Wraith

The founder of the Thirteenth Pack. Though silent and stoic, her presence is almost stifling; she exudes confidence and power, and has proven her strength and worth time and time again.

She has had two litters:

• Litter One: Two puppies sired by Goryo. Both left the pack upon reaching adulthood.


• Litter Two: Five puppies — two identical twin males, and three females — sired by 𖤓 Sunrise 𖤓. All but one of the females was a T2 base (2 Nocturnes, 1 Diorite, 1 Sky). All five left the pack upon reaching adulthood.


• Litter Three: Three puppies sired by Goryo. Abandoned, for they were unremarkable in every way.

The first year of Wraith's life was spent amongst friends and family. She was cared for, nurtured, protected; her pack would let nothing harm her or her fellow litter mates as they prepared for adulthood.

As she aged, Wraith frequently pondered her future. Would she remain with the pack as a yearling, or strike off and carve out a territory all her own? There were no easy answers.

In the end, however, the decision would not be hers to make.

The first year of her life ended with a harsh, unforgiving winter. The pack was struggling; there were too many mouths to feed, and nowhere near enough prey to feed them. It was then that Wraith, alongside her litter mates, left home, hoping to ease the hunters' burden... As to stay would likely condemn someone else to death via starvation.

Wraith and her siblings stuck together through the remainder of the season; no one wanted to face winter alone. When the snow finally melted and gave way to a warmer, greener spring, the pack of litter mates finally parted ways, each setting off to find a home of their own.

Wraith travelled for some time before finding a small stretch of uninhabited territory in the deciduous forest. It was there she met Tala, and decided to start a pack of her own as opposed to joining an existing one. She recruited other lone wolves — Goryo, Hantu, Diogen, Oni — and began to build the foundation of her new family.

For a year, they resided within the forest, numbers growing slowly but steadily. But it soon became apparent that this small stretch of the woods would not be able to support the pack for much longer; it was simply too small. With neighbouring packs nearby, expanding the territory was impossible, and so the pack set out to find a new home.

They travelled north for many days and nights before finally stumbling across a beautiful expanse of land in the taiga. It provided plentiful prey, and access to clean, cool water year-round; it was perfect. The pack settled in quickly, eager to explore their new home and make it truly their own.
