Personality:	They say Wildlight is the opposite of his twin sister Wren. His outgoing nature and ruggedness (recklessness, as some occasionally say) offsets Wren's gentle silence. Those who know the Chief know that his temper is quick and fiery, much like skyfire that flashes in the night sky. Unknown to most, he's thoughtful and sensitive, too, but prefers to keep 'weaker emotions' to himself. Given the past full seasons' turn of events, however, it's been harder to do so. Many of the tribe have noticed his quiet and thoughtful periods and a seeming sense of distance of late.
Likes:	Weather in its severest forms, a good hunt, his family, when his tribe is safe and content.
Dislikes:	Humans, puckernuts, stripe-tails, dreamberry visions, opening up to anyone on a personal, non-leader-like level. Letting others down.
Fears:	That the humans will destroy his tribe. That the strange bad luck that has dogged the tribe will never be turned away. That he will someday again use his powers in a way he will regret. That he really was never meant to be a mate to another. That he will never have a cub of his own and the burden of raising his successor will fall upon his sister instead. That he will fail to protect his beloved tribe during this time of trouble.
Appearance:	Wildlight is an elf of medium height- about 4'6" with an athletic build.
Marks/Scars:	None
Hair:	Reddish orange, somewhat unkempt hair that falls to mid-back; a portion of which is drawn up into the chief's knot. The rest is kept out of his eyes with headband with long ties.
Eyes:	Large emerald green eyes, slightly slanted.
New Green Clothes:	Long brown tight pants that lace up the side, calf-high tan boots, a green loincloth, a green vest decorated with golden symbols. In hot, humid weather, he dons only a loincloth.
White Cold Clothes:	Similar to new green but wears a long green tunic covered in the same golden symbols. Lately, he's also been wearing a bearskin wrap to fend off the unusually bitter cold.
Jewelry:	A golden torc he wears on occasion. An amber necklace that he's put away.
History:	Wildlight is the blood of seven chiefs, and the eldest of twins born to Plainswalker and Riverwisp in a time of peace. When he was very young, he held the name Farsight, because he had the uncanny ability to predict the weather. Indeed, the very heavens seemed to call to the young chief-to-be, and, more often than not, a violent storm or a day of gusty wind found the firey-haired elf outside so he could feel the wind or rain upon his skin. Little did he know the relationship the weather would soon have with him. When Farsight was nearly 300, he went on a hunting trip with his mother, father, and twin sister. While chasing branchhorn in the forest, the four were surprised by a wounded bear. The bear killed Farsight's mother and father, but when the bear turned to attack his sister, Farsight somehow called a lightning bolt down from the heavens and killed the bear. He took Wildlight as his name because of that moment. Realizing the effects that such control over the weather possessed, and not daring to find out what repercussions changing the weather patterns might have, Wildlight chose to keep his power hidden, vowing never to use it and telling no one of it. Still, what is hidden cannot necessarily be denied. Daily, he fights the call of the energies of the skies. Daily, the struggle grows more difficult, especially when his temper flares or when he becomes irritated or angry. Each time Wildlight has felt the need to use his power during times of great duress, he has been left physically drained. He has even reached the point of where it has been impossible to restrain his powers--an event that caused the death of two beloved tribesmates. He knows now that his notion of his powers fading away is folly; he just doesn't know exactly how to harness them. Thus, his struggle even now continues. That struggle makes him distance himself emotionally from others. He fears he will hurt more of the ones he loves. Even now, the deaths of his tribesmates still haunt him and their faces visit him in his dreams. That, the stress of brutal attacks from mysterious foes, a harsh White Cold that has claimed more lives, the threat of Human invasion, and the departure of the lovemate he finally dared to care for has even caused him to doubt his ability to be a good leader and to doubt himself. Though he loves his tribe dearly, there is a sadness within him that he just can't shake, even though he's not open about the cause or reason for his mood. He thinks it will vanish if he distances himself from its cause. The care and well-being of his tribe is still Wildlight's greatest pride and concern. He is the most content when his tribe is content and without want- at least, he feels, that can be an accomplishment within reach. Though the hollowness of too many recent losses is still painful and keeps him distant, Wildlight has channeled his frustrations into striving to be a better Chief; into keeping his tribe safe. Maybe, just maybe, the extra effort and an extra-watchful eye will lead his tribe into better, less painful, times.
Bond Beast:	Blackjaw, Alpha Wolf, Age 5 A large, grey wolf with a black face. The wolf can be somewhat tempermental and, at times, can seem quite calculating. However, he is a loyal friend to Wildlight. The wolf does tend to get edgy around magic, especially Wildlight's Weather Shaping -- he seems to have a fear of storms.
