Being what the Stormchaser's called a moss and sunlit furred wolf, Bean didn't have much luck when it came to packs. That tone of green and gold, along with the white markings was basically a screaming sign of "I'm here, attack me!". Their pacifist nature gave them no favors as well;
Grizzly and Swallowtail had a solution; if Bean came to their pack and trained as an herbalist, there wouldn't be any problems. And so Bean took on the name of apprentice, and began to work on daily puzzles and logical questions that the older male would give them;
The day before they firmly grew into their paws, Grizzly took off, leaving his mate, his apprentice, and his children behind. It left the pack without their healer, and it left Bean without their friend and teacher.
Bean swore that they'd never follow Grizzly's footsteps and leaving behind a family in need and a pack in dire times; and they swore to take care of Azalea as well.
