----------------------------------
Swan wasn't born under normal means, she was created by a God. Caaris had taken fur bits from Spiritand Snowfall .Caaris was moved by their lovers passion for romance and care for others children that she had gifted Swan as a pure embodiment between them both. they were over joyed that they finally got to have a child of their own. 

of course, over time, they both had gotten older due to taking Swan in at such a late age- Snowfall had eventually passed away. both Spirit and Swan stricken by grief, they managed to cope in their own ways. Swan sought to travel the world while Spirit preferred to stay in the safety of his own pack. here are her adventures!

---------------------------------------------------------------
Swan wandered into the territory of Lucesco on her first day after deciding on her journey. She explained what had happened, and what she was planning to do. Lucesco welcomed her with open  paws, and sat her down in the main den with some hardy food and entertainment. She stayed for awhile, told stories to some of their pups, and became good friends with Pruina before she left. She will miss her.

Swan travelled North, getting a little lost along the way. The further she travelled, the colder it got. Food was scarce up on the Glaciers, but she was found by a pack who were doing alright for themselves. The Seireitei was an interesting pack name, one she'd surely remember. Their current leader passed away the very next day, to be replaced with Dangai, a charming and well trained scout. Dangai showed Swan the surrounding lands, providing the little rations he could spare for her to eat and take on her journey. She'll never forget these wolves of the North, nor the Icy Dens she slept in while there. ~ 14th July 2021 MoscoMoon {Lethan} #1120 - Added Ice Tunnel Background

Swan Traveled south and was met in the rainforest by a scout from the Noldor pack. She was brought back to meet the queen and was offered a place to rest before moving on. She stayed with the elders of the pack, hearing their stories and sharing her own. She was gifted a crown of herbs from the herbalist for her eyes, which the herbalist claimed was a blessing from the moon.~July 17, 2021 Ranboo [Dedfa] #32508 added guaiacum crown

Swan's journey continued and led her to go North again. After days of walking, she bumped into Burlywood, the king of Highlights in the Deciduous Forest. After some chatting Burlywood took Swan to her pack's den to introduce her to the others. "We're like soul sisters, we even have the same big marking!"

Swan hung out with the pack's pupsitters, scouts, and herbalist. The scouts listened her story of her leaving and traveling miles and miles, and they gave her some tips for her next journey. She went and spoke with the herbalist, Grayson, about all the herbs she has seen on her trip. After spending time with the herbalist, she was covered in all kinds of pollen. Different kinds of bugs started following her. ~ 19th July 2021 ⭐️marble⭐️ #40734 added Ebony Jewelwing, Baltimore Checkerspot, Cliff Swallowtail

Swan was traveling through the taiga when the Dreaming Moon rose. She stared up at the moon, transfixed. The blue light had an almost hypnotic quality.

"Beautiful, innit?" said a voice. Swan gave a start - she had been so distracted that she had not heard or smelled the wolf's approach. The stranger continued: "But it's even more beautiful from the other side. Wanna check it out?"

The wolf introduced herself as Astrika, child of phantasm, with the ability to move between the waking world and the dreamworld at will. She took Swan on a brief tour through the lunar taiga. ("Glacier's my favorite actually, but it's a bad time to visit, the crab dolphins are swarming." "The what?") Some of the local foxes followed at a safe distance, snapping at lunar butterflies. ~ August 19, 2021 Lionel#34199 added Platinum Fox Kits

Arriving in the rain forest, Swan somehow found her way to the Tellurian Druids. She spent time with Centurious, a fellow trans fem baby! After a week or so, Swan was ready to go on her way but she wouldn't forget the friend that she'd made here or the allies.

Her journey took her towards the Decidous forest at first, where she met up with a mysterious wolf with intense, fox-like eyes...and fox kits, just like her! She spent a few minutes with Dexter chatting about their unique little charges, and he was more than happy to tell his tales of the Rockford pack that saved them from starvation over the winter, and gave her directions to their new denspace. Once at the Taiga region, she met one of the new scout trainees...a handsome wolf with one blue and one brown eye...and he gladly led her back to the pack! And there she stayed through the spring and summer months, sharing stories and letting her kits play with the pups. The meals in this pack were shared by all...it felt like a grand party whenever meal time happened, so many large animals, to help feed such a large pack. Soon though, Autumn came and it was time to start her journey once more...goodbyes and well wishes shared amongst all pack members.

it was the last day of fall, when Swan decided to visit home. she made her way into the main territory- greeted by familiar and unfamiliar faces. "Swan, its a pleasure to have you back home. how were your travels?" Costello spoke up from behind, giving her a slight scare. " oh, Costello! how big you have gotten! guess the old dog finally retired" she joked. it was something everyone could take more lightly now- it being expected for quite a while. after a few hours of re telling old stories and playing with the new pups; a question came into her head.

"Costello...where is my father?" a tense silence hung in the air. "Swan, what are you talking about? I thought you already knew?" "knew what?"

"Swan...your father passed almost an entire year ago. Has no one told you yet?"
it took swan a few moments to notice she had started crying. has she really been gone for that long? did he die alone? have I really abandoned my father?
"Swan...its okay.. he doesn't blame you- and im sure that both of your parents are quite happy where they are and are looking down on you. " swan didn't respond. she didn't have to.

Swan made her way to the glaciers where she met up with the Adolphus pack they were excited to have her. They were happy she hadn't come into any trouble with everything happening in the lands recently. She became a pupsitter to help watch all the pups growing up in the pack. During her stay they moved back to the mountains for winter and she helped them move. There were other travelers staying as well who were all happy to see her and share their stories with her. She in turn shared her stories with them. One of the pups gave her a silver torc to wear to help ward off the dangers the pup explained. She gave a small chuckle and thanked him. Waiting until she knew the Adolphus pack was settled she said her goodbyes and headed home once more. [Blackwidow#43418 Added Silver Torc]

In the tundra, Swan met a handsome lad named Renjiro. He was dreamtouched, and he brought her to the lunar lands to show her all his favorite spots. They enjoyed a pleasant evening together until it slowly dawned on Swan that he intended it as a date.

Swan was tempted (the lad was quite cute), but her home was calling to her, and she knew that pups would only slow her down on her journey. She politely excused herself, explaining that she had a long way yet to travel. Renjiro escorted her to the border of the real world where they said their farewells.
