Born to a pack that had been dying out and living off little scraps, Avalanche's life as a young pup was not easy.
Living off any meat scraps, frogs, and any small creatures he could find nearby his home, Avalanche just barely made by. However, as he got older, the farther he had to go to find even the smallest of prey to fill his aching stomach.
Eventually Avalanche left and never returned, going far beyond his families dried and dead lands, filled with dead sparse grass and trees ready to fall after years of being scorched by the sun and the occasional wildfire.
Soon he saw green grass and trees that were filled with life, awing him. At this point he was still young, only around a year and a half of age.
There he was found by a pack that resided in an area near a glacial run-off, who took him in, in exchange he helps hunting parties through the dangerous lands he'd navigated to them, which had been always full of prey.
One such day, was his fated day of meeting Frostbite. The daughter of the leaders, and a love forbidden from blossoming. On the full moon Avalanche was chased away, into the Unknown Wilds, which they had never once entered, not even him.
Struggling to keep himself alive against bears, timber wolves, and more, he eventually heard a wolf howling in the distance, and after being alone for so long he joined in, only to be met with Frostbite once more.
As their pack settled in, more and more joined them and Avalanche never lost the habit of bringing home frogs and small creatures for everyone to eat, a habit he'd earned from his childhood.
