Sabine Fendyr was the former Prime Apparent of the Valbaran wolves, Alpha of the Scythe Moon Pack, and mother of Danika Fendyr.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
Sabine grew up with her oler brother Lars, who originally had been Prime Apparent. At some point Sabine challenged him and won the title for herself. It was believed that after he lost to Sabine, she killed her brother. Instead, she sent him into exile. Because Lars and his wife had no pack, they roamed the tundra of Nena with their eleven children. Since then, Sabine has been the heir of her father, the Prime of the Valbaran wolves. Her daughter Danika was officially second in line to the title. Sabine became also the Alpha of the Scythe Moon Pack, which is chief among the shifter units in Lunathion's Auxiliary.
House of Earth and Blood[]
Sabine and her father attend the meeting of the Heads of the City to discuss the release from prison of human rebel Philip Briggs. He has found a loophole that has allowed him to be freed. While at the meeting, Sabine publicly humiliates and blames Danika for the two Crescent City University human research students who got killed near Luna's Temple during the recent blackout. She tells Danika their deaths are her fault because it happened during her shift and in her section of the city. Sabine orders the Scythe Moon Pack to watch Philip Briggs.

Personality[]
Sabine was a cold, petty, ambitious, and cruel female with a narcissistic streak who only cared about her position of power and the image placed upon herself as a result of others' actions. This behavior had been one of the main strains between her and her daughter's relationship up until her death, which only amplified when Danika had officially been given the title of next in line as the Prime of all Wolves instead of her.
Sabine was ruthless and smart and was not afraid to make examples out of those who disappointed her, her daughter included, and held a deep prejudice towards other Vanir and humans, as shown with her attitude towards Bryce whom she refered to as a "half-breed trash." She wasn't afraid to challenge other members of authority regardless of the different Houses. Hunt stated that Sabine "wore every emotion on her face and never once bothered to hide it." Despite this, Sabine seemingly only cared for a few people, particularly those in her family, such as her aging father and Danika, even if it may have seemed fleeting.
Physical Description[]
Sabine was described as looking barely older than her daughter with a fine-boned face, long corn-silk silvery blond hair, and blue eyes. Unlike Danika, Sabine had made the Drop. Though it was never seen, it can be assumed that Sabine's wolf form was much bigger than regular wolves and had a similar grey fur color like Danika.
Powers & Abilities[]
- Shifter Physiology: Sabine had enhanced speed, strength, and healing abilities because of her Vanir status. She had more acute senses and could heal from injuries much faster than a human. She could effortlessly change between her human and animal form.
- Shifting: Sabine possessed the ability to transform into a magically enhanced animal form. Her animal form was that of a larger than average wolf. In this form, she was stronger, faster, and had keener senses than in her human form. She was shown to be a particularly skilled shifter, able to perform partial transformations such as revealing her claws and fangs in her human form.
- Immortality: Since Sabine has made the Drop, Sabine was immortal which not only granted her a slowed and expanded lifespan but allowed her to survive injuries that not even her accelerated healing would be able to regenerate from.
Relationships[]
Danika Fendyr[]
The relationship between mother and daughter had been a strained one. Sabine was the Prime Apparent of the Valbaran wolves and had been her aging father's heir for centuries and Danika had officially been second in line to the title. But for years there had been whispers that Danika should be tapped to be the Prime Apparent, bypassing her mother. Sabine's father had given his granddaughter their family’s heirloom sword after centuries of promising it to Sabine only upon his death. The blade had called to Danika on her eighteenth birthday like a howl on a moonlit night, the Prime had said to explain his unexpected decision. On top of that, Danika had been expected to claim a sea of power that would put her ranking far past Sabine’s after her Drop.
However, despite their strained relationship, Sabine still showed some semblance of love for her daughter as she was distraught over her death, and became enraged by Bryce's involvement in Danika's life. Her love for Danika was further emphasized when she was outraged and heartbroken at Bryce's and Hunt's accusations for killing her own daughter to become the Prime Apparent. She even admitted that she was protecting Danika from the authorities when she stole the Horn by tampering with the security footage. She was also fully aware that Danika's soul was present with Bryce when she made the Drop, even tearfully reciting the same quote found on Bryce's tattoo, "Through love, all is possible," during Bryce's final moments with her daughter back at the Summit.
