History :
T’an was born to a rather large litter of no less then 11 cubs, however the bligth is not a friendly place. There is many ways for a newborn cub, or puppies in general to die. Starvation due to bad hunting, geting in the midle of a row between members of the pack, attacks from rivaling packs, attacks from other types of spawn or creatures of the bligth, geting lost and falling of cliffs and so forth. As such the litter would soon be reduced in size as the first few months passed, only those most lucky or maybe smartest or fittest would survive. And T’an was one of them.
As they learned more of their world, staying more awake she excelled among her siblings, and soon despite of her size was the leader of the litter. At times maybe bordering to foolishly brave and curious on things she explored the world around her. Her adventures seeing to the loss of more of her siblings who didnt have the rigth quickness to them, in the end leaving but a handfull of the litter to grow up. But such was the life in the bligth and in the pack, and the odds of even all of them yet left growing up was not big.
Her size though an advantage in many things became an advantage in geting away, allowing her to crawl under or into smaller hidings then her siblings when needed. But all in all she was not of those who stood back, and she was not forgiving either, ruthlessly she would steal food from her siblings given half a chanse.
It was this ability, that left her able to survive her first year, along with only 3 other of her siblings. And in the next 3 years their number would go down yet with another one.
Today T’an is a full pack member togheter with the two other surviving siblings from her litter, competition will mean that only those most adaptable, and quickest to learn will live to earn that in the Tain Bekar Pack who traces their bloodline purely back to the very first creations of the darkhounds.
T’an stands as such as a proud, meanstreaked and viscious female speciment of her art, excelling and with a promising future.
