Joan was initially initiated into the pack in Spring of Year 1, during the puppy boom of that season. She was pregnant herself - and was distinguished by her bright, colorful fur colors - what she says was natural to her since birth. Coincidentally, she also is an artist, who is both passionate for and skilled at creating and applying dyes made out of various organic and inorganic materials. Isli, in her characteristic style, decried Joan's quirks as a good omen for the pack. Now, Joan works on foraging and painting dyes onto various hides and rocks around the Sisters' den and territories - something she does happily.
Apparently, she hails from a Grasslands tribe where she never quite fit in - she is quite forthcoming about her past history and experiences, and how dissatisfied she has been with packs before she found the Sisters. Her gratitude for their shelters shows through her thanks and her undaunted sense of optimism for the pack.
