Personality: Holitorn was always the one who wasn't sure of himself. When he found out that his father was a rapist, he was the one who's self worth went to the bottom of the ocean. He's fairly smart, though not as smart as Laela. He cares deeply about his family and few friends, and would do anything for them. He's turned psychotic and deeply depressed. If he were a human he would be in hard-core therapy. Probably put in a recovery home with no sharp objects or anything he could use to hurt himself. He's filled with hate all the time and he tends to let it run his life. He also tends to try to stay away from almost everyone. His trust has failed him so many times that he has locked it deep within him where it cannot escape.
History: Holitorn was born on the run. His mother not knowing that their father was dead. He grew up with only his mother and his twin sister, Laela. He lived a fairly happy childhood. Innocence keeping him from being scared.
Disaster struck. His mother tried to sort out a dispute between some other lions and ended up getting sucked into the fight. Laela was seriously injured and they had to go find help. She would have died had it not been for Taraji who gave her a golden flower that healed her.
This flower, though in the short term was a healing herb, was a poison in the long term. It affected Laela's mind and gave her temporary brain damage that could turn into long term and would eventually kill her. Lapara ended up having a mental breakdown. She was determined to do anything to help Laela and to eventually kill Izaray who was the one who injured her. Lapara ended up ignoring Holitorn and he was sent into the beginning of his depression. He felt like he was alone in the world.
Holitorn had a connection with his twin sister that meant they felt each other's pain, and her having brain damage gave him the headaches and made him feel like he was losing his mind as well. He drew back into his shell. Trying to make himself numb just to keep himself intact.
After a while of this, his family met Takoda. He helped them figure out was wrong with Laela and him and Holitorn went off to find Taraji, whom they met soon. Things were cleared up that he didn't know about the poisonous aspect of the flower. It was getting dark and none of them wanted to go out at that time so they spent the night in a cave. This is where Holitorn met his brother Jasninon for the first time. Jasninon had run off when he was only 3 months old so they had never really gotten to know each other.
The next morning they woke to find Taraji gone. Takoda went one way to search and Holitorn and Jasninon went the other way. Holitorn heard his mother scream and raced to find her, followed by Jasninon. They found her in a clearing with Takoda, but they were both dead. In just a minute a giant wolf came into the clearing with Laela. After a fight, they managed to recover their sister, but now they were alone in the world.
Jasninon took them back to Akando pride, but on the way Holitorn finally broke and told Laela what was wrong with her. She ran off in a flurry of tears and stopped to rest in a Field of lavender where it rained and the healing powers of the plant went into her and the poison went away.
When they got to Akando, Holitorn knew right away that this was the pride that hurt his sister. He almost ran up to Izaray and killed her right then and there, but Jasninon noticed just in time and stopped him. Whispering in his ear that he would have his chance for revenge. Holitorn was accepted into the pride as well as Laela.
At the first possible moment he stole away to a place where nobody ever went. He sat there with the tears streaming down his face. The world was just too cruel. As he got up to go back, he stepped on a sharp rock and cut the pad of his paw. His first reaction was to pull his paw away, but he realized that this time it was not instinct, but habit. He stared at the blood coming from his pad and looked at the rock again. The pain felt good. Like he could finally feel something again. He reached down to the rock with his paw again and pressed down hard and cut himself again. Though his paw was throbbing and he knew he should be crying at this point, he wasn't.
Somehow every day he found himself at the Place. Even though after a while he knew that this was sick and wrong, he somehow just kept doing it. Some days he would just cut his paws with the rocks. Some days he would run up against boulders and bruise himself until the blood escaped onto his shoulder. The little place surrounded by rocks soon became covered in red. He became more deep into himself every day. Almost never talking to anyone except Laela.
Laela noticed right away that something was wrong. She tried to pry out of him why he had all these injuries, but he wouldn't tell her until she caught him outside of his place, cutting his forelegs. She couldn't understand why he was doing that to himself, but he told her not to worry.
He tended to avoid her after this incident, which just forced him deeper into his depression because he realized that Laela was the only one who cared, or even noticed.
About a week after telling Laela not to worry and cutting himself off from her, he spent the whole night in his Place. He got himself close to a rock, and he realized that he would be able to go join his mother who would be all right now, and his close friend Takoda. He got his neck close to a sharp rock and started to cut. He felt the blood spilling out onto his neck, He felt that he was getting close to the main artery that if cut he would die. At the last moment an image of Laela laughing flashed into his head.
He woke up the next morning in shock. How could he almost kill himself and leave Laela here? How could he do that? He resolved not to kill himself, although he didn't think he could stop coming to the Place.
When they started training for the war to get water, he never talked to his teacher, but he was good at fighting. From his visits to the Place, he knew what could hurt the most, and where would get the most blood. His trainer didn't question his talent at fighting. She didn't connect 2 and 2. Just like everyone else.
Now he's waiting for the war. To get Laela water. He knows that Jasninon is walking a fine line with Ezhno and could get kicked out soon. His whole life right now is waiting. Waiting for something to happen. Waiting and cutting.
