*<font style="color:#4B371C">'''"The Lost Boys"'''</font> - Buck is one of the Lost Boys. If you are too, you might recognize her as a semi-active member of the network. If you're a member of one of the supernatural communities, you might find it odd that she seems to turn up in Supernatural Business upon occasion.
*<font style="color:#4B371C">'''"Doom Patrol"'''</font> - Wes joined up with Philly's Storm Lords just before the The Wounding of Bancroft went down. She wasn't a part of the battle, but she's been trying to keep her head down ever since... which isn't very becoming of a Cahalith, or a Storm Lord, now is it?


*<font style="color:#4B371C">'''"Ex-Military"'''</font> - Buck served in the Army for nearly 10 years. She did more than a few tours in Afghanistan, but not much is known about her service record. Maybe you served with her? Maybe you spotted her at the VFW Hall? Maybe you just recognize her bearing as someone trained to be dangerous.
*<font style="color:#4B371C">'''"Lumberjanes"'''</font> - Wes is queer, and very vocal about her transness on social media, and when asked in interviews about her comics. Maybe you think that's pretty inspiring. Maybe you're a fan of queer comics characters. Let her know!


*<font style="color:#4B371C">'''"K-9"'''</font> - Buck frequently travels in the company of a big, grey Akita Inu. His name is Buddy, and he occasionally acts as a service animal when Buck's chronic pain flares up. Yes, you're free to give him some love so long as he's not working. You'll know because he's wearing his harness.
*<font style="color:#4B371C">'''"Werewolf By Night"'''</font> - Wes is a bit of a night owl. Peak creative hours for her occur between 10 PM and 3 AM, so that's when she gets most of her writing... and existing done. Are you nocturnal? So is she! Is it daytime? Fuck, she's exhausted.


*<font style="color:#4B371C">'''"Big Cop Energy"'''</font> - Buck is a US Marshal. Yeah, she has Cop Energy. It's unfortunate for someone who wants to spend time in queer spaces. She's <i>well aware</i> of what weight her profession carries in the modern world... which is why she frequently works with the Office of Professional Integrity to police internal corruption.
*<font style="color:#4B371C">'''"The Nine Hells"'''</font> - Wes's first ongoing comic series "The Nine Hells" was the first arc of a pulp barbarian story in the vein of Robert E. Howard's Conan. To an outside eye, it's just a tremendously quality story with reverence for it's influences that still manages a feminist critique of the the way women and indigenous peoples were depicted in the Sword and Sorcery genre for decades. The perceptive Uratha might notice more than a few veiled references to their legends and lore.

I'm not saying anything
I'd rather walk to my grave
And all the bells you can ring
But I forfeit
So it goes
I'm not doing anything
I gave up on winner's faith
I gave up on feeling brave
And I forfeit
So it goes


"The Highwomen", The Highwomen

I was a preacher
My heart broke for all the world
But teaching was unrighteous for a girl
In the summer I was baptized in the mighty Colorado
In the winter I heard the hounds and I knew I had been found
And in my Savior's name, I laid my weapons down
But I am still around
