Description
Commonly known as "Fennec" or "Fenn".
Fennec is a willowy girl with large ears and tan fur. Her eyes are a milky grey and very obviously sightless. As a result, she moves carefully and deliberately.
Fennec is sarcastic and has a rather morbid sense of humor. It can be hard to tell by tone if she is joking and she loves to tell lies. She also enjoys scaring other wolves and forcing them into uncomfortable situations. Despite a selfish tendency to see things (hah) only from her point of view, Fennec does tend to mean well. She has a good heart despite a rather odd exterior.

History
Redhawks
Fennec was born on Heron Lake Plateau alongside her brother Figment. Her mother Camilla had two others as well, both stillborn, and did not survive long after their birth. She was unresponsive through most of her time with them. Fennec was tiny and quiet from the start, but was her brother's constant partner-in-crime. After their mother died, Towhee stepped easily into the role, and began to make plans to move off of the plateau. She and Phox worried that the territory was too dangerous for Fennec's failing sight. An altercation with Tegan sparked the final move, he and Towhee getting into a fight during which he killed X's baby, a bird that was intended to be Fennec's guide.
Asterism Grove
The family's move unfortunately coincided with the complete deterioration of Fennec's sight. They settled in Hideaway Strath. She did not adjust well initially to a new place, but after a while bounced back with Figment's help. Now completely blind, she roamed with him as her guide.
When she was around six months old, earthquakes rocked Teekon Wilds. Fennec was near the borders when the first came and was terrified into a wild run from the territory. She ended up getting lost and nearly perished alone, dehydrated and hungry. Rosalyn found her and saved her from being devoured by a pack of coyotes, then reluctantly nursed her back to health and let her follow along. The woman made it clear that her presence was not welcome, though, and Fennec resented her despite the thanks she owed.
Happily, they eventually crossed paths with Wraen, and Fennec was able to latch on to a familiar presence.
Firebirds
When she arrived at the Firebirds, Fennec learned that the quakes had trapped the rest of her family in the Strath. She was forced to stay there alone and hope that they managed to somehow survive the disaster. This was when she met Penn and Bronco, forming fast friendships with each, though she quickly latched onto the former as a likeminded soul. When Towhee did eventually escape (along with the rest), they chose to remain with the Firebirds rather than try and remake the Grove elsewhere.
After her stint alone, Fennec became obsessed with discovering the extent of her self-reliance. She began to test herself and to take regular trips outside of the borders of home, attempting to do so on the sly. She resented her brother's time away with Phox at the Frosthawks and the freedom that he had to choose where he went. At some point, Wraen caught her in her excursions and assisted her when she was jumped by (yet another) coyote. She cautioned her to learn to defend herself and Fennec doubled down.
Things settled for a while. Towhee had a surprise child in Meerkat and then Phox and Niamh gave her three half-siblings (Alyx, Quetzal, and Primrose). Around this same time, Finley and Elwood passed away together, and Fennec tried to help Penn to cheer up. Despite her efforts, he disappeared, and she fell into a foul disposition. She began to avoid her family and resent their (seemingly) constant demands that she babysit. Once again she grew restless, feeling trapped in the pack territory while the rest of her friends were free to go where they wanted.
Therefore, when Penn came back and invited her to travel with him, she leapt at the invitation. Figment and Towhee accepted her choice readily, but her decision to leave made her fight with both Phox and Bronco. Neither of them trusted Penn, but Fennec left regardless.
She traveled with Penn for a time, but eventually wished to come back home to visit. On the way back, they ran into Figment at the Frosthawks, and the three returned together. By the time they got there, Bronco and Meerkat had both moved to Moonspear. She stayed for a visit and was there when the rains came and flooded the glade. The pack decided to move for the interim, but Penn, who had been weird since they returned, ducked off instead of attending the meeting. Fennec followed and found him preparing to disappear. She got angry and, when he gave her an ultimatum, told him to just leave. But by the time she got back, the pack had already left. She was alone a few days once more before Figment and Towhee returned to find her.
Hurt and angry, Fennec decided to finally try and make herself useful; she approached Eljay for lessons in healing. He began to teach her what he knew and she took to herbology in particular. Her training got off to a rocky start when Niamh tried to prevent her from treating a young wolf, and for a short time she hated her step-mother. The two made up when they sparred and Niamh choked her into submission. Fennec appreciated that she hadn't gone easy on her and Niamh seemed to appreciate the desperation with which she'd fought back.
Around this time, Bronco came to visit and invited her tentatively to train with Moonspear's healer for a time. Fennec accepted, and the next time Towhee went for a visit, Fennec went along as well. She didn't tell anyone ahead of time of her plan, but Hydra agreed and Fennec remained for a time.
