HISTORY:               Yesmie loved her family to death, but always found herslef very violent. Because of this, she never had many friends as a puppy, except for her sister. Star was always so meek and gentle, Yesmie hated hurting her, and often acted as her body guard when the other pups wanted to rough house the weak puppy. Yesmie grew quicker than the rest, and was running when they were walking, and catching game when they were still play fighting. One of Yesmie's favorite wolves in her life was her grandmother, the White Wolf. However, Yesmie's mother hated her own, and Yesmie never got to see her beloved grandmother much.

       When Yesmie was about 2, her pack was suddenly attacked by men, and their pack of savage dogs. The strong pack was captured, and the males were all killed, including Yesmie's father. The wolves were locked in a wooden prison to starve to death, unless the men took you away, to skin you. Yesmie had never met men, and hated the mysterious creatures. Often, she would leap at them, and attack them, but they would drag her away, and severly beat her, then return her to the cage to heal, thoughshe was already weak and malnourished. For many weeks, the wolves were prisoned, and they put faith in their alpha to free them, until Yesmie's mother was killed trying to save the life of a young wolf namde Brindle, how had mentally snapped under all the srtess and uncertainity. The pack was devatsed, but Yesmie knew that this was her new role in life. She stepped into her mother's place, and led the pack, keeping them strong an motivated, though she herself was suffering under the beatings. Despite this, Yesmie vowed to protect her pack, including her sister, whom her father had made Yesmie promise to protect.

         Many weeks later, another pack was brought in. This pack was small, but full of unique members. Yesmie first met the pack's beta female, Crystal Dawn, when Yesmie tore a loaded rifle from a man's hands, saving Crystal's life. Yesmie then learned that the pack's name was Aurora Borealis, and they were a young pack, with 4 young puppies. Yesmie took the pack under her paw, and protected them.

         Yesmie's own pack numbers continued to dwindle, and Yesmie found herself on the edge of truly loosing hope. Then, the men left, aloong with their dogs. All that was left was one man, who moved all of the wolves and dogs to a mountain side, where he intended on killing them all. Pulling Yesmie and the other pack's alpha female, Jasmine, from the bed of his truck, he chained Jasmine to a tree and Yesmie to a stake in the ground. Yesmie soon learned that he was about to pull the trigger on his cocked and loaded rifle, and pulled against the chain with all her might, but to no use. She was killed. I single shot to the head.

           Yesmie's pack was soon rescued by the males of the AB pack, and a few remaining males from her own. Yesmie, however was already gone.

          The AB pack learned the next morning, however, not even a shot to the head could keep Yesmie down. The next morning, her strong voice gave the forest a rude awakening, as was her habit. The other pack scaled the mountain to find her alive, healed, and simply beautiful. Her red coat was clean, and it gleemed in the rays of dawn like they had never seen it do. When asked how she had resurected, Yesmie simply said that it was a miracle.

              Yesmie soon took over alpha position of her pack, which they gladly gave to her. She had made a lasting impression on Jasmine and other members of the AB pack, and even on her own. But now, she took up the task of leading the remains of her pack home, to where they belonged.

RELATION TO BALTO:       Yesmie is the White Wolf's granddaughter, and knew her as a puppy.
