• Room 2F20, Government Estate, Sapient
• Also occupied by: Vepar Creo, Sully, Skana’s NPCs may also be found here
  • Previously also occupied Asura Creo and Saleos Creo

Owned previously by Skana’s old mentor, Ciellen Loreath, it was only natural that Skana would choose the large, spacious, second-story room. With windows facing out towards the front of the Estate, the room has a lot of natural light to it. Drapes have been added for additional privacy for the room’s occupants, however. There is little in way of furniture due to its occupants having lived relatively feral lives before coming to Sapient.

Skana and her mate, Sully, have their bed furs on one side of the room while Skana’s brother, Vepar, sleeps in the opposite side. Timbers have been piled for a simple division and sectioning of the room’s occupants. Vepar’s side takes up a noticeably less amount of space than the couple, and is largely bare save for a rack for his weapons and a small table.

One corner is specifically dedicated to Skana and her medicinal work. A small bookshelf filled with various pieces Skana has scavenged from her travels or from the pack library lines a wall on her side of the room. A table and Luperci-made cabinetry are filled with a multitude of herbs in various stages of use, drying, or studying. Her tools and other materials are kept neatly away in a separate, Luperci-made cabinet.

• Sherwood Neighborhood (Falconwood division), Charlottetown, Midnight Shores
• Also occupied by: Asura Creo, Saleos Creo, Vepar Creo, Sully, sometimes Malus Reinhart, Skana’s NPCs

An old, family home built of brick and accented with hand-crafted wood. The residence has been reclaimed by nature, and, living on the outskirts of the division, is somewhat isolated from the other houses. A multitude of different trees, brush, and other forest plants hide the home from plain sight. A small, running stream can be found within a few hundred yards of it.

The house itself is comprised of two stories, with a turret located on its front right corner and a small, roofed porch on its back. The floors throughout the house are mostly wood; areas of new wood can be seen where repairs were made. The windows are mostly intact, either having survived the age of time, or, having been replaced; others that were unsalvageable were turned into shutters to allow open access to the outdoors or for easy come-and-go access for the birds. Overall though, the house is in decent shape for its age, protected from storms and heavy winds by the surrounding forest.

The first floor showcases a living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room (connected to the turret), a dilapidated kitchen, a guest bedroom, and a gutted bathroom. The second floor is where most of the bedrooms may be found, there being three in total. The master bedroom is the largest, and is connected to the turret. There is also a large, open room—presumably once a play or game room—located at the top of the stairs, and from which splits off into the various individual rooms. Two bathrooms also occupied the second floor, but have been gutted, and have been turned into storage areas or areas of roost for the birds.

Within eyesight of the house is a roomy, dug out den beneath a large, sturdy pine tree. Skana dug this out when she became pregnant with her first litter, and occupied it during the children’s first few months of life. Once the children grew older though, the den was used as a “hideout” of sorts for their childhood fantasies and fun.

The birds, Thanos, Peck, Thistle, Thorn, and Bird, roost in the various trees outside of the home or in the house, and often enter through one of the open windows/shutters. On occasion, one might noticed a few skewered animals within range of the house, a macabre habit done by the two shrikes, Thistle and Thorn.

• Tower One, Blackmoor Castle, Anathema
• Also occupied by: Vepar Creo, Malus Reinhart, Skana’s NPCs, Peck and Thanos

With the topmost level condemned, tower one only has two habitable floors with a spiral staircase connecting them. The first floor is used mainly as a sitting room while the second level is used as a bedroom, divided more or less equally between Vepar and Skana. The first floor is sparsely furnished and features a small fire pit Vepar constructed out of flat stones. The second level is halfway divided by a makeshift wall of timbers and each side has a pile of fabric and furs that serve as a bed for each sibling.

