Roxa

First Pack Leader of the Rownaks

She is a woman who would never make for a brood mother, her spirit is too wild, too free. And to break that means you make her a shell of what you fell in love with.
— Gervx explaining to a Rownak why he shouldn't marry Roxa

The firey spirit of her people, Roxa is a wild woman with a deep caring for her people. First to rise to a call of arms and last one off the battlefield to account for those that need help. Often seen as a very stern, abrasive, and even hostile woman, though to those she allows close they find her caring and even loving. Roxa is also completely enthralled with her purpose in the hierarchy of the Rownaks, enjoying teaching young men and women how to hunt and ride as well as combat, scouting and hunting for her tribe, and then preparing the next Alpha to take over her place before becoming Alpha in their own right.  

Personal History

Born to Direx and Reva she was a strong-willed baby that turned into a strong-willed toddler and finally into a headstrong teen. From an early age, she was groomed to be a great huntress, to replace her father as to when he grew too old to perform his rank's tasks. While her mother instilled a love for the tribe's favored beasts and how to care for them. Roxa would come out with a good mix of her parents as well as her own person.   Through her childhood she hung around with the Alpha's son, Gervx, the pair getting close their parents assumed they would become bonded and have the next batch of Alphas growing by the time they hit adulthood. Even when he gave her a rifle and she took it no one was surprised.   When she was about sixteen years of age Gervx's father passed on and allowed his sone to claim his title. Roxa standing behind him and being made First Pack Leader because of events that would follow and lead to a small rift between the two. The following year Gervx would make an offer of having a child with her in an exchange for her companion to be given permission to bond with Gervx's companion.   Roxa would agree and give Gervx a son, his only son Jerlix, but she would never collect on the clutch of eggs promised to her. Going back to her life's work as First Pack Leader. She was one of the best, her and her hand-picked hunting party would be successful at almost every hunt they went on thanks to Roxa. Even when her son joined her in training to replace her when she stepped down from her title she was still just as good if not better at teaching the next generation of Alphas.
