Lunar Dynamo

Son of Raubritter and Snickerdoodle. For a long time, he was the youngest member of the Ghost River hunting squad. It's annoying being a finisher when your dad is finisher of a much more experienced and successful squad and side-eyes you whenever you come home with nothing. (Even though we just moved to the taiga and it's winter and dad never had to deal with these kinds of conditions when he was learning to hunt.) Lunar's not a quitter though. He's determined to be a better hunter than his dad someday.

update (5/29/21): He did it! At 3y10m Lunar surpassed his dad in hunting skill. (Raubritter's strength = 316; Lunar's strength = 325) Raubritter's still got an edge in speed and can beat Lunar in a sparring match...for now.

As a pup, Lunar was caught up in the pack's succession conflict: Raubritter wanted Lunar to be the heir, while Taro was pushing for her son Leviathan. Taro suggested settling the issue with a fight between the pups. That's Taro's solution for everything; just fight it out and be friends afterwards. But Raubritter rejected the idea. He didn't like Lunar's odds in a straight fight.

Instead, once the pups reached adolescence, our herbalist Lime set up a trial that was part treasure hunt, part obstacle course. She hid an aging crystal deep in the forest, and the first one to find and lick it would be the heir. Lime and Carob served as neutral observers to make sure there was no interference or foul play.

Levi was the victor. ("Shoulda just fought," said Taro.) So Levi became heir, while Lunar followed in his dad's footsteps as hunter.
