Cinder (known as 53f by biologists) is a she wolf and is the current heiress to the Dawn Pack. She took on her role of breeding female after her mother, Lily III was killed by Crevice Lake Wolves. She is a playful and friendly wolf who loves pups and hopes all of them make it. When her sister, Wren III got deathly ill as a pup, she was very worried. But her sister made it! This made her very relieved. When Cinder's mother, Lily III was killed by Crevice Lake wolves and Pine came back to tell the story, she didn't believe that her mother was killed by wolves. This is because Cinder thought all wolves were nice and marking territory was simply a wolf's game of capture the flag. She always thought her mother was killed by a grizzly bear, because she thought that bears were monsters! When she became a two year old wolf, Cinder left her pack, temporarily to find a mate. She found Thorn 33m, a very bold wolf and a indirect descendent of her grandfather's first mate, Rose. A bear came to a carcass that Cinder and Thorn were eating and both terrified, they ran away. They hunted a mule deer doe together and became mates. And Thorn started a hunt (on a mule deer fawn) without Cinder and she ran after him. They then travelled along a creek to get to Slough Creek and they came across a beautiful waterfall and an old hiking boot which Cinder playfully carried. When they got to Slough Creek, Cinder told Thorn that she was pregnant, hunted a cow elk and started marking territory.

## Description

Cinder is a black she wolf (inherited from her mother, Lily III) with a gray face. Her underbelly and legs are lighter in color. Her snout is chocolate brown in color. Her eyes are deep gold, which is also inherited from her mother. However her fur is tinted with red, which is inherited from her father, Pine.

## Personality

Cinder is a very playful she wolf who loves pups above everything else. She loves playing with them and hates if anything bad happen to them. She loves marking territory, although she doesn't realize the seriousness in them and thinks it like a game of capture the flag. She gets really confused when other wolves are aggressive to her, as she thought all wolves were nice. When the Crevice Lake attacked her and her mate, Thorn to end Lily III's bloodline, she filled with the rage, as she doesn't know why they were so aggressive! She then accidently killed one of the Crevice Lake wolves and they fled after seeing that one of their packmates had died. This lead her feeling very guilty, but her mate, Thorn, comforted her about it. She recovered from her guiltiness and became enemies with the Crevice Lake wolves. She also hates bears because she believed that her mother, Lily III was killed by one.

## History

Cinder was born to Lily III and Pine, along with Zeus, Ruby, Wren III and Pluto II, As a pup, she was very playful, often playing with her siblings. When Wren III and Pluto II got sick, she was deathly worried about them, but luckily they recovered. Cinder journeyed to the Summer Hunting Grounds with her parents and her siblings. One day, when her mother, Lily III went missing, she was so worried that she was sobbing to herself. Her father, Pine went to find her, only to see him running back looking horrified. Pine then told her and her siblings that her mother was killed by Crevice Lake wolves. She didn't believe him at first, hoping that her mother will back. But a couple days later, with her siblings and father deeply mourning her loss, Cinder made up a story to believe, that she was killed by a grizzly bear, saying they are monsters and made her have a hatred for bears since a very young age.

Cinder found two herds of elk close together, which is a surprise for her! She scattered one of the herds. She's also already managed to kill one weakened cow elk, without gaining an injury! She managed to get a lot of bites in because the cow elk tumbled once because she was so weak. Cinder started marking playfully in the Wapiti Pack territory. When the Wapiti Pack’s scent mark was gone, she went to sleep in her newly claimed territory. Cinder then woke up to the sounds of growling. Three Wapiti Pack wolves were chasing after her! She jolted up and tried to fight the wolves to win the ‘game’, but she got really hurt and was very surprised that the three wolves were being very aggressive about it! One of the wolves yanked her hind leg and injured it! She dashed away, only to find out that she was heading the wrong direction! Luckily though, only one wolf was chasing her now and she ran in the right direction, out of their territory. She was disappointed that she lost and was so confused as to why the Wapiti wolves were acting so aggressively about a game!

Cinder walked through the valley and found a place to sleep, to heal her injured leg. But unfortunately when Cinder woke up, her leg hadn't healed yet and she was getting hungry. Cinder didn’t want to go back to the carcass in Wapiti Pack territory because it was where those aggressive wolves were. Instead, she searched for a carcass. Since the wind direction was not in her favor, Cinder had to resort to hoping that she stumbled upon a herd. Cinder got lucky and she ran into an elk herd. She ran around in circles to scare the herd and she then chased down a weakened cow elk. However, the cow elk kicked Cinder in the face with her strong hooves and broke her jaw. The cow elk also hurt Cinder really badly, but she managed to take her down and she struggled to eat the carcass with her jaw hurting so much! She completed her first quest!

