Calms the Waters began her time at Whispered Oaths memory-less, scentless and very quiet.  She watched all that was going around her with wide eyes and an almost timid disposition.  She had been found by Loren Song (deceased), known to the nation as Finder of Lost Tales, who cared for her injuries and gave her a home.  When there was conflict between the Purelanders and the other members of the sept, she did her best to relieve that conflict and ease the tensions.  She learned a measure of boldness and leadership in her actions and showed herself possessed of a sharp mind and a gentle heart.  It was through these actions that she learned her deed name.

Eventually the memory of her kin-pack dying around her returned, as did the rest of her memories, in the summer just before a time of pain and joy.  There was a great gathering of garou at her sept.  She met many tribemates and rejoiced upon meeting those of similar minds to her own.  It was also during this gathering that many garou were lost, some of whom she called friend.  She wept for the losses and was comforted by one of the tribemates she had met, David "Black Watch" Monroe.

That following autumn, she lost Loren Song, her friend and confidant.  She was devastated and it took much soul searching and the support of her friends to keep her from falling past the brink of despair.  Jacob "Guards the Secret Sin" Wazowski, her friend and mentor, made the most impact upon her grief.  "...you have to be Loren Song to other people...the only way to make peace with his loss is to fill that void... That hole in the world... with yourself. It will make him happy, wherever he is right now," he told her.  She strove to fulfill that goal through the pain.

She mentored the sudden explosion of younger Children of Gaia in their sept and worked hard to keep the shrines well-kept.  She visited her tribal totem often and tried to quell the conflicts that arose within the sept.  She made her first fetish, bracelets to facilitate communication among the pack alphas.  There was another great gathering at their sept, filled with more losses, this time of those even dearer than before.  Once again she wept for her loss and for the loss of her sept and once again she was comforted by Monroe.

Unbeknownst to her, however, it was only a short time later that her own tears would end.  Corruption had spread rampant within a nearby city and she stood by her septmates and her packmates ready to heal them.  Heal them she did, but she was injured greatly and did not have the will or anger to bring herself back from death's hands.  And so Calms the Waters, Tough Mind, Tender Heart, was returned to the cycle once again.
