Born in the ninth spring of The Sanctuary Pack
Parents: Eight, Dace
Personality: Though as bold and confident as her mother Dace, Lenok is a a little less rash than Dace was at her age, preferring to pause and think things through before committing to a course of action-- though once she commits, she's all-in, and her force of personality can sometimes bowl over other, less confident wolves.
She makes Dace- somewhat ruefully- understand why her own mother, Saturn, named her after a tiny fish; to encourage her to be less of a headstrong bully despite her size and confidence (it hadn't worked then, and Dace doubts that it will work now).
Naming Conventions: Fish, Second Generation
Lenok was born in a slightly chaotic time for The Sanctuary Pack, as Dace was devoting her every waking hour to training and testing her prospective successors. One apprentice is usually a lot of work for a single wolf to handle; Dace, true to form, had decided to take on three at once, and- no longer a young wolf- she was running herself ragged trying to keep up with the work.
But though Dace was a stubborn old wolf, and had her whole life been somewhat headstrong and set-in-her-ways, some things had changed. When Lenok was born, Dace vowed not to make the same mistakes she'd made with her first daughter, Perch.
She delegated many of her training duties to trusted packmates-- old friends and proven council members like Rime, Eight, Grayling, and Carnassial. Though it pained her to step back even an inch from her self-appointed duties, Dace was determined to be there for her pup, and Lenok grew up very close with both of her mothers.
Lenok's older sister, Perch, has complex feelings on the matter. She's glad to see the proof that Dace has changed, after all, but it stings a little to see that Dace is capable of being an attentive parent, and know that she wasn't that for Perch.
Dace's treatment of Lenok means that, years after Dace first apologized to Perch, Perch is finally ready to accept the apology, though her and Dace's relationship remains somewhat complicated. The family does begin spending more time together, though. Perch finds she gets along well with Eight, and Perch's own pup, Kit, grows close with his new aunt.
