Here is a Character Bio list, this first part focusing solely on the Magnolia pack!
_______
MAGNOLIA PACK (the pack they were born into)
-
Seff Bleize
Name meaning: Wolf
Age: 18
Hair and eye color: White, green
Height: 5’6”
Birthplace: Magnolia pack
Current pack: Sun
Family: Linden (mother), Alarik (father), Sloe and Fern (brothers), Zinnia and Calla (descendants)
Bio: The youngest of three and only daughter of Linden (Omega) and Alarik Bleize (Alpha), Seff was raised at Magnolia Manor. When she had her first heat (similar to a menstrual cycle, applicable only to Omegas) at the age of twelve/thirteen, she did not produce slick, which was very abnormal and rare. When she was eighteen, she Presented (the public and official way for a wolf in their pack to claim their scent defining them as an Omega, Beta, or Alpha) as an Omega, much to her dismay, as that made her eligible to be Chosen as a consort by either Kiran or Selene. Thanks to her mother, she grew up hating and fearing the Alphas instead of worshipping them.
Seff is kind and smart, if a bit shy and observant rather than her outspoken packmates. She enjoys being sexually active like all werewolves. She was in the accident that killed her parents when she was ten years old. She felt guilt for surviving while they did not, and since then, her personality became more subdued, dampened by her older brothers’ mistreatment and blaming her for the deaths.
She also has a hidden store of bravery she was unaware of until a dire situation calls for her to be. She will defend her friends at whatever cost. Though subtly, she is determined to follow her own path and live the life she feels she deserves.
_______
Linden Amaranth-Bleize
Name meaning: “Matrimony,” “unfading love”
Age: 36 (Deceased)
Hair and eye color: White, green
Height: 5’6”
Birthplace: Magnolia pack
Bio: A daughter of the Amaranth dynasty, a founding family of the Magnolia pack, Linden was burdened by the secret of her foremothers: that there were doppelgängers/reincarnations in their bloodline, and those two had been soulmates with the infamous Moon and Sun Alphas.
Fear had been bred into her by her mother and grandmother’s obsession with the “Amaranth records,” a collection of letters, journals, and research written down by each generation chronicling information regarding the phenomenon as well as the Alphas’ consistent spying on their family as they waited for the next reincarnation.
Her childhood with paranoid females made her stoic and no-nonsense, but she fell in love and mated with Alarik Bleize of the Lovell pack before she could be forced into the Choosing ceremony. Linden blamed Kiran and Selene for the misfortune of her family as well as the “consenting kidnapping” of her packmates.
She believed the females of the Amaranth line were cursed; giving birth to only one daughter (after having twin boys) enforced that belief. She felt isolated and swore to herself that her daughter did not deserve to bear the weight of the Amaranth secret. Afterward she did all she could to hide away the name itself so Seff would never hear it.
Linden befriended Wisteria Ren, who just had her own daughter, after giving birth to Seff, bonding over their rare births. They raised their daughters to be as close as sisters, as they had grown just as close.
She loved her mate, Alarik, and they both entrusted the Magnolia Alpha, Hyacinth, the secret. She did not trust easily, and it was her downfall.

_______
Zinnia Amaranth
Name meaning: “Lasting affection,” “unfading love”
Age: 24 (Deceased)
Hair and eye color: White, green
Height: 5’6”
Birthplace: Magnolia pack
Bio: Born into the Magnolia pack’s small village, Zinnia grew up with her parents and twin sister. She grew up sweet but with spunk that would later attract Kiran Cyrus. When she was sixteen she started a romantic relationship with Larkspur, a Magnolia Alpha male. It ended up being a toxic pairing; Larkspur threatened that if she ever told her family he would kill them. They ended up having twin daughters and lived together.
After turning eighteen, she meets Kiran Cyrus as he passes through the town. They do not feel the mating bond immediately but do take an immediate interest in one another. Kiran charms her enough to risk meeting him. Through a short period of time, they fell deeply in love.
But when Larkspur found out, he saw Kiran as a threat to his relationship with Zinnia. The day the two were supposed to leave and travel the world, Larkspur decided to punish Zinnia for her “unfaithfulness” by forcibly removing her uterus so she could never start a family with Kiran.
