Peregrine died young. Too young, in her mother's eyes. Peregrine was Moonflower's pride and joy, and her greatest achievement. Golden child and loved very much by her mother. Although she never received any affection from her father directly, he loved her from a distance. He didn't want to risk becoming too close with her, because he could already sense her fate. Peregrine was a very unhealthy puppy from day 1. Moonflower refused to believe it, because she was so hopeful.
