resulting in an effort to be a warm cup of ginger tea during the cold dismay that, these days, frequently flurries through their ranks.

Interested in an Amulet?
Dm me on discord @ Giraffeine an expansion on their personality and any other info you'd like to include in the audition. The character will remain mine and able to be reclaimed for any reason until you have made 50 posts with their account, at which point the design and character will be yours.
