Shadows of a Star

### RELATIVES

Wave of the Storming Sea (Husband), Snow of the Mountain (Son), and Moon of the Day (Daughter).

## INTRODUCTION

The mother of two cubs, 8-years-old, that disappeared while she was hunting. Her husband (a brown and white fur Tabaxi named Wave of the Storming Sea) went looking for them as soon as they were gone but could only go so far with his crippled leg. She had heard of the stories of the evil, kidnapping, Krumpus but always thought of them as stories. There is no other reason for them to disappear without a trace. As soon as she heard of the quest to stop him she came out of retirement and set out for Valor.

## CHARACTER INFORMATION

Shadow will do anything to get her cubs back and won't think about her actions right way. She will run towards them to help them. She will never harm them except a spanking with no claws. Her love for her cubs shows towards other children as well as she tries to protect them and entertains them with her stories.

Her heart aches from hearing more children keep disappearing. She wishes for her children to be safe as well for Krumpus to die, to become good, or be sealed away forever. She is aware that it will most likely not become good.
