Return to Wolves of River Twine Holt.
The following are some of our recently deceased members of the wolf pack:
|
Bracken (born RTH 2470 / bonded to Farscout, died in RTH 2501.10). A mid-ranked male, Bracken was a stubborn and wily fighter; old age only made him more aggressive. Knew his place in the pack and defended it ruthlessly, but somewhat a loner by nature. |
|
Brindlefur (RTH 2508, unbonded; died RTH 2511.02.22) Female second-year. Not a very assertive wolf, but kept up with her peers. A very fast runner in straight lines, but wasn't very maneuverable or agile. Was one of the wolves who accompanied Blacksnake out into the eastern scrublands during the mission to scout the Fierce Ones hunting party in early RTH 2511. Was killed by a Fierce Ones arrow. |
|
Bristlepelt (RTH 2486 / bonded to Rainpace; died RTH 2511.02). Mid-ranked female. Bristlepelt was gray-white with a thick bushy tail giving her her name. Very mellow around elves, calmly authoritative in the wolf pack, and a devout howler at the moon. Died in a fall from icy rocks in RTH 2511.02. Littermate of Starlight. |
|
Charm (RTH 2492 / bonded to True Edge; died RTH 2511.03). Omega-ranked female. Charm didn't mind being omega very much. Though she didn't like being harassed by the rest of the pack, she seemed to be undisturbed by it at most times. She acted more dainty than timid around other pack members. Like all wolves she liked her bond but generally only sought him out besides the hunt, after having been put in her place and knowing it was probably better to stay away for a while. She was just a sweetheart who was just a little bit dense. In 2504, while out on a long-range scouting trip with True Edge, she managed to get bred by a stranger-wolf from outside the pack. This caused some strife within the tribe's pack -- Whirl harassed Charm, and when the litter was born, Whirl took it over. Succumbed to the stress of her hard life (and also possibly to some of the same congenital condition that resulted in Lightjaw's relatively early natural death) while at Bluestone Cave in RTH 2511.03. Littermate of Lightjaw and Silverbite. |
|
Crawfish (RTH 2477 / bonded to Beetle, dies in RTH 2502.03) A mid-ranked female, Crawfish wasn't the best or brightest. Had a lazy streak a mile wide, and enjoyed nosing around the river shallows for a snack of frog or crawfish. She was aggressive about her place in the pack, and would rouse herself fiercely to defend her position from youngsters who thought her usual easy demeanor meant she'd be an easy target. Was killed by a Baha hunter (Bomo) while defending a kill. |
|
Darkpelt (RTH 2478 / bonded to Dreamflight). Omega-ranked male. Dreamflight's last bond was finally run off by the pack after getting to ripe old age. |
|
Flysnap (RTH 2500 / unbonded). Omega-ranked male. Littermate of Browncoat and Flea, and the largest of his litter; was Browncoat's henchman until finally being run off in the spring of RTH 2502. |
|
Grizzle (RTH 2472 / bonded to Willow; died RTH 2501.10.30) Mid-ranked male. Grizzle was one of the oldest wolves in the pack at his time of death. He had always been a temperamental wolf, with a grumpy disposition. He was quick to growl or snap at wolves who were of lesser rank than he was, and had even snapped at his elf-bond more than his fair share of times. He and Willow do not have a close relationship. Was killed while defending Willow and Pathmark from a bear. |
|
Growler (RTH 2488 / bonded to Quick Fang; died RTH 2514). Mid-ranked male. Growler lives up to his name – he vocalizes a lot, often in a deep-throated, guttural moan that he uses to get attention, than as an actual growl. Not overly serious, except when it comes to hunting; otherwise he's playful and thinks his elf-bond can be too serious. He hates bees, and slap-tails annoy him to no end. Because of Quick Fang's deep resentment towards quillrats, Growler has developed one for them too; he also growls whenever Chicory, Notch, or Starskimmer come within his vicinity. Littermate of Sleuth, Soot and Weasel. Died in RTH 2514 (how, to be determined). |
|
