Breeze was a small, dark, female chocolate Labrador-Collie mix with brown eyes, large ears and short fur. Breeze, hence her name, was highly swift.

History

In the Original Series

The Broken Path

Breeze appears with Terror's Pack as they confront the trespassing patrol with Fiery, Lucky, Mickey and Bruno. She's slammed by Terror's forepaw, yelping with pain and cowering. At his command, she flings herself at Fiery's head, barking and clawing frantically. She is pinned by him but wiggles free and flies at him again.

Her assault is joined by the rest of her Pack. She and her Pack chase Fiery's patrol away.

Breeze and her Packmates fight Lucky's team and frantically run away when Terror is killed.

The Endless Lake

Although Breeze is not mentioned by name, when Terror's Pack follows Twitch, she, along with five other dogs, creeping out from under a bush after Splash greets Twitch. The Wild Pack are wary at seeing Terror's Pack, but Twitch's Packmates throw their forepaws on the ground, wag their tails, and dip their heads submissively. Twitch approaches his former Packmates and touches his nose to theirs, telling the Wild Pack that he wants to stay with those dogs as they are his Pack now. When some of the Wild Pack members protest, Splash tells them that Terror is gone and they might now be a real Pack, and several of his Packmates whine in agreement.

After Twitch becomes Alpha of the Pack, all the dogs surge toward him, congratulating him, nuzzling him, and barking with amusement.

Breeze is mentioned again, though unnamed, after Alpha's supposed death, when Daisy frets that if the Pack needs an Alpha, then dogs must fight for it. Lucky assures her that it isn't necessary, as when Twitch became Alpha of his Pack there was no aggression, because all of the Pack wanted him to lead.

Storm of Dogs

When Twitch's Pack claim that they want to fight for Storm, Twitch asks his other dogs- Rake, Breeze, Woody, and Omega what they think. Breeze says that it would be an honor to fight beside the dogs who defeated Terror, and Twitch thanks her for speaking. When Twitch announces that they will fight alongside Sweet's Pack, his Pack howls in agreement. After the Wild Pack attacks the Fierce Dog Pack with a giantfur, Sweet tells her Pack and Twitch's Pack that they will fight the Fierce Dogs.

A Pack Divided

Moon is accused of stealing food. Breeze is the dog that uncovers the food, hidden in Moon's den. 

Storm notices that Breeze does not take part in the Great Howl, when asked about it, Breeze says that she does not want to attract the attention of the Fear-Dog.

Lucky's hunting patrol discovers a hilltop where lots of deer scents cross. When approached with the idea that this is the Golden Deer's meeting place, the dogs argue about the existence of the Spirit Dogs, coming down to Bella saying that the Golden Deer is just made up, like the Fear-Dog. However, Breeze firmly objects.

Storm who cannot sleep, takes a walk to see Moon, and is surprised to see Breeze already there. Moon is calming down Breeze, who is worried about Lucky and Snap hunting the Golden Deer. Breeze decides to go back down to her den.

Dead of Night

Breeze and Thorn were on patrol the night that Whisper was murdered.

Breeze, with the rest of her old Pack, bid Whisper good bye as they bury him.

Breeze and Thorn go up to High Watch while patrolling to visit Storm. Breeze asks Storm about Fox Mist, whom Storm was forced to scar earlier that day. After receiving an answer, Breeze and Thorn continue their patrol.

The foxes attack the Pack's camp. When Storm fails to protect the pups due to exhaustion and lack of sleep, Breeze saves the pups, and chases the foxes away from them.

Into the Shadows

Breeze often takes care of the pups and cares about them very much. She tells them many stories to help them fall asleep, making them up as she goes along.

When Rake, Ruff, Dart, and Woody decide to leave the pack, she is asked whether she wants to go with them. Breeze rejects the offer, stating that the Wild Pack has the greatest chances of survival, and that she wants to stay for the pups.

The pups go down to the Endless Lake, believing in a story that Breeze had told them. Breeze, Storm, Thorn, and Beetle save them from the lake, and bring them back to Lucky and Sweet. They are all seen as heroes.

Red Moon Rising

Seeing the way the Pack treats Storm, Breeze suggests that she leaves the Pack for awhile, so that the Pack could see how essential Storm is to their survival, and beg her to come back. She says Storm is the Wild Pack's best hunter.

The Exile's Journey

During her exile, Storm thinks about how the other dogs in the Wild Pack grow wary of her as soon as they begin to trust her more. She realizes that the sudden distrust is due to Breeze's words and suspects that Breeze is the traitor and is manipulating the other dogs into thinking that she's behind it. She starts out to hunt when she just left the Pack and along the way, and discovers a whole pack of wolves.

Later on, Arrow mentions that he wouldn't let a dog like Breeze into his Pack and is surprised that Lucky and Sweet allow her to play with their pups. He claims that Breeze has a dark side, a fierce side. Arrow reveals to Storm that he caught Breeze dragging a rabbit which appeared to be still alive, but it was bleeding. He tells her the rabbit was suffering when she could have killed it swiftly.

