(This is the confusing part... This character and the writer share a name. In the interest of clarity, the writer will go by "Sno" while the character is referred to by her full name, or it's written as "Snow." She wasn't supposed to be a main character when I started writing this. D: )

So, do you ever like... fuck up so badly that society crumbles and you are left going "Well, shit," at the after shocks?

That's what happened with Snowhawk. She was born a slave, and after failing as a breeder and gaining a reputation as aggressive, she was sold off. She fell into the hands of on Ulmer Sinisusi, then was given as a gift to Janus. Her talent at gathering information was discovered soon after, and she became an invaluable asset to the young wolf.

The pair bonded, and became almost inseparable. A plan to leave was formed after a severely botched mission, and they started to squirrel away money for this. Things were going well, until one final mission nearly killed her. There was an argument after she was returned home, then soon after that, Ulmer turned up dead.

Snowhawk grabbed her cousin and left.

She doesn't remember what happened to make her kill the old wolf. She just remembers "waking up" with her hand on a piece of glass that was embedded in his throat.

When word got out that Ulmer had been murdered in his own home by one of his slaves... well, everything crumbled.

"Regret" wasn't a powerful enough word for her. Sure, she wanted a change to happen, but not like it turned out.