• Small Family Den #1, Howling Caverns, Anathema
• Also occupied by: Vepar Creo

A large cave with three extra connecting smaller rooms. The main room functions largely as a meeting and gathering area where a deep depression in the center of the room has been turned into a makeshift fire pit flanked by a handful of log "chairs" and a pile of firewood. The two rooms at the back belong to Vepar and Skana while the room at the front is used for storage. Vepar and Skana's rooms each hold a pile of furs, hides, and sheets for sleeping on.

Skills & Abilities

• True to his species, Thanos is a silent hunter, and a good one at that. It is rare that he loses anything he sets his sights on, and has been known to vindictively go after the babies of his natural predators/competitors for food
• This owl is crepuscular, being most active during twilight/dusk; however, he has been known to be active during night time, and to a lesser degree, during peak daylight hours
• Having lived amongst Luperci since his youth, Thanos capable of broken High-Speech
  • His voice is deep, raspy, and with a slight shriek, making it frightening to anyone not expecting it or unable to see him
• He has been used for scouting and patrolling purposes, and thanks to his coloration and silent flying, he is ideal for tracking something without being noticed

Personality:

Since the death of his mate, Thanos’ personality has drastically changed. He is very cynical and distrusting, often doubtful of others and sarcastic in nature. One is given only one chance with him, as he is frustratingly stubborn and unforgivable. First impressions are everything. He is not a creature known for his kindness or mercy outside of the affection he gives to Skana.

With Skana, one is able to see the raptor’s softer side. He is very affectionate to her, treating her almost as if she were another owl. He brings her food and helps her with various tasks. He jokes with her, though, his humor is often quite dark and there are times when it is unclear whether he is being serious or joking. Thanos is highly protective of Skana, and is not above attacking someone if he feels they are a threat to her. As well, Skana is the only person who seems to have any control over him. Thanos will obey those of her immediate family as well, and has shown a protectiveness over her two children.

He is a master at ambush, renowned and feared through the territory’s smaller fauna for his species’ silent ways of killing. He is very intimidating because of his size and deadly talons. Thanos is highly intelligent, having lived with a luperci since his egg days, and is not easily frightened or fooled by their ways like a normal bird might.

He gets into feuds with Peck, and often threatens to eat the smaller bird. He has no intention to follow through with these threats though, simply enjoying the power he has over the grackle.

History:

The owl is a native to the Western Tangles. His parents, royalty of the Great Horned Owls who ruled their particular vast stretch of territory, were companions of a lone, elderly coywolf named Ylva Creed. He was taught High Speech at a very young age, and was raised as a companion to the luperci amongst a flock of other birds and animals. The older woman eventually grew sick, and no amount of herbs or medicines could save her fragile body. The young prince grew to inherit his parents' grand expanse when they became old, and chose to remain close to the dying Ylva in her final days. When the luperci came to pass, his parents followed soon after in their own grief. Thanos ruled his crown with an older, more experienced female named Theoren. She was his queen, his empress, his everything. They had been happy together, and raised many successful offspring.

Thanos lost his crowned jewel though in the vicious, sudden rains that swept and flooded Nova Scotia in the spring of 2015. A powerful wind had knocked a neighboring tree into their home, causing the two birds to panic and take flight from the safety of their nest. Theoren was struck down by a stray branch from the fallen tree. Thanos himself was clipped by the obstacle, and only just managed to come out unscathed. Skana found him and nursed his broken soul and bruised body back to full health. He has since taken to the luperci, and has vowed his service to her for what she did, and for giving his late queen a proper burial.

