{Appearance}
She has a slight webbing between each toe, which allows her to move over snow more easily than comparatively hampered prey. She is a digitigrade, which, with the relative largeness of their feet, helps her to distribute their weight well on snowy surfaces. Her front paws are larger than the hind paws, and have a fifth digit, the dewclaw, that is absent on hind paws.Bristled hairs and blunt claws enhance her grip on slippery surfaces, and special blood vessels keeps her paw pads from freezing. Scent glands located between her toes leave trace chemical markers behind, helping her to effectively navigate over large expanses while concurrently keeping others informed of Sanga's whereabouts. Unlike dogs and western coyotes, she has a lower density of sweat glands on her paws. This trait is also present in Eastern Canadian Coyotes which have been shown to have recent wolf ancestry. She has two bulky coats consisting of two layers. The first layer is made up of tough white guard hairs that repel water and dirt. The second is a dense, water-resistant undercoat that insulates. Her undercoat is shed in the form of large tufts of fur in late spring or early summer (with yearly variations). When shedding she will often rub against objects such as rocks and branches to encourage the loose fur to fall out. Her undercoat is a grey regardless of the outer coat's appearance (pure white). She have distinct winter and summer pelages that alternate in spring and autumn. Being a female Sanga tend to keep their winter coats further into the spring than males.

{History}
She was born as the runt of her litter and almost died from starvation as her mother didn't bother with her as she was the weakest. Eventually she was getting food but still not as recent as her brothers and sisters.
Although she had a bad start in life she grew bigger and stronger until eventually when it was time to leave the den. She happily went out head first into the world and it brought her great luck. She has now started a small clan called The Nythanda Pack and all beacause she took the leap and left the den.
It brought her a new start. A new life. A new beggining.
