Named for her pale warm coat with brown ticking, Sandbar is the daughter of lead wolf Whippoorwill and Original Hunt Lead Puddle. Despite how humble her pupsitter may have tried to raise her, this wolf still turned out arrogant and angry. Being the one pup of her mother's first litter to stay, she thought that it would have meant more. That her mother would have cherished her.
Instead, her mother seemed to ignore her all together, forgetting she was there, especially after Sandbar had been weaned. While Puddle never treated her terribly, it was enough to begin driving a wedge between the two. Even when the sandy pelted wolf took up hunting in her apprenticeship, even when she became the finisher of Rising Smoke's Party, nothing was enough.
Many of those in her pack describe her as careless towards others' feelings.
Was it the smell of Flame on her pelt? Even when she knew that she had stolen him from someone else? Oh, oops...
It got boring after a while, so she left him long behind...
And then, her pups were born. All three of them were meant to stay in the pack. What other mother was blessed with such? It was because she was the daughter of both a pack lead AND a hunt lead. Not to mention the standings of the pups' father.
She treated her daughters like princesses, with as high expectations that a princess should have. Her focus was on them, all of the time, the exact opposite of Puddle's parenting, and something Sandbar was quite proud of. Even if it had gone too far in the other direction.
She had to be hard on them though. One of them even bore part of her name after all... Sandstorm...
