Character information

Name:

James
His name comes from the Hebrew meaning 'the heel' and 'undermines'.
I chose his name because before he met Danielle he did exactly that, undermined others and he was looked down upon for it.

Gender: Male

Birthday: December 8th

Age: 23

Religion: Changes from Atheistic to Christianity

Personality:

James started out an angry young wolf constantly seeking the death of others. A little harsh maybe, but very true anyways. James did not do much else but hunt until he met Danielle. After he met her, he began to warm up to her and realized maybe there was something better in the world. James doesn't have much else to him, without Danielle he would be alone in this harsh world. He is respectful towards her and open with her but not towards any others.

Why I Would Like Them & Use:

I really love these two characters and I think they fit together nicely! Danielle is one of the cutest art pieces I have seen on CS so far! I love that she only has three legs yet the art still portrays her with energy and the lack of her ear shows she's been through life and come out successful. Her eyes are filled with a sense of wonder and hope to get her through the rough nights and I admire that. Not only that but the stunning orange makes me want her even more; orange is by far my favorite color. I think James goes well with her and I'm interested in getting/creating a piece of art with the both of them in it to put on my trade thread and/or settings; but one of them is a definite, possibly both. Although in James' artwork he is portrayed as a puppy I think that with a revamp or two he can be seen as a handsome male with a kind demeanor, perfect to join Danielle. I would like the two to be portrayed as friends yet lovers and I will make good use of them and cherish them very much!

Danielle and James' History:

This is the story of Danielle and James. Danielle and James were a rather curious two who didn't start their lives together, they started their lives separately but ended up together and this will explain...

Life Before Danielle

As dusk settled over the large field surrounded by trees, five male pups were born into a small pack of wolves at the edge of the woods. As a few weeks passed these young wolves began to open their eyes and soon began to explore. They did not say much of anything to each other, they simply knew what they were doing, what order to do it in, and who got to lead. The leader was James. He was cocky and the largest of his litter, automatically making him the leader. The rest of the wolves followed similarly, in size order with the runt in the back. Their exploring consisted of jogging the length of the field and that was all, they were not allowed into the forest just yet. As they began to get bigger and stronger they began to fight one another as was their custom. Their mother left them immediately after they were weened and a new male figure was put in place. The wolf was not their father but they respected him as such. The wolf showed no mercy or pity towards the young wolves and began to train them in the art of fighting and killing. The runt of the litter was much smaller than the rest and much kinder, this in turn fared badly for him. He refused to fight his siblings and the large wolf in charged bit through his neck showing no signs of any kind of care. The other pups did not care either and buried him as if he had not mattered at all. As summer arrived the wolves were forced to hunt and kill small game to prove their worth to the clan and one of the pups died from the heat and lack of water provided to them. This brutal hunting system continued into the fall and even into the winter. It was a brutal winter filled with constant blizzards and the three young wolves fought for their existence every single day. One day James and his brothers were on a hunting trip deep in the woods, farther than they had ever been before. Little did they know they were almost upon a society unlike their own. A society with more morals and guilt for wrongs. As the boys searched for game a wolf appeared in the distance and the boys became aggressive as was their custom toward outsiders. They began to bare their fangs and bark at the strange wolf. The wolf stopped in its tracks and stared in their direction only to continue on its way. Suddenly James wanted to kill this wolf and he sprinted after it leaving his brothers confused in the freezing weather. When the wolf noticed James advancing on him he began to run yet at a slower pace than the vicious James. Soon James came upon the wolf and as he leapt at the wolf he fell upon snow seeing the wolf dodge to the side. The wolf peered at James and made no apparent move to attack, he simply stood and watched James. James flashed to his feet and lunged for the wolf again only to slam his face into a tree that had only moments before been behind the other wolf. The wolf was to the side saying nothing and doing nothing. James huffed an angry sigh at the wolf and challenged him, "Fight me for your honor!" "There is no honor in fighting but you wouldn't believe me, you're from the Blood Clan of wolves. All they seek is the blood of everything living.", the wolf replied as if it was common knowledge. "What's your name?", the strange wolf questioned. "What is it to you?! Who do you think you are?!" James howled in rage. "Well I'll put it quite simply. I am Veed, an old member of Blood Clan and I now reside in Xama, a small building not far from here. If you wish you could join us and quit these horrors.", the wolf now known as Veed explained. "And why would I ever do that?", James began to get fed up with all of the speech and lack of fighting. "Well we do have a fight club every Thursday night, if you even know what days are yet. That should, in time, quench some of that hunger for fighting and spilled blood." Veed explained rather hurriedly as the snow picked up. "Fine, I will join your pathetic Xama Clan." James mumbled. In his thoughts James carried alternative motives and Veed seemed to sense this as he said, "You touch any member of my family and I will slit your throat open. This is not a clan. This is a family and we care for each other. We don't kill each other." Veed gave James a death glare before leading him to the Xama house. Once arriving Veed again asked, "What are you called?". "I am James.", he shuffled his feet at the entrance and suddenly Veed through the doors to the broken down house open. He heard the voice of a female voice inside only vaguely because of the howling wind and he could not see anything or anyone as Veed was blocking his view. Suddenly Veed said, "Oh not so fast Darlene, I have a new member as well."


