Hestia
The banished queen.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ. ───

Hestia was born into a very well off pack with no need to get to training as soon as she was weaned and instead decided to spend her time cleaning her fur of any dust or grime spotted. She was known as gorgeous from a young age and had many suitors into her upcoming years. Hestia made every other female wolf in her pride a soon to be shadow and many young males, and some young females, trip over their own paws. Eventually Hestia was renowned as the most beautiful wolf in her pack and anyone would be lucky if she chose them to be her pair bond. Eventually this behavior and reputation went straight into Hestia's ego as she started to grow an attitude. Her father, the leader of the pack, hadn't noticed this behavior as he was usually busy with pack matters while her mother started to grow caution. Her siblings had always been in her shadow, however the oldest was starting to get tired of this princess attitude from her sister.

Soon wolves were being alerted by her aggressive and rude attitude by wolves who were interested in courting her or befriending her for tips on their own fur care and Hestia was quickly noticing a new behavior with wolves around her. Hestia noticed wolves no longer came up to her and even tried to avoid her which was very unusual. Even when she tried to approach a wolf she was interested in, a female around her age, she was pushed away which had wounded her poor heart. Eventually she went off to her family's den and started to whine about how it was all unfair that wolves were suddenly pushing her away. Her older sister had made a comment about her rude behavior which blew a short fuse in Hestia throwing her into a rant. Her older sister only ignored her younger sister's rant and made a comment so Hestia had struck her older sister with her paw blindly. A gasp came out from her mother and a loud howl from her older sister and when Hestia had looked up to see what her rage inflicted on her sister she no longer could see her sister's eye through red.

Word had gotten out about the incident with her older sister, one of the pack's best hunters, and eventually Hestia was shunned which was a tradition to do to a wolf that breaks the pack's harsh code. Eventually her last option was a self inflicted banishment and now leaving behind her pampered life, which was all she knew. Eventually after walking for a few weeks in the harsh winter she grew skinnier and her fur became muddied with shame. A wolf with a full white and gray coat had snuck up on Hestia and scared her much to her own amusement. Dione, the scout, had looked up Hestia up and down and noticed how skinny and dirty the wolf was and offered her a stay at her pack. Hestia took the offer without a doubt.

While upon arriving at the pack it was no grand life she had. The temporary place to stay had barely any bedding and was very cold, but quickly she was taken to the herbalist instead for her to monitor the wolf's health. Hestia was monitored for weeks and had gotten to talking with the pack's herbalist, Xanthe, and learned more about this pack yet remained silent about her own past life because she couldn't help but wallow in shame. Xanthe could notice something up with the wolf, about the same age as her yet almost treating her like a child, and tried giving her some of her own advice to pick up the pieces and finish the puzzle before it gets too hard to start.

When Hestia was getting noticeably physically better Xanthe had told her to sit in on the lessons she has with pups and maybe she can learn a thing or too, but obviously only as a mentor's aide. Hestia took this offer despite feeling embarrassed for her lack of knowledge and trained skill yet soon she started to get better and better at hunting and started to catch small prey. Though soon after she became pregnant and her hunting was put on a hold. She gave birth to three beautiful pups and the pack cheered for her new beautiful children. Hestia never though she would feel so welcomed and loved again, however this time was a different type of love. A warm kind of love.