Skills & Abilities

• He understands a few key words of High-Speech; he can be given commands if they're simple and straight-forward enough
  • Names : can associate names with individuals/items if given enough exposure
  • Ex. Find/Search, Stay/Go, Give/Get, No/Yes, Bad/Good, Stop, Leave it, etc.
• Peck has been used for scouting and patrolling, and can lead a Luperci to a location or "warn" them of something dangerous nearby
• Has been used to help find unique plants, though, if he is not given a specific plant (via visual) to search for, what he finds can vary from useless, to helpful, to harmful

Personality:

A rather quirky little thing, Peck is often something that brings out a good laugh in anyone. He can be friendly, playful, and affectionate, but, every now and then, something will set him off and he will become a jerk. He likes to puff up his feathers a lot, be it in a defensive display or—as Skana puts it—his cheeky attitude. Like his namesake, Peck has also been known to peck an individual when they do something he doesn’t like…or simply because he feels like it. He likes shiny and brightly colored items, but is relatively cautious around new things. He is a glutton for food, something that led him to become a companion to the Creo siblings. Around Skana, he’s very talkative.

He does not like Thanos, having grown up to be fearful of the predatory bird. His instincts often get the better of him despite having come to understand that the owl won’t hurt him. He is quick to flee if spooked, but, has been known to pester the raptor whenever given the opportunity.

History:

The avian came to be a familiar to Skana through her older brother, Vepar. Vepar had noticed the curious avian constantly shadowing the two around meals. Through some sympathetic handouts and acting calmly around the bird, Vepar had befriended him. The grackle has since become a tag-along of the duo’s travels, and always seems to find them even after a being apart for days, sometimes even weeks or months at a time. Peck is by no means “tame,” as he does and goes where he pleases. But, he does seem to like the siblings though, and has come to see them as an odd sort of extension to his flock. He has been known to try and warn them of potential dangers, and land on them as well. Skana likes Peck, and is secretly happy that her brother took pity on him, particularly because Peck seems to bring out her brother’s softer side.

Personality:

Mean, picky, particular, and vindictive, Thistle is not a bird many would want to deal with. She is a proud little thing, as well as very bold in her actions. There is little that will scare Thistle off and not have her coming back for some sort of perceived justice for being wronged. She is very aggressive as well, seen most when she hunts and when she puts her mind to a particular task. She is not a creature that will break at the slightest sign of an obstacle. Curiously, despite her very coarse nature, Thistle does have a soft side towards her mate, Thorn. She loves to be fussed over by him, and finds great pleasure in his acts to appease her. "Decorating" their territory is a favorite hobby of hers.

History:

Thistle and Thorn had ventured to Nova Scotia for the winter, and were eventually found and befriended by Skana in 2016. Thistle took it upon herself to ready the then-pregnant mother for her future "chicks," proceeding to stay with Skana's family and watch over her children in the year that followed. While she and her mate, Thorn, found life very easy living with the family, once spring returned in 2017, inspired by the growth of Skana's pups, the pair decided to head back to their home territory in Northern Canada and raise a brood of their own.

Personality:

Chipper, crafty, and a clown, Thorn is quite a lovable little thing. Many could joke that he might have been a songbird in his past life with how uncharacteristically friendly he is towards others. He enjoys getting love and affection, but, so too, does he enjoy giving it as well. He dotes on his mate, Thistle, and will go out of his way to preen her feathers, shower her with food, and spend countless hours rearranging their "decorations" around the territory to suit her liking. While a rather jolly little bird, Thorn is not a coward. He will viciously (though, to a much lesser degree than Thistle) protect his territory, kills, and Thistle from competitors in the area.

Skills & Abilities

• Rider-trained
• Ability and experience in pulling carts and moving heavy loads

Personality:

Even-tempered, calm, and unshakable, Muddy boasts a surprising personality for an intact stallion. He has been around Luperci for nearly all of his life and is rather used to their movements and forms, and, is thus, not easily spooked by them. However, he does maintain some of his natural fear of canines though, and if approached in a certain way while in Lupus/Secui form, Muddy may bolt or attack. Muddy is well known for his willingness to work, and one may even say he enjoys having a "job" to do. He is very good for new riders, and is, unsurprisingly, a very easy horse to work with despite his rather large size. He seems to know his power and size, and it is rare for him to accidentally step on someone.

