Ryleigh’s Backstory
Early Childhood
Ryleigh was born to parents Deborah and Troy Nicholson on the humid afternoon of July 10, 1998. Deborah was a wolf, while Troy was a rather oblivious human. She was greeted happily by her older brother Ryan, and all seemed to be well for the family. That is until that cold day in December 2007. Ryleigh remembered it well; it was two days before Christmas. The family had returned from the grocery store and putting the food for the Christmas dinner in the refrigerator. After being home for a few hours, the small girl went upstairs to ask Ryan if he would help her build a snowman. When she couldn’t find him, she became confused and teetered down the stairs to ask her parents where he was. When she made it to the bottom of the stairs, she saw her parents fighting for the third time that week. Not wanting to be seen, she snuck behind the doorframe which faced the bathroom, but she shouldn’t have, because that’s when she saw that her brother was lying face down in a bathtub full of water. Seeing her brother in that state caused her to scream, and Troy rushed to her aid, only to turn right back around and scream at Deborah, asking her why on earth she hadn’t been watching him while he was out shoveling the driveway. Deborah smiled and, looking at Ryleigh, said “Because I never wanted these mongrels anyway. Now get out of my way, I have one left to exterminate.” It was at this point that Troy took Ryleigh with her and left the state of Maine, moving to Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
First Transformation
At the time of Ryleigh’s first transformation, she lived with her father in a cabin on the outskirts of Baton Rouge. Ryleigh had been rather temperamental the past 5 years, but her father dismissed as “girl things” and thought nothing of it. That is, until Ryleigh started eating everything in sight and growing out of her clothes what seemed like every other week. Confused, Troy took his beloved daughter to the doctor, who proclaimed that her blood work seemed off, but other than that the teen was fine; she was just a teen after all, she was still growing. Troy took her home, but the doctors words befuddled Ryleigh. What did he mean her blood was off? Deciding to dismiss it, she soon forgot about it.
About a year had passed since the doctors visit and Ryleigh was begging Troy to take her camping for the sevent time that gorgeous July. Ryleigh had become almost infatuated with the outdoors, and Troy wasn’t having it. Upon him telling her no, she rolled her shoulders and opened her mouth to protest, and what escaped her lips was a guttural snarl as the lanky teen dropped onto all fours. Before her hands hit the dark wooden floor, her wolf had emerged, and her massive paws thudded and shook the whole house. As Ryleigh straightened, she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror on the living room wall, and when she saw a massive black wolf with a white streak on her chest and shoulders, she let out a long and mournful howl before running out the open door into the woods. After she had phased back to a human, she went to her father to apologize, but he was nowhere to be found. He had left her there all alone after finding out her true self.
The After Effects (**TW: Rape and Abuse**)
After returning home to find her father had packed most of his things and abandoned her, Ryleigh attempted to reach out to her mother, but to no avail. The phone numbers and email addresses she remembered were no longer active, and as the snow melted, so did her hope of finding out why this had happened. Ryleigh emerged from the cabin for the first time since Halloween, only to see someone standing in her driveway. Grabbing the baseball bat she used for protection, she called out to the person, but received no answer. Shrugging her shoulders, she put the bat back inside the house and walked to where the person was standing, only to find nothing there but a set of footprints, paw prints, and a note that said the words she was hoping for: “Meet me in your backyard tonight under the full moon.” As she waited for the sun to set, her excitement turned into dread as she stared at the note and the realization smack her in the face: That was handwriting she knew; that was her mother’s handwriting. Looking out the window that faced the backyard, the figure had returned. As she watched, the figure went from human to a massive black wolf, which then tilted its head to the moon and howled and ran into the woods. Ryleigh never saw the person or received any more notes after that, and she assumes her mother passed away or was killed. She ended up graduating from her high school a month later and moving to Baskerville, Louisiana to study at Louisiana State University. A year after moving, her apartment was broken into by two men who jumped her. One cut the length of her back with a serrated knife, while the other ransacked the home for money and valuables. once nothing was found, she was raped by both men and the second man slit her throat, leaving her for dead. Her wolf helped her heal, and Ryleigh now wears a choker at all times so she doesn't have to see the reminder every day. Six months pass, and she ran into a member of Larentia's order, and upon further discussion, was taken into the ranks as an Omega. Ryleigh has been with the pack for several months now and no longer fears for her safety or her life.
