Jeraboa a handsome young male. He stands roughly 2.5 feet tall and 3.5 feet long. This brings him just smaller than an average wolf. His fur is a dull orange. Not quite a brown. But not quite clementine. He has a dark brown back fading to a light brown to an orange and then to white-cream at his belly. His eyes are like orange highlighters. Not a natural color, but he was still born with it. A mousy gray nose finishes off the look.

Jeraboa is a stubborn boy. He learned to walk even when only 2 wolves believed in him. On the outside, Boa seems sweet and care-free, hopping around without a single worry. Underneath, he is a protective boy. Still sweet, but cares about things. Deep, deep down, he shows he is scared. He has trauma from the first few months.

Jeraboa was the first pup of the alphas. A single pup litter. As a new mother, Arrow did not understand that pups need constant supervision. She left for a few hours, and Boa walked out of the nursery, trips, fell into a small gully and broke his leg. It never healed right, but he can still put minimal weight on it. Ever since, his mother watched him and his younger sisters like a hawk until they were 2, then they had some freedom. Jeraboa currently walks with a limp and tends to just carry his leg instead of going through the process of putting it down and picking it without jarring it too much.

Jeraboa choose to go into the healer profession because he spent so much time in the healer!s den as a pup, it is now more home than any place else. Also, he learned a lot by just watching the previous healer work. To relearn how to walk, Jeraboa was sent on mini missions for him. Delivering and collecting herbs and such.

Jeraboa’s mentor’s name was Karteck. (Car-tech) He was already on the older side when he took Boa as his apprentice. He helped Jeraboa learn to walk and grew quite fond of the little pup. As soon as he turned 1, he requested the Boa was his apprentice. To take over when Karteck would inevitably retire to the elder’s den. Boa flourished under his teaching, growing the be a strong, healthy wolf, despite his injury. At 1 and a half, Jeraboa was treating patients like a true master while his mentor watched from the side lines, giving advice. Around the time Jeraboa turned 2 and a half, Karteck retired to the elder’s den, where his is to this day.

Jeraboa took Echo as his apprentice at 3 because he realized that it would be good to have 2 healers. Because healers are given immunity throughout all packs, they could go on diplomatic missions. With his leg, it was hard for Jeraboa to go on these if they were long. And, while a healer is keeping peace, there would normally be no one at the pack to respond to emergencies. They used to preform first aid and send a wolf the get the healer. But Jeraboa would not be able to make it back to camp in a timely manner if that happened. So he plans on teaching Echo so that either he could go and not worry about the pack, or send her in his stead.

Jeraboa currently is roughly 3 and a half, has been training Echo for half a year, and is managing his limp well. He still occasionally take a pain killer herb if he has the run for a while and his leg had hit the ground to hard. He also wears a stiff leaf wrapped around it so it keeps it in place. Because the broken bones never healed right, it ended up pinching nerves if jarred hard enough. Kind of in 2 peices of bone, but not quite. He also broke both bones in that section, but they fused slightly, so he has limited rotation from the knee to his paw.

As for Stripe’s lost pups, Jeraboa was still a relatively new healer when they where born, so he was there, watching and taking Mental notes. 2 boys, 1 girl. They were strong, healthy, adorable. They looked just like their mom. Jeraboa was there when they were assigned to mentors at only 6 months. Way to young. Jeraboa was almost always treating sore muscles, sprained tendons, and scratches. Then the Alpha took it to far, he sent them with their mentors to scoop out a neighboring pack in order to invade. They were attacked, killing a male and his mentor. The rest where injured. When they made it back to camp, they where a wreck. Karteck was able to save both the adults,but they are covered in scars and confined to the elder’s den because they can not do any work. He left the pups the Boa, he tried all he could, worked feverishly all night. Stripe was there constantly, almost the point Jeraboa kicking her out, but he didn’t. But first the male, then the female died in his paws. Ever since, Jeraboa threw himself at his calling, vowing to never let something like that happen again.

