One of the oldest members of the pack, Carnation grew up as the eldest son of a more peaceful pack. He had many siblings, yet rarely felt ignored or unloved. It's only when he meets his mate, Zinna, that he leaves his loving family, but not for his sake. Zinna was apart of a pack where being mates with outsiders was forbidden, and if they found out, they'd surely come for both her and Carnation, as well as his pack. So, to keep everyone safe, the two left. They lived on the Grasslands, never having pups because Carnation was unable to. It didn't change how much they loved each other, though. Zinna was just so graceful, so beautiful and absolutely perfect in Carnation's eyes. He admired her, adored her, worshipped her. And she did the same to him. Unfortunately, this love wouldn't last. When they were both around five and a half years old, Zinna succumbed to a horrible stomach sickness. It left Carnation broken, on the verge of just wanting to dissappear and and no longer live. That's why he walked right into the Wolves of the Willows pack territory, hoping they'd end it for him. But, they didn't. Instead, Moonchaser and Daisybell brought him to camp, where he was cared for and became a pupsitter. He's a trusting elder, being a wise advice giver. He has taken the role of mentoring pups as well, still assisting with pupsitting when needed.
