A/N: This character will not become a Mary-sue. She is from Senri tribe however.
Prologue: Death and Life
A young girl ran into the woods away from the fighting men and the screams of her tribe. She heard a shout of a man as he ran after her. Her breath became ragged as she ran faster, she remembered her father showing her the ways of the mountain to escape any man that would try to harm her. Now she used every one that her father had taught her but the man was still coming after her.
Suddenly, she began to feel her body change shape and she collapsed into the stream she had begun to cross. She pushed herself up off the bottom of the stream and found she had four legs instead of two. Her reflection in the stream showed a wolf pup instead of her human self.
`I am a wolf +Anima…' She thought in wonder. Then her wolf ears turned toward the snapping of a twig behind her. The realization of how defenseless she was against her pursuer took hold of her mind and she began to cross the stream fighting against the current. `I'm not going to make it.' She thought as a stick hit her tail on its way down stream. The girl lost her balance and tumbled under the icy stream. `I'm going to die…' she thought.
Suddenly a strong force brought her up from the water. The girl didn't look to see what it was, she began to cough up the water that had tried to seep her life force away. Then in a sudden panic she remember what she had so desperately been running from before the stream had tried to take her. Her head snapped around in search of danger but she was utterly alone. She started to get up when she found she still had paws instead of hands focusing on her human thoughts she felt her wolf body slip off her like a coat she had taken off. The girl stood up and looked around trying to find some small piece of forest that looked remotely familiar but could find as much as a single tree that she could have seen before.
The girl started walking down stream when she saw the most mystical sight she'd ever seen in her life. Five sleek wolves ran a crossed the stream sending the water sparing off in various directions like doves taking flight into a shimmering mist. `It would be wise to transform back into my +Anima.' She thought sliding to her knees as they compounded and turned into short pup legs making it impossible to run if these wolves decided that she wasn't worth bringing into the pack.
The leader of the pack followed his mate to the strange little +Anima she'd found when she was returning from her hunt. As the pack gathered around the wolf girl she found herself able to understand what they were saying to one and other. With a certain grace a pale, stone colored she-wolf stepped forward to speak, `She is from the Tooa Tribe, their village burned this evening. She was the only one to escape her capturers because she turned into one of us. Now her family's gone so who can teach her the ways of her people? I move we raise her as one of our own until she comes of age in her world.' The she-wolf silently stepped back and waited to see if there as anyone who would challenge her choice.
Finally when no one stepped forward, a dark brown wolf stepped forward and said, Then it is done the wolf +Anima will be raised away from her own kind until she comes of age.' The rest of the wolves howled to the moon celebrating the new member of their pack. The girl tried to howl with the other wolves but it came out like a high-pitched squeak. `All things in good time my wolf pup' The she-wolf said brushing up against her young wolf +Anima. The girl thought this night had been filled with such tragedy and such joy that the cosmos must have been spinning around faster than the humming bird's wings beet. She had found a group of wolves would promised to protect her until she was sixteen and that meant she had nine years of safety and love ahead of her and that felt very good indeed.
A/N: I hope you liked it. I know some of you people would argue that +Anima's don't change completely but if you read the sixth book Mukar the tribe's leader transforms completely into a wolf so that's why she does to.
