Centuries ago in the Homelands, the North Wind fell in love with a blazing white she-wolf named Winter. Taking canine form, he courted her and stayed by her side for two seasons but — due to his nature as an ever changing wind — he eventually turned wind again and flew away, leaving Winter heartbroken. Soon after her lover fled, Winter gave birth to a litter of cubs in the Black Forest, including the one that would become the Big Bad Wolf of legend. As the runt of the litter.
