The Pack is made up of several clans: Cat, Wolf, Rat, Heavy, Nimble, Jackal, and Bouda. Even if my beast shape followed my father's and not my mother's before Astoria meddled, I was raised in clan Bouda. We're... rather the pack of misfits. We have our own ideas about things and see no reason to simply fall in line. Where's the interest in that? We're also the only pack that runs along matriarchal lines. And we have a tendency not to care what others may think.

[A shrug of his shoulder.] We're bound by Pack law and rules, but we approach them on our terms. ...and we have a tendency to be quite lethal if we're threatened. [He smiles at this, pleasantly enough.]

For my part, even if my beast shape would normally belong in Clan Nimble -- and even if my sexuality complicated matters further -- I've never regretted my choice to remain with my mother's clan.