History:

His full history is not known to Skana, however, she does know that Muddy was an established work animal of Midnight Shores, where Skana was a member. When the pack was disbanded in the winter of 2016, Skana took Muddy with her as her personal mount while many of his stablemates were either given to then-members or given to Casa di Cavalieri or Sapient. He was taken with Skana to Sapient, where he's become more of her daughter's horse than Skana's.

• While a communal animal in Cercatori d'Arte, he was bred with Casa di Cavalieri’s mare, Tupelo, in 2013, resulting in a colt named Shasta.

The result of an abusive relationship, Skana’s start to life was not one without strife. Her father was a notoriously abusive rogue male by the name of Vidar Creo. Ever the deceiver, he would be the seemingly harmless, conveniently “in the area,” gentlemanly loner. In actuality, if he saw something that he wanted, he took it in whatever manner possible. Females were something that never failed to catch this monster’s ever insatiable, lustful gaze, and Skana’s mother, a beautiful and kind young wolfdog named Naama Laveau, was only one of many that had the misfortune to catch Vidar’s eye.

Vidar had lured Naama and her elderly parents into his poisonous game, and, by night, had killed off her parents and forced her into remaining in his…care. Any attempts of escape were futile against her enslaver. Not only was he strong, but he was persistent, and a talented tracker and hunter. Attempted escape would only assure his upmost wrath, and when she was already abused physically and mentally on a daily basis, it simply wasn’t worth the effort or mental strain. So, unable to escape Vidar’s clutches, it was of no surprise that Naama soon found herself with pups a few months after their regretful meeting. Skana’s older twin brothers, Vepar and Valac, were the first litter Naama bore to Vidar.

Vepar was the only pup of the two to survive though, and, while Vidar tended to kill many of his illegitimate—imperfect—offspring, he saw something in Vepar. Vidar granted Naama the privilege to keep his son, but also regularly took the child away from her. When Vepar had become old enough to leave his mother’s side, Vidar had made sure that it was his company that the boy spent most of his time with. Vepar quickly grew to hate Vidar for who he was and for the abuse he regularly inflicted on Naama. So, when Naama became pregnant once more, Vepar had made every intention to liberate them from their captor.

When the signs of a potentially violent storm began its slow approach on the horizon, Vepar saw his chance. Using his favor with his father to his advantage, Vepar had managed to give his mother and him the break they needed to escape from Vidar’s ever watchful gaze and slip away into the night. The pregnant mother and her son managed to escape Vidar thanks to the storm obscuring any route they may have taken, but they were ever mindful to keep a wary eye over their shoulders. Vidar was not known for giving up, and if he found them, there would be hell to pay. Skana came into the world with her sister, Calypso, not long after Vepar and Naama’s escape, but, unfortunately, Calypso did not live to draw more than a few breaths before passing away.

While Vepar took on the role as the family’s provider and protector, Naama raised Skana as best she could. She tried to teach Skana to be more civilized, something she had wanted to teach Vepar, but never got the chance due to Vidar. Skana’s ever inquisitive, young mind allowed her to absorb the basic, fundamental scribbles her mother scrawled into the dirt, and it wasn’t long before she was taught how to put the words with the basic sounds and words she spoke every day. And, after seeing her mother patch up some of Vepar’s mild wounds, it wasn’t long before little Skana was trying to mimic her there as well. Any attempt at making Skana more modernized stopped there though.

At twelve weeks of age, another great storm like the one that Vepar and Naama had used to escape Vidar separated Skana and Vepar from their mother. The two siblings searched for their mother high and low, but were unable to find any sign of her. Skana was distraught when her brother slowly began to stop looking for their mother, and was at odds with him before he explained to her that they weren’t really giving up. Nova Scotia was their heading, the last place the family had been steadily heading towards before they were separated. Their mother would be at the end of the road. She would be there. She had to.

