Biography Claudetta left as soon as Falézémonæ gave her the word. "Alright!" She called. "Better keep up!" She told him with an excited laugh as she nimbly leapt up each layer of the stone, this time without the tripping and falling, passing the scattered bones she's placed as decoy's around the theatre. They hadn't been disturbed as of yet but vultures and crows that saw them as they flew over head would definitely swipe them. At the top, it was hot, and Aristaios found herself panting, after her quick warm-up, but the cool morning breeze soon refreshed her. Falézémonæ wasn't far behind her, and she praised him when he reached the top. "Not bad!" She said, nodding approvingly at him.
"The herd is down there..." She gestured with her paw, they were a little way off, as she'd expected, but from what she could see, they were jostling with one another to get at the water from the underground spring. It looked like a fine day, except a gathering of young male lions were wandering the outskirts of gazelle herd, unsure if they could make a successful kill or not. "If we make a kill, those lions will attempt to steal it from us..." She ventured carefully. "I can run down two gazelle calves at most, leave them for those males then come back around to you to help you with the gazelle you've picked out...err that is if you need help bringing it down...You probably won't..." Claudetta didn't finish her sentence because she'd forgotten this was Falézémonæ she was hunting with and not her sister. "I'll run down two of the calves, three...at most." She said quietly. "Least that way the lions will leave you alone and you can get away with the bigger kill...I'll sneak off once they turn their attention towards the calves I brought down..."
Claudetta moved along before he could protest. She and her sister were always risking things like this for gazelle meat. It was much more pleasant, and Claudetta did think it tasted much more succulent than that of mice. Claudetta was the one to distract any potential animals that may decide they wanted to steal an easy meal. She'd put on an act, pleading them not to take her measly kill and then flee, allowing them to steal the smaller kill, while she raced after her sister, grabbed ahold of a leg of the gazelle her sister had brought down and dragged it up the slope, back towards the den. Claudetta loved those days. She was putting her faith in Falézémonæ to pick one of the gazelle that wouldn't be to heavy to drag up the hill, but would also be large enough for them both to share, though if it were to be slightly on the smaller side, Claudetta would allow Falézémonæ to eat his fill before she even went near the carcass, he would have earnt it in dragging it back to the den.
At the bottom, Claudetta crouched low, her belly just grazing the parched ground, grains of sand were stuck in her paw pads, but she didn't mind. Her eyes scanned the herd, picking out the two weakest gazelle. She found her targets soon enough; an older female, attempting to get near the water but was just shoved aside by younger, stronger gazelle, and at her side was a skinny calf. Claudetta wondered how they'd survived this long in the heat, let alone the giving birth to that calf. "I'll go after these two." Claudetta decided, still crouched in the shadows, waiting to see the gazelle Falézémonæ had picked out.
Breeding Info N/A
| Personality Claudetta is a female whom doesn't cope well in crowded situations. She's the one who'll often take up watch during the night, and sleep for a few hours every morning when the den is empty.
Preferences Claudetta's past affects her greatly when night falls, so as a result, she chooses to stay as the night watch. She prefers it if things didn't get too cramped with other wolves, but she doesn't mind confined areas such as small cave dwellings because she grew up hiding in all sorts of caves that offered shelters for her and her sister.
Special Skills Claudetta's skill that she's found to aid her immensely during the first few years of her life with her sister, is her ability to stumble upon cave dwellings that are no longer used while she played and entertained herself during the time that her sister was out hunting.
Claudetta's ability in finding these small caves offered her and her sister much needed protection from the scorching heat of the day, but because the rocks were also warmed by that blistering heat during the day, they were also a good place to curl up in during the night when temperatures could drop into the negatives.
