Sunset Valley New Arrival

[ooc - thread is open to one other character <3]

She had travelled so far from home, Calida no longer knew where she was; everything was foreign and strange in her eyes, and she moved with, perhaps, an overabundance of caution. Calida had been on her own for over a year now, ever since her mother had taken her own life. She didn't mind being alone - nothing good had ever come from being around others, at least in her experience. Even so, some small part of her knew that she could not be alone forever, and based on the abundance of wolf scents all around her, she expected to run into one sooner or later.

Calida exhaled slowly, and her breath came out as frost. Winter would soon be upon the land, and at some point, she would need to settle in; the valley she'd entered was breathtakingly beautiful, and it could suit her, so long as she could find prey. Even so, hunting alone was no small task... lately, she'd been living off hares and scavenged kills. Calida sighed, shaking out her pelt, and sat for a moment, merely gazing around herself.

'Perhaps I could settle here... for the time being,' Calida thought to herself, idly reaching up with a hind paw to scratch at her ear. It wouldn't be so bad... after all, she'd left her past behind her, and she'd vowed to never return home, though she'd never thought of her birthplace as a true home. No, Calida was a wanderer, plain and simple. But maybe here, she could have a new life - a better life.
