Profile of Sassafras: Details
Appearance
Sassafras is a young athlete with deep, immutable black fur, sleek lines, and shining mahogany eyes. Her easy, coltish movements express natural self-confidence and her trim, leggy physique hints at breakneck agility. Her dorsal hairs are wild, long, and blade-like, an inherited genetic trait meant to shield against winter’s incessant howl. She's positively spiky throughout the length of her spine in this regard, evident by even the most negligible display of hackles. She stands approximately 72 cm (28 in) from dirt to shoulder and, depending on how the hunt fares, she might weigh roughly 31–34 kg (70–75 lb).

Her only scars were given to her by Charon, who left four prominent marks where his canines sank into the crook between her neck and left shoulder [1]. They're quite noticeable upon closer inspection because of the way the surrounding fur has grown in.
Personality
Sharply curious and largely unafraid; quick to respond physically in terms of body language, though likely to rely on a pragmatic, thoughtful mind in terms of verbal and environmental engagement. She falls somewhere in the sprawling middle of the instinctual to rational spectrum, but exactly where is not always clear. She's most often inclined to seek out those who come off as self-aware and refrain from taking themselves too seriously, but when personally afflicted by emotion, Sassafras does not necessarily hold true to her own ideologies.
Biography
Sassafras grew up tussling and competing with her larger brothers and cousins along the crags and forested passes of a well established pack called Eidolon Ridge, and it was only through the natural progression of youth that Sassafras caught the insistent itch to leave the comfort of her childhood home. It was with that and a fond farewell to her beloved family that Sassafras inevitably set off on her own and into the vast Wilds.

After facing adversity on more than one occasion, she was fortunate enough to find Redhawk Caldera where she was welcomed upon the successful retrieval of a kill [2]. Sassafras took to the Alpha male quickly and found herself aspiring to become both a warrior and guardian as she exuberantly pledged herself to the pack.

She disappeared not two weeks after she was accepted. While scouting the surrounding area and tracking a herd past the steppes to the east, a bold stag rushed her quite unexpectedly and gave a violent kick straight to her ribs. The sun was just beginning flood its rays across the land when she opened her eyes and determined with a long, exasperated whine that she would not be able to move from where she lay sprawled in a blanket of dust.

It was surely nothing short of luck that the wolf to come across her was a Healer's eager apprentice hailing from a pack a short distance away. The two struck a deal: Sassafras agreed to provide her broken body to practice his care upon, and he in turn promised her a place of refuge while she recovered. Feeling rightly indebted to the wolves who had taken her in, she stood by them long after she had healed and was able to hunt for herself. She remained there even when famine and locusts ripped mercilessly through the Wilds, helping her newfound family any way she could.

It wasn't until June 20th, 2016 that Sassafras returned to the Teekon Wilds and Redhawk Caldera [3].
Relations
Sassafras is the only female of a small litter born to Moselotte DeMonte-Sairensu and the chieftain of Eidolon Ridge in the wilderness of western British Columbia.

She once met her only maternal uncle, Kierkegaard DeMonte-Sairensu, but no recognition was ever passed between them [4].
