Originally? I have no idea. I played here as StarHowler about a year ago?


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


IC:

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.

He had done a lot of work on the garden today, and was satisfied to see that the potato plants had successfully survived the transfer. Soon enough the pack would have their own herbs to harvest for medicinal purposes and that made Pilot feel as if they really were starting to become an accomplished pack. It had only been weeks since their establishment, but already he was feeling good about this. Sure, the past was still very real and the wounds were fresh, but like the rest of them, Pilot was slowly moving on. And that was refreshing.



He had stopped his work awhile ago and decided to take a break and stare up into the sky. His arms stretched over his head, still stained brown from the soil, curled under his head for support as Pilot watch the sky drain of its vibrant colors. Soon it would be dark outside, and he would retreat into his den for the night. But before that, he would need to water the plants again. He took the makeshift bucket he had made and sipped some of the water, before splashing a bit onto his hands. Rubbing them together, he managed to wash away some of the fifth. He felt rather content with what he had accomplished today and was set with turning into bed. But before he could, there was something he needed to tend to.



It only took him a few minutes to make his way to the borders and when he got there, he found the owner of the voice that had raised him from his place beside his den. He rubbed his hands together, knocking away more of the dirt before crossing his arms across his chest. This wolf, whoever they were, clearly hadn’t packed light. If they were interested in joining the pack, Pilot assumed the wolf would be well prepared in settling into a new life.



"Hello there." He called, walking down towards the scent marked border. It smelled of both he and Tayui and his thoughts quickly fluttered over the day of Shadowed Sun’s establishment. "This here is Shadowed Sun territory. What business do you have here?"

OCC Sadra was raised in a 'colony' with no real hierarchy, so feel free to scold her for her lack of respect XD


IC
Opening the hatch to the cage, Sadra offered up the vegetation she had found. Most of it was simply grass but she had found a few broad leaf plants. Jobe ate straight from her hand. Honey however found it much more appealing to try and pull strands of grass out of Jobe's mouth, atleast until he grew tired of this and shoved her away. Sadra giggled at the two of them. Dropping the grasses on the cage floor, She stood up and closed the cage. Someone was coming. Running a hand over her fur, Sadra tried to make sure she was presentable. In a split second decision, she quickly removed her belt and threw it in her pack.

Seconds dragged on forever and finally She caught sight of the form that was approaching. The white of his coat stood out clearly. As he drew closer she could smell the earth on him and more notably that it was partially his scent that made up the border to the lands. Shadowed Sun, it was an interesting name but seemed fitting. His question stunned her though causing her to tilt her head to the side slightly, she thought it was quite obvious why she was here. Didnt it? Or was she suppose to be a traveling leather sales man? Im looking for a home, for me and my companions. She jutted her thumb behind her towards her cart, oblivious that the rabbits were on the opposite side and out of sight.

Not sure what to more to say, or what was expected Sadra just stood there and felt like world was staring at her. Her face felt like it was on fire and his eyes felt like ice. What was she so nervous about anyways?
