Clearbrook

[close] Clearbrook is an elder of the Wolfriders, lifemate of Treestump, widow of One-Eye, mother of Scouter, and grandmother of Pool.

Calm, dignified and thoughtful, choosing her words carefully, Clearbrook is the eldest female Wolfrider. As an elder, her quiet advice is never overlooked. Both mother figure and warrior, Clearbrook is now an advocate of forgiveness and letting go of the past - but the road required for her to come to that quiet understanding was harrowing. Losing her lifemate, One-Eye, during the original Quest turned Clearbrook into a fierce and vengeful angel of death. Cutting off her long braid and wrapping it around him seemed to cut her off from her usual gentle ways for the rest of the Elf-Troll War. Consumed with hunger for revenge, it dulled her own survival instincts. Hope flared briefly that her lifemate might be returned to her when Leetah tried her desperate healing on One-Eye... but failed.

It took the healing of time to allow Clearbrook to release her grief over One-Eye's death. With this release, Clearbrook was finally free to accept all that Treestump offered. Clearbrook's encounters with Two-Edge, coupled with the resurgence of her usual good sense and gentle nature, led her to embrace forgiveness. Clearbrook has had at least two children in her long life, Scouter and an unnamed daughter.
