Night

Night is a character in the last two parts of @caldafox's Commaful series 'Power of the Pack'. She is not based on a real person and is Grey's mate, as well as the mother of his pups, Jasmine and Snarl (jrs.) Her role is much bigger in Power of the Pack II.

Appearance
When Grey met Night, she was thought of by him as 'almost [as] dark as the night sky', with 'ears like [that of] a fox's. She is a black she-wolf with blue eyes and, as mentioned, smaller fluffy ears. After she had Grey's pups, she got a little fluffier, especially around her chest.

Extended family
Night got separated from her original pack, sometime before her and Grey met. Nothing else is said of her pack in Power of the Pack, but in the sequel a little more is said in part #5, when Night and Grey had an argument. It was said that Night had been receiving howls coming from one of her relatives still, so they were apparently continuing their search for their lost packmate. Night is not originally from Yellowstone, unlike her husband's pack; her pack was settled in the Midwest. This would be Night's real-life pack if she really existed: https://101theeagle.com/midwestern-trail-cam-captures-almost-entirely-black-wolf-pack/fbclid=IwAR3hWhgs3u0HngNWpXcvat7iobsrb2WOUrKL6ETSBNEBqWxO9xIp_-ovwzo                                                    It seems that, presumably, Night's mother was very anxious and nervous, almost dangerously, hence Night's strong concern for her mate's emotions. Due to her strong black-colored fur, it can also be assumed that (like the link) almost all of Night's pack was black-colored.

Close family
Night is Grey's mate. They met in #13 of Power of the Pack (I Found Love), when Grey went for a stroll at dusk. Sadly thinking of his mother, he howled in sadness, and Night responded, thinking it was one of her packmates. Grey first prepared to meet an intruder, but he was shocked to see Night instead of a rogue or coyote. The two talked for a small bit, and then Night asked if Grey would wanna play. (This suggests she was younger then Grey, despite her personality at times) Grey happily accepted, and before long the two were playing around cheerfully. Once they crashed right onto each other, that was pretty much where they fell in love. After that, Grey asked Night if she wanted to be his mate, and she said yes. The two then slept together in a cave for the night, and the next day Grey brought Night back to his pack to introduce her to his packmates. Night fit in right away. The she-wolves loved her. Some 3 or so months after they met, Night had Grey's pups, whom she purposefully named after Grey's deceased mother and brother: Jasmine and Snarl. This touched Grey, and Night did it to attempt helping her husband heal. Night is close to both of her children, being a concerning, advising and considerate mother. Even though they had an argument in Power of the Pack II, Night and Grey have a strong relationship.

Personality
Night is very close-knit and considerate for the sake of her family. Despite technically being the alpha female of Grey's pack, Night does not seem to enforce respect on the other wolves because of this role. She does not want Grey to always worry about their children, supposedly because of her original pack, and also because of her deep love for Grey. She is very shy at times but also firm and kind when she needs to be. Her other 'she-wolf friends' are probably fellow mothers in the pack, like Dawn and Luna.

Trivia

⚫In the very original drafts, Midnight Moon was probably planned to be Grey's mate, and in the post 'Wolf Characters' it originally said that Ocean Eyes would be Grey's mate. Obviously, those ideas were scrapped and forgotten, and 'Wolf Characters' was edited. Night's name and probably existence was inspired by a part in the book 'A Wolf Called Wander' by Rosanne Parry, which @caldafox read before Power of the Pack was made/completed.

⚫Night is one of 5 dark-colored wolves to be in Grey's pack, besides her son. The others were Snarl, Raven, Luna, Pine and Wolf Song.

⚫'Night and Grey' somewhat ironically rhyme with 'night and day'. Their personalities blend well together. Night follows her husband around almost all the time, a very loyal mate. She is probably well-acquainted with Dakota, her father-in-law, as their personalities somewhat match.
