Personality: Sugary-Sweet and buttery but if you cross her she will rip your face off. Hawthorn is affectionate and has a motherly feel to her, she is understanding and kind, but she has some unfortunate trust issues. Not in a paranoid manner, but enough to pull away from her pack mates and turn cold. Doesn't tell anyone about her feelings and has an implosive personality. She just snaps and lashes out at others over small things mainly due to her bottling up all her problems Hawthorne genuinely cares about her pack mates and really wants whats best for them no matter what. Hawthorne is cheeky and flirty, and is not afraid to take over the dating scene, testing all her options.

History: Hawthorne was raised and kept in her pack her whole life. As she grew into a tall adolescent she felt like an awkward ugly duckling. Clumsy and unsure of herself, Hawthorne didn't have many friends and wasn't considered an ideal mate. She soon caught the eye of Canyon, the alpha's son. He was bit awkward himself but was extremely handsome. He thought Hawthorne was funny and the two became fast friends. When Hawthorne grew into her legs she was actually pretty attractive. Months passed and Canyon asked Hawthorne to be his mate, she agreed happily. After being together for a while Canyon's parents were killed by getting pulled under by the current in the river near the elk herds.

Canyon and Hawthorne became the alphas of the pack and all was seemingly well. The two started to grow distant however with different duties and obligations. Hawthorne noticed this distance and accepted it as part of the burden as the alpha's mate. Illness was spreading through out the elderly and weak. This especially hit the Hunters hard because they often came back with small easily infected wounds. Canyon tried to see Hawthorne between his busy schedule but they mostly just had enough energy to eat and sleep next to each other. Eventually, however, Hawthorne began to notice that Canyon was completely MIA in their relationship. She later learned of him being sweet on one of the packs younger females and shamelessly flirting with her. Apparently, this had been going on for months. Hawthorne couldn't stand this, and challenged Canyon. The fight was a short one as Hawthorne's bottled up rage became unleashed.

After her mate's death Hawthorne took his place determined to bring her pack back to its former glory. Firstly she banished Canyon's sweetheart. Secondly, Hawthorne spent long hours working with the healers and looking into how the illness may be contained. Hawthorne wasn't taken kindly at first and even after helping fight off the illness competitors and the other alphas had doubts.

Pack Affiliation:
Rank: Alpha

Strengths: Hawthorne's height makes her intimidating plus she knows how to use it to her advantage. Hawthorne is a pretty capable fighter and has strong thick neck muscles that allows her to shake her prey to death quickly. Hawthorne is actually very smart and if she wouldn't have become an alpha she would have been a healer. Her long legs help her run long distances.
Weakness: Hawthorne doesn't trust others and really just puts all of the packs burdens on herself making her prone to headaches from all the stress. Hawthorne's longer legs makes short sprints a problem. She isn't particularly agile but she has gotten over her clumsiness for the most part, though she still has her moments.

Anything else of interest: Her left eye has a green fleck in it. The scars on her are from Canyon.

Relationships (best friend, enemies, etc): To be decided.

Leadership Description: To be added
Will Accept (pack Members): Hawthorne will only accept wolves and the occasional wolf hybrid (though she'd rather not) in her pack, because she lives deeper in the forest she doesn't really ever see any dogs, besides a few wolf hybrids. Not discriminatory of dogs but she doesn't think they are capable to keep up with her pack.
Will Deny (pack Members): Dogs and weak wolf hybrids.
