History: Lusa was Niju’s younger sister. They were both born in a den not too far from Nava’s territory, but at a young age, their parents disappeared. Nobody knew what happened to them — whether they abandoned their cubs, or got killed by hunters, or something else was a question that would never be answered. Lusa was traumatized by the sudden disappearance of her parents, and this would change the way she looked at things forever. To make matters worse, Niju dealt with the situation through anger, becoming increasingly aggressive.

    One day, a pack leader named Nava found the two pups fending for themselves and brought them to his pack. There, they spent time with the other puppies. Niju stuck close to three omegas named Nuk, Yak, and Sumac, while Lusa kind of just spent time by herself, or with Nava, who was her father figure. She often got bullied by Niju and his little clan, but Nava defended her. As they got older, food was starting to become scarce, and the pack was turning upside down. Lusa was terrified that chaos would ensue, especially because her hot-headed brother Niju was very opinionated on the situation. Lusa was antagonized by Niju for not taking his side on the matter, even though she didn’t really take a side at all, she just wanted peace and order in the clan again. A wolfdog named Aleu then led the pack to new territory, and Lusa went along, leaving her brother behind. As she crossed into new land, she felt as though she were leaving an old part of her life behind, but now she could start a new one — and she felt she had more room to start over now that her evil brother was gone.

Relation to Balto: Niju’s sister and a member of Aleu’s pack; seen in Wolf Quest
