(Body Lineart (c) Jordan.)

Name: Lightning

Gender: Female

Age: 3 Years Old

Breed: Grey Wolf

Personality: Lightning is not exactly friendly to others, and is usually quiet. She will easily get frustrated and angry, and she loves fighting. Lightning lives up to her name....she's faster than lightning, and can jump at least 30 yards up into the air. Many wolves envy her for her jumping talent, and she is glad she is unique like that. She hates dogs and doesn't accept wolfdogs, either. Lightning is very strong and fast. She can't run long distances, though, so if you want to attack her, the best way to make her weak is to get her tired from running. Because of that, she sucks at playing tag. :P She is usually very sarcastic, too, and when you get her in a good mood, she might praise you or actually talk to you without growling at you.

History: She left her pack when she was a year old. Her father was brutal and neglected her, and her mother hated her because of her fur, so her mother ignored her, usually. Lightning hated the mistreatment, so she ran away. She loved to have freedom, and the feeling of the wind going through her fur felt great. Lightning taught herself how to fight and hunt, and she became very dangerous to fight, and 9 out of 10 of her hunts were successful. One day, she met a male named Tristen, another loner. She was almost 2 years old at that time, but she didn't want a mate yet. He led her to his pack, and she got accepted into his pack. She was one of the best in the pack, and one day, the alpha female got murdered. No one knows who killed her, and they found her body in the middle of the river, blood flowing out of her throat.

The alpha male never got over his mate's death, and he, eventually, caught an illness, Before he died, he told his most loyal beta who the knew leaders would be, then he passed away. The beta made the announcement straight after. The pack was shocked and sad to hear that their alpha male had died. Then, the beta announced the names of the new leaders. It was Lightning and Tristen. Lightning was surprised but pleased at this honor. Tristen hung his head, and then Lightning realized they would have to be mates. She didn't like the sound of that, but she had to go along with it. She loved having the power to boss others around, and if they protested or refused, she could punish them. To her, it was great.

When she was 3 years old, Tristen came back from a patrol with a dark grey female with him. Lightning had been laying on a ledge over the alphas den, but as soon as she saw the stranger, she leaped off the ledge and padded swiftly towards them. Tristen told her that the female needed a pack, and that she would be a good hunter and fighter. Lightning paused, then nodded grudgingly. It was spring, but the prey hadn't returned to it's normal amounts yet, so they needed good hunters and fighters. The female's name was Ivy, and she was glad to join the pack. She glanced at Lightning, and her expression clearly asked what her name was. "I'm Lightning." Lightning said bluntly. Turning around, she leaped back onto the ledge from where she was standing.

The next few days were not so well for Lightning. Ivy was now the best hunter and fighter in the pack, and had ranked Lightning second best instead of 1st. Lightning felt jealous, and she constantly got mad at Ivy, snarling at her when she did something wrong, and scolding her furiously when Ivy made a joke. One day, when Ivy was playing with the pups, Lightning warned her off with a snarl, blocking her way from the pups. Ivy lashed out a paw, which caught Lightning on the side of the face and knocked her over. Lightning let out a furious howl, and charged at Ivy. "Bring it on, wolfdog." She hissed, rage in her eyes.

Lightning and Ivy fought each other angrily, and at some point Ivy kicked Lightning in the stomach so hard that Lightning felt like her belly had been ripped open. She fell down, clutching her belly in pain. Ivy was about to bite her  when Tristen ended the fight. "Enough!" He snarled at them. Lightning got back to her paws and bared her teeth at Ivy, but Tristen blocked her way. "Enough." He repeated forcefully. Lightning narrowed her eyes, and she tackled him into the snow. In less than 10 seconds, he had injured her throat and belly, and had her pinned down in the snow. "Get out." He growled at Lightning, and got off of her. The betas and warriors of the pack came rushing at their former alpha, snarling and nipping her. Lightning took a step back, then raced off. Right before she vanished, she flashed a look of hatred at Ivy, and she ran out of the territory.

Lightning's injuries felt worse the next morning. She lay down in the river to let the water soothe her wounds, and it helped, but they still ached when she moved her muscles. She decided that she should rest so she would heal, and she settled near the town of Nome. A few days later, she collided with a black husky named Steele. She automatically growled at him, because he was a dog, and she got mad when he started to flirt with her. She shoved him backwards into the snow and ran off. But Steele would follow her scent and do everything in his power to make her like him, and she swore that if he tried it again, she would kill him. The next day, Steele saw Lightning close to the town and ran up to her. He had Nikki, Star and Kaltag with him. Lightning snarled when he came near. He started to flirt, which was no surprise, and she tackled him, biting his throat. She beat him up and ran away quickly. Nikki, Star and Kaltag started laughing at Steele, who started to complain that he was beaten by a girl.

A few days later, Lightning came across two wolves. She crouched down low and growled at them. The bigger of the two, a brown and white male with a blue streak under his eyes, snarled, "Wanna fight then, well all right!" and charged at her. Lightning leaped over him and landed on all four paws, and she turned swiftly to face him. She leaped at him, but the male dodged quickly. They fought for awhile, until both of them were too out of breath to continue their fight. "Your pretty good," the male said, still panting. He straightened himself up. "I've got to hand it to you, I've never been out of breath in a fight before." He added, looking at her. "Well, your not the only one who can stand their own." Lightning said with a roll of her eyes. The second wolf, smaller than the male she had just fought, padded up to them. The two males started to walk away. Then Lightning noticed something on the ground. It was a collar with a crystal, and she remembered the other male wearing it. But they were too far away for her to call. She grabbed it in her jaws and ran off.

The next morning, Lightning came down to the river. She put the collar on the ground, and she glanced around for any sign of the two males. She huffed in frustration because their scents were stale and there was no sign of them. She lowered her head to lap up some of the river's water, but a voice behind her stopped her. "Looking for something?" Lightning whipped around, bearing her teeth, then saw it was the male she had fought, and she relaxed slightly. "Yeah," She said. "You." The male looked confused, so she added, "I was looking for you to give this back." She nudged the collar towards him. "Oh...thanks." He said, and grabbed it.

The next day, Lightning asked the male, whose name was Demon, if she could join him and his brother. He let her in, and he told her about his past. She could tell that he hated his father by the way he spoke about him. She told him about her life before she got banished from her pack after he was done. She hid the anger she felt when she talked about the wolfdog, Ivy, she had fought. A few days later, the small pack went hunting while the moon was as bright as it could get. Lightning saw that Demon and his brother had powers, and she was surprised. After they had eaten, Demon led Lightning to a small cavern, where the moon seemed so close that you could touch it. "This is my favorite place." Demon said, looking at it. "Wow, it's beautiful..." Lightning said, taking in the sights of the moon. Demon glanced at her. "It only comes second in my eyes," He said. "Your first." Lightning's eyes widened in shock. "....Really?" She asked, and he nodded. "Yes." He said. She surprised him by nuzzling him, which he returned. A few days after that they became mates.
