Zsuzsa was a product of forced conception. Her father, a high-ranked pack member of the Weald, coercively took advantage of her mother who had been a lone wolf teetering on the outskirts of Or’arde Weald that had not sworn allegiance to any pack and her history of such is unknown. Browbeaten to become a Weald, Moraine had been subject to constant disciplinary action as a subordinate even when carrying to term. From the consistent physical abuse endured, two pups were stillborn with Zsuzsa as the sole survivor of the litter. Her father's treatment eased up on her mother briefly to ensure Zsuzsa did not succumb to the fate of her siblings but returned soon after once she began to mature.
Her mother was only a central figure of raising her at the bare minimum (providing necessary nourishment and grooming) until she reached her first year. When she reached her first year, her father stepped in to raise her for the following short years thereafter. His main concern was passing on his bloodline and Moraine was disposed of once she reached six years (the Weald left the lowly subordinate to freeze to death at the bottom of a gorge she descended down from slipping on ice)
Fearing what her father was capable of although he was rather doting in nature toward her and his efforts to groom her into the vision he saw of her, Zsuzsa fled from the lands she was raised. This obviously caused great disappointment and rage in her father considering she was the sole carrier of his bloodline. Osin set a search party to join him in retrieving her, although she escaped far enough to evade them. Her journey led her to a pack known as Etrusca who was at war with a neighboring territory. Not having anywhere else to go, she joined the ranks of Etrusca whenever a flare-up happened. It was a trade of warring, killing, and training in exchange for temporary protection and food. When the battles were done, she would retreat unnoticed, determined to remain disconnected from getting too settled. Zsuzsa had one primary goal, and it was to become a warrior so one day she would no longer need to fear her father if he or his scouts caught up to her.
After several months of training and learning the ways of the Etruscans, Zsuzsa grew nervous as she caught sight of Weald scout wolves dangerously close to the Etruscan outskirts. Knowing she could not make a permanent home here, she once again fled, leading her in the direction of the Teekon Wilds to find a new refuge.
