"So long as the sun shines on our lands, we shall prosper."
Valkyrie has no memories of her upbringing or of any pack or family that she may have once belonged to. Her earliest memory is of waking up during a horrible snowstorm next to another young wolf, Talon, who had saved her from freezing to death. Although she was distrustful of Talon at first, she owed him for saving her life and promised to stick around until she paid off her debt.
The two continued to travel together for many months, avoiding the many dangers that lurked behind every tree and barely scraping by on what little prey they could scavenge. During their adventures, they came across a disbanded, hurting group of wolves who were thin and close to death. Fox and Talon knew the territory well and were able to help the group hunt and find shelter. The elder of the group gave Valkyrie the nickname of Sun Catcher, both for her brightly-colored fur and eyes and for giving their small group hope. Valkyrie fell into her leadership position naturally and the group became a pack. Still small, they continue to grow under the care of their new Alpha.