Cinder went to sleep and woke up to the sound of wolves. But these wolves weren’t aggressive. There were two male Rosebud Pack wolves looking at Cinder. One of them was brown, had a radio collar and had a scar on his face. He was also a four star match, but since Cinder’s mother, Lily III’s mate, Cloud didn’t complete his Mate Quest, she was unable to choose that male. The second male (Rosebud 33m) was a grey wolf with a white belly, legs and muzzle. His tail was tipped with dark grey. Since this male was a three star match, Cinder could choose him. He told Cinder that his name was Thorn and was an indirect descendant of a female wolf called Rose. Cinder asked Thorn who Rose was and he said that she was a wolf who was the mate of Altair many months ago. He said she joined the Dawn Pack and she died defending her pups from a grizzly bear. Cinder let out an exclamation and said excitedly that Altair was her grandfather and she was part of the Dawn Pack. Thorn raised his eyebrows and asked Cinder why she didn’t know Rose. Cinder simply replied that Rose wasn’t her grandmother and said her grandmother was Hope.

Thorn said that he was hungry and Cinder led him to her most recent kill. Thorn finished eating quickly but it took much longer for Cinder to finish eating with such a sore jaw. Thorn asked Cinder why she ate so slowly and she said it’s because of her broken jaw. Rose and Thorn then slept next to the carcass. When they woke up, Cinder stared in horror, because a grizzly bear boar was heading towards them, to the carcass! They both bolted away from the grizzly bear, because Cinder thought a grizzly bear killed her mother! Cinder headed to her oldest carcass (which was in Wapiti Pack territory) with her potential mate and they ate together. Cinder and Thorn then headed out of the pack’s territory and found a nice place to communicate together. Thorn nagged Cinder to hunt something to show her hunting skills and Cinder reminded him that she had a broken jaw. After a sleep. Cinder and Thorn found a small herd of mule deer does. They hunted one and ate together. Thorn then asked Cinder to be his mate and Cinder accepted! After waking up from a sleep, Thorn bolted away from Cinder without warning and Cinder saw that he was chasing after a mule deer fawn without telling her! Cinder ran and caught up with him, killing the mule deer fawn! Cinder was impressed on how such a good hunter Thorn was! Thorn told Cinder that his father was a very great hunter and he taught him everything he knows. Cinder said that she loved him!

Cinder and her mate Thorn traveled along a creek to get to Slough Creek and they came across a beautiful waterfall and an old hiking boot which Cinder playfully carried along. She got a bruised jaw after she hunted a mule deer with Thorn. When they got to Slough Creek, Cinder told Thorn that she was pregnant, hunted a cow elk and started marking territory. Cinder loved marking territory since she thinks it's a capturing the flag game. Then, when Cinder slept that night, she got her first dream from Star Pack. A beautiful white and black flecked he wolf called Mouse (son of Cinder’s grandfather, Altair and his mate, Hope) approached Cinder. Mouse said that he died at age 9 because he was killed by a fatal kick of a spike elk. He gave Cinder the mission to kill two spike elks.

When Cinder woke up, she continued marking for a bit with Thorn and they spotted an elk herd next to Aspen Heights. Cinder told Thorn about her dream and they started to hunt and chase down a spike elk to please Mouse and the rest of her ancestors. She was very successful and was not very injured from that hunt at all! She had one more spike elk to hunt to complete the mission. Cinder continued playfully marking territory in Slough Creek with Thorn. After a sleep, they continued marking more. They slept after marking territory in Crevice Lake Pack’s territory.

When Cinder woke up, they were ambushed by three Crevice Lake wolves. They were furious that the Dawn Moon Pack came into their territory again after one of them killed Lily III (who was also trying to take over Crevice Lake territory.) They spat at Cinder that they already killed one of the Dawn Pack wolves (without revealing that they killed her mother) and that they will kill any Dawn Pack wolves invading their zone. Cinder’s rage was building up inside of her! This was supposed to be a friendly capture the flag game, not a battle to the death! She and Cinder fought the three wolves. Cinder and Thorn both got very injured (around 25%) health and they both got broken legs from the Crevice Lake wolves yanking at them, as a strategy to slow Cinder and Thorn down. Filled with outrage, Cinder accidentally sank her teeth down into a black he wolf’s neck ( a Crevice Lake wolf with a radio collar.) The he wolf went limp under Cinder’s jaws. Seeing that one of the members of their pack was killed by Cinder, the other two Crevice Lake wolves fled. It took a moment for Cinder’s fury to fade and for her to realize that she had killed another wolf. Shock went through her body as she released the dead wolf from her fangs and she started to cry and started yelling out that she was a monster. However, Thorn comforted her by telling her that it was an accident and if she didn’t kill the Crevice Lake wolf, they would’ve killed them both since they would battle until both of the Dawn Pack’s wolves were dead. Thorn honored Cinder’s strength. Cinder then said that most wolves are nice and only capture territory because they are playing a game, but the Crevice Lake Pack were savages. Cinder admitted the Wapiti wolves were unfriendly too, as they chased her out of their territory back at Amethyst Mountain, but she supposed that some wolves are a bit aggressive with playing the capture the flag game, because it was their instincts.

Cinder and Thorn finished marking territory, often coming back to their spike elk kill to eat so that they can heal their broken legs. Cinder and Thorn chose their den and had their birthday. Cinder turned 3 and Thorn turned 4!