Storm later tells Bella about her mate's accusations of Breeze being twisted and cruel and how she allowed the rabbit to suffer. Bella states that kind of behavior isn't unusual in Breeze as she once overheard Breeze telling Rake that "Arrow" was a dirty longpaw fang and a murderer. When Bella reveals to Storm that Breeze didn't call Arrow by name Storm believes that Breeze was talking about her and not Arrow, since Arrow hadn't killed any dog, and she had killed Terror.

Storm is still unsure about Breeze, how can the gentle, friendly brown dog be a traitor? She then realizes Breeze was never surprised or sad when dogs died. After some thinking, she puts together clues. She realizes Breeze is the traitor and the Wild Pack is in grave danger with her still in lurking the Pack. She had realized Breeze had tricked Alpha to exile Storm so she could have the Pack all to herself.

Storm leaves for the Wild Pack in order to stop Breeze. On her way there, she stops by Rake's Pack to gather some information about what Breeze was like in Terror's Pack and the dogs reveal that when Terror forced his dogs to attack one another not only was Breeze afraid but thrilled to do so but remained friendly when they weren't forced to attack one another. They also explain that she was the only truly loyal dog to Terror. She soon finds out that Breeze plans to join them after she's finished with the pups. Storm realizes that "finished with the pups" sounds ominously like a death threat to them.

Storm leaves Rake's Pack and goes to the Wild Pack, where she spies on them for a while, hidden out of sight, to make sure that Breeze hasn't harmed the Pack. She finds out that the Pack is the same as it had been when she left, but is terrified that Breeze will harm someone at any moment. She catches the scent of Dart and speaks with her, along with Woody and Ruff. She spies for a couple of days until Breeze comes. Breeze confesses that it was her all along, she was the traitor dog. She had killed Bruno because he was going to clear her name, she murdered Whisper because he liked Storm too much, she had told a story to Sweet's pups hoping they would wander off and drown in the Endless Lake and did so many other crimes. Breeze then turns around and bites her own leg. Blood splatters onto Storm's face as Breeze cries out the accusation that Storm had bitten her. The dogs in the Pack still didn't trust Storm and thought Storm was lying when she said that she didn't bite Breeze.

More Coming Soon!

The Final Battle

The traitor dog eventually realizes she is in trouble when Alpha says she cannot be with the pups anymore. That day, Breeze digs a hole in the den Storm is being held captive in so she will attempt an escape. It is later revealed that she did this so that she could blame Ruff's death on her, which she obviously caused. Later on she steals Lucky and Sweet's pups away in an attempt to kill them.

After three of the pups, Tumble, Fluff, and Tiny, have been saved, she takes Nibble to the clearing in which Storm had killed Terror. The longpaws had started to create a settlement there, so Breeze hides somewhere and starts to taunt the four dogs, Bella, Arrow, Storm, and Lucky, that had come to rescue Nibble. After they find her, Breeze is on the top of one of the unfinished longpaw dens, and threatens to push Nibble off and onto the stones. Storm tells Bella to find a way up there as she would distract her. She starts speaking of Terror, and distracts her. When Bella reaches the top, Breeze understands what is happening, so they turn and fight. As they fight, Storm rescues Nibble, but Bella turns to them, and Breeze cannons into her haunches and pushes Bella off the unfinished longpaw den and onto the stones. Nibble claims that Tufty will help her down, and that Storm can get Breeze. Storm climbs back up and chases her. After Storm chases Breeze out of the longpaw dens, she steps into the white-mud, and whacks Breeze in the head. She tumbles down, and screams, saying the Fear-Dog demands for Storm to die. Storm sinks her teeth into her throat, killing Breeze. Breeze dies with her blood spreading around, her tongue sticking out stiffly, and blood gurgling from her mouth.

Trivia

• Despite being listed as a patrol dog, Breeze states she is a hunter.
• Gillian confirmed that Breeze is a chocolate Labrador Collie mix, mostly of Labrador.
• Although Breeze is described as a small dog, both Labradors and Collies are medium-sized dogs, with an average shoulder height of 54 cm.
• Breeze was the traitor, as revealed in The Exile's Journey.
• She was probably named Breeze referring to her speed.
• She is probably the worst and most savage villain so far, as she hides her evilness and tends to make dogs (and foxes and rabbits) suffer except for immediately killing like Blade.

"There's nothing glorious or terrible about a simple death. But a long life plagued by fear... or a death that inspires fear in other dogs... those are precious to him" - Breeze to Storm about the Fear-Dog ^{The Exile's Journey, page 266, chapter 20}

"Was that face the last thing Whisper and Bruno ever saw? They must have been so afraid." - Storm's thoughts about Breeze ^{The Exile's Journey (book) page 268, chapter 20}