Kiran nearly killed Larkspur, but Zinnia’s plea stopped him. He carried her out and away from the Magnolia village as they are swarmed by the rest of the pack, who don’t chase after Kiran threatens them.
Within an inch of her life, she and Kiran feel the mating bond snap into place.
She ends up surviving, but the wound is severe enough that not even self-healing abilities can make the scar disappear.
Her deep depression faded over the five years they spent together, wandering without destination or visiting the construction of Apollo’s Keep. Zinnia did not fight his lifestyle established before she came along and even became friends with some of his consorts and children.
When she was twenty-four, they are staying in a cabin that Kiran built for them. Human hunters from a nearby town attack and fatally shoot her. She dies of her wounds.
_______
Calla Amaranth
Name meaning: “Beauty,” “unfading love”
Age: 23 (Deceased)
Hair and eye color: White, green
Height: 5’6”
Birthplace: Magnolia pack
Bio: Calla is the granddaughter of Zinnia Amaranth, born into a larger Magnolia pack. She has twin daughters by an Alpha male who loved her dearly. She was kind and soft-spoken but also had a hidden ferocity to protect who/what she loved.
When Selene came through the town, much like Zinnia and Kiran, Calla felt the mating bond immediately fall into place. But when she is offered the chance to follow Selene, it takes some time for her to agree to leave her sheltered life and family behind. Eventually, she goes and they are able to spend two years together.
She meets Kiran after he is invited to Castle Night, which triggers something like deja vu inside Calla, and she is overcome by Zinnia’s memories of him. She picks up the journal she kept and wrote all she saw and felt, which she entrusts to her Magnolia friend.
She is too afraid and confused to reason with Kiran, and he kills her.
_______
Hawthorn Henbane
Name meaning: “Hope”
Age: 18
Hair and eye color: White, green
Height: 6’0”
Birthplace: Magnolia pack
Bio: Born a twin, Hawthorn grows up friends with Seff and Allium, developing a crush on Seff from an early age. His charm and chivalry make up for his lower intelligence, as like most Alphas, he is focused on the strength of the body over the mind. He spends most of his time at the Frisk Floors but would always rather be with Seff.
_______
Hyacinth Furze
Name meaning: “Loveliness/jealousy”
Age: 40s (Deceased)
Hair and eye color: White, green
Height: 6’1”
Birthplace: Magnolia pack
Bio: The Furze family were nominated as the pack leaders for five generations, and Hyacinth earned the title when he won a duel against a challenger for the same title. He ruled fairly if not neutrally. Taking two Omega wives but never mating with either, he does genuinely care for his pack and would do anything, no matter the consequence, to protect them. But he inherited the burden of “working with” Selene and Kiran and feared their influence over his “domain.”
With misdirected injustice, he believes the best course of action when learning the secret of the Amaranth records is to eliminate the risk but killing his own friends Linden and Alarik along with Seff. He does feel remorse, but the safety of the pack is greater; he wants to keep the peace between Selene and Kiran and keep his system in place.
_______
Allium Ren
Name meaning: “Unity, humility, patience,” waterlily
Age: 18
Hair and eye color: White, green
Height: 5’5”
Birthplace: Magnolia pack
Current pack: Sun
Bio: A rare single child, Allium bonded with Seff since birth. They were inseparable and promised to be friends through thick and thin. However, she was enamored with the prospect of breeding with the godlike figure of Kiran, her life’s dream to join the Sun pack. She fixated on it enough that it strained her friendship with Seff. She was too proud to admit fault when she was so close to her goal.
Coming to the Sun pack separated her and Seff in more ways than one, and she realized she was alone in this new and dangerous place. But she was angry when Seff “stole” Kiran as he was suddenly obsessed with her, “ruining” her chance to be Kiran’s favorite.
But the longer the two females spent apart, the more Allium regretted how she treated her friend so badly. She tried to redeem herself by protecting Seff with a great self-sacrifice, and while it did mend their relationship, Allium was still bitter, because that sacrifice almost cost the lives of her unborn children.
_______
