Ruihel Jäälaulu

Ruihel Jäälaulu was dutiful female, who took her tasks very seriously. She was the third pack leader of Riitepolun Lauma. She reign is known as Era of Cyclic Change.

Ruihel was not meant to be the third Riitepolun lauma's pack leader either matriarch of Jäälaulu family. She was second youngest pup of her mother's last litter and everyone expected that her oldest sibling would be the next pack leader. But little Redil died and for everyones shock Ruihel other older sister, Rhevenil also died. Ruihel was the only Rawen Jäälaulu's daughter who survived from that litter, so she became her successor. Ruihel's mother was more than determined to keep her last possible heir alive, so her childhood was rather secure. Someone, usually pack's pupsitters or her parents were with her and Ruihel could not be alone for even a minute. So scared of losing her Rawen was.

But things changed a little bit when Ruihel turned adolescent and her training for being pack leader truly started. She learned about every possible packrole from other members. Hunting or pupsitting wasn't really her thing at all. She was more into scouting with her aunt Elanorel Lumiviima and espicially learning about herbs and healing with pack's young herbalist, Arassamon Routatassu. It didn't take too much time for Rawen Jäälaulu to realize that her daughter had feelings for herbalist and Arassamon had feelings for her daughter. At first Rawen was not so sure about that match at all, but eventually Arassamon's mother matriach Arassien Routatassu made see how good this bond between these two families could be. So Ruihel was one year and 6 months old when she and Arassamon formed pair bond. Only one and half month later Rawen Jäälaulu died and Ruihel became the third pack leader of Riitepolun lauma.

Her first decision as pack leader was to stay at Rainforest until her still unborn pups would have born and grow up a little so moving to other biome would be less risk to them and Ruihel herself. Other matriarch supported her and Ruihel gave birth to her first litter only month after her mothers passing away. It was still winter and cold, but everything seemed fine with pups. Ruihel took every good care of her and Arassamon's three little pups and they did survive from harsh winter. But when spring finally came, things went upsidedown. First Ruihel and Arassamon lost two oldest of their pups, Merilinien and Dochon, then only two weeks after youngest of their pups Fuinith died as well. Ruihel and Arassamon both mourned their little ones deeply and little by little Ruihel started to hate Rainforest, that had taken her own pups, siblings and parents from her. Ruihel sweared that once her pack would be ready to move another biome, she would neve again take them pack to Rainforest.

Era of Cyclic Change was bit easier than previous era to Riitepolun Lauma. Many matrairchs did die, but also new matriarchs did arose to guide their families. One new family was also founded during this era, family Nietoshäntä. Era of Cyclic Change came to an end summer of year 21. Ruihel still wanted to move her pack to another biome, but this move was fateful for her. Only couple of weeks after moving from Mountains to Grasslands pack leader Ruihel was one evening found dead.
