Ichi-go Ichi-e

PAST LEADS

All Leads are G2 and born from previous stud

夏 芽 NATSUME 夏 芽

First Lead

夏 芽 Summer Bud | Jujube Fruit 夏 芽
G1 TII Oroide
06/08/22 - 11/23/22
The Determined Lead


Established Ichi-go Ichi-e, cultivating a hierarchy and pack culture. Found wary but warm to welcoming newcomers, as building a community was trying work as a lone lead. Managing a couple dozen members by the end of her lead, she tended to a tight knit pack and oversaw their accomplishments, celebrating with them, and to their defeats, handling the hardships beside them with a stern but sympathetic mind. A good lead with a strong vision, her subjects commend her for her triumph in building a pack with much promise

篤子 ATSUKO 篤子

Second Lead

篤子 Child of Profound Emotions 篤子
G2 TIII Badger
• Descended from Mercy •
11/23/22 - 04/05/23
The Altruistic Lead


Furthered the work done by previous lead, nurturing the pack with a gentle hand and open heart, but seeking guidance from the established in the pack, as she recognized her position as second lead would be quite a trial for such a tender soul who lacked resolve and strategy. Many would find her confiding in elders and mentors for direction in such matters; but could be found alone divulging to the trees her worries and fears. A generous and gentle one loved by all no doubt, but respect was difficult to achieve for the young lead due to her shortcomings in practicality and her deep inability to rein in her emotions

徹 TOHRU 徹

Third Lead

徹 Transparent 徹
G2 TIII Pearl [Azure Eyes]
• Descended from Deity (Second Stud) •
04/05/23 - 11/25/23
The Clever Lead



Took a vigorous but humble approach to triage where previous lead fell short. Brought order to pack life and codified roles, locking down a better system for synergy within pack. A soft spoken one who rarely was found initiating conversation first, unless it concerned the betterment of pack life. She was often observed sitting high above the pack, contemplating or perhaps enjoying the lull from the packs good function. Discerning, most thought, but she knew it was simply gratitude to see her subjects free of worry and disorder. Many found deep admiration for her efforts, and her joy was rooted in the feedback of her work from the pack

空 SORA 空

Fourth Lead

空 Sky 空
G2 TIII Grulla [Halo Eyes]
• Descended from Kizu (Third Stud) •
11/25/23 - 07/02/24
The Passive Lead


Unlike her predecessor, Sora found her enjoyment in reaping the reward that was Tohru's work- entering into the lead role unaware of the strides it took to get to such a harmony. The pack knew their roles well and newcomers allocated themselves naturally to where they were suited best; a great ode to Tohru's initiative. Sora relished in conversing with the pack and moving them around the land; the hunters didn't take kindly to this, but the rest seemed enthusiastic for exploration. A vivacious soul who barely allowed the pack slip into disarray from her laissez-faire approach, luckily for her her subjects were well accustomed to the synergy they'd functioned under for many years

裏 URA 裏

Fifth Lead

裏 Cove | Beneath the Surface 裏
G2 TIII Chromium [Storm Eyes]
• Descended from Ijō (Fourth Stud) •
07/02/24 - 11/28/24
The Sentient Lead


Entering into leadership following such a grave display of bordering negligence; Ura made certain the abstracted roots her predecessor sowed would not bear fruit. A cognizant one to say the least- she was careful to observe the delicate relationships and harmony within the pack, and one would not find her hesitant to confront any disparities that occurred before her. Rarely was she met with reticence from those she sought to support or aid; her approach fostered the utmost safety and all knew it. The time she led was certainly not without trials- between losing territory unexpectedly and having to enforce difficult decisions based on packlife and roles, she was tested greatly and met with even greater support. Her reign would be remembered as the start to the Era of Flourishment, unwavering joy that would last nearly four generations

美優 MIYU 美優

Sixth Lead

美優 Gentle Beauty 美優
G2 TIII Chromium [Husky Eyes]
• Descended from Yūdai (Fifth Stud) •
11/28/24 -
The Tender Lead


The eponym of this one's name was believed by most to be a jape. With a devastating contrast between her dark marks, light coat, and ghostly eyes- nothing of her appearance was 'gentle', until you had experienced her grace firsthand. It was said upon her entrance into the world, she parted her eyes, looked up into the dark sky, and with a striking glare from above, her eyes became one with the moon. None had seen anything like it until her, and most thought it an omen from the Universe (whereas the rest knew it was basic genetics, of course). Her ascension was hasteful after her predecessor's passing. Her reign was quite uncomplicated compared to how history recalls the previous leads. Serenity filled nearly every day of packlife and even the days with grueling work to be done. When not having a quip with her packmates, she enjoyed the simplicity of foraging and mixing- likely an homage of her mother who was the pack's healer. Serafī, Miyu's mother, had passed quite early in Miyu's upbringing. But with the short time they shared, she was fond of relaying her knowledge of medicine to her offspring- Miyu heeding her words most. It was a comfort, and a grave torment, their resemblance; the pack teased that she was "her mother's shadow." 'Shadow' as in possessing her darker coat? 'Shadow' as in her innate affinity to her mother's craft? Or likely the shadow that portrayed the darker parts of her psyche. Miyu was gentle, that is undoubted. But between the deprivation that comes from the loss of a mother so early and the constant memory she existed as in others eyes by being so akin to Serafī; it left Miyu slighted. A semblance of imposter syndrome filled her upon each passing moon. So much so that she abandoned the customary silver headpiece all leads before her wore, and settled on an unassuming tail piece to signify her reign in a less brandishing way. The teeth of obscurity that sank into her was one she could not unlatch. It covered her like a veil until her final days as lead where she passed as a silently burdened soul, afflicted by the ambivalence of her purpose and sense of self. She shared her troubles with a very select few, but when asked of her lead- all remember her as a gentle hand that so tenderly guided the pack along in their Era of Flourishment
