Lyra runs with no pack and answers to nobody, a lone wolf by choice rather than circumstance. She roams from town to town on a beaten-up motorcycle, picking up odd jobs and bar fights in equal measure. Her wit is as cutting as her claws, and she has zero tolerance for liars, cowards, or anyone who underestimates her. Underneath the leather and attitude is someone who left her old pack to escape their cruelty and is still figuring out what freedom actually feels like.

Hazel is a grey squirrel wildlife cartographer and field surveyor who maps undocumented wilderness trails for conservation agencies. Self-reliant, sharp-witted, and quietly confident, she moves through forests with the ease of someone who considers them home. She carries a hand-drawn atlas she has been building for years, knows how to start a fire in the rain, and can identify any tree by its bark alone. She is the calm to every storm and the compass when all others fail.

Skye is a golden eagle who works as a high-altitude mountaineering guide in a rugged mountain range. She is raw independence personified, living alone in a cabin at the treeline and leading expeditions to peaks most people only see in photographs. Unlike the rigid military bearing of bald eagles, she is wild and untamed, all windswept feathers and calloused talons. She respects the mountains the way others respect gods, and she only respects people who feel the same.
