Personality - Casi is kind and humble. She is very dedicated to her job, and when she says she will do something, she does. Most of the wolves often go to her for advice, even those older than her. 

       "We must be open to change so that our paths can be open to possibility." 

Backstory - Casi grew up in the Lunaris Night Pack all her life. She was born the very same year that Alpha Denver ascended to his new role. It was a joyous year, but also a sad one. Many wolves left as Denver made new laws, and two of them were Casi's mother and father. They left almost immediately after Casi was born. Casi was raised by her grandmother. A wolf named Amuna, she was the Pack's Shavaw and had been for many years. Truth be told, Casi's parents did almost take her with them, but Amuna had thought against it since it was winter. Casi was left with her grandmother.

Amuna taught Casi many things over the years: how to feed pups, how to find correct herbs, how to follow prey, and even how to scout new territory. Casi loved every second of it. When Casi was turning into an adolescent, her grandmother sat her down on a cliff that overlooked their mountain home and explained a story that many in the pack had forgotten.  

When Amuna had been young - just starting out as a Herbalist - she had met a young wolf named Atachi. Atachi had been injured from a previous battle and was struggling through the forest when Amuna had been searching for Herbs. Amuna saw the young female and considered her, before cautiously making her way. The two took each other in, their gaze never leaving the others, until finally, Atachi agreed to let Amuna look. Amuna had spent many moons and suns healing the wound. The two would either sit in comfortable silence or share stories about their life. Amuna would listen to Atachi's heroic tales of being beyond the mountains - a place Amuna had never seen. They found interest in one another, and a few months after their visits and talks, they became mates. Amuna lived in a time where the pack excepted only those born of Pack Blood. But Amuna made it her job to be loyal to all, not just the wolves in her pack. But her secret wasn't safe. Amuna was revealed by a friend. The news made its way to the Alpha, and when it did, search parties were sent out to find the loner wolf. Atachi did not win the fight. Amuna never mated after that. Choosing to serve only when she needed to. She grew distant from the Pack she once called family. And while others forgot, she didn't. 

She asked why her Amuna was telling her this, and Amuna responded, "Love is a part of all life. Not just the wolves need to be shown care. We should see everyone and everything as something to be cared for. Life is precious. And life was spilled that day. Blood that should not have been drained was. And that is a story that must live on. You must tell it to the Pack. Let it live. The story is a reminder that even those who may not be of our blood deserve to have the same rights as those in the Pack. Selene and Anali do not judge. Neither should we." The story made sense to Casi. She chose the path of a Pupsitter. Working alongside her grandmother, until the day Amuna passed.

Casi told her story. Passed it on, and it even reached the new Alpha's ears. Alpha Denver, a wolf of change, decided that the Pack would welcome newcomers as long as their heart was kind, in honor of Amuna and Atachi's love. Casi went on to become the Nokar. On the day of her ascension, she went to the very spot where her grandmother had told her the story and sat down, looking over her mountain home. Her grandmother appeared next to her, her words rang through Casi's ears, "I am proud of you. You made yourself a name without your parent's help. You gave our family the recognition it deserves. You will make the world a better place pup by pup. And remember, I love you." With that, the brown wolf stood and padded onto the open air in front of the cliff. Amuna walked toward the sun, where another figure made itself known. Another wolf - a female with black and white markings - was standing. When Amuna made it to the female, they rubbed heads, before throwing their heads back to howl. And just like that, the windswept them away.