Vepar took on the added responsibility of raising young Skana, teaching her how to shift, raising her to be self-sufficient, and be able to fight whatever odds Fate threw at them. It was a rough, trying, childhood for Skana, but with her brother at her side, she managed to live through it. She kept up with what little skills her mother had managed to teach her before their untimely departure, ever aware that such seemingly useless abilities could prove useful to them at any point in their travels. When she became old enough to assist him, Skana was eager to become something more than another hungry mouth to feed. The two siblings battled on, and, slowly but surely, they made their way to Nova Scotia. Somewhere in these lands, Skana hopes that they will find their mother.

2013
Skana was carried into the new land on the back of her brother, dead-tired from their endless traveling, but refusing to rest. Vepar arranged for the two to be taken in under the care of the Sangi'lak wolves, a peaceful clan, and the first pack the two siblings had ever met in their lifetime. The siblings replenished their health under the protection of the pack, and had their bellies full for the duration of their stay. When the pack was in the proceedings of a great move though, Skana decided to do a bit of adventuring on her own, resulting into the two siblings going their separate ways for the first time.

The young she-wolf met many acquaintances along the way. She met up with the distraught and grief-stricken mother, Tayui Aston, who thought Skana was an enemy wolf to the pack, Vinátta. Skana was able to prove her innocence though, and learned that a villainous individual was preying on innocent children. Moving on, she learned of a woman-exalted culture from the friendly, though submissive, fellow named Hugleikr Silfr. On the search for her brother, Skana learned how to make leather from deerskin from a pleasant loner named Chardonnay Chartreuse, and, even learned the basics of tattooing from the guarded and ritualistic stranger, Leon Bloodmane.

2014
As winter came, Skana took a turn for the worse. Having never been alone for so long, the enjoyment of it had lost its luster. She missed her brother and his company, but with no sign of him anywhere, she had fallen off course. She stumbled upon a sophisticated loner by the name of Judas. He offered her to share his fire during a bad snow storm, and, later, offered to help her find her brother. Desperate and ecstatic to hear this, Skana agreed to help Judas in return, following him to find his friends in Halifax. Unbeknownst to her, it was a trap.

Judas knocked her unconscious before they ever reached the vacant city, and then proceeded to become a living nightmare for the naively trusting Skana. Bound, Skana was in no position to fight her abuser. He marched her to an old abandoned hunting shack, where he continued his curious inquiries. Judas tortured her, slicing open her palms when she didn’t answer his questions or gave him an answer he didn’t like. When she chose to try ignoring him, he cut a chunk out of her right ear as punishment. When Skana chose to take a more violent route, Judas made her quickly change her tune by cutting her deeply just above where her heart would be. Skana eventually passed out from the pain.

When she came to, Judas was nowhere to be found, having left long before she returned to the world of the living. Skana managed to escape her bindings, no longer prevented from such now that her tormentor was gone, and slowly but surely nursed herself back to health. Being a lone wolf though posed its problems, and life was much harder now that she was sporting injuries. Pursuit hunting was out of the question during her early days, and Skana had to resort to using coursing and trapping techniques.

A month after her attack, she was found by her brother, Vepar after a failed hunting attempt. The two siblings discussed their journeys thus far, and Skana tentatively revealed Judas’ attack to him. Vepar recommended she join his pack, Anathema, which she did the following day, meeting Panda Behr and her mate, Venom Trombetta, at the pack’s borders. Her joining gifts were a pair of elk antlers still attached to the mighty animal’s head, as well as a makeshift bag of venison made from the animal’s own hide. Kentaro Lykoi was later called, and accepted Skana into his pack.

Skana has since tried her best to integrate herself into the pack atmosphere, though has been reasonably reluctant to let her guard down after her attack. After letting her settle in a little bit, Vepar gifted Skana with a seal-skin satchel full of medical supplies, and later introduced her to her temporary mentor, Ciellen Loreath. The two worked as apprentice and mentor for a few weeks before Ciellen and Skana split ways.

