Four

Four
(She originally looked like this.)

Puphood
Spoiler
She was originally named "Vi" by her birthmother Chaise, but the name was forgotten after her death. Haven and Polar referred to the pups by the number of stones on their necklaces.

Four is a perpetually worried pup, a little too used to her mothers warning her of all the terrible things that happen in the forest. She has a sharp mind that's always thinking, which leads her to predict things other wolves might not have considered in any given situation. Of course, she also overworries, which counts against her credit since her imagination runs wild on all the things she could do wrong. She was spooked by the horrific stories they'd tell her of what it's like to be a hunter in the forest, and she fears all that lurks beyond the bushes of their camp. One likes to pick on her for her worries, which her parents seem to pay no mind to. She's the most likely to be picked on of the group, and has learned to be cautious around her littermates because they rarely throw her a bone.

She liked D'arc when he's around because he was quiet and didn't make sudden movements. He was the most used to taking care of pups like her, and was much more open to relaxing or acting like her worries are reasonable, which she didn't get from her family. She liked Hayden less because he was very touchy, which she's sensitive about because of how One pushed her around.

She received a scar in her youth from One roughhousing near moss rock, tossing her into a sharp stone that got lodged in her leg.

Once Four became an underpaw, she continued to recieve the brunt of bullying from the adults as well as One. Grouse and One loved to jab fun at her. She was a bit too anxious to leave camp like Two and Three did, so she was generally surrounded by them except the rare occasions in the dark of her own den. It certainly didn't help her stress with things. Lux was a bit gentler on her, but clearly found Grouse and One's teasing to be amusing and rarely offered help afterwards. Same with Ember, who turned a blind eye to the whole thing or said it was "pups being pups".

She tried to sneak into the pupsitter's den to spend time with D'arc, who she saw as a respite, but he was always busy with the two new litters. Her parents, too, were busy overseeing the pups.
