She was born in the wilderness. Her mother was the alpha female of the small pack, and her father the aplha of the pack. She was born in a lupe burrow, sheltered by the thick branches of overhanding trees. She had three brothers and one sister. The five of them lived past the first week of their lives. The next week, however, was quite unfortunate. A boisterous and quite large male accidentally sat on her two eldest brothers, suffocating and crushing their fragile pink bodies. Now only three of the newborns remained alive; two females and one male. The three of them continued to survive past the months, developing stronger and more lively.
Once the days of suckling had ended, the two sisters and single brother began to travel outside of their soft home burrow. There were so many smells and bright colors around them. They were absolutely overwhelmed. As the winter season began to creep up on the small pack, sickness overcame the aplha of the pack. A month after his first symptoms, he died. A new alpha, a strong and very kind male, was chosen the following week. The new alpha brought the pack's spirits up, eventually returning the usual placid mood among everyone.
Mikamazi, the youngest of the three pups, was usually the most curious, poking her head into situations were she didn't belong. Because of this, she was frequently reprimanded. These pessimistic scoldings never do help anyone stay bright, so the year-old lupe became rather unsocial and rarely participated in any activities.
C'mon Zak!" her brother would call out to her, using her nickname, "Could you just play a single game of chase with us?" But no matter how hard the others tried, Zak remained quiet and unactive. She would just get yelled at again, right?
Zak's mother had noticed that she wasn't acting as usual, and went up to her to talk. She explained that Zak needn't stop all her activity just because of people telling her that what she was doing was wrong. Zak's mother told her that she should just tone down her curiosity, just toplay it safe.
But Zak ignored her mother's words. Nothing seemed to matter anymore.

Many more months passed by, and Zak's anti-social behaviour continued. Nobody spoke to her anymore, for they knew it was hopeless to get a straight response from the female. But the time had now come for the grown females out of the alive litter of three to seperate and find a suiting pack for themselves. The brother of the two sisters remained with his pack, becoming the next aplha male. Zak and her sister seperated that day, each of them starting off in a different direction.
Throught the seasons, Zak began to long for her family pack again. Even though they seemd to ignore her, she still wished to be in the same atmosphere as them. But she couldn't think like that anymore. She had to look for the future. She had to find another pack for herself. A new pack to live in. Oh, but how she missed her own family.
Half a year passed by, and Zak found a large pack in the mountains. She met many lupes there. Many, many lupes. In fact, there were so many lupes there, that Zak decided to leave the pack behind. There was so much chaos, andnone of the male lupes truley appealed to her. No, she'd have to try again. So off she set, journeying through the land, many miles away form her true family; a family that, at this point, she had only foggy memories of. They had just sunken into the depths of her mind now. She was her own person, and there was nothing that they could do to stop her from having a fresh start.

Months later, Zak met a shaggy white male by the name of Liisinyo. He lived in the caves that wound away in the cavity of a mountain ridge. Although this male appeared to have a cold personality, Zak followed him, the two eventually becoming faint friends. As the pair explored and traveled together, Zak began to feel a stronger friendship building between themselves. Li now talked to her with, what seemed like it, more ease. She couldn't help but feel like he was helping her find herself again.
And then he disappeared. Li was gone for almost two seasons. During this time period, Zak went back to her anti-social mood, rarely enjoying anything anymore. She missed her friend beyond anything. But now nothing seemed to matter anymore. Li was gone, and there was nothing she oculd do about it. Absolutely nothing.
Until that one day. Out of the brink of her insanity, Zak spotted what she saw to be Li. But, of course, she believed this to be just another hallucination of hers . She had been seeing brokenimages of the white lupe frequently. He was probably just another figment of her imagination at work. But as she neared him and spoke to him, he spoke back. After some time, Zak knew that Li was back. She didn't care were or why he had left. He was back, and that was all that mattered.
Time went on, and Zak knew that Li was more than a friend to her. She cared for him more than anything else. When he had vanished, she had felt so horrible and had even given up on lie itself. But he was back! She felt stronger than ever. She felt more love than she had ever had felt before for him. Li was the only one she truley needed in life. He was the one that made her who she really was. And she loved him for everything and all that he was.
Time went on, and the two lovers lived in peace, lost in a world of their undying love for each other. And, as their love grew into an unbreakable bond, Zak became pregnant.
Zak soon knew that she was to be a mother. Her soft stomach had began to buldge, little ones beginning to grow inside of her. Li took great care of her. Each week Zak's belly became slightly larger, life stirring from within. The months passed on until Zak's pregnancy was to come to an end. Her birth-giving day was coming near.

