Sadra is about average size, broad shouldered and tends to look bigger than she really is. Her coat is a dark grays and browns, with white legs, chest, neck and belly. Eyes are golden brown. She is often traps small prey using leg holding traps and snares. Is also very good at building her own traps and small cages. She tans almost every hide she can and uses leather almost to a fault and also dries alot of meat for easy keeping. Hence a fire is very common place at her den.

And omg sorry for the loooong ass post, please dont feel like you have to write anything near as long cause my reply is gonna be much much shorter XD

A yawn was all that could be heard as wolf stretched in the pitch black just before dawn. After that initial stretch, Sadra stretched out her legs and shoulders. It had been a long journey, and it wasnt over yet. "At least Im not alone though, right Jobe, Honey?" A metallic rattle was the only response she got as her two rabbits shifted in their cage to try to see their owner in the darkness. She smiled. Jobe was the oldest, by a few week and was dark rich brown. Honey however was light and golden, like honey. She had found two litters of rabbits the previous year. Jobe, she had caught his mother in a snare and after discovering the mother was feeding a litter hunted them out. Honey however, she had found simply because she needed a nursing doe to feed the litter she already had. She successfully raised five rabbits that year, but kept only Jobe and Honey. The others were givin to pups in her colony. Something she regretted now, considering everything that had happened.

The cage that held the two rabbits was strapped to the back of Sadra's cart which held various supplies. Mostly deer and bovine hides that were rolled together, but also a tightly wound roll of wire she used to create cages and a few various stone and metal tools. Snares and leg-traps hung from the side of the cart, most of them Sadra had made but a few were human creations that had survived the tests of time. The cart itself was brilliant in its construction. At least the what the owner thought of it. It was something else Sadra had crated on her own. It wasnt long or wide, but tall. It held the rolls of wire and leathers upright so that it could navigate tight winding trails of wilderness. It had two wheels positioned at the front so it had to be tilted forwards to roll freely while the short legs in the back kept it upright while stationary. The handles swept up and forward to be at about waist level on the wolf. Sadra had created a belt type harness that the handles could hook into for hands-free travel.

The sky line was starting to lighten as the world around Sadra became more defined as the first rays wrapped around the earth. Fetching her pack from the top of the cart, Sadra pulled out a small strip of dried venison. Sticking the whole piece in her mouth she pulled out two leather strips. The edges of the leather were trimmed in rabbit fur. Putting the first strip around her right tarsals and began to lace it up. Finishing it with a double knot so it wouldnt come undone, she started on the left foot. Pulling the cart caused strain the braces kept her feet from wearing out. Next was the belt, with it strapped around her waist Sarda hoisted the cart into the holsters and was off.

She had traveled north for weeks. Tired of the wolf 'colonies' that had formed in what had been the mid-west of the United States. She wanted to seek out those that still knew what it was to be a wolf and not follow the foot prints of the humans. "Idiots." She whispered, just the mere though of that place enraged her, only setting her resolve firmer. In the last few days she had been catching traces of wolf scent on the wind. Hopefully soon she would find them.

The sun was threating to sink towards the horizon, but Sadra had found the packs she had been looking for. She just hadnt expect find such a cluster of them. Traveling deep into the land she avoided the claimed territories and waited for one of them to speak to her, to say 'this is the one'. About to turn around and make another pass through the lands, something on the wind. She didnt know what it was, but it called to her, pulling her North once more. There it was, she didnt know why but she wanted to try these lands. Nestled up against the foot of the mountain. Stopping, she released her cart and let it settle down.

Shyness crept over her and for a moment she was afraid to let her voice call out. Would they have need for a trapper and tanner? Would they have any use for her at all? Her thoughts were interrupted as Jobe rattled the cage. "You're right Jobe, we dont know til we ask, do we?" With that she tilted her head back just slightly and called out. Her howl was a little hoarse and unpracticed but it rang out all the same.

"Now we just wait." Reaching into her pack she pulled out a piece of jerky, sticking it in her mouth she started to gather some foliage for her companions.
