Ashen Woods

Affectionately named after her father, Paws, (more commonly referred to as Junior) despite being so young is currently expected to one day become the heir to leader of Ashen Pack and carry on her father's name into a strong new generation.

after watching all of her friends be sent away, she is sadder than ever to see the other pups think that it was her fault that their friends were sent away. despite her father and Mist trying their best to defend her, she always gets an earful. She feels like she has to become someone great now... or else all this pain would've been for nothing.

Junior has become an official adolescent. She's experiencing feelings she can't quite control, and still gets teased by her friends. they race her, knowing full well she can't keep up with any of them, but her father is there to protect her. though this is true, she doesn't favor her father, but instead spends most of her time with Lichen and Wisteria. she likes them a lot better. she's not even sure if she wants to become leader when the time comes... Lichen tells her she has plenty of time to figure it out.

Winter has come, and Junior feels less than ready for it. thankfully Flame has stopped teasing her, but she is still frustrated at how much weaker she is than everyone else. She is thankful, however for Wisteria, Lichen, and Hero's company. they are all good friends with her now, and are eager to help her out when she needs it.

Ashen Woods has changed her name, seeing it as childish, and desires to be called Woods from here on, so the pack does just that. she doesn't want to follow what her father expects of her, yet she isn't so sure of what she wants to do with herself either. she wants to give to the pack. that much she knows, so she decides to help hunt, determined to get stronger and contribute to the growing starvation amongst them. the winter stunted their food supply, and it quickly ran out. she understands her father must've not been ready for the intensity of winter. but she will do better. she plans to create a storage throughout spring and summer until winter that will hopefully supply them as long as winter draws out, but we will see.

after the flood, Woods took it upon herself to replace Rising Dawn in the pack, she knew with her strength she wouldn't ever truly be as good as her, but she could try. Woods looks upon the pack's sad faces and cant help but wonder if this is how they felt a year ago..

Woods has bonded with Wisteria, and he has given her a blessing from the lunar lands. he said it would protect her, while also serving as a symbol of their lifelong bond. she was very thankful, and couldn't imagine herself with a more perfect male.