(the following text is from a roleplay between Mikamazi and Liisinyo's owners)
Inhaling and exhaling in fairly shallow breaths, a gray female lay resting on the floor of a tree-sheltered dugout in the ground. Her lighter-colored belly showed a warm and round largeness, for she was pregnant. The number of infants that lay curled in her womb were unknown, but the hour of the female's birthing was near.
A white male with ragged and long fur paced nearby. He was anxious and worried, hoping that the female would be fine.. and hoping that the pups, who would be born very soon, would be healthy. The fur that normally covered his eyes was wiped aside so he could see clearly. He hoped so much nothing went wrong..
In a sudden jerk, the gray female awoke. With aching limbs, she pushed her front up off of the earth, leaving her tired legs rest on the ground. With one glance, she spotted the white male that paced near her. A weak smile grew on her face. "Li," she spoke to him, "I think the time'll be here soon."
Li stopped pacing and looked at the female. Hardly able to contain his excitement, he said, "Rest. If they will soon be here, you must save your energy." A gentle smile came upon his face; one that only Zak had seen.

How true..." she exhaled. Suddenly, her body lurched, and she vomited onto the ground. Her body now shaking, Zak sat down on all of her limbs, her body tilted off to the side. She wiped the excess vomit onto the ground, a pain growing in her lower abdominals.
Li hoped that it wasn't bad that she had vomited... but he went to her side anyway. He wasn't so good at comforting others, but he tried his best. "Umm.. once these pups are born, you will feel so much better.. and just think, we will be parents."
Zak swallowed, giving Li a reassuring smile. She rolled farther onto her side, her body trembling, despite the warm spring weather. With another flash of a burning sensation, Zak let instinct take over the process. Force, breathe, force, breath, rest, breath, breathe, force. The searing pain that shook her body seemed to ease as a bloody sack of infants pushed out onto the ground. Breathing heavily, Zak turned over and ripped the pup sack open, fresh air exposed to the newborns.
Li had sat down now, watching with wonder, and slight disgust for a short time, as the pups were born. He watched the sack get opened, and hoped the pups would be fine...

Zak collapsed, her breathing coming in deep gasps. She was exhausted. But she had pups. Eyeing the messy pile that lay before her, the newborns numbered five. Five children of their own. Five wonderful lives to raise. But now that she looked, Zak noticed something very peculiar. Only a single pup trembled at the air. Only one our of the five squeaked and fidgeted. The rest lay still.
Li also noticed this one pup, and he carefully stood up and took a step forward. He bent down and gave one of the still pups a lick, but still it did not move. A growing sadness grew in him as he realized that only one of the pups had lived.

Li...." but that was all she could say. Zak's trembling body now ceased it's shaking. She turned one of the still pups over, it's body cold and stiff. One by one, she turned over the pups. Sure enough, all but one of them were dead.
Li sighed and sat down next to Zak. "I.." He didn't really know what to say. He wanted to apologize, because he felt as if it was his fault, even though it couldn't really have been. But then again.. Li being the unstable creature he was, it was possible.

Zak started a sentence, but her words were just stutters. She gave the single living, messy pup a warm lick, shuffling her body closer to it. She gave a weak smile. "Shh...Li. We have a pup. Our very own. Very own pup. Just ours."
Li nodded and looked at the four other pups. "I should go burry them while you rest." He looked around and then picked up one of the limp pups. Carrying it carefully to a little ways away, he dug a small hole and put the pup in it. Covering the hole back up, he did this three more times, until all the pups were buried. Then he returned to Zak and sat down.
Zak smiled faintly at her single offspring. Glancing down, she recognized that this newborn was indeed a female. "Nastrah...." Zak mumbled at her child, "You'll be Nastrah. You'll be our little Ana; you're our love. You're our love and joy, Ana.
From birth to giving birth. To giving life to the dead. To have a light amongst her dead. She rose from her silence and gave life to another. She finally began to realize that she was, indeed, alive.

Li is the only one that could have ever set me from my loneliness. He brought me out of my own shadows. There's no other being that I could ever love more than him. He's for me, and I'm for him. Nothing will ever change that.
