Hickory

Hickory is the mate of Hail and the mother of Gale.

HISTORY
She and Hail were happy together as mates, untill Hickory became pregnant. Terrified of fatherhood, Hail tried to leave her in the dead of night, but she caught him and clawed out his right eye before he left. Hail's depth perception never recovered.

ROLE
After Sol talks some sense into Hail, he returns and tries to apologize to her. Hickory has not forgiven Hail, but their children overhear the two conversing and tackle their father to the ground, and Hickory reluctantly gives her mate a second chance.

Hickory accompanies Hail when he returns to Wyldwood to give the Grayfur some help against the invading Blackheath. When Hail is killed in battle, Hickory and her children join the Snowpaw as founding members.

PERSONALITY
Hickory has a fiery temper, and frightens almost everyone she meets. When Hail tried to leave her, she was angry enough to maim his face. This is the main reason Hail was so afraid to return to her.
