The Bracken Woods I feel like something will happen today

She wandered north. There was a part of her that was curious as to what Frostfire Ridge might be up to, but she skirted the territory at some distance as she wandered with the hopes of finding northern foliage that might better thrive within her garden. Well, her half-formed, mostly and idea of a garden she'd not quite yet managed to get started just as yet. Phoenix Maplewood had only just been claimed. She wanted to get fully settled there before she toiled the earth, but it never hurt to keep an eye out for new and interesting things.

North it was. She'd not explored this area too much. She kept tabs on more of the southern lands if only because she found them far more useful for a wider variety of plant life. Alas, beggars could not be choosers and since she'd settled in a northern pack, she'd have to alter her preferences to accommodate what she had in the immediate vicinity. A weeks travel to find an herb would kill a wolf in dire need. Closer was always better. Always.

She did not know the northern lands broke into forest once more. The change in terrain was a pleasant surprise as she slipped beneath the trees and kept her nose to the ground. Trained in sniffing out herbs and other plants, she overlooked a variety of forest creatures or anything else that might have been worth her while. If she'd circled the hybrid wolf-dog a number of times before stumbling upon him, she had not the slightest idea, but when she finally happened upon him, the look upon her face was one of pure scrutiny.

With narrowed eyes, she shifted her stance, allowing the bulk of her big-boned body and thick pelt to match the equally intimidating tail that lifted high above her. A low growl seeped from between her lips as she examined the thing that was not quite a wolf and... collared? She knew not what that thing around his neck was, but in her caution, she kept her distance and her aggression. "What the hell are you?" she snapped. Animal certainly, just a half-breed of some kind she couldn't recognize.
