## About Rupee

Rupee is the second mate/companion of Crow, a dark gray female wolf. She met Crow after the disappearance of Luster, the first mate to Crow, and they eventually formed a very strong bond. She is also the sister of Luster.

## Biography

Rupee grew up in the Beartooth Pack before the pack were vicious killers, together with her brother Luster. When the three brothers took over and turned the pack into a hyper aggressive gang instead of a pack, Rupee fled. She didn’t want to be a part of a killer pack. Luster chose to stay, so she left alone. She was later taken in by the Canyon Pack at Amethyst Mountain, and lived her life there for a while until the Beartooth Gang came to the mountain and started to terrorise the area. She knew how dangerous it was, and was never shown interacting with them. She heard there was only three and no white wolf there, and realized her brother was missing. After a while, she met Crow. She and her packmate met him at Amethyst Mountain right after his showdown with the Beartooth Gang. They carefully bonded, and when Crow told her about how he was the mate of Luster she was very surprised and told him that she was Luster’s sister and also a former member of the Beartooth Gang. They decided to partner up to search for Luster, and once and for all banish the Beartooth Gang from Amethyst Mountain.

As time passed they grew closer, and became mates. But Rupee knew Luster would always be Crow’s true mate, so they were more like inseparable companions. After catching onto the Beartooths’ tail, and seeing the remaining two brothers trying to partner up with an actual bear, they decided now was the time to strike. Rupee helped Crow take down the Beartooth leader, and finally out of his dying breath they got the information of Luster’s whereabouts. The last Beartooth male was no longer a threat, so they let him flee. Rupee and Crow proceeded on a journey out of Yellowstone to find Luster together.

Sometime on their journey, Rupee and Crow ended up in presumably Slough Creek, and we’re caught in the Forest Fire. Along with Crow, Lily, Everest, Silver, Marigold I, and the pups of Silver (excluding Meadow) she was also killed during The Forest Fire.

## Personality

Rupee was a curious wolf, who liked to explore and sniff out all kinds of mysteries. She was a really strong huntress, and enjoyed taking over territory by howling the best. Although she was pretty cautious and didn’t poke her nose into trouble more that she needed, she was a smart wolf. Rupee chose to leave the Beartooth Gang when the three brothers took over the once peaceful pack, not wanting anything to do with terrorising other packs or their power hunger. She cared greatly for her brother Luster, and followed Crow every step of his journey to be reunited with him once more. She regretted leaving him with the Beartooths, and wanted to do whatever she could to bring him back. Over time she and Crow got closer, but both he and Rupee knew Luster would always be Crow’s true mate, so even if they were classified as a couple and mates Rupee was always aware that their bond was a very strong friendship rather than love.

## Appearance

Rupee was a female very dark gray wolf with a slighter lighter muzzle and lower cheeks, black paws and neck ruff, and a slight red tint in her fur. Her eyes were pale green.

## Former pack

Rupee was once together with her brother Luster a part of The Beartooth Gang, before the three brothers took over. After she had fled from them, she was taken into the Canyon Pack and given the designation 23F (a glitch showed her as 23M, but story wise that has no influence). She later found her brother’s lost mate Crow, and they became companions, leading to her becoming a member of the Modern Moon Pack. The Moon Pack were major enemies to the Beartooth Gang, and has close ties to the Canyon Pack, as it is the birth pack of Silver’s mate Marigold I.

## Death

Along with Crow, Lily, Everest, Silver, Marigold I, and the pups of Silver, excluding Meadow, Rupee was also killed during The Forest Fire.

## Trivia

* Since Rupee and Marigold I came from the same pack and were right next to each other in designation (23F (*23M*)) and 24F), they were probably close and knew each other well. Although they are not sisters, since Rupee originally came from the Beartooth Pack.
* In her first appearance, Rupee was actually marked as a male wolf, (23M rather than 23F) but is referred to with she/her pronouns by both Seri and the community, which could imply that Rupee is the first non-cisgender wolf in the history of the wolf packs (although nothing is confirmed nor denied). This was due to a game glitch when Seri was playing with Crow, when she tried to make Crow temporarily female to find Luster and then switch back.
