## About Galaxy

Galaxy was born to Luna and Fenrir's first and only litter together, making her the oldest female of the second generation of the Packs.

After the Great Burning, Galaxy was in the worst physical and emotional state in her life. Her head was plagued by thoughts about how she could've saved Jupiter, and perhaps even the rest of the pack, if she were quicker to act. One day, while Gold was keeping himself distracted by hunting a mule deer meal, she ran back to the remains of the forest, where she was spotted by wildlife rescuers, captured, and then brought to the Wildlife Rescue Center. There, she met her mate, Orbit, who helped her recover from the scars of her past. She, along with Orbit and 14 other wolves, was relocated to none other than Lost River to help spread wolf activity ranges. With a radio collar around her neck, she said goodbye to the life she knew for the second time. She and Orbit established a territory and had pups at 4 years old, making them the first Moon Pack descendants to raise offspring in Lost River. For that reason, they founded a new pack - the Galaxy Pack.

Galaxy was a suprisingly tanky wolf, with lots of health and strength like her mother Luna. However, she lacked in speed and stamina, making her a bad deer hunter.

## Appearance

Galaxy is a stunning black and pearly-white wolf, with some medium brown hues across her neck ruff, head, and rear. The top of her face, her ears, her nose, scruff, back, and tail are matte black. Her muzzle, underbelly, shoulders and legs are white, but slightly fade to a tan light brown colour towards her rear. She has very slightly bluish and pinkish hues stretching from her eyelids to the sides of her ears. Her ears are small, and her left ear is somewhat floppy. She has a radio collar around her neck. Her eyes are a captivating citrus green shade.

## Personality

As a pup, Galaxy was, without a doubt, among the smarter wolves of the litter. However, she was occasionally rather emotional, and she genuinely cared for her littermates a lot, which would sometimes set her back. She and Gold were always seen together, usually playing or teasing each other. She was the one that could communicate her thoughts to him best, and vice versa.

## Litters

### First and only litter with Orbit

In early april, Galaxy and Orbit had their first and only litter of six pups at the Whispering Woods den just north of Allison Acres.

Cosmo was a mostly dull, dark brown male, but had a reddish brown hue to his forehead. He was tied to Solace about being the heaviest pup of the litter, however, most of his weight was pure muscle, while most of Solace's weight came from fat. He was very playful, social and outgoing, always pulling little pranks on his siblings whom he cared for dearly. He enjoyed having fun running around more than anything else. After Izar's death, however, he was completely unrecognizable. He started trying at everything as hard as he possibly could, often fighting his siblings over food. He was serious and stoic in fear of dying the way that Izar did. He also became very territorial and protective in fear of dying the way that Izar did.

Namid was a solid dark gray female. She was slightly underweight due to being pushed out of the way of food by her siblings constantly, so she became rather timid and submissive. When alone, her true colours would shine, and she would explore and wander the gorgeous tall grasses to her heart's content. She was extremely curious about all the fascinating smells and sounds around her, and she had a very short attention span because of it. When Izar joined the Starlit, Namid began worrying for her own safety in the pack, and began wandering off even more. She learned to be independent and got more confident in her abilities, so she was no longer a pushover.

Izar was a darker brown male with medium brown shades around his eyebrows. He was a very small and weak runt that often missed out on getting fed simply because he wasn't fast enough. He was easily the most cautious, shiest, worried pup in the litter, and this only made him get jokingly teased by Cosmo, and occasionally Solace, even more. He didn't take it as a joke, though, so he got very disheartened. He was also very unlucky, causing him to get sick almost all the time. One time, he got horribly ill, and passed it onto most of his littermates. Somehow, they got better before he did, and he showed no signs of improvement. He was now getting fed a lot more than he should've been, but his health was still declining. Galaxy and Orbit made the decision to let him pass on so they wouldn't have to waste the already scarce food on a wolf that wouldn't survive anyway, They were also worried that he would pass the disease onto the ones that didn't get sick.

Andromeda was a solid white female that was somewhat brown-tinted. She was extremely serious and stoic even before Izar's death, and she was also a loner. She would never spend time with anyone, she'd simply watch from a distance and observe. She was very careful and always made sure to think things through. Out of all her littermates, she was beyond a shadow of a doubt the most perceptive. She was quick-witted, clever and cunning, and matured quicker than her siblings. Izar's fate made her more determined to survive and live as well as she could.

