Cure's-The-Wind

**Cure's-The-Wind** is a Fianna.

## Biography

You knew that something was different about you for as long as you can remember. While your littermates all acted on instinct, sometimes you would watch, wait and make a decision before acting.

The other wolves were obviously uncomfortable around you but your skill in taking down prey made you too valuable to ignore.

After a few winters, it became apparent that the new, young alpha of the pack was showing more attention to you than to your mother.

Most of the other females and a good few of the males were submitting to you already.

In fact, you were on the verge of supplanting your mother as alpha female when your First Change happened and your Dad came for you.

Your father was nothing like you expected. Not long after he took you back to the magic place, he changed into the form of a large, bearded human and he seemed to expect you to do the same. While you took what time you could in your breed form, most of the caern's business seemed to be conducted in Homid or Crinos, to your consternation.

Spending time in human form was often uncomfortable for you. Garou and human society was so odd and complex compared to life in the pack, and you longed for those simple days.

When some males you perceived to be Alphas made a move on you, you gladly mated with them. You couldn't understand why your father got so angry about this.

Your reputation grew for cutting to the heart of a problem, even if you did get people's backs up sometimes with the directness of your advice.

Where you had particular success is in matchmaking. Courtship in wolf packs was simple and direct. You can see the same underlying currents in Garou and Kinfolk relations and you do your best to make sure the most suitable mates come together.

While your father was happy to mate with wolf Kin are easier, though, although some decry your direct advice as unromantic. You've found that this opinion often changes after a few drinks.

You're a wolf that has found a niche in the very human Fianna society by using your instincts and nose to spot potential partings that will bear strong young for your extended pack. The odd mating rituals between Garou and Kin sometimes confuse and disgust you, but you can cut to the chase in your advice in the way no homid advisor ever can.

**Roleplaying Notes:** You approach the discussions of your pack and sept with an insight and directness that sometimes resolves the situation and sometimes gets you into a fight. Your particular specialty is bringing Kin and Garou together, cutting through the complicated emotions humans lay over their desire to mate.

You have very little concept of romance in the traditional sense, but little brings you more pleasure than a well-matched couple mating successfully.

**Equipment:** A keen sense of smell, basic and somewhat flattering human clothes and a spare bottle or two of whiskey stashed away for when the lovelorn need assistance.
