This Christmas I'll Burn It To The Ground!

She was patrolling the pines, lost in her own world. She was thinking about what she could do to prove she could be as great an alpha as her father, but...she still wasn't sure if she wanted to be. She just...wasn't feeling as confident as she thought. The day in the cave with the freaky firefly guy yelling at her had really shattered her confidence, and she just couldn't tell her father. She didn't want to disappoint him, so she felt...stuck. As she stopped at the edge of the pines and stared across the border, she suddenly felt the weight of her macaque companion fall on her back and she was immediately drawn back to the present. "Winter! There's a problem!" She hadn't been paying much attention of course, so she was confused when her companion said that. "What's wrong?" "Did you not hear that call? Your cousin, Ignis, has called you to the ship! He's challenging for Winterfell!"

Her ears fell back, heart dropping like stone as the words sunk in. "W-what...?" Ignis was...challenging for the pack? "Don't just stand there! Move it!" She shook out of her stupor and started heading towards the ship. She ran of course, but the entire time she couldn't fathom why her cousin of all people was challenging her for the pack. She didn't know Ignis that well, but growing up she had seen him as nothing but kind and friendly. Did he figure out that she didn't want to be an alpha? Or maybe noticed she wasn't a good one? She knew she was still learning, but...why? Her anxiety started to crash down on her all at once, nearly causing her to stumble as she ran to meet him. She didn't know who all would be there, and the thought that everyone would be watching her try to defend her position made her heart pound. She was feeling incredibly pressured and already comparing herself to Ignis. If she had to fight, she knew who'd win...she wasn't as nearly experienced as the adults were...what the hell was she supposed to do?

Charging up the ship, she was sure her anxiousness was rolling off in waves. Still, she tried to appear as confident as she could by giving herself a moment to raise her head and look as confident as possible. Finally, when she felt somewhat presentable, she couldn't help the way her ears fell back as she spotted her father, Yurei, and Tsunami. Her eyes would fall on Ignis last. Staring at his back as he looked out across the territory. She glanced at her father who was also focused on Ignis, and it was clear by the tension in the air that this was unexpected and a surprise to them all. "Ignis...you're challenging me for Winterfell? Why...?" Her voice wavered with lack of confidence as she questioned him. Already feeling like she was failing her father. She knew he would not have faltered in a situation like this...
