- Bright Talon might not seem so bright to those who meet her at first. After all, she was raised by a pair of crows, and as a pup, believed herself to actually be one as well. (“I just haven’t grown my wings yet, duh.”) It wasn’t until she was older that her “parents” broke it to her that they’d found her when she was young. Now she is on a journey of self discovering, to see what it’s like to be a wolf.
That said, she still gained a few mannerisms that aren’t particularly wolf-like. For example, she likes to find the highest spots she reach to nest. (“Who needs a den, am I right?”) She’ll also make little chittering noises when she’s not paying attention, likes to find and wear objects that make her look like she’s feathered instead of furred, and she is used to scavenging for food rather than hunting. On the bright side, she did gain a beautiful singing voice and can be found doing so as she travels.
As a whole though, she is a fairly good natured bird-wolf, and while she can be leery towards new people at first, she’s easy to make friends with in the long run.

Character Notes:
- OG pack I/T (no longer in development) - Original contest entry information:
(history entry) Between the swamplands and the mountains there resides two rivaling packs, each fighting for the rights over a rather prolifically bred herd. There is no shortage of food as the herd travels between both boundaries, however neither pack seem to be able to come to an agreement on how much elk they should take down or when one side should force the herd to the other. Tension was at the breaking point and war would surely come if no preventative actions were taken. After a rather heated argument over a dead elk arose, both leaders decided enough was enough and agreed that combining packs would be beneficial for all.
This is where Swamp Song and Mountain Breeze come into the picture - both wolves are first born children to the alphas of their pack. It was a simple call really; the two would wed and combine their packs lines, forming a pack grander than before. Are the two wolves happy about it? Not particularly, however they are duty bound and proud to unite their packs. What is a loveless life when compared to one of war and famine?
Both were readily prepared and a date set for their first meeting. The meeting was stiff, loveless and borderline unwelcoming. Between their stoic personalities and the guards who had tagged along to watch for any funny business, it could hardly be considered a success. In the end, they simply discussed their future with a flat level of disinterest, and left knowing that they felt only neutrality towards the other.
(relationship dynamic entry) The wedding would need to go off regardless of their feelings though, and with this in mind, the two wolves continue to try and find common ground. Both Mountain and Swamp sent a crow back and forth with messages; mostly talks of the weather, the landscape and the herd they fight over. If one were to ask the crow, he would simply call it unromantic and cold, and although both are clearly trying, it is stiff and almost grudging. Neither are very happy with the fact that they are being forced to mate with the other. Thankfully, they are nothing if not stubborn, and the chance to unite the packs is not one that either is willing to ignore.
Mountain Breeze is the gruffer of the two, though his reasons for it are kept secret from all... for now. Little does anyone know, but the scowling, grumpy male had his eye on a pretty little thing in his pack before this marriage business came up, and now he must deal with not only letting that prospect go, but settling with a gal who is a little too much like him for comfort. Silently pining as he is, he’s likely to snap at everyone - especially his bride to be.
Swamp Song, of course, has noticed Mountain’s distraction from their marriage plans. Being nothing if not perceptive, she is not one to allow her mate to drift like he is. Deciding to take matters into her own paws, she recently left her packs lands with a single guard. Her hope is to surprise Mountain and be with his pack, understand their culture and find some acceptance.
Sooner or later, these two will have to come to terms with their future, and only time will tell if it ends up a happy one....
- (fleeing their home)
Tension was growing between the soon-to-be-joined packs, with fights being broken up constantly. While Mountain Breeze and Swamp Song focused on their upcoming nuptials, whispers of mutiny circulated within the shadows....
Finally, things came to a head during a hunt with the King's Shadow elk herd. The hunt began as normal until very suddenly, groups of their own turned on each other. It was a coordinated attack, with many of their brothers and sisters falling to their own people, and when the dust began to settle, the unthinkable happened.
The King of the elk herd had been killed, slain by one of the mutineers, and with him dead, the rest of the herd fled. Their source of food had abandoned their home. And standing with her teeth buried in his throat, a crazed glee in her eyes, was the she-wolf that Mountain had fancied before his marriage.
Their way of life fell apart after that. War broke out between the packs, death quickly following in it's footsteps, and as the ones who were meant to bring them together, the heirs to the packs were forced to flee. After all, if they had just tried harder, if they had done what they were meant to do, then perhaps none of this would have happened. They were now surrounded by enemies.
Betrayed and spirits broken, Mountain Breeze and Swamp Song fled their old home.
