Chosen by Shimeji, the second leader, as a pup to be a mate to her heir, Portobello.
From puppyhood she has striven to be a good example so that she could stand by her mate with pride. She was at first puzzled and wounded by Portobello's refusal to have pups, but she eventually came to understand him and respect his decision.
She did, however, encourage him not to force his heir into a relationship the way they were, which he wholeheartedly agreed with.
