Blaze

Blaze is a she-wolf of DawnPack. She is one of the few wolves who is nice to Luna when she joins, and defends her while almost everyone is hostile. Throughout Luna's Apprenticeship, she teaches the other wolf various skills and tricks to become a True Wolf. However, she is kidnapped by Whispering Pines after trying to figure out where Luna went, and is stuck there until the former Lone Wolf and Cypress find the other pack.

## Personality

She can be energetic, clever, and willing to do whatever she deems rights.

## Looks

Blaze is a tall, thin red wolf with a white muzzle and tan and red fur with black markings, and her eyes are brown.

## Appearances

### Cliff of Shadows

Blaze finds Luna when she is lost in the fog. She guides the Lone Wolf out, but Luna asks if she could join DawnPack. Blaze explains that Ice wouldn't allow her to join, making Luna visibly sad, but she doesn't insist. When Luna enters DawnPack with the rabbit, she stands up for her against her raging packmates, saying Luna could be put under a test to trust her worth. She is assigned shortly after as Luna's mentor, and brings her into the forest, saying she should practice her hunting.

Blaze teaches Luna some hunting moves before the two are found by River and Raven. After the encounter, she brings Luna back to DawnPack, where she is shown her den. Blaze wakes up Luna to set her up on a singular patrol around the borders. When Sage starts an argument, Blaze is quick to defend Luna. After the fight, she is approached by Luna, who talks about her suspicions about the river drying up.

Ice puts Blaze, Cypress, and Grey in a hunting party to fetch the deer carcass. Due to the incident involving Pebble, all mentors have to teach their Apprentices how to fight. A spirit wolf's presence results in Luna striking Blaze in the throat, forcing the training to end and for Blaze to get Sage's help. No matter what Blaze attempted to say, Sage ended up ranting on Lone Wolves.

Blaze is visited by Luna in the Healer's Den, and is offered a mouse. She refuses, not wanting to put Luna in any more trouble. Blaze suggests that Luna should hang out with the other Apprentices. When Luna is not picked to go upstream, Blaze initially reassures her, but leaves when Luna refuses her company. She is the only wolf staying in true silence while Willow explains what happened. Her question of what happened to Luna turns into a challenge between her and Sage. In the end, Sage wins, and almost banishes Luna, much to Blaze's horror.

The result leaves Blaze dissatisfied, and she leaves DawnPack to search for her Apprentice. Before jumping off the cliff and into the water, Luna thanks Blaze in her mind for giving Luna a chance. At the same time, Blaze is wandering through unfamiliar ground, hoping to find Luna. She eavesdrops a conversation between Cobalt and Cinder, narrowly avoiding the two rogues. Luna is given the unfortunate news of Blaze's disappearance after her return to DawnPack. Flint informs Boulder of Blaze's capture.

### Hidden Trails

Blaze is reflecting her life in the Whispering Pines pack before Pinecone informs her that she's been selected to go on a hunt. Along with Fire and Rose, they set off. However, Blaze tries to escape, managing to scratch a tree before being caught. Luna recalls her mentor while talking to Willow. Luna again mentions Blaze when thinking about her mysterious disappearance. Luna uses Blaze's red wolf heritage to defend bringing Sandstorm into DawnPack. Until Luna enters Whispering Pines, Blaze is only mentioned throughout the chapters in-between. At Whispering Pines, Luna learns that Blaze is nearby, and shortly after reunites with her mentor. They talk about what has happened, and Luna learns about Blaze's time and struggles. Blaze suggests that Luna familiarizes herself with Whispering Pines, where, at the end, she shows Luna towards Fern's den.

Luna recognizes Blaze in the crowd of Whispering Pines wolves. Once the fight breaks out, Blaze guesses Luna's idea to run. She is caught in a battle with Starlight. Moon learns that Blaze was left behind.
