## About Stardancer

Stardancer is the founder of the Starry Skies Pack. She was born into the Moon Pack and her mate, Geo, was from the Stormy Skies Pack. She is the daughter of Moondancer and Nix and younger sister of Blaze, Comet II, Ember, Stella, Altair, Dipper, Selena, and Moonlight, also littermate to Astrid, Andromeda and Lunala. She's the mother of Draco, Mira, Quartz, Thyme, Basil, Kuma, Leonis, Diamond, Timber, Coal, Aura, and Rosemary. Stardancer was born alongside Lunala, the previous Moon Pack heir rather than a pup of Lunala's as many believe her to be. Stardancer's companion wolf is Wisp and Stardancer raised Wisp's pups with her.

## Appearance

Stardancer is a small dark gray wolf with a darker spot on her back and a black tipped tail. She was given a radio collar after being treated by humans for a car crash injury. She is incredibly fast but lacks strength making her smaller. In A wolf returns to the forest Seri describes her as " light as a star."

## Personality

Stardancer was an older wolf to start a pack. This is because when she was younger, she was injured in a coyote trap and captured by humans. This sprouted her fear of humans, which is why she panics and runs away when she hears a plane. She tends to have a lighthearted personality, being much like famous wolf Sol.

## Stardancer's Challenges/Prophecies

### Summer Blossoms Litter

Stardancer's wolf pups tumbled into a patch of poisonous plants right before they were ready to leave for the summer hunting grounds. Each pup had to be picked up and carried to a patch of water to be washed before they are able to collectively leave for the summer hunting grounds.

## Stardancer's Litters

### Stardancer's First Litter

Stardancer and Geo's first litter was had at the Saddle Meadows Den. Their litter was named “Summer Blossoms” and was born year one of the Summer of the Wolves era.

**Thyme** (♀) - A thinner young gray-colored wolf who seems to prefer playing in the grass at the edge of the den-site. Ignores most of her family for watching birds and butterflies, both of which she seems very eager to hunt.

**Mira** (♀) - A playful, loving, gray-colored female who is the only one to listen to both her parents and respond to Star Dancer’s response to play. She is the one who enjoys hearing all the stories about her past ancestors, not just the fiercest battles.

Mira became the focus of the adventures the viewers voted on and has gained a special boost as a result. She listened carefully to her parents as they told her all the stories of her ancestors, both as part of the Moon Pack and the Stormy Skies Pack and learned much from their tales. Her knowledge of the ways of her ancestors means she has an easier time of life than her siblings who did not listen as well so any litter she has will automatically be allowed to drop one level in difficulty (if she rolls Bring It On! she has the difficulty changed to Arduous, for example) and she gains one extra ancestor blessing any time she has her litter at the Saddle Meadows Den.

***Draco*** (♂) - A chunky, strong-boned young gray-colored wolf who seems to enjoy eating most out of his siblings. Spends most of his free-time nibbling on the bones from the kills his parents bring back. He enjoys listening to stories about Moon Dancer the best, especially about all the times she and Nix killed herds of elk to survive off of during the winter.

Draco died during the Challenge of the Summer Blossoms, when he had to be taken down from the den to a pond to have a toxic plant washed off his fur. Unfortunately Star Dancer became trapped by an aggressive elk in the pond and dropped Draco, who drowned as a result. He is the first wolf pup to die by elk of any pack.

**Quartz** (♀) - A rough young brown with dark brown undercoat and streaks female who had been tackling her siblings and biting their ears harder than she should for quite a while. She has nipped Geo a time or two as well but it seems to be mostly out of her sense of urgency to learn how to hunt than anything. Adores listening to stories of the ancestors but only the vicious battles. She becomes very dreamy-eyed when listening about the stories of the Cursed Bear.

### Stardancer's Second Litter

Stardancer and Geo's second litter was had at the Saddle Meadows Den. That spring they were under constant attack from bears, even losing their pup Diamond to a bear.

***Diamond***(♀) - A serious young pup with gray fur streaked with white. The only girl in her litter of all brothers she took herself very seriously but had moments of wistful day-dreaming.

Diamond's death was a result of a vote the viewers took part in, allowing her out of the den at night to admire the stars. Unfortunately she was taken by a cursed bear who was roaming the forest that night.

**Kuma** (♂) - A strong-boned young wolf pup with dark brown fur, especially along his face and paws. He is the most obedient of his siblings but also the loudest. He often tries to help but trips over his own paws and tends to get in the way instead.

***Basil*** (♂) - A young wolf pup with light brown fur that has dark brown streaks in it. He is well-mannered enough but a bit hot-headed and often gets in fights with his brothers. He prefers being the leader in situations, even if he doesn’t have the experience to back up his demands just yet.

In the end Basil died in the most unexpected way possible - he was struck by lightning by the Ancestors themselves, by accident, as they attempted to strike at an eagle that was threatening the pups. His untimely death produced a period of mourning among the Starry Skies Pack that became known as “The Sorrow of the Storm” when the Stormy Skies Ancestors were in mourning for their mistake, leaving Stardancer and Geo to rely on the ancestors of the Moon Pack.

**Leonis** (♂) - A chunky young wolf pup with a brown-and-red coat and two very large ears. He often argues with Basil and spends a lot of time tackling his siblings and biting on their tails. He is also the biggest eater out of all the wolf pups and has the stomach to prove it.

### Stardancer's Third Litter

At the time when Stardancer had her third litter, Wisp, the Starry Skies Pack's companion wolf, fell ill.

**Aura**(♀) - A quiet, gentle wolf pup with a light gray coat who is very sensitive to the emotions of the others in the pack. Although the youngest she is very nurturing and cares about making sure the others are cared for. She gets along wonderfully with her brother Timber.

**Rosemary** (♀) - A young white wolf up who has an extremely rebellious attitude and is often running off from the pack and fighting with Star Dancer and Geo. She does not seem to like Wisp at all and resents having the same color coat as Wisp does.

**Timber** (♂) - A thoughtful wolf pup with black fur streaked with shades of gray and white. He is extremely observant and has a stubborn, determined personality even at a young age. He only seems to use his stubbornness to do his best for the pack, however, and is very obedient. He believes pack life is the best way to live.

**Coal** (♂) - A young wolf pup with a lanky build and brown fur. He seems very well-natured and likes improving his strength. A very quiet personality not out of shyness but simply lack of things to say. He tends to appreciate the moment.

## Stardancer in Wildcraft

Stardancer was reborn as a lynx and the mate to Frost in Wildcraft.

## Trivia

* She is sometimes mistaken for one of Lunala's pups, yet she was actually one of Lunala's many, many siblings. This means that she was very lucky to have three litters, as she was older when she started having pups than most wolves.
* Moondancer's sister was named StarLIGHT, not StarDANCER, but the two wolves are often confused, meaning that some people said that Stardancer originally died. This is not true; the wolf that died was StarLIGHT.
* Basil's death was not actually caused by the ancestors' lightning (though if it was, it would be Atlas's fault), but rather an eagle glitch. However this was passed off as poorly aimed lightning.
* Stardancer was the first heir to have a companion wolf, though it was originally a mistake. Wisp was listed as an option when viewers voted on which Stormy Skies Pack wolf should become Stardancer's mate when Seri mistook Wisp for a male rather than a female. Wisp won the vote and Seri, now aware of Wisp's true gender, offered the compromise of making Wisp Stardancer's companion. Geo, who was second most popular, became Stardancer's mate instead.
