Named for her white pelt and soft markings, Oleander is a withdrawn, quiet wolf who was one of the founding wolves of the Lingering Howl, and was one of the original chasers chosen for Puddle's Party. While she is younger than the other wolves in the hunting party, her reservedness made her good company.
She bore pups twice, each to different fathers. The first four to Hurricane, the next five to Cassius. She hadn't wanted pups, but, it seemed her body thought so otherwise. Both times she fell pregnant, Oleander immediately cut ties with the pups' father. She wouldn't let another wolf come to their pack and demand the pups, or herself even. Both times, the herbalist, Sunflower and then Whitetail, saw only emptiness in their dreams. While she hadn't wanted the pups in the first place... it still pained her greatly....
Feathered Fog was renamed once he was given to another pack... and her second litter, Feather, Rust, Chevy, Pigeon, and Snowflake, are all waiting to either be old enough to seek adventure or another pack. Thank the stars for Aspen. The other mother wolf had thought of a way to spin such prophecies positively for her children... It made the two grow much closer.
Maybe even closer than Oleander was willing to admit.
It's not like Aspen would feel the same. The grey wolf went out to have pups, to have a family, and cherished her children. Even if her son Ashen had grown distant. Oleander couldn't provide the older hunter with a family the way she knew Ashen wanted it....
So her heart bleeds....
