Raen is short, even by female standards and at one time could easily have been mistaken for a coyote rather then a wolf. After the pack regrew itself and food was no longer so hard to find, the femme "filled out" so to speak. It is as if the earth had molded itself into wolven form when it comes to Raen, Her pelt is a mixture of earthy browns and ashy greys, mingling with white and ebony folicals. She has expressive "doe" eyes that can range in color from nearly black to light brown and always reveal what she is thinking, even if the rest of her body does not. As a result of a fight with a cougar, her right side is scarred in various areas along her head, neck and shoulder and can sometimes be seen with the tip of her right ear flopped over due to the notch that was taken out of the cartalege in her ear.

Despite being an Alpha and a Mother, Raen is still a pup at heart. She enjoys the little things in life, like a brisk run through the forest or nibbling on honey suckles in the spring. Raen tries to juggle all aspects of her life while still retaining some scense of sanity. She is very laid back and tries to be patient but is not without the "Kumo" temper - which tends to run in the family. Once egnited she is a force of nature.

Raen was born into Amaranth as the result of her parents defiance. The alpha at the time, NovaStar, had denied her parents permission to breed because his mate was already round with growing whelps in her womb as another wolf in the pack. NovaStar feared there would not be enough food to sustain three litters of puppies or their nursing mothers. Raen's parents went ahead and bred anyway and 60 some odd days later, Raen, her sister Gana and brother MoonBane were born. As punishment, the pups were taken away and they were banished from the pack for their unruly behavior.
It was Celeste, an age-old female who took the pups under her wing. As an elder in Amaranth, she preached the ways of peace and fairness. She taught the girls the Old Ways and filled their heads with her stories of adventures and the concequences of violence and greed. Raen admired the elderly wolfess and worshipped every word that fell from the femme's tongue.
Raen and Gana grew into fine young wolves; strong, powerful and good at heart. MoonBane however strayed from Celests teaching. After the Elder passed through the void, MoonBane became ambitious and shadowed NovaStar, walking in the Alpha Male's paw steps. Gana went on to find a mate and Raen began to long for one of her own. It was as if the gods presented her with a gift, when Ridoran and his warriors passed through the Amaranth territory. NovaStar granted them access to the lands and after countless months of playful courtship, Ridoran took Raen as his mate and joined Amaranth as a Sentinel. The next season, NovaStar granted them breeding rights and their daughter Roisin was born. Shortly after, Ridoran was killed in a hunting accident, recieving a deadly blow to the ribs that punctured his lung. Around the same time, Gana and her mate passed on after coming down with rabies. Raen was devistated to the point of illness. Her living, breathing daughter and Gana's son DuskRacer, her newphew, became her soul reasons for living.
As the years went by, NovaStar grew old, he began leaving his duties to MoonBane, who followed them obediantly. NovaStar too eventually passed into the void. He had arranged for MoonBane to take his place as alpha male, oblivious to the mind games the male had been playing. MoonBane had tricked the elderly male alpha into believing he was dedicated to the Old Ways of peace, when really he had a different motive.
MoonBane started talking about leading a strike against a neighboring pack. This idea went against everything Celest had taught him and the female pups and Raen refused to take part in the violence. Others stayed behind as well. MoonBane's hord set out and didn't return for many moons. Just when the small group was ready to give up hope of seeing them again, they returned. Raen was appauled by the scent of blood that carried with the pack she had called family for so long. In hopes that this was the last of her brothers Crusades, she let it go.
In the dead of night, the pack was attacked, She found her nephew and daughter and hid them as well as she could but to no avail. They were found but as the wolf made to attack Raen pleaded for their lives, assuring the wolf that they ment them no harm and had not taken part in the ravaging of their pack. She was relieved to the point of the tears when the y were released but told to leave the lands. Raen lead the samll group away from the bloodstained ground that had been their home. After having taken charge, Raen felt a new sense of purpose and decided to take on the role of Alpha of Amaranth, with its few surviving members to carry on its peaceful legacy and to clean the smudge her brother had placed on the packs name.

She tends to flick her ears alot, like a nervous twitch. She also has a problem standing still. Always gotta keep moving - even in place she tends to dance her paws beneath her.
