Appearance:
Willow is a larger female, standing 2.5 feet at the shoulder and weighing roughly 160 pounds. A creamy tan undercoat that meets a darker red on her legs, and a small face mask. With a darker overcoat of black that spreads over her haunches and back, covering her shoulders, neck, brow, and down her tail. Dense and fluffy fur that is suited better for colder temperatures, yet thin enough that she can go through summer without being too hot. Strong legs and wide-set paws speak of her strength hidden beneath her coat. Her eyes are a pale mix of green and yellow, shining in the light like summer jewels.
Personality:
A gentle-natured female, Willow keeps to herself most of the time, staying out of the power struggle. She tends to mind her own business except for those she cares for, standing beside them in silent support. A soft spot for younger wolves and pups, believing they need a gentle teacher over learning the hard way. Willow is a motherly wolf to any wolf younger than her, looking after injuries and the like when she can. Often offering advice to the young who have just been reprimanded. She will stand her ground and bear her teeth to even the alpha to protect a pup in need, or the life of a yearling in need of help. She is a voice of reason in stressful times and often tries to keep everyone calm, doing her best to prevent infighting. Willow is however, quick to snap when someone is being a bully, or purposefully picking on a smaller wolf. Her words are as sharp as her teeth when mad, yet they can be as warm as a summer breeze.
Fiercely loyal and protective, this female tries her best for her pack, even when they don't all appreciate it.

. Backstory:
Willow had been born to a pair of neglectful wolves, who soon left her with the Raven Pack (at 1 year old). Making a vow to never be like them, she became a source of comfort to any pup or younger wolf. Soon enough (at 3), finding a wolf to care for her just as she did him, and was going to have her own pups with him, his name was Crag. Yet fate had other ideas. Her mate was killed by a rabid fox while on a hunt, and shortly after, her pups were stillborn. Willow spent countless nights beside her buried pups, mourning the loss of the small lives. Once she returned to the pack, Willow had returned mostly to herself. But she no longer had an interest in finding another mate, despite the longing in her heart for a partner and to have little ones of her own. It has been a few years since then, and she has stayed in the Queen's den, helping other mothers with their pups.
