Sandpiper

11-6-20

Sandpiper is one of my oldest and closest friends. I found her in the Deciduous Forest, where she had been born to a loner. She had several siblings and lived with her mother, until a flood killed her entire family. After that, she had to fend for herself. Because of this, Sandpiper is the best hunter I know. She stalks her prey with such skill and efficiency, and I couldn't ask for anyone better. There was a time when I knew her less and made her a scout, but let's say she didn't exactly excel in the role. When she requested a change to hunter, I permitted it, and she has certainly earned her keep. After the flood, Sandpiper looked for companionship wherever she could find it, but she was often let down. Her mates either abandoned or betrayed her, leaving her heart cold and hardened. She's started to soften up around her packmates, especially those in her hunting party, Birds of Prey, but I believe she will always have a pessimistic outlook on both life and relationships. She mated with Shrike and had two pups, her son Seaside and her daughter Curlew, but she misses being out on hunts with the Birds of Prey. Unfortunately, Curlew and Seaside had to be traded for herbs with a tribe in the Mountains. Several of our Hunters came down with infected wounds, and Sparrow was on the verge of death. They will be missed.
