Xanthe
The traveling physician who found permeance.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ. ───

Xanthe was born into a wolf pack filled with advanced medicines and many herbalists that traveled and helped packs without a herbalist for a fee. Xanthe eventually learned these advanced medicines from her packmates, as do all pups at her age. However Xanthe was gifted with great wisdom at a young age and quickly learned the way of medicines and applied her knowledge very thoroughly. Eventually it was time for Xanthe's own adventure.

When traveling miles away from her pack she had spotted a forest gathering of a few other wolves who looked like nobody she's ever seen. She had walked up and greeted the wolves naively which eventually led to an altercation and Xanthe having to run away before she got more hurt or killed. One of her hind legs however was caught up in the crossfire and had gotten ripped to shreds. Xanthe could feel the burn as she tried to limp away as far as possible away from the wolfpack that fought her off their territory. Eventually finding a small clearing she laid down next to a tree and got to work on her leg that was heavily bleeding. After a long day of tending to her wounds she had eventually grown tired and fell unconscious.

Xanthe woke up in a place she did not recognize from before her slumber and was instead found in a small bed in a cave. Xanthe quickly got up and felt the sting from her leg and decided to sit back down. Which is what alerted the snow white wolf to her. The wolf introduced herself as Dione and had asked what the herbalist what she was doing alone and injured. Xanthe had explained the situation as a gray wolf entered as well. The gray wolf looked ill and sickly. Xanthe noticed it and decided to not mention in front of the snow white wolf until she had left the small cave. Eventually she learned his name was Cronus.

Xanthe had learned about this new wolf pack that he had established and he had confessed he was a little under the weather and saw she was carrying herbs with her and obviously carried some knowledge to medicines. She had somewhat explained her situation to Cronus and offered medical help to him and others in his pack since it seemed like they had no herbalist. Cronus took the help and thus started Xanthe's stay in the new pack.

Eventually Xanthe had puppies with a male from outside of the pack and decided to stay in the pack longer for no fee while she raised her own. The few weeks of being a mother was tough on Xanthe even with the pupsitter she had gotten to known, Tyche, at her side she had lost a very young puppy. With the death of her puppy she couldn't save she had grieved for a long time eventually ending in a saddening place which led to Tyche taking care of the now grieving mom. Xanthe was now left with her two daughters and decided to make a big decision to give up her weaker daughter for the gorilla to protect. Even though Xanthe loved her daughter and wanted to see her grow up that was the very reason to also give her up so she stayed protected from anything likely to happen.

Eventually Xanthe made the decision to stay in the pack after some convincing from Tyche, her newly found lover, and Cronus. She had a realization while watching her last daughter, Alcmene, play with the other pups in the pack which also included her adopted daughter, Nephele. The pack still had not found a permanent herbalist to replace her, so what's better than treating a newly found and growing pack? Xanthe was dedicated to her work to the pack and everyone knew and accepted her as a new found member of the pack when she had announced to Cronus that she would be staying until her inevitable death. Now Xanthe spends her stays teaching some of the pups her herbalist work and giving advice to her own pups.
