Was the lifemate of Chieftess Easysinger (deceased); father of Chief Windburn, and Chicory. Brother of One-Leg and Suddendusk, uncle to many, etc. Ambitious, intelligent, abrasive; thinks highly of himself and expects others to respect him and listen to him, even if they don't like him. Competitive, used to giving orders and having them followed; often brusque and critical. Sees himself as a leader and a protector; but his paternalism is not always welcomed by his tribesmates. Considering his long years and experience, as well as his sharp intellect, his opinions are usually right on the money; however, he also harbors a strong sense of superiority, and can often rub his tribemates wrong for acting like an expert on all subjects, and for seeming like a know-it-all. Has an uneasy relationship with his son the chief -- they don't "get" each other and almost invariably misread each other.

Dreamflight is a dreamy, friendly and cheerfull fisher. She has a fascination for the sky and the birds that occupy it, which led to a particular skill in immitating birdcalls. She gladly shares a good night of dreamberry drinking with her friends and is generally easy to be around. She does however have a strange and uncomfortable relationship with her father, ever since her mother Honey was put into wrapstuff and he decided to return to his former lovemate Cloudfern, whom she doesn't thank for welcoming him back. She's a curious person towards most subjects and can get lost in her own thoughts about all kinds of things, thoughts she prefers to keep unshared.

The son of Nightstorm & Moss, Longshot is a flirty, happy-go-lucky guy who almost always has a smile on his face. He talks a lot when he is around the holt to make up for all the silent hunt time. He also tries to keep his hands occupied at all times when he isn't hunting or tracking, otherwise he begins to get antsy and jiggles his legs or taps his fingers excessively. He manages to contain his fidgety nature during a hunt but the only true moment of complete stillness he gets is while he is lining up a shot and letting the arrow fly. An excellent archer with unmatched precision.

Bio picture by: Stacy L.

The son of Cider and Rhythm and father of Longshot, Moss is the very picture of laid-back; mellow and easy-going, he doesn't seem to get ruffled by very much of anything. He has a quick and easy smile and a warm laugh that usually gets others laughing as well. Charming and friendly, Moss is a bit of a flirt and makes no bones about it when he's interested in someone. Passionate about his crafts, the true great loves of his life are his harp, which he has named Heartsong, and his music, and it is with these that he bares his emotions and lets them flow freely. He is a man driven and possessed by song; he will spend hours sitting quietly and playing, lost in music. Something of a neophile, Moss has picked up a number of skills over his fairly long life, but has stuck with only those few that have really held his interest. He's the tribe's senior tanner and is especially skilled in making rich, intense dyes for leathers. He is also a skilled archer, a talent he has passed along to his son Longshot.

Bio picture by: Holly H.

The sister of Whispersilk & Snowfall, and mother of Longshot, Nightstorm is an artistic, temperamental personality She enjoys working hard and playing hard, and takes great pride in the results of her labors. She's a jack of all trades and master of none she'll dabble in anything and everything that catches her curiosity. Her passion for individual crafts varies from season to season, and sometimes from week to week, and she often has a den-room of unfinished projects left in the wake of the latest inspirational falling-out. She's a woman of high passions, and has no hesitation about speaking her mind freely (and often with righteous conviction). Quick to make up her mind and quick to leap to a hasty conclusion; doesn't take well to being corrected. She can be competitive for example, there was a period of time in her youth when she was determined to be recognized as the tribe's master weaver, despite her sister Whispersilk's superior talent and experience. Thrives on attention, and on receiving positive strokes for her work; much less interested in constructive criticism or advice.

Bio picture by: Rachel V.

An elf with an active mind and an active heart, it never takes much convincing to get Suddendusk to participate in the tribe's activities, and he's equally happy taking on large projects or small tasks. He is relatively laid-back and easy-going, though he does have a somewhat overprotective streak when it comes to his own family. Easygoing as he is, he's also a bit of a 'nutty professor' type in that he'll invent things for the sake of invention and not because the devices are in any way useful, and his mind is almost always working out some mechanical principle or other. He's an inventor, a thinker, a knapper, a thatcher, and, above all, a dedicated father, lifemate, and tribesmate to all.

Recognized of Windburn mother of Foxtail, sister of Snowfall & Nightstorm, Whispersilk is a bit scatterbrained, seemingly having a hard time focusing on one thing at a time. She flits from subject to subject when talking to people at breakneck speed. She gets very bored easily, though not in a way that a cub would, finding something to get them in trouble. She seems to always have something on her mind, even when listening to someone talk to her, her mind tends to wander at the things that she could, and should, be doing. The only times she seems to calm down enough to actually get anything done is when she's working. She is not rude, though when she's preoccupied she often answers people in a clipped, one word way, and seems to be impatient even when she's not. This could also, however, be due to the fact that she doesn't like to speak aloud a whole lot, and finds it rude to send overly much.

She has recently come into her healing powers and is struggling to master her new-found ability.

Bio picture by: Heidi H.

Windburn -- 4'0", dark red hair, blue eyes. The current chieftain of the River Twine tribe, Windburn is strong-willed, able-bodied, and can be hard-headed and stubborn. Dislikes allowing anyone to loaf. Windburn comes to decisions quickly and sticks by them once made; a firm disciplinarian. Is able to think through problems, but doesn't want to hear too many opposing opinions except by very trusted friends and advisors. Is not comfortable around cubs, and firmly believes that it is not his job to oversee the raising of any. Brave, and very capable, if a little hard to swallow for the more 'easy going' and 'laid back' elements in the tribe. This does not mean that he is completely unapproachable; rather that he is on the stubborn side and very hardheaded. He is able to see other points of view, but often times has to be very convinced before he'll believe that something that he has decided may not be the best way to go about something. Recognized of Whispersilk, father of Foxtail, brother of Chicory, son of Blacksnake.

Bio picture by: Holly H.

The Recognized of Suddendusk and mother of Evervale and Crackle, Windsong is a calm, down to earth and practical creature most of the time. She enjoys the chase a lot more than the kill, and loves a good challenge. She's not an elf of many words, but has a delightful singing voice, excellent for lulling restless cubs to sleep, easing sorrow or sharing joy.. She loves her tribe and family wholeheartedly. When angry she can be a bit reckless, but it takes a lot to anger her. Tends to take charge of situations if it looks like nobody else will. She dislikes being bored or limited too much by things she doesn't understand. Doesn't like trolls much, and really hates closed spaces. Likes to sneak up on people- mostly to prove to her victims they need to be more alert to their surroundings- goes to great efforts and is fairly skilled at moving silently. As a weak sender she's developed a system of bird-calls to replace sending when hunting with a group.
