While I posted these pictures of Fever and Egg earlier, I thought I should challenge myself to do more posts with lore/stylized portraits of my favorite wolves. So here’s part one in a series of Grinning Pack lore posts!
This is Fever, the founder and undisputed leader of the Grinning Pack. She’s a cheerful, outgoing wolf who comes off as mildly creepy at times due to her fascination with illness and death. Fever isn’t particularly strong or agile, but she’s very clever and has a silver tongue. This comes in handy when she’s attempting to recruit new wolves to her slightly cult-ish pack.
Fever started the Grinning Pack’s most unusual tradition; wolves that plan to stay must take on the name of an illness or symptom. She believes that a wolf with an “unhealthy” name is less appetizing for wandering ghosts, monsters spirits that cause misfortune and sickness. Some of her packmates aren’t too pleased with their new monikers, but most embrace them readily enough.
Fever also insists that the pack strive towards one goal; to live as blissfully as possible. They’re all a bunch of hedonists who try to find joy in everything they do. Fever doesn’t tolerate bad attitudes or pessimism, and wolves lacking cheerful dispositions may find themselves chased out of the territory. The Grinning Pack often seems unnerving to outsiders as a result. There’s no way everybody is happy all the time, right?
