Willows is a runt. She looks a fair bit smaller than she should. Her full height is just 25 inches at the shoulder. Her muzzle is a soft caramel brown, while the rest of her is brown flecked with silver. Her underbelly is white as is her tail's tip. Although her frame is small she carries herself with impressive confidence and her golden eyes seem soft yet all-knowing.

Willows is fun-loving and mischievous and simply loves to play. Her nose is strong and she loves to explore. She also loves to learn. As such, she has already become a keen tracker, scout and huntress. She still has much to learn, but loves to do so and seems to pick more up each day. As she has aged she has found a love of tracking and sniffing things out. She loves to search out different smells but also has a deep love for her family and friends. While quite distrustful at first, she will growl and show her teeth to those she doesn't know. Once she warms up to someone though, so long as they do not harm her, they will have found a loyal friend for life.

Willows was born to a small pack of only a handful of wolves. That year, her litter was the only one born to the pack. She was the runt in a large batch of 7 pups, four brothers, two sisters and herself. Willows was a very explorative puppy and she loved to play ESPECIALLY when she should have been sleeping. Though, seeing her size for weakness her father, Kern, wished to kill Willows. Her mother, Breeze, would have no part of it and forcefully defended Willows.
The pack was furious, they wanted Willows dead, fearing that she’d only hold them back. The lead huntress, Breeze, continued to defend Willows earning herself many injuries as well as a general dislike from the pack. Finally, when Willows was about 6 months old, Kern threatened to kill Breeze if she defended her daughter further. Willows, wishing to save her mother and in great fear of dying, ran away from her packs’ lands. Several days and nights she spent alone, but unable to fend for herself and becoming very hungry, fearful and lonely she called out into the night.
Willows’ calls were answered by the Wolf Spirits pack, where she was quickly taken in and eventually adopted by Kivak and Hinaezuu Atradico. Everything seemed well, she had a pack and a family that loved her, Willows was the happiest she’d ever been. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be perfect for some time.
The eagle, friend and servant of Kern’s pack, HeartSong, stalked Willows. She soon found her within the Wolf Spirits pack. They were too large for Kern’s pack to even consider attacking though. Thus, she stayed at a fair distance.
Mysteriously, a newcomer, Eclipse, found his way to the Wolf Spirits pack and tried to win over Willows affections. It worked for her and Willows began to fall for him, but when the much older brute tried to force her to leave Willows adoptive father, Kivak, saw right through it and forced Eclipse to leave. Kern, Willows birth father, tried many times to attack Willows but was thwarted by the Wolf Spirits pack.
Not long later, came the day that Kivak and Hinaezuu left the Wolf Spirits’ lands to return to their own, in the hopes of reforming their pack Earthen Song. Into the depths of the forest left Kivak, Hinaezuu, Willows and her little brother Lynaak. It wasn’t long before they were found by HeartSong, now with just the four of them, it was perfect time for Kern’s pack to attack and attack they did. The battle was fierce. Hinaezuu battled Katana and defeated her earning herself only a small leg injury. Meanwhile, Steel battled Kivak, Eclipse battled Lynaak and Kern went after Willows. Lynaak defeated Eclipse earning a small injury to his ruff while Kivak took down Steel easily and remained injury free. The battle with Kern was fierce and Willows was quite hurt. Hinaezuu came to her aid but would allow only Willows to finish her father, her long battle for survival and the right to live finally over. The now passed alpha had always mistaken Willows size for strength. Right as Willows killed him she showed him the truth though, “My body may be small, but my heart is mighty.”
It was not long after that the family arrived in the Earthen Song lands. Home and Willows felt it so, a real home and her father was no longer looming over her life. But her past coming back to haunt her had not yet finished, Breeze found their new home. Injured, old and weak Willows had but only a short time with her mother before her passing. She was buried and mourned by the pack at the base of the large hill in the forest by the stream. Willows bloodline now ended with her, she was the last of her birth family left.
A few months before Willows became a yearling a young male, Palisade, found his way to Earthen Song’s homelands and not long after, into Willows heart. The time of her becoming a yearling was a happy one. She courted Palisade and began her training as a Caretaker for her family, while her and her court also adopted the pups Ren and Jae who were found in the woods alone and without a home. It was to Willows dismay, as her time neared to become Palisade’s mate, that Ren and Jae lost their lives to a large bear that had felt threatened by them in the woods. Willows was heartbroken and Palisade, taking advantage of her weakness, convinced her to leave the Earthen Song lands. Their mate-ship wouldn’t last. Palisade wanted pups and Willows, in her grief for their lost adopted pups, wanted nothing more than to do without that year. Her mate was furious and attacked her. Willows won over him, breaking off their mate-ship and returning home to her family.
Her heat was heavy. The last of her bloodline, lost pups, the last of her bloodline and now as full Caretaker of her family she was feeling the pressure and darkness in her life. She found herself caring for little Orson, a very large pup who she had found in the woods, his family killed by a mother bear. She took a liking to him she fed him, cared for him and looked after him. He was the one thing she could hold onto. Though, with all the pressure she was feeling, she felt very heavy. Taking Orson, she headed into the woods for a few days on her own.
Little did she know that she would become lost with the pup and be forced to care for him alone for several months. They found other packs, sure, but none of them were her family. She didn’t want anyone else; she wanted Earthen Song, her lands, her home. Finally, she found the scent. Over joyed she rushed with Orson back into their lands and was happily greeted by her brother, now the Alpha, Kazmarez and her uncle, no longer the Beta, Chande. Finally, she was home again.
{ C H A R A C T E R - Q U I R K S }
She tilts her head and perks her ears when something interests her or has caught her attention. She will pad the ground almost nervously when she is unsure about something. In times of confrontation she commonly lowers her ears to her skull and lowers her frame even if she is being assertive.
