Rosaria Pack - Werewolves in Town
it's actually really beautiful how this pack came to be, and i'm glad i could watch it happen from the very beginning cuz all of these lovely ladies are very close friends who've been there for me and vice versa.
out of the six, only one isn't a werewolf (but that never stops a werewolf from bringing someone into a pack, lemme tell you) but they are like the sisters to my pack and we all hang out as a big, fat group literally all the time. you wanna have fun? they're your girls. you were wronged and wanna get back at someone? they're your girls. you feel hella down and need a confidence booster? they. are. your. girlsssssss!1!!
and it aaallllll starts with my girl lottie!
charlotte 'lottie.' chikafuji!
she and i were friends all the way back in middle school, when i first moved in from out of town. i had lived in new orleans for a few years with extended family and before that i lived in romania, so i wasn't too familiar with american suburbs but she along with our mutual friend, brayden, were like a trio of the coolest mfs ever and she was the one who got me to audition for dance and recommended me to the school's music group.
when high school came around and a lot of crazy shit happened, we both graduated and she ended up staying in town while i went to europe for a two year program before traveling back to transfer for the rest of my bachelors, contact wasn't top tier but it's not as if we grew apart, we just preferred texting and knew we'd catch up about anything big when i got back to america.
her family were werewolves but were only close with like one or two families who were in the know, so lottie hung around a ton of normal people and couldn't talk about it much with anyone (i didn't know shit at the time). but it all eventually got discussed after europe.
then came yazzy, benni, and glo.
yasmin 'yazzy' velázquez!
my literal knight in shining armor after moving to europe, i swear to god, she was the catalyst for me being as confident as i am. i had been to france before but living there on my own was slightly terrifying and when we happened to be in the dorms right next to each other, she became an instant friend.
we were apart of a larger group but after "The Cabin" incident, that group dwindled down to only four of us. and that incident was the only reason i discovered she, along with the other two, were werewolves. let's just say their fur kept me from freezing to death. . . and from there, they explained the supernatural world to me and so opened up this whole new world i had never known i was teetering on for years.
i took it pretty well (cuz they literally saved my life so) but even then, yazzy had been such a great friend to me in those years that it didn't make me feel any less love for her. she took me to parties, made sure i didnt take any bullshit from people, loved going shopping with me, and we always had the time of our lives ok?
bernadotte 'benni' saint-joseph!
bernadotte is such a cutie pie, honestly. but she's also smart and hates a lot of people so it only lasts as long as she's with us lwkkkk. during "The Cabin," she got serious hella quick and made a lot of good calls that ended up keeping us pretty safe, but she was also the most scared of my reaction to her being a werewolf :((((.
but before all that, we met at a study group and officially met a party thrown by one of our old friends. she's the planner type so she was always running around, but when yazzy pulled her aside, we actually ended up talking for a little while and planned hang outs afterwards. she helped me with studying from time to time and we got wayyyy closer after that first winter semester.
when she and the other girls moved to the same college as me back in america, she becomes a lot less agitated with the people there (maybe she just hates the french idk) and organizes something with anyone available like damn near everyday. she's the type that is always out having fun and yet always has all As, no struggle. . . that bitch.
gloria 'glo' reed!
my girlllllll!!!1!!
glo and i met through benni at a party and she and i found a common interest in dance. she used to be a cheerleader in high school but is just in a hiphop dance team when in france, says she hates the way they do cheer there. she is a no-nonsense girl thru n thru. she also is so overly annoyed by men,,, it's always hilarious when she insults one down to his damn soul and then skips away w me to lunch or smth.
another worried wolf over "The Cabin" but she figured i was cool enough to at the very least not tell anyone (she sure threatened me tho) and was more than smug to yazzy and benni when i said i'd still be friends with them all. she's a very "head on a swivel" kind of person and is pretty perceptive when it comes to a lot of people, and is not afraid to treat someone the way she wants based on intuition.
ANOTHER PARTIER!!!!! my europe years are full of parties and drama good lord. . .
she was the most reluctant to travel to our college in america, but figured if she got a full ride scholarship, she'd pack up and move in a heartbeart. and low and behold. . . she's honestly a Bratz doll come to life and not a single soul will deny it.
ryujin 'moxie' yoon!
ROXIE MOXIEEEEE
ok she's from korea but ended up coming to our town around a couple years or so after me and the girls returned from europe cuz she had finished trade school and wanted a fresh scene to make music and relax away from family. we have a ton of shit in common, including music taste, and met at a concert festival where sevendust (please listen to their home album omg pleaseeee) was playing and had a ton of fun headbanging in the front row.
werewolves can smell and sense one another, so the second we walked back to my friends and boyfriends, it was literally the spiderman meme but with like the four of us there at the time. she ended up extremely intrigued and stuck around long enough to fit right in with the other girls.
also her nickname is a bit of a journey. her name is ryujin but said if she ever had an american name it'd be roxanne, and from there we'd call her roxie, then roxie moxie, and then just moxie. but she is very punk and outgoing and she easily fit right in with the rest of the girls, and our friend group as a whole.
helaena 'laena' beauregard!
the story of her arrival is a bit of a doozy. . .
she comes from a family of hunters, but a specific subunit called baji (nowhere related to the place), which is a kinder unit of hunters that are basically like the supernatural police; you can exist and do whatever, but if you disrupt the balance or start becoming dangerous, you're done.
there was an aggressive ass pack that came into town being followed by crazy ass hunters and both started creating trouble for the rosarias and my pack, so much so, that the beauregard family had to swoop in and start handling shit with us, in which case helaena was tasked with snooping around becoming close with anyone that could help them take down the pack and bring justice to the crazy hunters.
long story short, they helped but someone in the beauregard family who was close to her was a traitor and she was granted (forced by her father) to take a break from hunting to center herself and find peace after a life of traveling and fighting, and soon enough she became especially smitten with the five big strong werewolf ladies who loved inviting her out into town.
so not only is she the only other non-werewolf out of our large ass friend group but she became almost like a sister to me in our non-pack or werewolf centered view of the world when growing up.
so, these are the 6 women who live together and roam the wide woods on the east side of town i couldn't possibly imagine this life without.
all whom i met in different eras of my life and have helped me become the person i am today.
