| Personality: Open and honest, Bekah makes friends easily. After years spent
with the lukoi in Alaska, she’s gained more control and power from her beast
than she’d have thought possible when she was first infected nearly a decade
earlier. With that control, she’s also gained confidence in herself and her
abilities. Therefore, she never picks at or points out others’ weaknesses, but
rather quietly tries to help them improve. She’s the quintessential mother,
especially after Maia’s birth, and will play the role for anyone who wants or
needs it.
Family: Jake Colter (husband), Maia Colter (daughter), Ray Cunningham (father),
Beth Cunningham (mother), Ronda Cunningham (sister), Nick Cunningham (brother).
History: Born in 1982 in Anchorage, Alaska, Bekah had a fairly normal and happy
childhood. Her parents were married all her life, and there was plenty of
affection among the family. Her older sister Ronda moved to Boston to live
with a boyfriend she’d met in college, and when Bekah was 21, she decided to
move out East as well. Not long after moving there however, she was attacked
by a rogue shifter and infected with wolf lycanthropy. She didn’t realize it
until she nearly shifted in a bar on the night of her first full moon.
Thankfully, she ran into Sean, the current Ulfric of the pack right outside the
bar. He took her under his wing and helped her through her first few days.
Bekah quickly adjusted to her new life, and her parents, when they found out,
were completely supportive. It wasn’t long after that Bekah met Jake, part of
the local rodere. They instantly hit it off, and after some trials (an
abortive pregnancy that mentally took it’s toll on her) they were engaged.
Bekah convinced Jake to let them move back to Alaska to be near her family, and
she joined the local pack of timberwolves. After many months of discussion,
they decided to go to a surrogate to try and have a child. A mutual friend
agreed to carry the child for them, and there were no complications. After
Maia was born, Bekah figured life couldn’t get any better, though stories of
shifters, especially wolves, dying on the East Coast worried her. Finally she
was able to get in touch with Gia, the new Ulfric, and heard about the severe
losses that the clan had sustained. Since Jake’s tattoo art was in high demand
back East, and the plague seemed to be mostly on the West Coast by then, they
decided to move back to Boston. With the newfound determination and confidence
that Bekah had learned in Alaska, she quickly moved up the ranks to Geri.
Strengths: A healthy dose of tenacity – when she sets her mind to something,
she’ll do everything in her power to make it happen, come hell or high water.
Weaknesses: Sometimes a bit too trusting – she does try to believe the best of
everyone. Not too clear-minded when her husband and daughter are in danger.
