Onyx a 2 year old wolf-shepherd hybrid, is a little unstable like all wolfdogs.

BRIEF HISTORY:
Silent Wolf was born on a ranch in Montana to Kurt Mc Clintok, a gunfighter turned wrangler and his wife Elk at Dawn of the Crow Nation. Silent Wolf was therefore a "breed" (a derogatory term for the children of whites and Native Americans, shortened form of "Half Breed") but she was astonishingly lucky in that she was "passing" ie it was impossible to tell her lineage from her features, only her Mother's raven dark hair betraying her. She inherited her Father's piercing steely gaze as opposed to her Mother's warm, dark one.

Silent Wolf was taught by her Mother from an early age to embrace her Crow heritage and learned much from her Grandfather, Eagle Song, about herbs, the Crow way of life, hunting and horses. Silent Wolf was raised to respect all the animals of the Earth as brothers and sisters, to know that each creature has a spirit.

This mutual respect stood Silent Wolf in good stead when she was helping her Father train the broncs and cow ponies on their ranch. Kurt was a Wrangler, by definition he worked with horses and he was impressed with his daughter's skill at managing even the hardened broncos.

Kurt was also a one time gunfighter, an absolute crack shot and since he only had the one child, he decided to teach her the proper care and use of guns. Silent Wolf excelled in gunslinging, surpassing even her father. She was a crack shot with pistol and rifle alike.

Things seemed to be going fine for Silent Wolf, she was embracing both of her family cultures, she was a fine tracker, scout and horsewoman and could outshoot anyone she ever crossed paths with.

But things never work out the way you want them to. Soon after her eighteenth birthday, Silent Wolf's mother was killed in a terrible riding accident. Kurt tried to continue working the ranch but his heart wasn't in it and the bank soon repossessed the property. Soon after Kurt took to the road again as a gunfighter.

Silent Wolf decided that she should make her way in the world and so she saddled up her three year old Mustang X Quarter Horse colt, Sin, packed her saddlebags and hit the trail to find her Fortune, whatever that may be. For a while she followed her Father then realised she had to ride her own road.

Now she has ridden into Well Springs, her all black attire and reputation speaking volumes about the woman she has become. She has come to Well Springs with a purpose and guns fully loaded...
