She made an amazing setting behind the Iron Mountains and let a simple mistake kill off all but one of Prince Barden’s group. This would give major problems like lack of communication and unwariness. Since she was little the pack had taken care of her but at this point it was up to her to learn how to handle the newcomers. While it seems like this is going to ruin the whole trip Darian manages to save the day with basic body language and hand gestures. Within the plot it is quite apparent that Firekeeper is independent and likes to think that a quick fight like what wolves do is the best way to solve problems. It takes everything in Dariun’ power to “tame” her, luckily she shows sympathy and only does what he says to keep Earl Kestrel off his back. While it may seem like she has little care for many people she just sees it as a pack and puts those below her out of her mind, the Earl is one of those while Darian is on a more equal foot in her
