Pack Name:The Winters moon Pack
Name: Shade Starscream
Gender: Male
Age: 6
Appearance:
Rank: Beta
Personality: Shade's personality can be summed up in one word:
Loyal. His position as Beta is something he takes very seriously and he would have it no other way than to offer his life and service to the Alphas of his pack. But his loyalty does not end with the great leaders of the Winter's Moon Pack, he cares deeply for each member, especially the pups of the pack and would lay down his life for their own safety. Shade can come across as being rude or overly stern, but his heart is a warm one and it's gentle warmth becomes apparent whenever he interacts with the pups. He wants more than anything to find a mate and pass his genes down to his own pups, but his duty is demanding and he would never shirk his responsibilities for the lure of a female in estrus. He is in his prime and enjoys few things more than to go for high speed runs through the dense forests, taking in the stunning landscape as he burns off all his worries and stresses. He is highly self disciplined and keeps his body in peak condition to ensure he does not fail his Alpha's or the hunting team.
History: Shade was sire by a now passed Beta named Starscream. His name was given to him for the unusual howls he produced which sent eerie chills down even the boldest of wolves. Shade is a perfect copy of his father in appearance, having no sign of his mother's silvery fur on his coat. He does, however, carry her eyes. Shade has been in the pack since birth and learned to love its members. His mother passed when he was 2 years old when difficulties presented during her labor to bring twins into the world. None of the three survived. Shade's father took great care of him and cherished him as his first and only born son, but his time came too no more than 4 seasons ago and he passed peacefully with age into the Moon Mother's arms where he would sing his eerie songs with his passed mate and pups. Shade became beta at that time and has honored Farkas' choice to offer him his father's long held position. Despite his many losses of loved ones, he is very much at peace with the waxing and waning of each living thing's life and has even come to accept the loss of his mother and siblings.
Strengths: Shade is a fierce hunter and physically in his prime. He is larger than most wolves, giving him an edge when taking down big game. His time with his father taught him critical thinking and tactics or war and of hunt.
Weaknesses: Shade knows much of loyalty and little of love. He has a hard time letting pack members get too close to him, though not intentionally...if only his social skills were are impressive as his hunting skills. Luckily he feels at home around the alpha's and the pups.
Family: No Living family.
Mate: No mate currently.
Pups:None, though he longs for some.

Pack Name: Stardust Vale Pack
Name: Sequoia [Seh-coy-ah] (Quoia for short)
Age: 5
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Rank: Beta
Personality: Sequoia is a warm hearted, zen, wise she-wolf. She claimed her place as beta of the Stardust Vale pack not through her hunting, which are up to standard for a beta, but instead for her ability to remain calm and analyse any situation placed before her. She believes a pack must be well rounded, filled with members of all kinds; she herself has taken the role of the intellectual one and prefers to stand and wait, observing the ongoings around her and saying only only what needs to be said and when it needs to be said. She is kind and patient, a strong maternal sense fills her soul, as is expected with a female wolf of her age and position. Though she does not have a mate, she enjoys the idea of the bond between a mated pair and silently awaits the day she finds another whose howls harmonize perfectly with hers beneath the pale moon.
History: Quoia was not born into the Stardust Vale pack, rather she came here when she was mere days old, or so she is told. Her mother was a wanderer, having left her own pack for reasons of which she would not speak. She said that she had set out into the wild to seek a new family for she could no longer stay with the one she had known. Quoia never knew her father, and her mother only ever told her that he was a brave, noble wolf that did his duty to the pack. While she enjoyed daydreaming about a heroic wolf defending the honor of her mother and their pack, she eventually gave up the daydreaming and focused on her maturing life and new responsibilities to the Stardust Vale pack.
She grew quickly in mind though she was very much a late bloomer by body. She always assumed she was the runt of her mother's womb until one day, she was nearly 3, she seemed to blossom as her coat thickened and shone one spring and her body grew from a stumpy, nothing-special form into a tall, slender, lean build which she accented with seasons upon season of training while holding a position of hunter. She learned from the Betas that led her hunting team and eventually claimed a place of her own in the higher ranks. She serves her duty well and love the Alpha truly and deeply. Her loyalty was offered and received and she would not soon have it returned.
Strengths: Sequoia is logical and witty; she uses her quick thinking and plotting mind to execute technical maneuovers while in the hunt, seeing that the elk might be glancing towards a certain direction, looking for a way out, leading her to pick up and circle around to an unsuspecting path, only to have the elk run straight into her awaiting jaws. She is not so easily fooled.
Weaknesses: Quoia has a tendency to drift off in her thinking, landing her in hot water on the occasion as she snaps out of her thoughts, only to find the prey running off over the distant landscape. While her intellect is enviable, her build is, by genetics, delicate, and therefore she is prone to injury; scrapes and sprains from taking on too large of prey or attempting too far jump are common sights on this she wolf, despite her "calculations that it should work".
Family: Her mother, Skye Blaze, passed away peacefully two moons ago. Her father is unknown. No siblings.
Mate: No Mate, but she is of age and actively seeking to silence her estrus and bear young.
Pups: None yet.
