Magpie

The original Magpie --- the founder, the one who established the territory and built the pack up from its roots. She is, or was, a pillar of her community, but impersonal and distant. For years, instead of spending time with her packmates on a personal level, she disappeared for days on end and spoke nothing of her findings when she returned. She was always searching for something, but never confided what for.

But one day, when two odd pups appeared at the very edge of their territory, it was like something changed. An odd sense of relief surrounded the old leader, and she seemed less loss. She started speaking and connecting with her packmates more -- as best as she could -- aswell as spending more time near the dens. A few grew suspicious of this change, along with the pups, but most came to agree that it's probably nothing nefarious.

Unfortunately, Magpie would later lose her life defending her pack from something none of them could ever comprehend. Leaving behind no explanation or even semblance of closure, the pack had to hesitantly look towards those two, odd pups she had one day brought home.
