### Personality

Makena was a caring, feisty, protective, brave, persistent, kind and gentle young wolf.

### Appearance

Makena had a bright reddish sand brown pelt with light grey markings and black on top of her neck and on back. Her eyes were yellow.

## History

Makena was born to Calian and Kahlina in the Southern pack. She descends from two distinctive families; from her mothers side, she inherited the color mutation in her pelt and are the only wolves to have such in the whole pack, and as from her fathers side, she is a blood relative to the packs ruling family, the Ohitekah, her father being the son of Pyros - who is the son of Mubarad and the brother of Sekhan, making Makena's father the cousin of Kireg, and Makena the first cousin once removed.

During her childhood she was kept hidden most of the time as her parents were afraid of her discovery since they weren't sure what would happen to her. Makena lost her father when she was only 1 and a half months old. When she reached adulthood, Kireg somehow had discovered her being the granddaughter of Pyros, and thus made Makena to be betrothed to him. She was to become mates with him after turning 2 years of age. Because of this, Makena kept running away from the pack constantly.

One time she had come upon Balta, a young omega valley wolf. The two kept meeting every night for six months and eventually fell in love. Makena fell pregnant only a week after she and Balta had officially become mates. Her pregnancy bump started to show as more time passed and Kireg's suspicions grew greater. Makena gave birth to one pup, their son, who she had decided to name Anuk. Unfortunately three days after Anuks birth, Kireg had found out about Balta and Anuk, and ordered Makena to be captured and her mate and son be killed. During the attack, Balta ran away, leaving Makena and Anuk all by themselves. Because of this, Makena was forced to abandon Anuk. She met a female wolf named Maram and left Anuk to her, as she trusted Maram to raise him and be the kind of mother she never got to be. She then was eventually captured and brought back to the pack, to face Kireg. After refusing to reveal her son's location, an execution order was then given by Kireg, dying only at the age of 2.

### Legacy

More than anything, Makena wanted to protect her newborn son Anuk. This was why she tried her hardest to keep Anuk hidden from Kireg, as she knew what would happen to him if found out. She also did not want to impose the hardships that being part of a powerful family had, especially when born completely different, and moreover did not want to leave her son an orphan; in the end Makena willingly sacrificed her own life. Also, Makena is similar to her son Anuk, as observed by both her former mate and his brother. This became a source of strength and forgiveness for Balta, giving him the courage to assist Anuk fighting against the Southern pack.

Several years later, Makena posthumously had three grandsons: Zekee, Alek and Matt. However, none of her grandsons inherited anything from her, but rather one of her great-granddaughters, Nita, inherited her features as well as her gentleness. Until one of her great great-granddaughters, Rayena, had inherited her color mutation; making her have the similar appearance to Makena and a true Uzakï.
