Joanna Blackmon
Joanna Blackmon is a Blood Talon Elodoth member of the Crossroads pack in Chicago, Illinois.
Overview
Joanna still thinks of Mannfred the Rune-Marked as the alpha of the pack, even after the name change. He and the three other lost packmates were torn apart in the Shadow near the Chicago River estuary, presumably by the ruling river-spirit. It's been almost two years since this happened, and the pack has resigned itself to the loss. Joanna is eager to find new werewolves willing to join her cause. For now, she's willing to continue her predecessor's vision of improving their territory in whatever ways possible. New blood in the pack might cause her to alter this plan, if there's a better option. Joanna's also open to joining with another pack or perhaps getting aid from a stronger group of werewolves. But at present, she sees no reason to give up just because things are bad - she's a Blood Talon, and a Blood Talon keeps fightin' no matter what.
Joanna is short, with wavy, brown hair and fair skin. Her eyes are penetrating, an intense green-gray in color. In wolf form, her fur is brown with gold and black flecks. Most of the time, she's stressed and worried. The added responsibility of sharing leadership came to her before she was truly ready for it, but the young Elodoth has done the best job she can in trying circumstances.
