Sage

Sage is a she-wolf and the Healer of DawnPack. Her mate is Grey, and they have two pups, Onyx and Fox, as well as a second litter with Pebble.

## Appearances

### Cliff of Shadows

Sage stands against Luna when the Lone Wolf first enters the pack. She argues with Ice over letting Luna in, almost challenging the Alpha before she backs down. Furious, she follows Grey back into her den. When Luna learns that the other Apprentices are training, she is sad that she cannot interact with them, but Blaze points out how they might mock her like Sage.

Sage accuses Luna of sabotaging the river and causing the drought. This splits the pack between supporting Luna and opposing Luna, but the fighting is stopped by Ice. Sage prepares a rant before being silenced and allowing Luna to explain what she knows. After Willow leaves to get help, Luna hopes Sage will arrive soon and not be stubborn in helping Pebble. Together, Sage and Luna haul Pebble to the Healer's Den.

Luna fears how Sage might react after the former Lone Wolf mistakenly strikes Blaze's throat. Blaze has Luna stay behind while she goes to get medical help. Once Sage sees the wound, she screams, hurling insults and assumptions at Luna, who is there to listen. Her insults gets Luna angry, but she doesn't do anything.

When going to check on Blaze, Luna is forced out of the den by Sage. However, when the Healer leaves, Luna enters anyways. On the way to the meeting, Grey and Sage carry one pup each. Grey later informs Ice that he cannot go, as only Sage would be able to watch the pups. Before Luna returns to her den, Ice reminds her to visit Sage for a checkup in the morning.

Sage is outraged by Grey giving his position away, but he reasons her to a calm state. Then, Sage gives Luna a medical look-over, and deduces that she has a sore throat. With this knowledge, she goes to the back of her den and grabs some honey, though she adds in deadly nightshade, hoping it would kill her patient. Ice sees through her trick and threatens to demote Sage if she does something this dangerous again, to which Sage hesitantly agrees. The next honeycomb is brought and swallowed before Luna is discharged. Later, Cypress is deciding if she, River, and Willow should go get Sage, as Luna had blacked out.

Sage starts an argument with Blaze, only to escalate it into a fight as she doesn't believe Luna was a good packmate, if a pack wolf at all. In the end, Sage defeats Blaze, and uses her challenge's wish to try and exile Luna. Ice rejects this, causing disbelief in the Healer. She sulks away, not bothering to use the wish. Luna tries to think like Sage to turn her hatred into force against Cobalt and Cinder. Sage scowls at Luna as she arrives, disappointed that it isn't the hunting party.

### Hidden Trails

During the tour, Sage is mentioned by Luna, who can't bring herself to say the Healer helps wolves. Sage howls to get her pups' attention, and they come straight to her. Onyx causes Sage to be mentioned when she almost eats an herb she isn't supposed to. As Sandstorm is brought to DawnPack, Sage glares at Luna. Later, when he is being walked to Ice's den, Sage keeps her suspicion as she brings her pups inside their den.

After Sandstorm eats the moldy rabbit, Luna rushes to Sage and convinces the Healer to check on the pups. She is shocked by what happened, and lets the pups inside to treat them. Luna thinks of Sage as a suspect who could've put the rabbit in the prey pile, as she did poison her in the past, but Sage's response to the situation didn't seem like she did it. Sage is seen sharing half a boar with her mate and pups. Sage is chosen to stay behind to watch Sandstorm while the rest of DawnPack leaves for the gathering.
