Sleet

Sleet is a figure of quiet resilience and keen observation within the pack, known not only as the primary pupsitter but also for her calm and perceptive nature. At over five years old, Sleet has a mysterious past, one she rarely speaks of, though her wise demeanor hints at many untold stories. Her snow-white coat sets her apart in the dense forest, a stark figure watching over the young with an intensity that few can match. While her own past remains hidden, she has found purpose and peace within the pack, serving as a stable and protective presence for each new generation.

Despite her age, Sleet recently had her first litter—a surprise to many in the pack. Her two surviving pups, Pesto and Andesite, reflect her own complex spirit: Pesto is bold and adventurous, forever testing boundaries and exploring the world with boundless curiosity; Andesite, by contrast, has a wry, sarcastic edge, often observing his surroundings with a smirk and a remark to match. Sleet watches over both with a steady, attentive eye, allowing them room to explore while ensuring they learn the lessons of pack life. She is fiercely protective of her sons, guiding them with a mix of tenderness and firmness that has quickly shaped them into promising young wolves.

As the primary pupsitter, Sleet is responsible for the care and early education of the pack's youngest members, a role she embraces with dedication and patience. She often spends hours observing the pups, quietly noting their unique personalities and gently steering their behavior as they grow. Her observant personality makes her a natural at identifying each pup's strengths and helping them develop confidence, though her wisdom extends beyond mere playfulness. Sleet is the first to notice when a pup is struggling, often sensing troubles before the young wolves themselves are even aware of them.

Her position as the primary pupsitter occasionally brings her into conflict with Cave, her bossy counterpart. Though he commands attention through assertiveness, Sleet's approach is more subtle. She prefers to guide the pups with gentle nudges rather than direct orders, which sometimes leads to quiet friction between the two. However, her calm demeanor and steady presence usually win the pups' favor, and her wisdom and experience are deeply respected within the pack.

Sleet's mysterious past and reserved nature add to her quiet strength. While the others know little about where she came from or the life she led before joining the pack, it's clear she's seen much of the world and survived its harsher lessons. She carries herself with a serene confidence that commands respect, and her unassuming way of leading by example has made her an invaluable member of the pack.

Now, as a mother for the first time in her later years, Sleet's life has taken on new depth and purpose. Her bond with her sons is a quiet but powerful thing, and she often observes them from a distance, content to let them grow into their own personalities under her watchful eye. Sleet's legacy within the pack is one of patience, insight, and quiet strength—a wolf who sees all, speaks little, and leaves an indelible mark on the lives she shapes.
