Pebble

Cherubic, indomitable veteran Howler—the 'mother of the pack'—who has seen more battles than Ragnar ever did.

Story so far

Pebble is one of Darrow's oldest and steadiest Howlers, a cherubic-faced Gold woman of thirty-three who looks younger than her years yet has fought more battles by now than even Ragnar saw. A veteran since the Institute—where Cassius, Roque, and Antonia once mocked her before the Passage—she rode back with Mustang after besting House Apollo and never stopped fighting. On the Deepgrave raid she serves at Darrow's side with quiet fortitude, married to the joker Clown (whom she has Thraxa smack on her behalf), and gently advocates for young Rhonna's chance to prove herself.

Darrow names her the true 'mother of the Howlers' to Sevro's father-figure—the warm, unbreakable heart of the pack.
