Character & History
  Personality: Though Rivulet used to be a really carefree elf, always in for a joke or a game and more into the starblood, her time in the caves has completely changed her. Her wolfblood has helped her survive, and for a long period she had completely given herself over to it. Though she lives a bit less in the now after rejoining the tribe, she’s still aggressive, strongly protective of her cubs and fiercely stubborn in whatever she believes is the right way.
 
History: Second child to Holdfast and Calmheart, the young Sparkle was named for her fiery hair. Her brother had been claimed in a hunting-incident more than a 100 years before, after a long life, so her parents new recognition came as a huge surprise. Rivulet grew up with doting parents, and because of that was a very open and happy child.

She loved flirting and enjoyed life to the fullest, and was shocked when she recognized with Brownfur, who often seemed to prefer the wolfpack above the tribe. Still, she stayed together with him while their son, Preybird, was growing up. After their cub was old enough, she moved out of the den again, leaving her son who obviously took after his father behind.
Her whole was turned upside down when a hunting party that consisted of her, Longdusk, Stonefist, Brownfur, Autumn and Axefall rode into a troll-trap. In blind panic, Rivulet activated her until that moment undiscovered stoneshaping-magic, and saved herself. Her control wasn’t strong enough to save anyone else. It did mean the trolls wanted to keep her alive. After all, her magic meant a lot less work for them!
Arrowflight, who turned out to be still alive after more than 50 years of being missing, and Rivulet tried to escape, but soon found out her skill was too unfocused to release them from their iron bounds. The two were kept in a constant state of exhaustion and had turned into creatures more beast than elf to survive the labor and torture.

Still, it came as a total surprise to the trolls when they, after 25 years of imprisonment, suddenly fought like demons while using their elfin-wit to escape again and again. Arrowflight and Rivulet had recognized, and fought to protect their yet unborn youngs. When the trolls found out, Rivulet was treated a bit better for a while, though their guards doubled. They found out the reason only minutes after Echo and River saw their first (artificial) light. Their captors had an interest in the two young elves, and took them away. Arrowflight died trying to protect his children.

Afterwards, Rivulet collapsed, unable to handle both the loss of her children and the only friendly soul she had seen in 27 years. The trolls, realizing they would lose their other slave too if they didn’t react, gave her back River. But, if she would do
