Fayne Gremory is a former member of New Dawn and current member of AniWaya. She is the mother of two daughters, Krys Sawtooth and Yuna Gremory, by her former mate Noah Sawtooth. Fayne is now the mate of Altair Amarok, who fathered her most recent litter: Brinan Amarok and Marsali Amarok. She is normally calm and shy, unless provoked, then she sometimes has a sharp tongue and might pick fights she can't handle.

2.  Personality

Fayne was once quite naive and isolated from the world. She has now experienced the good (falling in love with Noah, becoming mother of two daughters, Krys and Yuna, becoming a respected healer) and the bad (being attacked and tortured by Amy, Noah dissolving her mateship and being taken hostage by his nephew Liam, falling into the throes of alcoholism). She is struggling to reclaim her old personality and dignity, although she fears she may have damaged her relationship with her daughters and her reputation in the pack beyond repair. She misses her friends Palaydrian and Sky, and gave serious consideration to leaving New Dawn to be with them. However, she was ultimately uncomfortable with adopting a "human" lifestyle, and is trying to fix herself rather than run away from her problems.

Fayne has strong opinions about everything, though she knows how to hold her tongue in most situations. She can get a bit mouthy if she's being talked down to. She holds herself highly, and proudly, but there is always a lingering self-consciousness within her that only those who know her well see. Over the seasons she's grown a feeling of uselessness but that never dampens her determination to better herself. She is maternal toward all puppies, and considers her own daughters a blessing she would give her life to protect. She can be rather quick to trust and generally believes everyone has innate goodness. Though, when it comes to protecting those she loves she'll go to any length and can become quite aggressive when she feels threatened. She mourns the deaths of her friends Tharin, Jiva, Augustus, and Adonia, and the disappearance of Noah.

She has a small voice, but usually very kind to those who treat her with equal kindness. Her inexperience is where most of her doubt comes from and she has a lot to learn. She has the weight of the world on her shoulders, as she feels that others' problems are her own and she tries hard to help wherever needed, and hide whatever pain it brings her beneath a smile. Her pride is her vice. She has trouble knowing when she should back down or accept help. She can be rather reckless both with her actions and her words and this lands her into trouble every now and then. If you get to know her, you'll see that she's a fireball of ambition with a will of iron.

2014

After the loss of her first mate, her fall from grace, Fayne slowly rebuilt herself into a somewhat confident healer. She went about her business, helping her packmates through several tragedies, including a loss in a wildfire, and Raeka Damaichu's litter, as well as a hunt to stop a large grizzly bear from posing a danger to their pack. In April of 2014, one of her young packamtes, Altair Amarok, confessed feelings for her, however she suggested as gently as she could that he should find someone his own age. Shortly after, she started wondering if she had made a mistake. In the middle of her wondering, her sister, Piper Dae arrived at the pack, and Fayne was happy to spend time with her again, including a conversation that helped her realize that she was possibly not too old for Altair and that she deserved to find love again. The only issue this left was the fact that he was not a Luperci and did not want to be one.

Piper did not remain in New Dawn for long, although Fayne was not surprised when she left to be with a male she had recently met and became mates with. Still, she was sad and a little angry that her sister was once again leaving her, but life returned to how it had been before that, with Fayne teaching those who wanted to learn and helping those who needed it. Along the way, she found herself looking forward to the little gifts of prey Altair left her and finally admitted to herself that she indeed had feelings for him.

Soon after, Altair was attacked and infected, and Fayne tried not to take any joy from this, despite what it could mean for them. Afterall, she understood becoming something he did not want to be. While healing from his wounds, Altair refused to stop patrolling and so Fayne went out during a storm to search for him and bring him back to the den. On the way back, she was nearly swept away by the river. Altair saved her, shifting for the first time in the process. It was not long after that they finally had a chance to talk again and each nervously confessed feelings for the other before deciding to become mates in another new beginning for Fayne, and the new mates were promoted to Beta.

2015

On January 6, 2015, Fayne gave birth to her second litter, another that consisted of two puppies: Brinan Amarok and Marsali Amarok. The birth went smoothly and she happily began caring for her puppies. Unfortunately, this did not last long and what seemed like it was going to be a good year almost immediately plunged into darkness. Something haunted the forest and it was soon determined to be the ghost of an orca that the pack had killed previously. Many pack members became sick, including Fayne, and she was forced to miss some important stages in her puppies' lives in order to help save her packmates. Lucia cared for them in the meantime when it seemed that the sickness could somehow pass from canine to canine.

The Orca's Bane took their leader, Zalen, who was discovered at the bottom of a cliff. While the disease itself was not fatal, it caused hallucinations and Zalen ended up falling over the edge. The weather seemed to mourn with them, and floods came to New Dawn's lands. They weathered this together as best they could.

The mourning process ended with Raeka stepping down from her leadership role, and Kiara Amarok ascending. Fayne did not like this. What business did an Omega have being a leader? She said nothing, though, because she was Altair's mother and the pack needed any stability it could get. Fayne formed an alliance of sorts with Veyra, each with the goal of keeping the pack together and protected as both were skeptical of Kiara's ability to lead.

In the end, it did not matter. Anathema attacked. They came in the night with a surprise attack, apparently under the assumption that New Dawn had one of their members, Pride Tormenta in their pack lands, which was a false belief. They swept through the pack, and New Dawn fought back as best they could. Fayne's younger children and Yuna fled with Lucia while Krys stayed and fought at her side. Tsytsaki and several others died in the attack. The pack scattered in the aftermath, although many regrouped in Vinatta. Fayne was relieved to find that her family was alive after arriving with Altair and his mother, who was severely injured.

While Fayne's wounds were relatively light, Altair and Kiara took much longer to heal. They were reeling from the loss of their home, which did not help the healing process. Fayne eventually decided that they needed to find a new home, one that would allow them to continue to honor their roots as natural wolves, but she did not know of any packs that were not humanized. Claudius Aston of AniWaya visited Vinatta, inviting everyone to a festival in his pack. Fayne, Krys, and Yuna went along with Ezra Vahn. She was intrigued by the pack, and when Altair was healed, they decided to try make their new home there.
