## **History**

### **Drifting Storm**

Blue tries to catch a rabbit, but Pine accidentally scares it off. A few days later, loners attack Dark Clouds, but the pack drives them away.

Blue is hunting in the forest a couple days later. She catches a squirrel, but a loner steals it. She chases the loner and pins him down. They argue about the prey, but then the loner surrenders, giving the squirrel back. Blue feels bad for him, seeing how scrawny he is, so she gives him the squirrel instead. He thanks her and introduces himself as Saturn.

The loners attack Dark Clouds again after a few days, but this time, Saturn is not with them. Blue's flank gets injured, and despite her pleas, Silver doesn't allow her to hunt.

After she is better, he finally allows her in the forest. She catches a fish, but a coyote takes it. Blue gets into a physical fight with the coyote who ends up purposely reopening the wound on her flank before running off with the fish. Caterpillar and Vivid find Blue laying on the ground, bleeding, and they bring her back to camp. Oak treats Blue's wounds back at camp, but she's annoyed, knowing that Silver won't let her hunt for a while.

A few days later, when Silver allows her to hunt, Blue runs into Saturn again. She pins him down, telling him that she isn't giving him anymore prey, but Saturn says that he doesn't want prey and that he wants to join Dark Clouds. Blue reluctantly leads him to camp where Silver allows him to join.

When Moon, Caterpillar, Saturn, and Rose are attacked by a pack of coyotes, Blue suggests that the alpha, Puddle, might be the same coyote who stole the fish and attacked Blue.

Blue goes hunting with Pine and Cod the next day, but they end up arguing about splitting up or not. Pine angrily declares that she'll hunt by herself while Blue and Cod hunt together. Blue thinks that Pine's behavior is odd, since the beta has never had a temper before.

Cod ends up catching a rabbit, but it gets stolen while him and Blue were distracted. After sniffing, they realize that the coyote pack stole the rabbit, and so they both follow the scent to find the coyote camp. While following the scent, however, Cod bumps into Pine who ends up following them to the coyote pack's camp where they are confronted by Stardust, the beta.

Stardust leads the three wolves to the alpha of the coyote pack, who, sure enough, is the same coyote that attacked Blue. Pine and Blue make fun of Puddle, which makes him angry, and he ends up harshly clawing Pine's face.

Blue, Pine, and Cod all run away as fast as they could while the coyotes chase after them. One of the coyotes grabs Cod by the leg, and Blue stops running to help Cod while Pine hurries back to camp to get the others. Blue claws the coyote's neck, causing it to release Cod, who remains on the ground, his leg bleeding. She continues to fight the coyotes, but is outnumbered. Suddenly, Silver comes in and saves Blue, the rest of the pack with him. The coyote pack retreats, seeing that all of Dark Clouds is here.

Five days later, Blue shares a bird with Silver, while Pine watches them enviously before walking away.

The next day, while Blue and Pine are in the forest, Blue notices that Pine is being oddly quiet. She begs Pine to tell her what's wrong, and so Pine angrily admits that she's jealous because Silver is in love with Blue and not her. Blue doesn't know what to say, and before she knows it, Pine is gone. Later, Blue returns to camp, and Silver asks where Pine is. Just as Blue is about to panic, Pine walks into camp, carrying three mice. Blue goes to Pine and tries to apologize, saying that she wasn't trying to take Silver away, but Pine ignores her and leaves.

That night, Blue is asleep in the hunter's den when she is suddenly woken up by Pine. Blue asks what's wrong, and Pine replies by saying that there are coyotes on the borders. Blue and Pine run into the forest, but Blue doesn't see any coyotes. Suddenly, she is attacked by coyotes, and she realizes that Pine planned this. She begs Pine to help her, but the she-wolf simply watches, an evil smile on her face. Blue is dragged away and then thrown into the coyote's camp. The coyotes make her a prisoner and put her in a rocky and damp den. Blue is miserable, but she manages to fall asleep.

The next morning, Blue is awoken as something pokes her ribs. She realizes that it's a coyote pup. The pup introduces herself as Collie, and the two talk for a little while, before Collie's parents come and scold her for talking to a prisoner. They make Collie leave, but later that night, the coyote pup returns to Blue and says that she still likes her. Blue is happy about this, since it means that she has a friend in the coyote pack.

In the morning, Blue wakes up, but she doesn't see any coyotes. She walks out of the prison den and meets an old coyote named Fogstone, who tells her that all the other coyotes left to go fight Dark Clouds, but the coyote pups are hidden somewhere safe. Blue thanks him for telling her, and then she runs away to help Dark Clouds.

