Competitive, used to giving orders and having them followed; often brusque and critical. Sees himself as a leader and a protector; but his paternalism is not always welcomed by his tribesmates. Considering his long years and experience, as well as his sharp intellect, his opinions are usually right on the money; however, he also harbors a strong sense of superiority, and can often rub his tribemates wrong for acting like an expert on all subjects, and for seeming like a know-it-all. Has an uneasy relationship with his son the chief -- they don't "get" each other and almost invariably misread each other. Played by Holly H. (Bio picture by Holly H.)

He is relatively laid-back and easy-going, though he does have a somewhat overprotective streak when it comes to his own family. Easygoing as he is, he's also a bit of a 'nutty professor' type in that he'll invent things for the sake of invention and not because the devices are in any way useful, and his mind is almost always working out some mechanical principle or other. He's an inventor, a thinker, a knapper, a thatcher, and, above all, a dedicated father, lifemate, and tribesmate to all. Wolf-friend Icemane. Played by Sarah Cl. (Bio picture by Holly H.)

Chief of the tribe, Windburn is strong-willed, able-bodied, and can be hard-headed and stubborn. Dislikes allowing anyone to loaf. Windburn comes to decisions quickly and sticks by them once made; a firm disciplinarian. Is able to think through problems, but doesn't want to hear too many opposing opinions except by very trusted friends and advisors. Is not comfortable around cubs, and firmly believes that it is not his job to oversee the raising of any, including his own. His job is as leader and that's it! Brave, and very capable, if a little hard to swallow for the more 'easy going' and 'laid back' elements in the tribe. This does not mean that he is completely unapproachable; rather that he is on the stubborn side and very hardheaded. He is able to see other points of view, but often times has to be very convinced before he'll believe that something that he has decided may not be the best way to go about something. Wolf-friend Whirl (alpha female of the pack). Non-adoptable NPC (Bio picture by Holly H.)
