## Characters

### Alayna

Alayna is Uionshu's friend. After her hunting group brings down an elk, she congratulates Uionshu, but Uionshu goes off on a startling, bizarre tirade. Alayna asks if Uionshu is okay and begins to mention how Uionshu ruined a hunt the day before before stopping herself from finishing her story. When Uionshu complains of being weighed down and sick, Alayna says that she also felt that way while pregnant. She asks her friend a few questions to determine why she'd been acting strange and tells Uionshu that she's pregnant. When she expesses doubt, Alayna reassures her that, as an experienced mother, she knows the subtle signs of pregnancy. She patiently waits for Uionshu to finish her rambling before saying that her pups will be the strongest in the pack. She takes a piece of flesh from the elk in celebration to Uionshu and her upcoming litter.

### Ethna

Ethna is a female hunter. Uionshu trips her on a hunt.

### Keeva

Fionn's daughter and a hunter, like him. Uionshu comments that she did well on a hunt and should live up to become a great hunter like her father.

### Cennetig

The oldest male hunter in the pack. Just before catching a bison, Uionshu crashes into him after abruptly loosing her balance, and their prey flees, causing the pack to go to bed hungry that night. Cennetig crowds into Aideen's den to see her new pups. In the aftermath of an attack on camp, Garvan suggests he wake up Cennetig to take watch, but Vivlin declines the offer.

### Gillian

A female pup who scratches Uionshu; Uionshu complains to Alayna that Gillian still has Uionshu's fur in her claws.

### Eaden

The wise and respected pack healer. Morkef senses a thunderstorm and recalls that Eaden reads the lightning and can fortell the future. He notices Eaden approaching and informs her about the storm. Morkef asks her to read his fortune, and Eaden stiffens. She leans over to him and tells him not to talk lightly about sacred things. Plus, Morkef wouldn't be invited because he is a pup. Later, she talks to Morkef and his siblings about other animals in the forest, which fascinates Yogna. Morkef asks her about Old Bheatha, and she vehemently denies her existance. When she sees that she'd scared Morkef, Eaden consoles him and reminds him that tales such as that are untrue. She then retells how a thousand years ago, they lived in the desret. When Morkef and Torin go hunting, she warns them about a storm. Later, she talks with a few of her packmates and frets about the storm before the two young wolves tear into camp, screaming about fire. After the fire, she goes missing. Eaden returns to the pack in the next planned book.

### Abban

"*I am so sorry... I feel as if a part of me is missing, like a rabbit missing its quarter. It cannot move the same way it use to... I feel lost in a chasm of woe and confusion. If only things were the same, then all would be well...*"
―Abban *in the planned sequel to The Forest of Fire*, NA

### Finbar

The father to Eaden. He talks with Eaden right before the fire hits camp while most of his packmates are asleep. He laters dies of smoke inhalation in the aftermath of the fire. In the scenes, Finbar snarls at Morkef while he is being tried for murder.

### Garvan

Vivlin exits his den and Garvan and his son Orrin walk by his side. Garvan informs Vivlin that Orrin heard yapping close by. He notes that they were close to Aideen's den, but she wasn't in there. Then, he sees Aideen and softly greets her as she bounds away. He tells Vivlin who is awake, including who is going to sleep soon, and the alpha instructs him to send Alayna and a few others to sleep. Garvan respectfully follows orders. Afterwards, he stands guard in front of the elder's den and is reportedly the only wolf awake in camp. In a deleted scene, Keeva informs Morkef that he, along with several other wolves, have perished.
