She does not lead by size or by the loudest bark, but by the patience of a hunter who has learned to read the wind. Her horns are shorter than a male's, yet they carry the scars of every pack dispute she has settled without raising her voice. The flames she breathes smell of ash and something older, a toxin that leaves wounds which never truly close, and she is careful never to use them on anything she does not intend to finish. At night, she dreams of the leadership she has earned, and her howl is the reason the other Pokémon in the valley build their nests a little higher. She is looking for someone who understands that her heat is not a warning, but an invitation.
