Darkie

Background

Darkie was adopted and raised by a pack of wolves from the forest after being found in a circle of black fire. Wolves from the forest were gray, brown, or in between with different patterns. The pup was black with red markings. Know one knows where she came from or why she was abandoned so young.

Though she grew up with the other pups her age and acted normal, the elders did not like her because of her different color and patterns. They thought ill of her. She knew everyone never liked her, except her mom and one other pup, but that's why she wanted to please them, make them proud of her as well.

By the time she was old enough to hunt on her own, she was known the fastest hunter and was titled "FlashHunter". But one day, her title was used against her. She was out hunting with a few other pack mates, and they were attacked by an unknown "smokey" wolf. It killed everyone in the group, except for her. When they were found by the rest of the pack, the rest of the pack thought of her as a traitor and exiled her.

So she wandered by herself, not knowing where to go. She got attacked by a bear and was severely injured. She collapsed out of exhaustion. Then a small human came by, then a bigger human. They took her in and healed her. When she awoke, she bit the bigger human, but he insisted on helping her, so she let him. She finally got better and stayed with the family a bit longer till she thought it was time to leave. The small human gave her a gift, a dark red scarf, before she left. Back in the wild, traveling alone, hunting alone, searching for a place to call home....

Over time, she never grew old, but her speed and hunting skills did not falter and she was able to run longer distances no matter the climate. However, she also slowly started to lose her sanity and her sense of smell.
