History[]

Lone Wolf[]

Dearlea, along with her siblings Mhairie and Faolan, are born to Morag and Kinnaird of the MacDuncan Clan.

She was unnamed along with her littermates at the time she and Mhairie were separated from their mother and brother. Faolan identifies them as wiggling soft things.

In Shadow Wolf, Dearlea is introduced to Faolan by Mhairie. She also helps Faolan during the gaddergnaw by giving him advice and instructions for the byrrgis. She also has feelings for Faolan, like her sister which makes no sense to them at the time.

Watch Wolf[]

Dearlea and her sister, Mhairie, are mentioned by Faolan when he and Edme talk about their time at the gaddergnaw.

Frost Wolf[]

Dearlea and Mhairie, along with Alastrine, are the only wolves in the MacDuncan clan. After the gadderheal meeting is over, Dearlea and Mhairie then travel with Faolan and Edme in hopes of finding their mother, Calia at the Blood Watch.

The group stumbles upon the "Whistler" and Dearlea, with Mhairie, instruct the other wolves on how to feed him the blood of a snow hare. Dearlea and Mhairie then find their mother, Caila, and plead to her, but like many others, Caila is trapped in the trance of the Skaars Dancers and denies them as her daughters.

Mhairie and Dearlea are told by Faolan that they are long-lost siblings. The group then go to the Blood Watch where Dearlea and Mhairie stay there to work for a while.

Dearlea is last seen with Mhairie gnawing bones for the drumlyn of Morag. They then stay at the MacNamara Clan.

Spirit Wolf[]

Dearlea falls into the sea after the earthquake strikes and is pulled onto the ice raft that Faolan and Mhairie were also on. Later, she travels along with the other survivors to The Distant Blue.

Trivia[]

Dearlea is Faolan's birth sister. And although it is said there were two tawny females, Dearlea is a deep brown, but was once tawny like Mhairie.
She, along with Mhairie, were confirmed to be Faolan's littermates in Frost Wolf.
It was revealed in Star Wolf that The Whistler has a crush on her.
Dearlea has a gift for singing.