The silver she-wolf followed her pack as Anathema chose to move south, having become surrounded by their enemies in their old home. She stayed close to her brother’s side after the move, and was reluctant to stray too far from her sense of security.

2015
She began to become more independent of Vepar after attending her first Rast in celebration of Lithia Napier and Tzila Napier’s coming of age. Skana then met Bridget Rhiannon, one of the pack’s few healing-field of study wolves. Their conversation sparked Skana’s desire to pursue the rank of Furcas. She became further acquainted with Lithia, Kentaro and his children, Axelle Napier, Itzal, Nyx, and Lukos. The spring floods of 2015 earned her the companionship of a Great Horned Owl named Thanos, whom she nursed back to health in both the physical and mental sense. Further pack interactions were made with Nyx—who was becoming to be something of a friend to Skana—as well as with Kentaro’s daughter, Evangeline Lykoi.

Skana began to venture more outside of the pack once she became confident in herself once more. She met Veri Secanti and her adopted son during a medicinal run near Casa di Cavalieri, Cahan Leath-Rana, whom she found gravely injured during an exploration expedition, the familiar face of Chardonnay Chartreuse while exploring near Rabbit Lake, was saved by an exotic and slightly crazy coyjack named Daeva Lykoi, and was accosted by a curious and devious coyote called Liir Altav only days after the event with the first Infernian, Daeva.

When her brother found out of her recent adventures, and how close Skana had become to becoming a victim once again, he temporarily banned her from leaving the pack without another Anatheman with her. Skana was reasonably outraged by the loss of her freedom, but heeded to the older sibling’s request. She attended a social party headed by Lukos and Nyx, and adventured Yarmouth with Theron Caine.

In July of 2015, Kentaro called for the group of loners that had been on-and-off again harassing Anathema to be captured. Skana and Vepar participated in their seizure, but were reluctant to participate in the events that followed. Kentaro saw to use the five rogues for amusement purposes, and allowed members of Anathema to fight them in an arena fight in the amphitheater. Skana held the prisoners of little regard out of loyalty to her pack, but, generally felt pity on them for their situation. She became close with the rogue group’s leader, Malus Reinhart, and saw to save him from death and possible maltreatment by one of her peers. She volunteered to fight him in an arena fight, and won, claiming him as a personal slave. Skana nursed the loner back to health, and the two became more comfortable with one another as their time together increased. While her brother, Vepar, did not approve or like the slave, he did allow Skana to keep him, if only for her opinions on the Reinhart.

Shortly after the Summer Solstice festival, Skana ventured out to replenish Anathema’s reserves, only to find herself helping out a handicapped male named Jehan de L'Or and his undisciplined ward, Clover. Skana clinical skills were also extended to fellow packmate, Axelle, who needed assistance in overcoming a traumatic experience. The encounter led to Skana pursuing the Psychiatra co-rank.

August of 2015 brought about a war that the silver Creo wished she had never been a part of. When a member of Anathema was allegedly said to be in trouble, the pack took rash actions to come to her aide. Believing it a just cause—although lacking in information and details—Skana and Malus were part of the group that set out to recover Pride Tormenta. In the end, Skana found herself forced to fight a frightened teen, Marius Damaichu. The aftermath led to the destruction of the feral pack, New Dawn. The unnecessary conflict caused Skana to question Anathema, its morals, and its leadership. Since her joining of the pack, it was the first time Skana was conflicted with her loyalty to Anathema.

Upon returning to the safety of the pack territory, Skana found herself restless and strove for a distraction. She convinced Vepar to explore the Ethereal Eclipse with her, and was reunited with Daeva. Days later, Skana offered her assistance and expertise to the promising prince, Greed Lykoi, and took the boy out on a hunt with her. She and Vepar later attended the royal children’s Rast, to which further put a rift in Skana’s conflicting feelings about Anathama.

