Sparrow was born in the early days of the Anrah Tribe as Countess Petra's oldest pup. She has only ever heard stories of her father--allegedly a powerful king of a foreign pack nearby in the coniferous forest. The knowledge that she is a real-life princess seems to go to her head early on, giving Sparrow self-esteem so strong that it could be called arrogance. Staying with the tribe while her brother is sent to another pack only seems to cement this. While she is incredibly smart from the beginning, it seems that wisdom is her greatest weakness. Sparrow does not know the realities of how cruel life can be.
She always knew that she should be a hunter like her mother, though Petra's attempts at mentoring her daughter always seemed to boil over. Eventually, Sparrow broke out and joined a separate hunting party and became a successful finisher.
