Setting
Well known for being activists for women’s rights, Black Furies have a strong distrust of males because of the Patriarchy, including the Garou Nation’s patriarchy. Gaia is female, so is Luna; this is proof enough for the Tribe that there should be a High Queen not a King.

Male Garou within the tribe tend to have a chip on their shoulder, desiring to prove their worth to the tribe, but even if they do, they never rise above Adren rank. The tribe simply does not allow them to lead within the tribe. This has led to most males leaving the tribe for another more often than remaining part of it, an option all males within the tribe are given before they take their rite of passage.

The Tribe as a whole reveres Gaia, but worships the Wyld as their Goddess.

In the past they were feared in Greece as the mythical Amazons, warrior women who hated men, enslaved them, and murdered them. Enemies of the Spartan Culture, and the city state of Sparta. However, there’s a lot of miss information in that and no matter how much they hated men, they still found a handful who worth keeping around. Even if it was simply because they needed a next generation. Often they had numerous male kinfolk who simply lived among them, performing the menial tasks while these Warrior Women went to battle against the Wyrm’s servants and the patriarchy. While women did have plenty of rights in rome, compared to say the United States in the 14th to 19th century, a lot of horrible things still happened and they fought against those things with a Fury that ensured their Tribal Totem would be proud of them.

In more modern days they are quite the same, if not a little toned down in the violence area towards their own kin. They have learned that their men can serve to be more than just breeding stock and even accept the male born Black Fury, they never rise above Adren so they never lead septs or packs of Black Fury but they do get respect and fair treatment, usually. Their focus is mainly on righting the wrongs done to all women, fighting for stronger punishments for spousal abuse and child abuse; and when they can’t win in court they resolve it the old fashioned way. To claim them evil would be incorrect, to claim them misandrists isn’t entirely correct either, they despise those that lord power over others and instill fear in them. As such these strong women fight for those who cannot fight for themselves: any minority group in the United States usually has a good number of Black Fury within them and helping them both with the Law and getting revenge on those who hurt them, but sadly the Black Fury can’t be everywhere all the time.