Solace was a light brown male with a long, darker brown stripe that connected from his nose to the tip of his tail. He adored food, and was the heaviest pup in the whole litter. He was rather social and enjoyed chilling out and relaxing with packmates, although he prefered spending time with Alioth. He had lots of energy that he would keep on the low until eventually bursting, running around, pouncing and prancing to exhaustion. Others would often describe him as good to spend time with, as he didn't have any extreme personality factors, and was fine with doing virtually anything.

Alioth was an orange-tinted, gray and white male. He was, just like his brother Solace, a very chilled out and relaxed wolf, rarely giving insight into what he was thinking about - usually just nodding and agreeing with whatever another said as it passed through one ear and out of the other. He didn’t come out of his shell or open up horribly often - not because he was shy or timid, just because he liked staying close exclusively to those he already had a stronger bond with.

## In-depth biography (WIP)

### Amethyst Mountain

Galaxy and her littermates had officially turned two years old, and their younger half-siblings were now yearlings. It felt like just yesterday when they were all tiny, stumbling furballs, learning to navigate the world under Luna, Fenrir and Red. But time flies, and there they were, standing tall and strong on Amethyst Mountain - the territory they now called home. The Moon Pack had settled in well, and the valley had become abundant with prey. The elk herds had returned to higher elevations. My heart swelled with pride and excitement for the future. These very mountains held the dreams she and her brothers had —finding mates, starting families, and watching their legacy grow as the Moon Pack thrived. One morning, though, Galaxy awoke with an uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach. Something was off. The air felt strange, warmer than usual, even for this time of year. There was an unnatural stillness in it. She nudged Gold awake, hoping he might offer some explanation, but he seemed just as bewildered as her. Then it hit them — the absence of their youngest brother, Saturn. He had gone hunting south of their current location, but he should have been back by now. Panic surged through Galaxy as she realized he might be in danger. The air reeked with an acrid, suffocating stench that made her feel sick. She tried to steady her breathing, but the air itself felt heavy and oppressive, as if it was closing in on them. The pair woke Jupiter, their other littermate, wishing to see if at least he knew what was happening. Groggily, he mumbled that Saturn had gone hunting and that they shouldn't worry too much. But his reassurance did little to quell the burning fear within Galaxy. The rising sun was tainted with a strange hue, and smoke began to swirl in the distance, lightly clouding their vision. Reality set in — they were facing a forest fire. They had heard tales of fires but never imagined experiencing one themselves. Their parents never warned them about this kind of danger, leaving them unprepared. Instinctually, the three wanted to flee, but the guilt of leaving Saturn behind would kill them even if they did escape the flames. *What did they need to do to live? Would they live? But what if their brothers needed them? Would they turn away and let them burn? Or would they risk their own lives in an attempt to save theirs?* Their panicked thoughts ended abruptly when Jupiter limped back, burns covering him, struggling to breathe through the smoke. Saturn was dead. His body lay collapsed on the carcass of another wolf he had presumably been battling. They were trapped in a ring of fire, and due to exhaustion from fighting, they both started hyperventilating. But they had no oxygen. Just the smoke and ash of that which was already dead. Galaxy immediately went into a deeper, darker state of shock, and Gold barely snapped her out of it with his words. *'If we don't get a move on, we'll burn too.'* It was clear to Galaxy that he was as shocked as her, but he did a good job of surpressing his emotions. Desperation urged them to run, but seeing Jupiter in such a state, they couldn't just abandon him. Galaxy and Gold tried to support him as they fled, but he was in terrible shape, both physically and emotionally. The smoke filled their lungs, making it harder to breathe with each passing moment. The thought of their fallen brother weighed heavily on them, and Jupiter slowed down. As they pressed on, Galaxy felt like the fire laughed at them, determined to consume everything in its path. They came across another section of the forest engulfed in flames, and Galaxy felt a pit in her stomach again when they found their mother, Luna, crushed beneath a fallen branch. Hearing their brother Saturn had died was already horrible, but seeing the enflamed carcass of their mother was even worse. (TBA - fill in please :3)
