About the Chief
Surprisingly, the chief didn't set out to purposefully gain her position. For some reason, Krokotas seemed to be drawn to her, finding their way to her side from all directions. She would not deny them in their need and was grateful enough for the companionship. However, she had no desire to lead or rule over others, let alone all the attention that brings. And yet, when the need presented itself, she stepped into the role of leadership as naturally as her own fur.
And so, if at bit reluctant at first, Samantha sensed the need of these Krokotas for a leader and a protector..and much as she tried to deny it at first..she could fulfill that role. Still, she's not one for drawing unneeded attention to herself, so she's not one for formality or stuffy rules. She would prefer to treat her pack like a family, in which comradery rules and everyone pulls their own weight as their skills allow. Krokotas help one another because they want to, not because they're forced to. She believes that a pack formed on such a bond is stronger than any blood ties.
She has a temper, however, so beware. Easy-going enough at most times, she can be set off by a number of things. Stupid squabbles amongst pack members are near the top of her list. Pack members should learn to settle their own petty differences. If a squabble has grown large enough to affect the rest of the pack, Samantha will be forced to step in and settle things her way. Likely a paw swat to the head and a lecture about finding more productive uses for their excessive energy.
Threats towards those she has sworn to protect as "her own", however, are likely the most dangerous triggers for her temper, and heaven help any beast foolish enough to try that unleashes her wrath.
