Howler

One of the first litter born to Three Moon Pack.   Someone told her that her color was like the rock called Howlite, and she decided that meant she should howl every chance she got.  Her high pitched puppy howls were pretty annoying for a while.  Even when she calmed down after a while, the name stuck.

As Howler grew, she proved to be an excellent guard.  Whenever there was an unusual sound or smell, her howls alerted everyone.  Unfortunately this also happened in the daytime when everyone was trying to sleep.

As of late, Howler has been caught - making up stories.  Not the good kind like Lonebriar tells, but just little untruths to help her get out of trouble.  Comet talks to her about it from time to time and she always promises to do better.

In the last days of winter, Howler came into her first heat.  When she wanted to know why none of the other wolves returned her interest, wise Timmain took her aside.  "Howler," she said, "it's because no one can trust you.  You are a wolf full-grown and you don't have to tell false tales to make people like you.  If you promise right now that you will change your ways, on your next heat I'll find you a suitable mate."

Howler pondered Timmain's words.  She wanted to growl and snap and say it wasn't true, but deep in her heart she knew it was.  She decided right then and there that she'd do her best to change and become a wise and true wolf like her mentor.

Howler is now a wise old wolf and a strong hunter.  She's even had a litter or two.  She knows Strider, her father is getting old now and she'll miss him yet she also knows it's the way of things.  She'll teach the new leader a thing or two.
