Dirt Smudge, or "Dirt" for short, was abandoned at a young age by her previous pack, the Stalking Thorn Pack. She was found wandering aimlessly in the wilderness, and though Field of Sunlit Rye does not usually take in puppies from other packs, he was influenced by his instincts following his first litter, and thus decided to take her in without a second thought. She mentioned that her name was Dirt, so Rye gave her an expanded name: Dirt Smudge. Curiously, her light-colored fur grew darker and darker over time, and her base fur color ended up shifting from glaucous to black during her adolescence. She chose to become a permanent pupsitter in her adulthood.