When Blue arrives at camp, she sees the wolves and coyotes fighting viciously. She looks around and sees Silver getting outnumbered by two coyotes. She helps him fight off the coyotes before confronting Pine. She knocks Pine down and pummels her cheek before throwing her. Blue fights several more coyotes, but then Puddle climbs onto the Gathering Hill. He demands for Dark Clouds to give their camp to the coyotes, but the wolves refuse. Just as Puddle is about to make the coyotes kill all the wolves, Collie climbs onto the Gathering Hill and tries to convince everyone to stop fighting. Hickory and Blaze join their daughter, and even Fogstone stumbles up with them. Then, surprisingly, Stardust joins them as well. Puddle is quiet for a moment, but then he announces that the wolves have won. Everyone cheers, and then Silver suggests that the coyotes all join Dark Clouds. Puddle gratefully agrees, and the coyotes join Dark Clouds.

When Silver asks Blue about how she was taken by the coyotes, Blue decides to lie and say that she and Pine were both attacked by the coyotes. Pine realizes that Blue lied to keep her safe, and she apologizes for betraying her, but Blue doesn't accept her apology and walks away, leaving the beta heartbroken.

More coming soon...

## **Detailed Appearance**

Blue is a muscular dark gray she-wolf with a medium lengthed coat. Her left ear is split at the top, and her right flank is scarred. Her eyes are a mix between sky and midnight blue.

## **Personality**

Blue is a loyal wolf who would do anything for her pack. Although, she has been shown to have a temper, and she also holds grudges.

## **Relationships**

### **Pine**

Pine was Blue's former best friend. They were very close, but when Silver began showing affection for Blue, Pine became jealous. She made a deal with the Coyote Pack for them to take Blue away and make her into a prisoner. When Blue escaped, she confronted Pine, but did not expose her ex-friend's scheme. Pine apologized for what she had done, but Blue rejected her apology. When traps began taking over the forest, Blue and Puddle accused Pine of being the Trap Maker, causing her to run away. Pine returned after a year of missing, and ended up sacrificing herself for Blue when Rodent tried to kill the beta. Before Pine died, Blue forgave her for making Blue a prisoner.

### **Silver**

Blue and Silver were good friends. Silver had a crush on Blue, and was upset when she became mates with Puddle instead. For a while, he remained angry at Blue, but after Rain, Mud, and Thunder were born, he apologized, and the two went back to being friends. Silver even made Blue the beta after Pine - the former beta - ran away. The two remained good friends, and despite the argument they had before Silver died, Blue still misses him and deeply regrets their fight, even blaming Solar for his death.

### **Puddle**

Puddle is Blue's mate. They first met when Puddle stole prey and badly injured Blue. Blue remained distrustful after Silver allowed the coyotes to join Dark Clouds. Even after Puddle showed that he wanted to redeem himself, Blue still strongly disliked him. It was only after Puddle risked his life for Blue during a bear attack that she began to trust him. They eventually became good friends, even working together to figure out who to Trap Maker was. After being friends for some time, Puddle asked Blue to be his mate, and she joyfully accepted. They later had three pups, Rain, Mud, and Thunder.

### **Saturn**

Blue and Saturn were very close friends. When Saturn stole Blue's squirrel, she felt bad for him, and let him keep it, causing him to later join Dark Clouds. Saturn's love for Blue grew, but he didn't admit that he had a crush on her. Saturn's life was short lived as he ended up being brutally killed by a bear. Blue was heartbroken at the death of her friend, and still misses him after years of him being dead.

### **Rain, Mud, and Thunder**

Rain, Mud, and Thunder are Blue's pups. She is protective over them, but only to an extent. She loves them very much, and is proud of how far they have come.

### **Collie**

Collie was Blue's trainee. When Blue was taken prisoner by the coyotes, Collie was the first coyote, other than Puddle and Stardust, who she met. She was also the only coyote who was immediately friendly with her. When the coyotes joined Dark Clouds, Collie was given to Blue as a trainee. They had a very good bond, and Blue was filled with pride when she became a hunter. Sadly, Collie fell into a trap only days after finishing her training, and she tragically died. Blue was devastated.

### **Solar**

Blue and Solar used to be good friends, especially since Solar was the one who saved Blue from a trap. When Solar joined Dark Clouds, Blue was accepting, despite him being a dog. When Blue found out that Solar was the Trap Maker, however, she became bitter around him and became dedicated to proving that he was the creator of the traps, which she was eventually able to succeed in doing. Even after Solar became good, Blue still was shown to dislike him a lot. After Blue became the alpha of Dark Clouds, she allowed her packmates to hurt Solar. It's also been shown that Blue blames him for the death of Silver. After years of bottled up anger and the death of Puddle, Blue ended up attacking Solar in front of the whole pack. Solar was injured badly from the attack, and Blue banished him from Dark Clouds. She seems to be very glad about this decision and even seemed a bit sadistic.
