Irene's Links
While she may not like Elvida's hard-headed nature, she sees so much of herself in her. She views Elvida as being a very valuable member of the pack despite their disagreements.
Evlida butts heads with Irene often due to her "authoritarian" nature. She thinks of Irene as being a stick in the mud.
Irene's closest friend and advisor. She often feels lost while playing the role of leader and looks to Caine for help. She wouldn't know what to do without him here.
Caine loves the ambition of Irene, and her what she stands for. He has held the same values for a long time, but thinks she is the ideal wolf to be focal and enforce such values.
Irene finds Ljóma to be a much nicer contrast to the brashness of Elvida and occasionally seeks him out as she enjoys his company.
Ljóma doesn't have very many thoughts about Irene, though he does find that she's a great and fair leader. He doesn't see hardly any other wolf within the pack as being fit for the job.
Irene doesn't particularly care for Zhali, but finds that her hostility and neediness for a pack will make her very useful. She deeply wishes that Zhali would keep her harmful opinions about her leadership to herself, but you can't win them all.
Zhali doesn't believe that Irene is fit for the role of leader. She sees Irene as being very weak for the role and believes another, stronger wolf should take the position from her.
