(Fifth Generation.) 4'4", silver-grey hair, brown eyes. Was the lifemate of Chieftess Easysinger (deceased); father of Chief Windburn, and Chicory. Brother of One-Leg and Suddendusk, uncle to many, etc. Grandfather of Goldspice, Foxtail, Cinder, and Glow. Ambitious, intelligent, snarky, dour; 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 often 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 often don't "get" each other andfrequently misread each other.

She's a jack of all trades and master of none she'll dabble in anything and everything that catches her curiosity.

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.

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.

Willow, the tribe's healer, is stubborn and fiercely competitive, and though she isn't afraid to speak what is on her mind, she knows how to choose her battles wisely.

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.
