Personality:
A natural nurturer and compassionate being, she has the perfect disposition to be a mother of three and the tribal life bearer. She loves her mate, Lovemaker, and her children and granddaughter with all her being and has devoted much of her life to caring for her family and keeping the tribe running around the holt. However, she is no push over, even with her children. Like all good parents, Smokepath knows how to be understanding and loving yet still be firm and hold fast when discipline or conflict arises.

Smokepath chooses her words carefully, thinking before speaking. Often her attitude is light and airy, reflecting her willowy form. However, having felt the stillness within her that she knew meant that she wasn't to bear any more cubs, she chose a new path - that of a tracker. With Foxears' help, she has developed this new skill rather quickly, and now enjoys occasionally accompanying the elves of the Hunt.

However, she still enjoys going out to walk in the forest and canyons and helping Firemoss collect plants and herbs. She has a strong fear of heights so doesn't often climb the trees and she isn't a strong swimmer. In fact, her near death experience from drowning has caused her to be weary of waterways and she doesn't spend much time close by them, due to her fear and sense of unease.

Very much a social person and often surrounded by others, sometimes Smokepath just likes to have her own personal time away from others. During these times she slips away to a secluded canyon with low undergrowth and few trees and lays on her back on a large, flat, warm rock and watches the moons and stars drift across the sky.

Treasures:
A stone chipped dagger; the first dagger she made. Trinkets from her children's youths. A bone and stone necklace given to her by a Sky Singer human and a stone-shaped necklace from Honeyhue.

History:
Smokepath's life has moved steadily as she sees it, with the world never ceasing to revel yet another unknown and unnamed marvel.

She was very close to both her parents, learning much of her nurturing and mothering from them. Despite this closeness to her parents, she did not grieve overtly when they died, acknowledging the necessity of the Way. She has celebrated each birth of her three children with pleasure and amazement, although she now feels a stillness within her that she recognises as her role as life bearer is now over.

The most significant event in her life occurred when she was a young adult. She had slipped away from the tribe for the night to have a little solitude. However, a sudden storm brok loose and while running back to the holt, Smokepath fell from a rock ledge and was swept away far downstream by the swollen river. When she finally managed to drag herself to shore, she stumbled through the forest trying to find her way back to the holt but instead fell into a clearing where a band of Sky Singer hunters were camped. One of the human men gave her his necklace as a gift. In return she left him one of her skirt lacings and bolted back to the holt, much more thoughtful and understanding towards these particular humans.

Several turns ago she underwent a difficult time in her life; with her role as life bearer obviously over, she felt useless to the tribe. Her daughter's lifemate Foxears helped her find a new skill, that of tracking, as well as her new name. Now more open than she had been in the past, she looks forwards to new changes and events even more so than she had, and welcomes those changes as exciting new paths for her to follow.

Rank: Low
Curljoy

Markings:
A sand blown mixture of creamy white, light grey and light reddish/brown. White muzzle and grey forehead, deep and dark brown eyes.

Personality:
A little lazy, Curljoy likes nothing better than to curl up and snooze. Not much bothers her, wolf and elf cubs alike can pull on ears and tail and she won't care. An easy-going wolf, something of a homebody, she and Smokepath have a comfortable bonding but it's not very strong.
