This wolf has a mutation or secondary mutation that causes blindness! Unfortunately, she can never lead the pack, participate in training, become an apprentice or perform a role.
I find it funny that the largest pup turned out to be the blind one.
I saw the snake thing and thought omg it could be someone's evil lil buddy and thought seeing-eye snake.
Because Adelaide (Ad) isn't allowed to train with her siblings she walked around asking other wolves to train her. One wolf was standing completely still and Ad failed to notice the wolf until she walked into her.
The wolf she walked into was Kelar, a wolf most in the pack fear. Ad asked if Kelar would be willing to train her. Kelar who would never admit has a soft spot for young wolves did agree to train her.
After a month of training Kelar gave Ad a gift, a Flaming Effigy Trinket, and a baby snake that Ad quickly became friends with calling it her seeing-eye snake. (Name of snake: Eyes.)
After Ad had memorized a small part of the forest with Kelar and some of Emery's help she manged to chase down a small hare. (When she's a adolescent.)
"They want to see your reaction, saying that your joy is like a gift to them." .... what can you even say to this?
