Other tribes look askance at the Furies, who give away or kill their male children. Many outside the tribe see the Furies as man-haters, but the truth is much more complex. Although the tribe tolerates male metis, the Furies have a definite gender bias; they believe that women share a deeper bond with Gaia than any man can know, and see themselves as aspects of the Goddess incarnate. In her name, they Rage against any insult to women, nature or the Goddess. They accept the Triat and the existence of the Wyrm, but when it encroaches on their territory, woe be unto it.

Black Furies maintain strong ties to ancient mysticism. Their rites are complex and quite beautiful, and their Gifts and spirit allies reflect a primal connection to the Wyld. Prior to any great test, a Black Fury will purify herself in a ritual bath in the open under the light of the moon, typically in a glade protected by the Furies. This protection is taken very seriously - though the Wyrm must be fought, if the Wyld places are not protected then there will be nothing left after the last battles. Fury Kin are protected just as righteously, and are often active in their own right working for protection of wilderness and the rights of women.

Black Furies place a high value on their honor; even their hated rivals concede that the tribe can be trusted. Although strong in character, they are few in number and their radical stance alienates many Garou.
