polaris was born to alessia, kavik and rosalie alongside siblings, lainie, helios and zephyr on 12/03/19. it was a difficult birth and the pups were born sickly. despite this polaris grew determinedly and was a bundle of constant happiness. her first months were spent blissfully in the safety of swiftcurrent creek. however shortly after rosalie gave birth to soter, morena and manon, manon passed away and zephyr and helios disappeared. already distressed at the disappearance of her siblings, when finding out from lainie that zephyr killed manon: polaris didn't know how to react and struggled to view her sister the same way again when she and helios returned.

lainie was gravely injured by the bwp and in october '19 the family decided to leave their home in swiftcurrent creek due to the damage and lack of safety. during their passage through the mountains, they were separated by a rockslide which polaris believed killed the rest of her family. terrified, she fled and came across the familiar face of clay. at her request he let her return with him to the 'nightwalkers' where she was accepted by the warlord vengeance. after becoming 9 months and being promoted to a 'soldier', vengeance decided to 'test' her and injured her in the process. she finally decided to flee the nightwalkers and the teekons altogether, wandering aimlessly until meeting a boy named ronan from a pack called 'amethyst keep'. she grew very close to ronan and joined the pack as a fresh beginning. recovering both mentally and physically there, she finally made the difficult decision to return to the teekons, leaving her new friends behind.
