Studies-The-Moon

**Studies-The-Moon** is a Silver Fang.

## Biography

Even as a cub you were different. Your litter mates wanted to play fight with you, but all you wanted to do wasa stare at the moon and sniff around in strange places. As the moon changed her face, you could feel your moods changing.

When her face was full, you were angry, fighting with the other cubs and running with the pack as it hunted down its prey.

When she hid her face, you became playful.

Your littermates found this behavior puzzling and disturbing and started to shun you. When you went to the older wolves for comfort, they weren't interested either, nipping at you until you went away. For long months you hung around the edge of the pack, getting what food you could and taking solace from the sweet face of the moon hanging in the sky. Things slowly got worse over the following months, though, and you were all but driven from the pack.

One afternoon, when the moon was still hidden and the sun beat down, you heard the pack's hunters howling in pain and anger. A group of human hunters had found them and was picking them off one by one. You felt the anger surge in you, like it did when the moon's face was full and you exploded into frantic combat. When you'd done with the hunters, some of the pack had fled in fear, others were busy urinating in submission and the hunters were all dead. A few days later, your father and his friends came for you.

On that terrible day when you'd discovered your true nature, even as your body exploded into its First Change, you started to understand why the moon had affected you so. You only gained complete understanding some months later when and your newfound Silver Fang littermates of newly changed cubs were taught of the Moon Lodge of the tribe. While most of the werewolves were struggling with the idea of finding their role in society defined by their birth --- homids can be so blind sometimes--- you were delighted in the idea that Mother Luna was calling you to change your behavior to match her moods, just as you'd always done.

You're a wolf with a love for the moon and a natural affinity with her phases that most homids find alien. You have a knack for dealing with Lunes and have caught the eye of members of the Moon Lodge.

While you're a straightforward and direct character by nature, Luna takes her toll on you as she changes her face. You can be playful, otherworldly, calm, talkative and aggressive as the month goes by. You're constantly seeking to remind your packmates of the role Luna and other spirits play in their lives and encourage them to follow your example. You deal with Lunes and other spirits associated with Luna whenever you can, seeking to glean new insights into her ways.
