Heron Lake Plateau Maps

Though she'd never exactly verbalized an interest in picking up a task as a member of the pack, Niamh found it natural to want to patrol the lands she and her friends had claimed before all the rest of Screech's clan and family came in and more or less usurped it. For the most part, she'd been simply patrolling the borders and minding her own business; she figured it would be best to allow Screech to justify their joining the pack, as he'd been a part of it once before, rather than her. She had, afterall, been one of the three wolves who'd once stood against the pack that had invaded the plateau. She moved along the borders with a sense of purpose and ownership when a howl caught her attention. 

The female remained a respectful distance from the borders but it didn't keep Niamh from becoming defensive, allowing the blonde fur along her nape and spine to stand up and ears prick forward. Though she was slim, Niamh was tall, and cut a serious figure when she regarded the stranger with a hard glare. She didn't know yet exactly how the alpha wanted strangers to be greeted; but Niamh was naturally extra defensive of the land she'd already had to surrender once, so she approached the stranger with the expectation that she would submit.
