Muk and Luk's Mother

Because Muk and Luk had a mom at some point right? so I decided to make her.

I see her being smaller like Muk, maybe Luk was his fathers size. I gave her darker markings to channel Boris a bit. My theory is maybe after getting separated from Maw-Maw, Muk and Luk spotted Boris with their new born eyes and went to him thinking he was her.

Her story? still working on it. but for now it's simply that. while her cubs were still newborns she was attacked by The Bear (seen in the first Balto film) she moved her cubs to a safer hiding spot and then had to lead him away from her cubs in her den (being a young mother her den wasn't hidden every well in the first place). while she was out trying to get The Bear as far away as possible Muk and Luk had wandered out into the open and found Boris & Balto who took in bear cubs.

Maw-maw returned a bit beaten up (the scars on her front leg) but otherwise ok, only to find her cubs were gone.

Her has spend her life trying to find them.

I also imagine that somehow Stella (from the third balto Films) finding Maw-maw by some happy chance and leading her back to her boys.
