"One of the nastiest wolves out there. If she wasn't such a good hunter, the alpha would have killed her himself. Alas, she was a bloody good hunter, and had earned her spot in the pack. Vivande met Lucix, the alpha of the pack, when they both were chasing the same rat, and Vivande basically stole it from his jaws. Lucix immediately attacked her in anger but she fought back, filled with rage. When there was no obvious winner, Lucix was thoroughly impressed. "I've never seen anyone fight with such anger." Lucix said in awe. She couldn't have cared less about the praises. She ripped the rat apart, not even eating it. "So? It's a cruel world, kill or be killed." Lucix was confused, almost as if you had smashed him over the head with a log. He watched the dark female sneak away, blood dripping from her mouth." - Ivalo, the one who found Vivande first.
Vivande had been cast out by Lucix once he realized that she could not be negotiated with. Having been given the option to leave with her life or be killed between his own jaws, she traveled far from the threshold of the Hounds of Odin, across the grasslands and to the north. It was then that she came upon the towering peaks and thick, seemingly-eternal sprawl of coniferous wilderness that was Yavai, the very same place of legends in the old tales.
She happened upon Tala and her pack as they were hunting an old, wounded Elk; once the hunters had finally fell the old bull, Vivande, exhausted and hungry, challenged the pack of their feast. Tala, of course, admired her ferocious spirit, and felt that they were truly kindred to one another in that essence. She challenged Vivande to a battle, and was truly surprised when the older wolfess held her own so well against the powerful alpha. She would be able to face the Deceivers with the rest of the pack, most certainly, Tala then knew. It was at that time that Vivande was appointed as the lead hunter of Atlas Ridge, and has been mentoring generations of pups to become ferocious, fearless hunters ever since. She squabbles quite a bit with the other pack members, but she and Tala have a mutual respect that keeps her well within line.
