NOTES/HISTORY: He was born a wolf cub to a Black Fury lupus mother during a waxing full moon, and spent his first year as a wolf cub learning the ways of the wild. Though he was stronger, faster, and smarter than his kinfolk siblings, and despite his Ahroun auspice, he was gentle of spirit and disposition, earning him the name Cricket-Chirps-Softly from his mother. But she knew that he had been bred true, and that his life as a Black Fury would be misery that he did not deserve. So shortly after guiding Cricket out of his first change, she took him to an elder Stargazer to be brought up without the stigma of prejudice. Cricket stayed with his mentor for two years, learning everything that was put before him, before being put to the winds to learn things that could not be taught by his mentor.

Line Three: Restoring what his father damaged. Some regrets, but no great mistakes.
Line Two: Correcting his mother's error, a son must not be too strident.
Line One: Correcting his father's error, a son treads dangerously close to dishonor. Yet sparing his father from blame brings good fortune in the end.
