Morning Dew

Spoiler Befriended on 2022-12-29, she was bonded to Hawk's Flame, and has one descendent from that pairbond, and another one from the stud at the time. She was first assigned the role of hunter, was later switched to a herbalist for some time and ended up becoming a mentor after being replaced by a younger herbalist.
Having spent the majority of her early life as a loner, Morning Dew was reluctant to join a pack at first when Summer Solstice found her on the vast and solitude-ridden grasslands, however now she believes this was her wisest decision she could make.

The first weeks of being a pack member weren't easy though, she was assigned the role of a hunter but her initial distrust of other wolves meant she often hunted alone, she'd spend exhausting hours out on the hunting-grounds only to come back either empty-handed or with a small critter.

The one time she to convinced herself to hunt with others proved to be a fateful day but not for the reasons one might expect. The hunting party had their sight set on a large stag believing they could take down the beast with numbers alone, they ended up coming back home with humbling failure and a severely injured finisher, Hawk's Flame.
The wound Hawk bore was a ghastly sight, a broken off piece of the stag's antler was pierced in his forearm. The pack was clueless on what to do, most of them were young and unexperienced, Morning Dew, however while living as a loner had encountered wolves bearing wounds similar if not worse than this. She might be wary and distrustful of strangers but she's empathetic and kind-hearted, so she always tried to help when she could.
These past actions bestowed her with knowledge on how to heal and tend for the wounded, so on the walk back home she had already wandered off to search for herbs. When the rest of the hunting party had arrived to the main camp, she already had gathered a mix of St. John's worts, winterfat and yarrows.

She used these herbs to create a salve, and applied these everyday to Hawk's wound, eventually Hawk was back to his old self and ready to hunt. The pack realized that Morning Dew's knowledge was an indispensable skill, and so, she took on a new role.
She became the pack's first Herbalist, and arguably the most important member of the pack. She was dutiful and committed, and expanded her knowledge everyday by researching every plant she could find.

Eventually as she grew older her role had grown to weigh more on her, days felt blurred together and her passion had began to die, but she felt revived when she took on an apprentice, Sun Drop.
He was inquisitive, eager to learn and always seemed to surprise Morning Dew, this small and nerdy adolescent reminded her of her own youth, and when Sun Drop eventually grew into an adult and overtook her role of Herbalist, Morning Dew felt nothing but proud.

With her duties relieved, she could've gone into retirement and have spent the rest of her days resting on golden dandelion fields, but she gained a passion for mentoring.
And so, she decided to instead spend what little time she has left on earth teaching new generations, every new pup she takes under her wing leaves a mark on her, sometimes she thinks they're the ones teaching her.
On quiet nights, she contemplates what the pack will be like once she's gone, she knows they'll do well, Sun Drop is a great herbalist, the adolescents are already starting their first hunts and new pups seem to be born everyday, but she can't help but worry if the foundation her generation built is strong enough to hold the temples and palaces the newer generations are building.
Well, only time can tell.
