Current status: Dead D: Cloud doesn't have much of a history pre-RPG [thanks to me.] She had an adopted sister, Sphinx, who didn't believe she belonged in the family since she wasn't born there, and so hated everyone in it. When Cloud left the small loner pack, Sphinx took the opportunity to kill Cloud's parents; she then hunted down Cloud, believing that "soft" wolves like these shouldn't exist. Eventually, Sphinx didn't even have a reason to kill, other than whether or not they were associated with the family favorite, Cloud. Cloud met a wolf who had been banished from a pack, named Hawk, and had a pup, Beam; but Hawk shortly vanished... Sphinx had been lurking in Cloud's shadows for a very long time, by the time Beam was an adolescent. She had sometimes entered Cloud's den to threaten her while Beam slept; they had had quiet conversations, Cloud not flinching - outwardly. She knew, though, she'd be killed eventually - but not without Beam and her new mate, Typhoon, going down before her. Sphinx would be satisfied once Cloud's blood was spilled, and Cloud decided to protect her loved ones...
