Ashen Valketine
Alpha Female
(10.2020 - ???)
Ashen hailed from a pack to the north, beyond the mountain range she once called home. She lived there with her mother, her father, and her two siblings; Tsuniri and Denik. Her pack was large and was claimed over countless territories, and she was the eldest of her siblings, daughter of the Alpha and heir to the pack. Unbeknownst to her at the time, her pack was in grave turmoil. Another younger, newer pack was impeding on their territory and was successfully taking from Ashen's pack. The Alpha, Ashen's father, could do nothing but watch. In the end, the Alpha could no longer care for the pack, and together with his mate, chased their young children away in hopes that they would not have to watch their pack perish. On their journey for a new home, Ashen discovered the importance of leading, of how she needed to be strong so that she could defend her siblings, whom she loved dearly. Alas... Fate was not kind to her. It laughed in her face, and just as her siblings were about to cross the path to safety, to the place where they could find their home, two large lynxes attacked them. Exhausted and tired from their journey, Ashen and her siblings could barely fight back, and she watched in horror as the hungry lynxes began tearing her brother, Denik, apart. Tsuniri, enraged and crying out for their brother, threw herself into the fray of the lynxes, where Ashen lost sight of her. Unable to protect her siblings, Ashen could only watch as the lynxes tore at her siblings, ripping through their skin. And then the creature turned to her. At first she lunged in to fight the lynxes, horrified that she allowed them to harm her siblings, but after a few blows that left lasting scars, she quickly retreated, escaping to the path of safety that she had aimed to reach with her siblings. She had abandoned her siblings; those who she loved more than anything, and ran to the valley. There, she met Tala, the wolf that would guide her along her path. Her heart, heavy with grief, shattered at the thought of creating a pack now. After all, she had abandoned her siblings to die, and now she was alive but alone. She didn't deserve another pack, certain that she would fail them as she had her own kin. But then he appeared, seemingly out of thin air;
Odin.
