Catalina

Catalina after just meeting Basil, episode 8 of Bountiful Wilds

## Biography

**Bold**
Catalina is Basil’s mate, and the mother of Rosetta, Argon, Badger and Mouse. She’s the sister of 2 unnamed female wolves. She saw Basil one night when he was roaming the Amethyst mountain forests, but they didn't interact. She reminded him of his mother Parsley, and he thought that maybe he'd find her later again and they would become mates. She did find him again, as he was meeting with some other females at the slopes of Amethyst Mountain she took charge and chased them off with her sisters as backup. Basil was impressed by her strength and courage, and after getting to know her they partnered up. Because of the darkness Basil didn't get a good look at her, but in the morning when he saw how beautiful she was he immediatly knew she was the one for him.

At Slough Creek they had their pups, and Catalina cared for them when Basil was out hunting and marking territory, but she was out marking by herself sometimes too. When Mouse was taken by an eagle after their den flooded, Catalina was heartbroken, but she saw her mate in a much worse state than herself, and tried to play with him and the remaining pups anyway. She too was shaken by Mouse’s death, and understood that the wild life isn’t easy, that she needed to protect her family with everything. Catalina’s mate quest was to live at 3 different rock dens, and they completed her quest. Her daughter Rosetta was chosen as heiress.

## Personality

Catalina is a brave wolf, she’s fearless and stands her ground no matter what. She was a big help for Basil both with his fear of other wolves when they met, and when his grief over Mouse took things too far. She loves looking at the night sky, mostly from mountains where she could see clearly. That’s why her mate quest was to live at 3 rock dens. Catalina could also be a bit reserved sometimes, and go on long marking patrols all by herself or like she used to do at their first den, sit on the mountaintop and gaze at the stars alone. That made her come off as quite mysterious sometimes. She was an independent wolf, and didn’t mind going out alone even if she loved spending time with Basil. She was very kind and caring towards her family, playing with the pups and Basil after Mouse was taken, swallowing her own grief just to keep their spirits strong and get the pack through the darker times.

## Appearance

Catalina has steel-gray fur who fades into very dark gray at her back, and white at her legs and paws. Her chest and face are shades of lighter gray, and the tip of her tail is white. Her whole body has a slight warm tint. She’s got a darker gray stripe down her nose, and her eyes are a lighter yellow shade of amber. Basil always thought she reminded him of his mother Parsley with her black and silver colour pattern blending into the night, although the two wolves look very different.

## Former pack

Catalina came from the Quadrant Pack, she was 13F. She and two of her sisters, 10F and 12F, travelled to Amethyst Mountain and met Basil, who she became mates with, joining the Dark Moon Pack. The Moon Pack and the Quadrant Pack have no earlier connections.
