History

Mud lived in a pack with his family for his younger years. However, when he was a young adolescent, his father (and pack leader) left him in charge of the young pups of the group while he took the adults hunting. Mud didn't watch carefully enough and one of the young pups drowned in the nearby river. Mud's father was furious, exiling his son.

Mud while still young, luckily had some basic hunting experience. He got by on his own for a while, that was until he came across another wolf. Snow was her name, a pup whose parents had been killed by a sickness. Seeing the poor pup, he found her something to eat before helping her bury her parents' bodies. Mud told her that he was alone too, trying to find a new place to call home. Smiling, he asked Snow if she would join him, she seemed reluctant to leave her parents' graves at first, but agreed, looking determined. Glad to have a friend, the two head off together, hoping to find someplace to call home.

For years the two traveled together, Snow learned to hunt quickly, being a skilled tracker. Mud couldn't help but praise her for this, but she was humble about her skill. Mud was a decent hunter, precise when it came to catching and killing his prey, though he didn't enjoy it that much. He didn't enjoy killing, even if it was just prey. The two of them were now adults, over a year old, when he and Snow met a strange wolf. Jet was also in search of a new home; he was alone but looking for wolves to join his pack. Having similar goals, Snow and Mud agreed to join Jet's pack, the three making their way to the mountains, Jet was sure there would be a home waiting there for them.

There was a home there indeed. The group set up a den for the three of them and even met their fourth pack member, another loner named Opal. The group became comfortable, setting into their daily tasks, Mud and Jet would go explore and patrol, while Opal and Snow would hunt. Within this comfort, the pack began to think of the future. Snow and Mud had thought of pups a few times, finding their relationship turning romantic as the two of them got older. However, Mud was infertile, meaning the two having pups were just a distant dream. One day when telling this story to their other pack members, Jet and Opal offered an alternative. Jet could help Snow get pregnant and then she and Mud could raise the pups. After discussing it for a few days, the two agreed. Four months later the boys, Silver, and Speck were born.

Snow and Mud couldn't have been happier. Once they were weaned Snow began to hunt again, with Mud becoming the pupsitter for the pack, happily looking after his sons and the other pups. He enjoyed the role and looked after the pups dutifully, he wouldn't make the same mistake twice. No pup would ever die in his care again.

Snow found an orphaned pup staying with Lillemor while she was out hunting. After a short discussion, the mates decided to adopt the young pup. They named her Rose, and she is a beloved edition to the family.

All three of Mud's pups are now fully grown and respected members of the pack, with families of their own. Mud really couldn't be prouder of them and adores watching his grandpups grow and become their best selves. After the packs former Mentor, Dust passed one. Mud happily took on the job.

On the 7th year and 6th month of his life, Mud made his way to the mountains summit. Steel and Wise keeping him company through most of the journey. Once at the top, looking out at the endless sky, Mud and Wise were greeted by Cream, who gently guided them to the afterlife.
