Kanika was traded from an unknown pack to Snowfur for money when she was 9 months old. Snowfur was still assembling her pack fully when she took Kanika into her home. Kanika was immediately given to Rhia, a rough on the outside; soft on the inside pupsitter. Rhia taught the young Kanika how to be the best wolf she could be and eventually Sadi trained her to be a hunter.
