The girl wanted so badly to peek at her siblings as she heard their names announced aloud, feeling her own stomach flip with anticipation as she waited for her turn. Blinking against the sudden light of the winter sun and reflection off the snow, the glowing of the pool. The holy water that anointed her was cool, adding to the sudden chill that flowed into her body now that the fur was removed from her frame. Still, she clung desperately to the words her mother spoke, her name was to be faith... Faith, it sent a thrill of satisfaction through her. Faith was the one thing she'd strived to embody since she was old enough to understand her mother's and Obi's stories... sermons. She cast a glance out of the corners of each of her eyes to glance at which of her siblings were on either side of her, attempting to commit each of their new names to memory. Then it was time for them to repeat the prayer she'd spent so long memorizing, she feared she'd trip over the words but they flowed from her like water from a font, a testament of her effort and, pleasingly, faith. Then the floor was opened for the others of her blood to offer their words, perhaps even their blessings. Faith turned her mismatched gaze up towards the empress as she approached, eyes wide as she looked up at her... she had quills like her sister, Modesty she reminded herself. For a moment Faith flicked her eyes to glance at the other gathered wolves, wondering if any of them had the same tufts of fur on their ears... or the light constant glowing she did. None that she could see... Her attention snapped back to her aunt as she spoke, her ears twitching as she hung off every word, willing the words to imprint themselves on her brain, desperate to live up to the standards being laid out before her.

Faith sometimes has visions (auditory and/or visual), she may react to them. They are not perceptible to others.