Half-Tail (RTH 2480 / bonded to Windsong). High-ranked female. Quick and mischievous in cubhood, Half-tail was still spry for her age to the end and had a solid sense of humor. She liked cubs, both elven and wolf, and could usually be found poking around the den tree even if Windsong was busy doing things, as she loved knowing everything that happens. In the pack she had a stable rank, being older and a good hunter despite her odd balance. Died of old age. |
|
Icemane (born RTH 2484 / bonded to Suddendusk; died RTH 2514.02.). Low-ranked female. More cunning than she is strong, Icemane is constantly on the lookout for opportunities to advance her standing in the pack. Fully grown, however, she knows she is not going to get bigger or stronger, and is more or less content with her rank, but she still keeps her eyes out for weaknesses in others that she can exploit. She is good at stalking and harrying, but poor at outright attacking. She earned her name for her fur. Littermate of Wasp. Died in RTH 2514.02, of old age. |
|
Icestalker (born RTH 2479 / bonded to Longshot; died RTH 2503.05.25). Beta male. Icestalker was very competitive, loved splash fights and also enjoyed wrestling with Longshot. Since he was a young wolf, he'd been dedicated to fighting his way up through the ranks of the pack, bucking for Alpha position, until he was finally killed by Evervale's bond Halfmoon in a challenge-fight. |
|
Lightjaw (RTH 2492 / bonded to Greenweave; died RTH 2510.04.17). Mid-ranked female. Had a very light mouth when taking food or items. Loved to swim. Died of natural causes, probably a weak heart that was a largely unknown congenital condition. Littermate of Charm and Silverbite. |
|
Longtooth (RTH 2489 / bonded to One-Leg; died RTH 2514.06). High-ranked male. An aggressive, temperamental and ambitious wolf who is always quick to chastise animals of lower rank as well as snatch opportunities to rise in the social order. He’s also generally willing to carry riders other than his own during a hunt – just so long as you ask respectfully. Littermate of Mooncrier, Thief and Whirl, and is still close to Mooncrier; has supported her remaining with the pack until she finally bonded with Honey. Was killed during a challenge by the unbonded-at-the-time Patchface. |
|
Sky (RTH 2483 / bonded to Willow; died RTH 2514.) Low-ranked female. Clever and almost contemplative, usually found sitting in shaded places and staring, thinking deep thoughts known only to her. A delicate mount, and happy to carry cubs just learning to ride. Died in RTH 2514, of old age. |
|
Soot (RTH 2488 / bonded to Whispersilk). Low-ranked female. Easy going and laid back, Soot was more on the lazy side then anything. Prefers to spend time sleeping next to Whispersilk, especially while she was working. Had never been one to be horridly playful, and was never interested in raising her rank within the pack. Enjoyed the simple pleasure of life: a nice belly rub, a warm place to curl up, and a full belly. Did go hunting when needed, but preferred gathering with Whispersilk. Had a nose for berries and nuts. Littermate of Growler, Sleuth and Weasel. Was run off soon after Whispersilk's death. |
|
Spirit (RTH 2479 / bonded to Cloudfern) Low-ranked female. Was quiet, good-natured and playful, very maternal. A good auntie. Talkative; often makes small vocalizations that sound conversational. Quite dignified and ladylike. Fond of water, liquid or frozen - the sort who will play in the river, "fish," chew up icicles, bite at snowflakes, etc. Littermate of Icestalker. Died of old age. |
|
Wasp (born RTH 2484 / bonded to Blacksnake; died RTH 2511.04). Alpha male. Aggressive, crafty, a brawler when necessary (and smart enough not for it to be necessary). Littermate of Icemane. Died in an encounter with a grizzly bear mother in 04 of RTH 2511. |
|
Whirl (born RTH 2489 / bonded to Windburn; died RTH 2511.04). Alpha female. Pushy, opinionated, stubborn, thick-headed. An extremely fast wolf, she lives up to name often, dashing from place to place. Littermate of Longtooth, Mooncrier and Thief. During the contest to succeed Wasp as the pack's alpha male, Whirl came under challenge by Starlight, and died of wounds sustained in the fight. |
