Becca

**Becca** is an ewe of the Sheep Tribe from Sheepstown.

## Little Wolf Lost

While the rams of the village were away, they were attacked by *The Black Raccoon* pirates and their town was accidentally burned. Becca with an elderly Ram (perhaps Shaun) became a de facto leader of the ewes who went to the Wild Lands. In the night they found Rif the Fox and Sandy having a camp. Rif suggested to them to find the Wildcat Village and seek help from Chieftess Prrowa.

## A Loose End

Shaun asked whether they should take the Fox with them, but Becca thought he walks a different path. After some time they were stopped by a Wildcat Sentry who declared them "prisoners", and she asked an audience with Prrowa. Shaun and the ewes thought that Becca should act as their chief and talk with her. Inside Prrowa's tent, Becca mentioned a young Fox when they were interrupted by Mirrhp; she was confused when Becca called her "lassie", and Becca explained it means a young female. Seeing the two Wildcats mention something lost, she interrupted to make sure they were talking about the same thing; it turned out it was Mirrhp's fishing gloves. After Mirrhp left, Prrowa guessed the Fox should be Rif, and Becca was amazed to hear that the Chieftess owes him a life debt. She told her story and Prrowa had a proposal to make: pass through a cave to Dog Tribe territory and then the Sanctuary of the Orb. Becca then related it to the other Sheep so that they reached a consensous. 3 Wildcat sentries guided them in the wild and after some hours they stopped to rest. They put on blindfolds to pass the Wildcats secret territory and they reached the cave. The sentries then took small groups through the tunnels. Becca asked Shaun to lead the first group. Becca was with the last group. At the south end, they passed through Dogs's territory sneaking past guards, and reached the Known Lands.

By the next day they reached the Sanctuary and the Hares brought food and drink. Becca asked to talk with Elara and ask her guidance. As no village could ever support so many new residents, Elara suggested they should go to the Boar King Broug.

A Hare guided them to the Boar Castle, and in order to gain entry, Becca suggested to the guards that she was to bargain something and Broug granted an audience for her. Familiar with the Boards, she entered the mud bath before being told by his official. Becca asked from the King a quick solution for her tribe who wished for a settlement in the Known Lands, and proposed to settle the abandoned Boar fishing village, the story of which she heard from Elara, and pay some tax/rent a certain part of their catch. Becca however could not answer when Broug demanded from the villagers to pledge fealty to him, mentioning an old precendent between the Rats and the Forest King. He insisted to knowing what really happened, and hearing that Sheepstown was destroyed, he agreed to give the village without fealty.

When Shaun found the way to the Boar village, he was so impressed at Becca's accomplished, he insisted to promote her to Chieftess, even as "assistant". Since then she used to hug people a lot.

Some time later she went to the Ferret Village with Kenum and entered the hardware store where she saw Rif. Hearing her story, he realised she has leadership thrust on her. He was surprised to hear that Prrowa still owes him a life debt. She went on to narrate how Broug gave them the abandoned fishing village. Rif invited her for dinner to meet Rhene, but Becca needed to leave with Kenum. Before parting she hugged Rif.
