Megaera, Herbalist and Founder of Orestes Pack
Meg was never a pleasant wolf. As a pup, she bit her siblings. As an adult, she bit her pack mates. (Honestly great for sticking to her values on that one.) But either way, Meg was never really appreciated for her brilliant mind. If anything, she was scorned from her original pack and chased away. She hated others so she tried to run it solo. That meant hunting though. And blood? On her coat? No way. Megaera tried her best but failed at living on her own. When she met Evander of Orestes Pack, she had been muddling herbs into a poultice for strength. Evander had a horrid cough and looked ready to collapse. She grudgingly found the herbs to help him out and let him rest by her until he was ready to go back.
Impressed by her skillset, he asked her to return to Orestes with him. She refused. So he asked again. And again, she refused. He asked again but with a promise of food and her own den for herbs- now that was an offer she couldn't refuse. So she returned with Evander and became their herbalist. Pups feared her and adults tolerated her. Despite that, she found several friendships among the pack and with Herbert the bear who helped her develop her skillset. It was a long and successful life.
By mistake, Megaera had a litter which shocked more than just the leaders. She said many times how she didn't want pups. Over and over again. When her pups were born and raised, Dimitra was the only one to stay with Orestes Pack.
When Meg passed, her daughter stayed close and made sure to hold her paw through to the end. Per her request, Dimitra planted an acorn on her grave so a beautiful tree could grow from her remains.
