## History

Yarik was born in the Northern pack's 1st pack, into the endangered U'maar family line. He was one of the last members born into this family. He was his parents only pup of the litter, but they tried to have more. Unfortunately, Yarik's mother died during her second pregnancy, as she was expecting more than one pup, which ended up being fatal. As time went by, other members of the U'maar started to pass away one by one, eventually leaving him as the last member left alive.

At the age of 3, Yarik was appointed by Ranua as the sápmi of the 1st pack, following in his mother's footsteps. At some point Yarik met his mate, Asha. During his time as the sápmi, he took part in occasions that were unusual for someone in such position. Ranua tried to restrain Yarik from doing duties beyond of the ones that actually belonged to him, but Yarik proved to be quite stubborn, so he was allowed to continue.

A year after becoming a sápmi, Yarik was informed by Asha that the two was going to become parents. Yarik expressed his excitement, and notified Ranua — who then congratulated the couple. Nearly a month later, a day after the 2nd Kuovsâkkâsah was held, Yarik, like others, took a notice of the strange activity with the 3rd pack. Yarik tried to call out for the 2nd pack's sápmi, with no avail. Ranua then, reluctantly, ordered Yarik to go to the 3rd pack, to investigate. As he was taking his leave, Asha stopped him and demanded to accompany her mate. Yarik tried to stop her, but knew that was not an option. Ranua also tried to reason with her, but gave in, and let her go with Yarik.

Hours passed and the couple arrived at an area close to the 3rd pack's location. Yarik immediately noticed something was off. He then suddenly smelled blood. Yarik readied himself to protect Asha. From the blizzard revealed a young female wolf, who was covered in blood. Yarik dropped his guard and went to aid the wounded youngling. After a brief and ominous conversation, Yarik noticed something else on the wolf. The pelt of the young female was as white as the snow. Yarik became defensive, but the female tried to assure him of being misunderstood. Asha then stood in front, ready to believe her. However, the white female then changed her demeanor completely. She attacked Yarik fast, the former having no time to react, also due to shock. The White Wolf managed to knock Yarik out. While unconscious, Asha fought as best as she could, albeit to no avail. Upon waking up, Yarik saw his mate laying dead on the snow, pool of blood surrounding her, and the young female standing over, laughing. The female then mentioned about Asha's pregnancy and, while evilly laughing, she raised her head and pulled his and Asha's unborn pup — congratulating the would-have-been father of having a daughter. Yarik became enraged and attacked the white wolf with the intent to kill. Unfortunately, the female was too fast for him, and due to her pelt, she was able to blend in to the snow. Yarik was able to give her few bloody scratches but he instead was the one receiving serious injuries. Due to these injuries, Yarik weakened very quickly, and his capability to defend himself worsened as well. Before the female made her final move, Yarik asked if she had done something to the 3rd pack, to which the female answered satisfyingly positively. Then, she attacked Yarik one more time, and bit him from the head — crushing it. From that moment on, the family of U'maar was no more. Yarik and Asha's bodies were discovered a day later and then buried in the Bassemánnu.
