SpoilerLeaf That Tumbles was born to Night Of No Stars's first litter, coming out as a normal-sized puppy. His coat, a mix of brown and dark gray, made him stand out among his siblings. Was named after the first thing Night Of No Stars saw after he was born, a tumbling leaf.

During his first weeks of life, Leaf That Tumbles always liked to frolic around the Nursery, pawing at his sisters and listening to his mother's stories. His favorite activity was to act as the story's main hero, saving other wolves from the danger. Song of Songbird often didn't enjoy the fact that she had to be the villain, and her brother always had to be the hero. Crag Where Nest Lays wasn't onto games.

Leaf That Tumbles always liked it when aunt Sunset Over the Horizon came to visit the Nursery, since he knew he was going to obtain an item from her. The toy he most liked to play with was wet sticks; according to Leaf That Tumbles, the sticks became literally ''sticky'' when wet, and then he was able to simulate biting a doe deer's chunky leg.

Once Leaf That Tumbles became five weeks old, he was significantly bothering his mother to let him go out and explore already. However, Night Of No Stars was more clever, and knew something bad could happen to her puppies if she let them out early. After all, they still couldn't even eat regurgitated meat, they still needed milk.

One fateful day, at 1 month old, Leaf That Tumbles's urge to explore was way too high, and while his mother and sisters were resting inside the Nursery, he sneaked out without anybody noticing. Leaf That Tumbles was filled with joy as he looked around the pack, the main central was huge!

But, something came to Leaf That Tumbles's head. If the central was already huge, the whole territory should be as big as a bison! He sneaked away from the central and began exploring. The Deciduous Forest was peaceful that morning, without any predators lurking around.

Even though there weren't dangers coming directly from the predators, there were still many things that young pups couldn't eat, and Leaf That Tumbles wasn't warned of that. He came across some tasty-looking colorful berries, which would probably make him full!

But the worse happened. These berries actually tasted good, and Leaf That Tumbles ate all of the ones he could find! But, after a few minutes, he wasn't feeling really well. It turned out that these berries were actually poisonous to wolves, especially young ones such as Leaf That Tumbles! After a while, Leaf That Tumbles began to vomit in the grass, some berries coming out of his stomach, but most of them staying there. Leaf That Tumbles fainted, as the pain in his stomach was too strong for a young pup to handle.

Autumn Leaf Falling, the pack's scout, found Leaf That Tumbles laying on the ground while patrolling. However, it was already too late. The young pup's breathing had already stopped, and his heart beating had stopped aswell. Autumn Leaf Falling tried to take Leaf That Tumbles to the pack's theta, Fish Leaping From River, but nothing couldn't save the poor 1 month old pup now.

Once Night Of No Stars found out about her pup's death, she was devastated, and even distanceated herself from her two other daughters. Sunset Over The Horizon was also saddened, feeling sorry for the pup's demise. The pack's breeding male, Drumming When Elk Leaps, just paid respect without words.

Upon his death, Leaf That Tumbles woke up in the Dynastypack, where he would be welcomed by other deceased pack members. Once he arrived, he told a dead wolf that he saw an elk in his trip, and liked the antlers. He asked if he could become one! The wolf giggled a little, but nodded, and gave Leaf That Tumbles elk antlers, hooves and some blue aura surrounding his unique coat. Now, Leaf That Tumbles could finally explore the heavenly territory of the Dynastypack, without ever having to worry about poisonous berries. From time to time, Leaf That Tumbles visited the Earth as a ghost and cuddled with his sisters, even though they couldn't feel anything at all. Leaf That Tumbles was finally free to be whatever he wanted to, and do whatever he well-desired.
