Alma has never liked to stay in one place for long. She’s been a loner almost her whole life, and traveled a very long way from her birthplace. She’s made friends here and there, but always knowing that those relationships will come to an end when she moves on. 

She never intended to join a pack, but Honey spotted her passing through the territory and convinced her to stay just for a day or two, to give herself a chance to rest. A couple days turned into a couple weeks, with Honey coming up with increasingly obvious excuses to get her to stay a bit longer. And, well, Honey is definitely quite sweet, and the pack’s pupsitter is kind of cute, and... perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad to stay a while longer. Or maybe forever.

Still, Alma doesn’t want to just sit around. Even hunting is too boring for her, too repetitive. So when Honey mentioned that she’d like someone to explore the area just outside of the pack’s territory, Alma jumped at the chance. She and Honey have worked out a system, with Alma exploring further and further away and discovering new places while still coming back to the pack to rest and spend time with the others. She’s finally found the balance between freedom and friendships, and she’s quite glad.
