Aurora:

In June 2018 when we first entered the Southwest forest back when the animals still lived there, my patrol and I stumbled across three wolves who were loners at the time when we first met them; those wolves being SageEyes –then Sage–, her mate, HawkTalon –then Hawk–, and her sister, HopeWhisper –then Hope– and SageEyes was expecting HawkTalon's pups around this time and knowing that there was a threat in the forest, I made the decision to bring them with us the live in the Forest Spirits Division while HopeWhisper decided to live in the Shade Hunters prior to SunPelt's exile though she was in the Forest Spirits Division for a while until NightStone had recived an apprentice. And during the first battle against the Diablos which was on June 30th, 2018, SageEyes gave birth to OspreyTalon, NightTuft, BrindleHeart, and Doe.

In June 2019, another loner named Cinder and her pups, Strike and Berry, were founded by a patrol that Bellatrix was a part of and the three were brought to the new Forest Spirits Divsion to live with us. Then came another she-wolf.
...
Date: July 13th, 2019.

"Aurora, HawkTalon and his patrol are back and they've brought back yet another loner with them." PineNeedle reported, sounding a bit displeased and angry as she spoke to us about the matter. I was in the Den of the Leader with Chief ArrowHeart and MoonStone discussing the best way to take down an enemy rather than killing them right on the spot after I told them about the incident two days prior. "All right, we're coming." I said. Then me, Chief ArrowHeart, and MoonStone stepped out of the Den of the Leader to greet HawkTalon's patrol where we met the lone that they brought back; it was a very beautiful red she-wolf with forest green eyes and darker red ears and paws. "And who may you be?" Chief ArrowHeart asked her. "My name's Red." She told us. "I was eating a squirrel that I tracked down and killed today when the patrol spotted me and I fought off the head of the patrol because I thought he was going to take the squirrel for himself but as it turns out, he wasn't going to do that and another wolf who I think is named Eagle offered me to come with them and I accepted it and here we are."

MoonStone: "I see. Mind coming with us for just a second so we can speak?"

Red: "Sure."

Then all four of us headed to the Den of the Leader.
...
"Now, Red, let's discuss more about this." Chief ArrowHeart began when we went inside of the den. "Now, to start off: I am Chief ArrowHeart, the leader of the Forest Spirits Division which is the name of the Division you're in right now and this is my joint leader, MoonStone and the leader of the Protectors of the Northeast Forest, Aurora. In each Division, there are five positions: Healers, Fighter, Hunters, Trackers, and Messengers. You must one of these five positions wisely. You can always change your mind later on."

"I think I'll go with Tracking, sir." She replied. "I think I'd do well."

Chief ArrowHeart: "I know you will. Now, to make you a full member, I will give you a last name soon enough, but you will be referred to as Red for the tright now and we welcome you as a Tracker of the Forest Spirits Division. Compass, our Lead Tracking Animal will teach you how to become a Tracker for this Division and you will receive your official name if he is satisfied with your progress and he will report it to me. Your training will begin today and tomorrow up until you are ready."

Red: "Sounds like a plan to me."

Chief ArrowHeart: "Good. I will mention it to the Division when all of the patrols come back. In the meantime, you will be training with Compass and assist him with training the Tracking apprentices as well."

Red: "Got it."

MoonStone: "I'll lead you to the training area."

Red: "Thank you, sir."

Then the two wolves left. And from then on, Red became another member of the Forest Spirits Division who would later turn out to be an excellent Tracker in the end.
