Stella

As Stella trots past you, she quickly gives you a smile as she sets off to hunt.

Stella lived her first year of her life in the hands of humans. She was born as a wolfdog from a backyard breeder, along with 3 siblings, but was soon taken away to an animal welfare institution Since her mother died shortly after her birth, she and her siblings were raised by a surrogate mother, another wolfdog that had raised many orphaned pups.
During a rutine cleaning, Stella managed to escape into the riparian wilderness. Living in the wilderness proved to be a lot more difficult than living in captivity, yet she persevered. As a dispersal, she met 2 other dispersal wolves. She courted both, but never managed to successfully bond with any of the two.
By her fourth year, she had learned to survive well on her own, but she longed for company. Other packs she had met had only chased her off their territory, so she had never joined a pack. This all changed when she met the newly bonded Midnight and Cipher, whom she joined, becoming one of the pack's founders. She took her role as a chaser, enjoying the feel of running through the woods with the wind blowing in her fur.
