Pounce

Pounce is a reoccurring character in @caldafox's Commaful series 'Power of the Pack'. She is based on @caldafox and appears many times in the parts.

Appearance
Pounce looks very much like a red fox, due to @caldafox's love of foxes. Although most of the members in the pack are gray wolves, Pounce is a red wolf, a smaller subspecies that's in between the size of a gray wolf and coyote, but in Power of the Pack she is the size of a gray wolf. Pounce has very blue eyes, a white snout, chest and stomach, and white paws. She is a rusty-reddish she-wolf, the only one that color in the pack.

Personality
Pounce is a very skittish, jumpy and shy young wolf. She has a variety of moods most of the time: crabby (like in #9 after she was shot by hunters) nervous (in numerous parts, like in #3, #4, and #7) shocked (like in #13) and yet brave at certain moments, like with the alliance with the coyotes in #11 and #12 and when Snarl openly mocked her in #1. After her and Snarl had a full-out brawl in #1, she definitely moved down to being an omega wolf {not to be confused with Balto's mate}, knowing her place in the pack and being ashamed when she did wrong. Pounce was not a good hunter, and she dislikes snow, despite the background in the drawing above.

Family, friends and other roles
Pounce was the first wolf in the pack to realize after Jasmine died that Grey was the new leader. When Grey went out to retrieve his father in the Epilogue, he put Pounce in charge as a substitute leader, and for the first time in a while she showed genuine bravery. Pounce was not acquainted with Snarl at all, and he despised her for her shyness and job as a lowly hunter. Other then that, Pounce has many acquaintances, like Dawn, Grey, Thunder Paws, Midnight Moon, Pine, and others. Grey is one of her closest acquaintances, and he said she'd been "a loyal friend for [Grey's] whole life" in the Epilogue when Grey put her in charge. Pounce's siblings are Bark and Red Eyes, who are both based on @caldafox's sister irl. She is close to both of them, and Red Eyes's response when Pounce was shot in #9 was "I just wanna rip them to shreds!" In their backstory, after Bark fell in love with Wolf Song, Pounce agreed to move into Grey's, back then Jasmine's, pack, only to protect Bark and Red Eyes, who'd also agreed to move. In reality, Pounce was very close to her parents, called 'Mother Wolf' and 'Wendall' (not the real names of @caldafox's parents, just code words). Pounce has absolutely no mate, although it was said that she used to like a coyote, and is terrified of anything to do with pups, mates or romance.

Trivia
⚪Pounce is probably around 13-14 months old, because in years those were @caldafox's ages while she wrote the first Power of the Pack (just turned 13) and when she started the 2nd one (age 14). She was 13 months old in the first Power of the Pack certainly, hence her skittishness and shyness. ⚪Some of Pounce's closest acquaintances were the wolves based on @caldafox's closest friends at the time of writing Power of the Pack. ⚪Pounce once wrapped her tail around herself in the cold in part #8, like foxes do irl. She was called a 'weak wolf' and all sorts of hard names by Snarl in his (Snarl's) lifetime. Thus, she didn't like how close him and Red Eyes were.
