Storytelling Hints
Marcela is a stern, disciplined woman who is fanatically devoted to her family and tribe. She follows the laws of Silver Wolf with a religious devotion and is quick to come down on any member of the pack who strays from the path. She spends much of her time trying to achieve personal physical perfection, taking immense pride in her skill and fitness. The approval of her father is paramount to her and the closest she comes to disloyalty is a wish to be his successor.