A howl reverberated over the valley where Jeraboa’s pack lived. The howl was familiar. It was the Alpha’s. It means there is a meeting in the camp. Jeraboa turns from his small garden where he planted his harder to find herbs and trots as well as he can for camp. His fur swishes Bentley as he comes through the opening in the brambles and takes his place as head healer, just under the rock where the Alpha stands. The male did not look pleased. “Now that you all are here,” He says with a pointed look at Boa, “I have an announcement. The wolves I have sent away have come back. They promise lush forests and a lot of prey. But is a long trek. I plan to leave in the morning. But I have 1 order of business to attend to first. Jeraboa, Stripe. I am removing wolves due to weaknesses. You will not be coming with us.” The assembly gasps.

Stripe looked at Jeraboa her face had a pure look of shock on it. ¨But why? Jearboa is the best healer and you're getting rid of one of your fighters. You said you need mo--¨ Stripe yelped as Alpha jumped down from the rock and slashed her in the face. Instinctively she lunged to bite his neck but he grabbed her and flung Stripe against the hard den wall. Stripe laid there. ¨You dare to question my decisions and then you try to attack me, I ought to kill you right now however I have other plans... Also to answer your question, It´s because you´re breaking the rules.¨ The Alpha turned to Jeaboa, ¨Isn´t that right ¨Boa¨?¨ He started walking back to his den but stopped by Jeraboa to whisper in his ear. ¨She´s the reason you´re being kicked out. I´ll give you two options: abandon Stripe and come with us or I can give you both 30 minutes to get out of the territory. If you´re not out, the betas get to kill Stripe. Your time starts now.¨ He smirked before he continued to his den. Stripe was unable to get up and she looked like a mess. Her paw was reinjured, her face was already covered in blood, and something was defiantly broken...

Jeraboa winced as he heard the smack of Wolf against wall. "That rule were a healer can't have a mate is bogus. I have an apprentice that could take my spot if I had to leave. Which I don't, because I'm a male. Echo can take my spot. She is fully capable. Now if you don't mind, I believe I have to tend to Stripe." He says. He stands and went over to his friend. "I meant what I said there." He whispers in her ear and then looks at her paw.

Stripe saw Jeaboa coming towards her. ¨Jeraboa, I´m sorry... What did he say to you?¨ She looked away from him afraid to meet his gaze. She winced when he touched her paw. Damn it, why did I have to screw everything up again? She thought.

(kinda short sorry)

“Hey, at this rate you might look like me. Don’t. It is annoying.” Jeraboa says. “Come on, I’ll tell you once we are moving. We need to leave. We are not welcome here.” Jeraboa nudges Stripe in attempt to get her to stand up. “I’ll wrap your leg after we are out of the territory.” The wolves of his formar pack just watch in stare, already treating us as foreigners. Jeraboa’s hackles raise. He stands and limps over the the med den and comes out with a dried poppy. “Painkiller.” He growls at the alpha as he turns towards the entrance.

Stripe immediately takes the poppy seeds ¨thanks¨ a couple of minutes later Stripe manages to get up. She started to limp to the entrance very slowly, almost dragging herself along. They slowly made their way to the edge of the territory. The effect of the poppy seeds had started to wear off but Stripe kept going. ¨Hey, Boa? Do you by any chance have more poppy seeds?¨ Stripe looked toward him. Her face still looked horrific, the dried blood covered the gashes in her face. One of her eyes was stuck shut, it would have probably been better to treat while still fresh but they didn´t have time for that. ¨How bad do you think

it will be once you get to properly treat my wounds?¨ asked Stripe not wanting to know the answer.

“I do, but poppy seeds also double as a sleep med if given in higher quantities. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to carry you at the moment.” Jeraboa said. After 5 minutes of walking away from their ex-pack, Jeraboa spoke. “The alpha said we had 30 minutes to leave. Just because I am friends with you.” Jeraboa airplanned his ears slightly. He could feel slight warmness growing to his cheeks, but he pressed it down. “Once we’re out of pack territory, I’ll look at your foot. That you’ve somehow managed injure, again.” (Make sound of indignation. The same sound I make when my cat sticks his nose in my eye. He’s very smart(not).) Jeraboa smiles. Jeraboa looks back. The piercing eyes of his twin sisters are following. Making sure they are leaving.
