Russet met Riverpaw shortly after she left the tyrranical ruling of her last pack. She was the Alpha's daughter, and she showed great potential at a young age. As such, she received extensive training since the moment she was weaned. Her siblings resented the special treatment she received, and her packmates assumed she was spoiled. She couldn't stand being controlled by her dad, and left shortly before her second birthday, which would have marked her promotion to Beta. She left her home in the grasslands in the middle of the night, beckoned by the reflection of the moon shimmering on the river. It was there she met Riverpaw, and embarked on a new chapter of her life. Russet was apprehensive about being named Beta, after all she had just escaped that role, however Riverpaw insisted there was no better choice. She accepted the responsibility, vowing to herself that she would advise Riverpaw as best she could, and ensure he doesn't abuse his status the way her father did. Russet held the role of hunting squad leader as well as her beta role for a long time, and led the hunts from the chaser position-- giving orders calmly and preventing disputes during the hunt. She stepped into the mentor role upon turning 5 years of age, now teaching essential lessons to the pack's pups with that same attentive air about her, though she shows a softer side of herself around the little ones.
