Born to Blackwater, bartered to Lestan and Reverie. She and her three siblings were given to Heda and Caracal of Sweetharbor shortly thereafter. Life here was idyllic until Caracal died, Judah drowned, and the survivors were forced inland. Ava became seriously injured during a hunt, tended to by a man named Etienne. From there the survivors formed Rivenwood. Ava never fully recovered from her hunting accident: at times she is beset by crippling headaches and may seem not herself.

Rivenwood splintered apart in late Summer of 2024. Ava continued inland, briefly attending Shadow Ridge where she was given the name Pakasqa. The brutal winter forced the pack to disperse due to thinning resources, and a snowstorm in January 2024 separated her from the remaining members.