The mysterious and unexplained disappearance of pack member, Itzal, in September of 2015 took a heavy toll on the pack, and, after a little over a month of looking, the search was called off. Skana felt the guilt of her past actions against New Dawn and her latest inadequacy in finding their missing pack member to be too great, and expressed to her brother, Vepar, that she agreed that they should leave Anathema. She freed her slave, Malus, the night before the siblings left. They left quietly and without a goodbye in early-November of 2015, not wanting to cause a scene, and told only Axelle of their departure.

Vepar’s friend, Sully joined them as they traveled north in search of a new place to call “home.” Malus found the group not long after his departure from Anathema, and asked to be able to join them on their journeys. Initially denied by Vepar, Skana convinced her brother, and the ex-slave became part of their misfit, traveling party. Along the way, they bumped into the Infernian, Daeva, once again, and were helped by Akantha Amaranthe, who temporarily housed the party within Sapient in a show of hospitality. Skana, individually, met an ex-New Dawner, Callum Knight and an injured coyote named Gabriel.

Sully, eventually, was able to steer the group in the direction of Midnight Shores, where they were later accepted as members in late-November of 2015 by Esmeralda Collins. Sully and Skana’s relationship grew rapidly from the group’s almost three weeks of constant travel with one another, and the thereafter continued proximity to one another once they were accepted into Midnight Shores.

Despite knowing the pack’s rocky relationship with Anathema, Skana did her best to prove her and her brother’s standing with them, and met and befriended fellow new members, Rowtag and Bear. Skana made multiple trips back to the mainland, reuniting with Evangeline Lykoi and her ex-slave, Briston, on one such occasion.

Skana’s work ethic and activity within the pack earned her a promotion from Pollux to Cepheus.

She also participates in the hasty war against New Dawn, and is riddled with guilt when she realizes Anathema’s mission was not to retrieve a “captured” packmate as she had been told, but to destroy the feral pack entirely. She is left with unsettling feelings and is greatly ashamed by her participation—unwilling or not.
• September - October: Tries to distract herself from the previous month’s events by traveling outside the territory—where she meets an old acquaintance—and helping the young prince, Greed Lykoi. She attends her second Rast, but instead of feeling proud, has uneasy feelings by the next generation’s chosen adornments and how they came to obtain them. Pack member, Itzal goes missing, which leads to a month-long manhunt. Skana does her best to consult a distraught Axelle, but, when there is less evidence with each passing day, it becomes clear that Itzal will not be found. Earns the lieutenant medical-rank, Volac.

They traverse the Nova Scotia wilderness with friend, Sully, and are later re-joined by the freed Malus. They meet a variety of faces both new and old before finally finding themselves on Midnight Shores’ doorstep, where they are accepted by Esmeralda Collins as members. She was given the rank of Pollux.
• December: In attempt to promote good feelings in her new pack, Skana tried to interact with her new packmates.

Skana also acts as a host for a guest from Sapient, as well as helped a packmate deliver goods to Casa di Cavalieri. She runs into some old acquaintances and met a Vináttan.

She mostly keeps to her whelping den, not wanting to leave her children’s side during their early stages of life. Elsie Hennamin gifts the new mother with a blanket for the little ones. Skana’s continued activity and effort in the pack in the previous months gained her a promotion to Spica.

She is promoted to the advisory position, Antares, and is left in control of the pack when leaders, Skye Collins and Esmeralda Collins, leave to bury their loved one. When their escort party failed to return, Skana sent out search parties.
• December: With the escort party unable to be found, Skana makes the hard decision to disband the pack. She escorts half of the communal animals down to the Midnight Shores’ ally, Casa di Cavalieri, before making her way back north to join Sapient with her family. Not long after joining, Skana’s medical skills are called upon to aid the Nivosus’ daughter after a freak accident to her eye.

• January - July: As her daughter grows older and more confident with her skills, Skana’s lessons are lessened, though, she still tutors and teaches her daughter. She spends more of her time enjoying life and the thought of “retirement” with her husband. This all changes when the pack ends up disbanding in July.
