History: Swifteye was born in the autumn season. Being a part of a very small tribe. The tribe had branched off ShadowPool Tribe many years ago. Someone did not agree, and exile happened. Several of those who were exiled made a new tribe. This tribe had dwindled in size, lessening more as the years came. None were magic users and they didn't recognize. They hadn't recognized in many years. Though they tried to have cubs, but had failed. With battle and sickness.. The tribe was down to few.

When Cloudshadow realized she was pregnant with Swifteye, she let Stronghammer know, and in the night, they had left. They did not want Swifteye to grow up in a holt that would lead to loneliness and death. They knew of the wolfriders, the tales they've heard. They hoped to find them, to let Swifteye know her heritage and the holt that they were originally from.

Their travels lasted several turns of the season, so many years had passed and Cloudshadow gave birth to Swifteye during the travels, but could no longer go on. After giving birth she felt weak for a bit, and then she started to feel worse and then that's when she knew, she was going to die. They stayed with her for five days, and on the last day she had passed away in the night. Swifteye was a newborn without a mother and Stronghammer needed to do something, something to keep her safe and so he found a small cave to call home. He'd then find cattle, milk them, and feed Swifteye the best he could.

He did a good job and the seasons went by fast. Swifteye started to walk, and eat solid foods. It wasn't too long that she learned to hunt and fight while traveling with her father. So many more seasons passed and Swifteye learned that the smell of blood made her gag, and the smell of smoke made her choke. Though Swifteye wasn't much of a killer and gagged at the smell of blood, she enjoyed the taste of meat like any wolfrider would.

She became quick, and learned how to track animals, track humans, and track really anything that moved or could be tracked. She could follow the trails they left behind, when it had been days or when they seemingly didn't exist to others. One day however, her father went hunting and Swifteye learned to stay a good distance away, or behind the wind current, so she would not have to smell the blood. Though, she herself didn't realize they were being tracked, It being a large feline, who was hungry and was on the hunt. As it pounced at Swifteye, her reaction was slow, but Stronghammer's wasn't, he intervened protecting his daughter as he always did, but he was tired and weak with age. He did not survive the attack but the feline was not satisfied, as it had threw itself at Swifteye again. Swifteye dodged, than dodged again, and did so again until she was able to get away. This took a good while, and in the end it was more a battle of who had more stamina, Swifteye being the winner.

She was safe, alone, nothing more to do then search and think but after 16 more turns of the season, she was near mountains, in a snowy area. She could smell blood in the snow and in the distance, it made her stomach turn. She could also smell other elves, and She had noticed bits of thread along the snow, furs...

---------

Footsteps as she got a bit closer. She had entered the territory of the GoBacks. She had heard only few stories of them. Not like the wolfriders. GoBacks where everything that Swifteye was not.
But she was tired. Exhausted. She wanted to find a place to call home. She hoped she could prove to the GoBacks she was worthy with her tracking skills, because her fighting skills were not great.
Maybe they could help her. Change her. Get her used to the blood, to the fighting, to the kill. That idea did not sit well with Swifteye. But she had to try. She did not know where the wolfriders were, or how much longer it would take to find them. She had to convince the GoBacks that she is strong.

While living with the Go-Backs she had found family. Nyrah, Formally known as Night Arrow, around the same age as Swifteye and very similar in appearance. Their twin daggers were the truth behind their lives. Their mothers were sisters, twins, but their mothers didn't look alike either. However both mothers died of malnutrition when giving birth. The highones work in mysterious ways.

Swifteye had found her first romance on the Go Back mountain. The romance started in the Longdays. He was a Go Back male named Danik. Though his blood was that of a hardy Go Back, he was gentle, soft voiced and shy, except when he entered the battle field and had to fend for his life. But Swifteye accepted him as he was. Finding him far more pleasing than the regular boastful Go Back.

--
After the war with the trolls, Swifteye decided to take up on lessons from Sala. Learning different ways of how to aid in physical pain. She also learned a bit of the past from Sala regarding her lovemate.

Swifteye expressed to Meeran how she see the female as a mother figure and that's how she likes to remember the mother she never met. After this, they decided that Meeran could be Swifteye's adoptive Mother and Toma her brother.

--

In 15 years Swifteye has trained to be a better elf. Being better at tracking as well as healing. However, while Nyrah goes through her own issues, Swifteye consistently stands by her side and continues to support Nyrah. Swifteye one day awakes from her sleep when she feels something snap inside of her. Howl has died. The snap was her connection with her wolf bond breaking. She wakes her cousin to go with her, only to find that Howl had died from an old troll trap long forgotten about. Too far out for the wolf to send to her bond, her blood loss led her to a long death. Swifteye struggles to face trolls with happy face after this, and she does not search out another bond due to fear of another piece of her heart breaking.

Swifteye has also decided to 'move in' to Danik's room in order to be with him more often, plus his warmth keeps her comfortable. Though there are still times she may end up sleeping with Nyrah.
