Aara's observant nature has saved her life numerous times, as well as made her slightly wary and mildly uncomfortable in social situations.
When she was a young adolescent, Aara's previous pack underwent a change in leadership. The new alpha appeared charismatic, but Aara was able to detect his hidden dark nature. She quickly made her escape from the pack, as she knew it would soon crumble or suffer under the new alpha's reign.
Even though she was young, Aara was able to successfully survive on her own through quickly learning what situations to avoid and which situations to take risks on. She mainly avoided interactions with other wolves due to her past, and chose instead to make connections amongst many of the other creatures in the forest in order to survive. Because of her carefulness and desire to stay alone, she became known as the "forest spirit" amongst other wolves and woodland creatures.
In her adult years she stumbled across a solid black wolf who deemed her suitable for an alpha position. Aara wanted nothing to do with it at first, but was soon convinced that she would be able to make a difference for some of the abandoned and unwanted wolves struggling to survive in the forest. Though, she found it difficult to accept certain wolves into her pack, holding very high standards for their natures and motives. She eventually met Azazel, a very care-free yet sharp-witted male who was able to win her trust. Soon, the two of them formed the pack known as "Silva Spirituum", a name chosen after Aara's well-known nickname.
