History Early on, before any contact with the members of Copperhead Pass came to be, Molly lived as a rouge, traveling from place to place with her mate, Vern. They wanted to live a new life, one not filled with laws and packs who only belittled them. Now, they were going to live off the land and their own work. Once when they had settled in a home in the forest, Molly and Vern had set to work as usual to make the place workable. However, soon Molly would find out she was pregnant. Upon relaying the happy news to Vern, she found he was unhappy, complaining that now (with pups) they would have to be confined to one spot. The two would constantly argue whenever the topic of pups was brought up, but Molly insisted she shouldn't be traveling when her children were so near due. By their birth, Vern had hardly been around. She was forced to be on her own during the delivery. A few days later, Vern returned, angry and fuming. His eyes were empty and he stumbled, disoriented from the world around him. Vern didn't respond to her voice and was violent. The fight that ensued caught the attention of a passing stranger who intervened, killing Vern. The stranger had declared Vern rabid after the battle and introduced himself as Henry Declan. He explained how he had been on his way by and heard the commotion. While thankful for his help, Molly insisted she had no time to mourn as she needed to find where her pups had gone. Surprised at the development, Declan offered to help search for them. They were soon found in a hedge nearby and after some coaxing, they reappeared. Afterward, Declan offered Molly his companionship. She could travel with him if she liked and he could help take care of them. Agreeing, the four of them began heading towards a large lake in the prairie Declan had heard about on his travels.
