She wasn't much of a wanderer - especially during the winter. She preferred to stay close to her family, curled into her brothers and sister's sides and nestled alongside her mother. Yet she got ancy, just as any pup did - felt the urge to stretch her growing limbs and explore the lands that she called home. It was why she snuck out of her den, leaving her dozing siblings behind. She would probably return before they woke up, but if she didn't she knew that one of her parents wouldn't be far behind.


Her oddly swirled eyes of yellow and blue flicked over the terrain, and then she was off - trailing after nothing in particular for no real reason at all. Unaware of danger, she fumbled over branches and leaves and patches of ice, getting back up after she fell without so much as a squeak. She had no intention of stopping either - until she heard the voice of another wolf. The girl blinked, turning toward the sound before changing her direction to follow it to the source. The voice was younger, like hers - and she was excited to be able to meet another pup. "What did you do?" She asked when she was finally close enough to the other to see him. He was black and grey with bright blue eyes and a pretty shape under his eyes that reminded her of the sky.
