Background: Hiddenfang grew up in Chicago. A resident of Engelwood, she grew up accustom to poverty, violence, and neglect. All she wanted as a child was a normal life, preferably on the north side of town. Her mother was a werewolf had vanished when she was in preschool. Her father raised as best he could but between losing his job at the plant and an old injury to his leg that made him rely on a cane, he could barely put food on the table.
Hiddenfang turned to petty crime to make herself happy. Shoplifting clothes and snack as a teen, she slowly moved up to pickpocketing and working with local grifters. She might have co9ntinued down that route if the first change hadn't happened.
Her first change was painful and violent but noone got hurt except for some feral dogs living in a park. She was quickly found by the local werewolves who had known where to look. Her mother had died long ago but her friends had kept an eye on her and made sure she was okay. With their help she learned to adapt to her new life. They even helped her get a real job working a local kennel.
There she rescued Winston an abused mastiff puppy. She helped him heal, talking him through the pain with her Gift. In time he grew into a potent ally of his own. She considers him her best friend and confidant.
Even as she carved out a normal life in the aftermath, the local pack realized her gift for rituals and trained her as a shaman. Under their tutelage she quickly became a master of werewolf magic.
Then things again went south. Her pack ran afoul of a group of Pure known as the Black Horde. They massacred them and stole their territory. She thinks some others escaped but they have never surfaced. She joined Eric's pack after her escape. She knew Eric from the funerals she and her master had to conduct. Eric was always there, for every one.
Now she feels things have moved too soon too fast. She needs time to process the violence and deaths. Her pack has needed her help too often and it is cutting into the life she constructed for herself. Torn between the material and Shadow, she needs to decide for herself how to deal with the problems Chicago and werewolf life presents.
Description: A slim but muscular Hispanic woman in peak fitness, Hiddenfang is rarely seen. Dressed in soft dark colors, modified for the terrain, she is almost invisible. When she intends to be seen simple jeans and a T-shirt suffice. Her hair is kept in military form and her skin is a rich brown.
