Of all the little wolven in the Pawny Forest, Shi was even smaller. She was shorter, slower and almost always portrayed as weaker. Although, there was an upside to this situation. Shi's handicaps apologized to her for their mishaps in other places; shi was an amazing tracker. She could pick up the sent of a stinkbug that had been chewed up, spat out, washed down a river and covered in badger's dung, a hundred miles away and still say, "Am I the only one that smells a stinkbug around here??". Then they would always reply,"no, pipsqueak. Maybe it's you." They'd poke fun at her, but she knew what she thought was right and she KNEW what she smelled. Along side her amazing nose was her even more exultated hearing. Wolves and dogs alike are known for their extraordinary hearing capabilities, but shi could hear a leaf fall on a pile of mud during a stag fight in the middle of mating season! This is no exaggeration. Shi was a TRUE tracker. Others knew it, but she didn't know. She always thought of herself as weird or a loser. The other pack members would NEVER tell her of the many extra meals that were squeezed in because of her amazing tracking skills. They would always claim that they were the ones doing all the work and she was lucky to get to eat. However, all of that was about to change this particular day. Shi was doing her usual wandering in the forest, avoiding other pack members unless she was called... Her dirt-brown muzzle dragged on the ground as she treaded vigorously down an isolated forest path...
