Life in the north was always simplistic but rarely easy. Geneva was born as the second child of her parents, two years after her brother. The pack was always very small; rarely did it consist of more than five individuals, and at its busiest it supported nine adults. Aside from her parents in the leadership positions there were trusted family friends (aunts and uncles, but not related by blood) who her father trusted implicitly. Due to the small size of the family it was easy for more overbearing groups to throw their weight around, forcing the Lindgrens to be excessively nomadic. They followed the elk herds or would focus their efforts on moose when available, working as a well ouled machine for large payouts. Another caveat to their low numbers involved spring - specifically, when her parents would try to grow their ranks manually. They had very small litters and of the four that were born over the course of the pack's life, only two were successful: Tandri, their first-born son, and Geneva their sole daughter two years after. Finally, when one of her uncles began to express interest in Geneva (going so far as to demand he take possession of her via a challenge to her father) a rift split in the pack's ranks. She was ready to appease the man if it kept everything functional within their lives, but Esper was mortified by the pairing, so the two fought. The ensuing uprising led to the death of Esper, and a week or so after that Rikke took her own life to assuage her grief. From there the pack was in pieces; Tandri and Geneva working together as long as they could until he was struck by illness and demanded Geneva leave him for a brighter future elsewhere. She obliged him, trusting their decision, and enters the Teekon Wilds alone and desperate.
