🦴 Mercedes ✨

This rather combative and disagreeable she-wolf came into the pack as an adolescent. They found her difficult to get along with and averted to socializing with others. This, of course, caught the attention of the stubborn and curious Zephyr II, drawing him to attempt to connect with her. After many failed tries and some rather close calls with her powerful jaws, Zephyr seemed to nearly be ready to give up.
Frustrated and missing the companionship of his long lost friend Adria, Zephyr finally approached Mercedes, ready to confront her about her ill-mannered nature. Things quickly spiraled out of control from there, the two getting into a rather intense brawl. The fight lasted minutes, though it felt like weeks to an anxious pack, the herbalist Jeremiah III waiting with baited breath to start patching up bloodied necks and paws. However, through some miracle, Zephyr II and Mercedes both emerged with non life-threatening injuries, and a newfound respect for one another.
Mercedes still wasn't exactly willing to frolic in the flower fields with the other members after all was said and done, but she did begin to show a tad more respect for the pack, and became more cooperative with the hunting party. Slowly but surely, she found her place among the ranks, and began her ascent to becoming one of the greatest finishers the pack had seen to date.
