Cypress

Cypress is a gray she-wolf with green eyes. She has a half-torn paw that is unusable. Her rank is True Wolf and she lives in DawnPack.

## Appearances

### Cliff of Shadows

Cypress lead the patrol Luna encountered while chasing a rabbit. She and the others growl at Luna, eventually driving her away. Later, when Luna asks where the other Apprentices are, she is mentioned to be training with Pebble. When Ice brings awareness to the drought, Cypress is seen asking the spirits what DawnPack did to anger them. She sides with Sage during another argument against Luna. After Pebble is severely injured, she is sent on the patrol to retrieve his, Luna's, and Willow's deer.

Ice picks Cypress as one of the wolves to go up the river. During the walk, Cypress makes comments attacking Luna, and snaps at her when the former Lone Wolf asks about it. She joins them at mealtime, glad for the food. Cypress and River whisper about Luna as she wakes up from her discussion with the spirit wolves.

Cypress expresses her hunger with the rest of the group, but closes her mouth as River snaps. Then, as River holds a vote for who should lead, Cypress joins River's side, stating that she doesn't trust Lone Wolves. To break the stalemate, she hesitantly moves to Luna's side. As they go up the river, Willow finds the smell of wolf, and Cypress confirms it. She doubts Luna's theory that a wolf rolled the boulders in the river. While the other wolves move the boulders, Cypress waits by the side since she can't use her bad paw.

Luna suggests they get more wolves, but Cypress doesn't think it'll work, as Apprentices are too weak and the only MistPack wolf gave up. She follows the wolves to MistPack since she has no choice. Cypress remains silent when Midnight beckons them over, so Luna has to explain their situation. During the conversation, Cypress left without an explanation. When Luna finally returns, Cypress is less than amused, as she hoped the hunting party had returned.

### Hidden Trails

Cypress is mentioned by Luna to often be paired on hunts with Grey. Cypress departs from Moon's speech. She is seen talking with Pebble about Ice's disappearance, but when Luna tries to answer, Cypress snaps and sulks away, confusing both wolves. Luna approaches her, hoping to figure out what is going on, but Cypress refuses to answer. As Luna discovers Sandstorm, Cypress thinks it's Fox, but changes her opinion when she sees the coyote pup. Though against it, she is convinced to let Sandstorm into DawnPack. Luna suspects Cypress as the wolf who poisoned the prey pile, but doesn't think it's true.

Luna and Cypress argue due to the latter wanting to know what the former was going to tell Ice. After Luna gives her discussion, Cypress tells Ice about the lack of prey-share, and the Alpha goes to set it up. Later, Cypress and Pebble share their own suspicions.
