Armania

Firstborn of the second litter of the king and queen, Silvana and Nuncio. Armania was quickly seen to transcend her older sisters and littermate Heylia in talent, and early on Silvana considered her an heir, as Gianna had taken up hunting and Lucia pupsitting. These littermates were near identical and stuck together as twins, gaining the adoration of the pack from a young age. Heylia didn't mind her sister standing out as the 'crown princess,' and they were thick as thieves.. Well, rather well-behaved thieves who were beacons of moral righteousness and mature for their age. 

But these two still had their fun, and Armania realized that she may be able to get away with certain things that other pups might not due to their social status. One literal slip up in secretly following a hunting patrol was all it took, though. Falling into a contaminated stream too big for her small puppy size to cross, the oily water sucked her down and its iridescent shimmer coated her pelt, splashing along her face and back, pouring into her ears. Calling for help, the pup was rescued and suffered minimal harm, but that nasty, rusty red stain just wouldn't leave her pelt. As if an unspoken sign to her parents and pack, suddenly talk of Armania being the heir ceased. Her parents were young, and this was only their second litter - surely they could bear another heir in their likeness. 

Heylia still wished to stay with Armania, and thought her punishment cruel and unjust for one curious mistake - but the red-stained pup pushed her sister away, like everyone else had her. Too absorbed in guilt and self-hate, the pup grew a quiet life and resigned herself to scouting duties, the lonely role suiting her just fine.
