{{
Personality }}
\\ Anat will fight for anything. What she believes is right, to get her way, to prove a point, or protect her friends. She does not trust easily, but is laid back, never revealing her discomfort to any. She can often get caught up in a moment and go too far - especially in fights. Too often, she has hurt those she cares about in fights - resulting in her laid back distance. She does not smile or laugh easily, either, even with her closest of friends. //
{{
History }}
\\ Anat was born to a proud male named Heracles and a shifty female named Eos. She was of their fourth litter and the only one to survive. Immediately, Heracles fell in love with his daughter. In all their other litters, only the males had survived. The strangeness still had Anat's father baffled when he first saw his daughter. She looked like she had been thrown around a bit, so when Eos failed to exit the den with Anat, his curiousity got the better of him. //
// Inside the den, other pups were strewn around, both male and female. There had been two others. Worst of all, Eos was lying motionless near them. A hiss came from deeper within the small den. Heracles was bent over Eos when she took in a ragged breath. She informed him that, in their first litter, there had been five, but the two females and one of the males had vanished in the middle of the night. In the second, things were peaceful, there having been four, and the only female born dead. The third, there had been four, where only two males were left to leave the den. The other two, a male and female, had vanished in the middle of the night. Now, with three and the other two dead, the culprit had been revealed. \\
\\ It had been a badger, soaking wet and covered with mud - too cover its scent? They hadn't thought the creatures were that smart. It had stormed out from deep within the den and fought like it was rabid. As if summoned, the creature stepped from the shadows. Its eyes were wide and glassy, foam trickling onto the rocky surface. Both Eos and Heracles went rigid. It [I]was[I] rabid. Heracles' pale grey eyes landed on his mate. She had been injured by it, and now had its disease. Pain swept over him - for now, she was in her right mind. //
// Eos knew once she saw the badger that her time was limited. With quite the rush, she got Heracles and Anat out, promising that she would go out as a hero and end this badgers threat. (Note that it was not rabid before when it stole pups). As she went for the kill on the badger that had stolen the chances for so many of her own chilren, it snapped out, jaw clamping over her muzzle. Feebly, she had been able to slash its throat, but its jaws crushed the bone, and both were in the arms of Death. \\
