name. my name, you ask? it is suwanee. what kind of name is that you might ask? well, that is kind of a rude question, but i will explain it to you. my name means echo. my mother named me this because I am just that; an echo. i look exactly like my father, every single marking the same. so, i was called echo. well, suwanee, but it's the same thing.
alias. what do i go by? i go by suwanee. anyone who calls me different is showing great disrespect. though my loved ones are allowed to call me echo. the only living relative i have left is ciqala, so he's the only one that call me echo.
gender. um, excuse me, but that question is quite rude. i am obviously a she-wolf.
age. once again, a rude question to ask any female. but, if you must know, i am six years old.
rank. finally, you've come to an important question. i am the lead healer of this pack and i expect to be treated with respect as such. always remember, i am the one dressing your wounds and caring for you when you are sick. you do not want to get on my bad side.
personality. suwanee is a very interesting she-wolf. she is very respectful, but only to those who are also respectful to her. if you do not respect her, she won't respect you. while she can be quite loving and kind, if you get on her bad side it could end up being very dangerous. she does not stand for disrespect and will put anyone who disrespects her or the alpha in their place if he doesn't get to them first. suwanee can and will hurt anyone who shows her disrespect. she was raised as a fighter until she was four years old, so she can be very dangerous if provoked. but if you stay on her good side, she will be kind and sweet to you. this she-wolf has a few secrets. too. one of those secrets is that she is afraid of the water. she will go about two inches into the water, and she will drink of course, but she refuses to go any further in. no one knows about this and she hopes to keep it that way. another secret is that she has killed before. she keeps this fact hidden deep down inside of her and tries to keep her most dangerous side form showing too often.
crush. she has a secret crush on her alpha, marrak. she has kept her eye on him secretly from the day he joined the pack.
mate. she has no mate at the moment, though her eyes have always been for one wolf and one wolf only.
pups. she has no pups and isn't sure she wants them. this indecision comes from her past.

history. suwanee was born into this pack six years ago. her mother and father were both fighters and they were wonderful at doing just that. suwanee's litter was their last, and they payed barely any attention to the pups beside feeding them teaching them to be fighters. there were four pups in all. suwanee was the first born, then sasha, tehya, and ciqala. three she-pups and one male. suwanee usually stayed with her brother, ciqala. he was the runt and she was the first born. sasha and tehya would try to play with suwanee, but didn't want to play with ciqala, so suwanee refused to play with them. she treasured her brother, always staying by his side and protecting him from those who picked on him. she also taught him to swim with her, since her parents had begun to show interest in her two sisters and not her and ciqala. when the pups were about six months old, they actually started playing together, all four of them. their favorite place to play was by the river. they would spend hours playing by the river, practicing and play fighting. they did this for a while, but then, one day, they tried to cross the river. they had found a fallen log a little ways down river and were playing around on it, seeing who was the bravest. it was sasha's idea to go all the way across, and she went first. suwanee went second, ciqala third, and tehya last. what they didn't realize was that the log was not sturdy on the shore. when all of them were about half way across, the log bobbed in the current and came loose from the shore. with several yelps and howls, all four pups fell into the river. sasha was hit in the head by the log and killed instantly. tehya was swept down river, as was suwanee and ciqala. ciqala wasn't the greatest swimmer, and suwanee was the best out of the four pups. she grabbed her brother by the scruff, panicking and forgetting about her sister. they hit a sharp rock and ciqala cut his hip badly on the rock's side. suwanee lost her grip of her brother when they hit the rock and howled as loudly as she could. within moments, her parents were swimming after them. her mother caught tahya by the scruff and brought her to shore. suwanee's father tried to grab her, but she wiggled out of the way to save ciqala. when she had her brother by the scruff, she struggled in the fast water. her father once again grabbed for her and this time he got her, getting both her and ciqala to shore. the two pups shivered and huddled together, looking for tehya. suwanee spotted her first, wet and still, with their mother whimpering and nuzzling tehya. tehya's name meant precious, and she had been the favorite to their mother. suwanee approached her mother and the she-wolf had growled, scaring suwanee and ciqala both.
about two years after sasha and tehya died, suwanee officially became a fighter. her brother had taken to a healer's position thanks to the long jagged scar on his right hip and leg he had acquired in the river. the injury had given him a heavy limp, so he could no longer fight or hunt. but he was still a valuable member of the pack, as he memorized every herb he came across. suwanee was a vicious fighter, and she would show off her skills whenever possible. the true moment she showed her full talent was the night her father got sick. he was foaming at the mouth and being very aggressive. the thought of what she had to do almost killed her, but she did it anyway. she rid the pack of the danger, as her job was to do. with each swift dodge she made and each deep bite, she cried in her thoughts. but, this wolf was no longer her father, he was a danger to the pack and he didn't know her anymore. and so, she killed him. near the river where she had almost died and where he had saved her, she killed him. it broke her heart to do so and it also broke her heart that she didn't let anyone know about it. she made it look like he had been attacked by a bear, and she left his body by the river. no one, not even ciqala knows of this. this is what made her choose to become lead healer. it also had to do with the fact that her mother died of starvation because of what suwanee had done. and so, she became lead healer, with her brother a healer alongside her.
