Growls-at-Moon is a Red Talon Galliard.She defends her packmates while the Alpha is away.[1]
Biography[]
Once Growls-at-Moon understood her Garou nature, she became obsessed with her lineage. Indeed, she traced her forebears back to Red Talon legend.
She joined a sept outside Ruthland, Vermont, not far from her birthplace. There she earned a reputation as a fierce protector of Gaia. She delighted in stalking the area's loggers, but chafed at her subordinate role in pack attacks. While storming a sawmill one night, she ignored her pack's leader's order to zigzag. A squabble ensued among the packmates, and the assault was aborted. Growls-at-Moon's alpha, Races-with-Fire, accused her of having violated the Litany. The sept divided over this matter for a time, as both Garou were thought to be headstrong and both had partisans.
Ultimately, Growls-at-Moon was censured, but she was never repentant. She was resentful for a time, but later saved Races-with-Fire's life in a Pentex ambush. He returned the favor, but sacrificed himself in the process. She swore then never to allow another pack mate to die at her side.
It is said that Growls once rescued two fellow Garou simultaneously, though they were on opposite sides of a like. Her only comment on this episode was a low, dismissive growl. (This is how she comments on everything).
Though still not her pack's alpha, Growls feels she deserves to be. Growls-at-Moon is respected in her sept as the sternest of warriors. She is dismissive of weapons and fetishes (sometimes at her peril), invoking her own adage, "We are our own best weapons."

When Growls-at-Moon deigns to take Homid form she attracts lumberjacks of both genders. New England's finest treekillers all stand the same chance with her, though: none. She's a pre-Raphaelite woman of iron, complete with a heart of stone. Her most insistent human admirers are sometimes gruesomely dismembered in the forest by the imposing, dun-colored she-wolf.
