For Doomhowl, Doomhowl comes first. The only exceptions are probably her blood-related family members.
She hunts because SHE needs to eat. She has pups because SHE wants them. She could also live on her own, thank you very much.
Doom can be very hard to deal with. She's egoistical and has a temperament, BUT she also respects the lead wolf. She would have left long ago if she didn't think her pack and it's leadership a capable one.