Life Together

Darlene introduced Danielle and they settled among the group awaiting Veed's new member. Veed walked into the room and coaxed a young wolf that was large for his age into the room. Once the wolf entered there was a hush in the room and all eyes stared at this new member. "This is James", the red wolf said dipping his head towards Darlene. Darlene introduced herself to the new wolf and introduced Veed and Danielle to each other. Suddenly Veed began to speak, "I know you are all thinking it, and yes, this wolf is from Blood Clan." Veed eyed James suspiciously and treated him with an odd kindness compared to James' cold shoulder. There was a chilled silence in the dark room until Darlene spoke, "Alright everyone don't be shy, introduce yourselves!" Danielle was surrounded by dogs and wolves trying to meet her while James got an occasional older wolf or dog with a warning towards him. Danielle could not make out the different names and voices or who they belonged to and she began to whimper.

"Alright everyone, give her some space, she may not be used to tight spaces.", a female dog said beside her. The dog was bigger than Danielle only because she was full grown and her fur was cream colored with occasional brownish speckles. Her eyes were the bluest blue, much like what Danielle believed the ocean looked like. Danielle immediately asked her name. "I'm Creita, I've been here for a few months now.", she said. The dog seemed to be muddling through something in her mind and finally spoke, "I can show you around if you want?". "Yeah!", Danielle answered excitingly. As Danielle began to follow Creita up a flight of rickety stairs she stole a look at the new wolf. He was very handsome with a jaw line of steel and deep, rich brown eyes. Danielle was surprised at her kind thoughts towards him and turned to follow Creita up the stairs.

James stood with his broad shoulders eyeing all the males in the room, almost daring them to fight him. An older wolf approached him with a glare in his eyes and said, "Quit what you're doing with your shoulders boy, don't be so brash and stupid in your thoughts." After a short pause the wolf continued, "Why did you come here anyways, you're young and full of life. I joined the Xama House after Blood Clan abandoned me for my age, and lack of abilities." James looked into the old wolf's eyes with anger and no sense of pity. "Why does it matter?!", James snarled, storming to another corner of the room. As he headed across the room he stepped on a tiny dogs tail and the dog yelped and stared at him in shock. James didn't even look at the now hurt dog, and quickly made it to the other corner, seemingly no guilt to be found. Without any forethought, James suddenly took to the flight of stairs, not realizing others had already gone up them.

As Danielle and Creita got to the top of the stairs they walked delicately into a vast empty room. "Be careful, there's a drop off in certain places.", Creita said. Danielle suddenly realized it was as if the room had been some sort of attic because it had no walls. Farther into the room the floor dropped off completely and the animals in the main room could faintly be heard if only one listened. Suddenly there was a rumbling on the stairs and both dogs turned to see James sprint into the room. The wolf was headed straight for the far side of the room and knocked Creita through a whole in the floor with a squeal. "Stop! The floor drops off!", Danielle yelled hurriedly seeing the wolf was in danger. The wolf turned and stared at her with cold eyes. Danielle became frightened and growled at the wolf known as James. She was mesmerized by his handsome demeanor but frightened by the lack of feelings he portrayed. James took this growl to mean she wanted to fight and he growled back in delight with a glint of what seemed like death in his eyes. Malice seemed to be his only intent and at his growl Danielle slunk her back against the wall in fear letting out a gentle whimper. At this whimper James would typically attack but instead he watched her, letting his growl subside until he stood there with his teeth slightly showing looking rather silly. Danielle noticed this seemed to be odd behavior for him and stood walking a few inches towards him, although she was unaware she was doing so. James watched her hobble movements and for the first time noticed her features. The missing leg. The torn ears. The kind, curious eyes. The ruffled coat. He had never been around females and was unaware of how to act so instead as she got closer he began to growl again. Danielle had begun to realize he was awkward and didn't know kindness so she began to speak with him, "So you're James?". "Well duh, you just saw me downstairs. Are you stupid?", he retorted. "This is not a competition, treat me as an equal.", Danielle kindly replied. The wolf could no longer make eye contact with her and searched the floor wildly for an explanation to put into words. About this time Creita had come to and had been safely moved into a quiet room. She had landed on a male wolf who softened her landing and her only injury was a gently throbbing headache. Also about this time the protectors of the Xama House stormed up the stairs. The protectors of the Xama included three lean, dogs and an intensely large wolf. The four animals stood at the top of the staircase looking at this odd display between James and Danielle. "You!", the large wolf huffed. "Come with me." James took one last, long look at Danielle and submissively followed. After the other three dogs walked downstairs behind James, Danielle followed at a short distance. Once in the main room of the house all the animals lines around the walls and the three dogs blocked the exits while the wolf stood in the middle with James. Suddenly he grabbed James by the throat and threw him to the rotten wood flooring. James submissively laid there at the wolf's feet with closed eyes, awaiting death. The large wolf looked at James, Danielle, and then to Veed and Darlene who stood side by side in the doorway of the hallway. "What shall I do to him?", the large wolf questioned at Veed and Darlene. Veed looked at Danielle and asked her, "Did he harm you?". "No.", Danielle answered quietly. Veed shook his head sadly and said, "I thought we could help him but sadly I see I was wrong. It has been one day James and already you are wreaking havoc on the Xama Household!" Veed paused and looked around the room before continuing, "I think the best thing is to kick him out... But not anywhere near here. He cannot return to the Blood Clan. I'm thinking we drop him off at the coast." Veed finished his thoughts and looked towards Darlene for confirmation. "I think that sounds alright.", Darlene said tentatively not wishing to start any quarrels in the household. The wolf standing over James nodded his head in agreement but his eyes seemed to show different intentions. "And Carlos...", Veed started, looking at the wolf. So that's his name, Danielle thought to herself. "... don't hurt the boy, he can still change.", and with that Veed turned back and walked down the hallway. Carlos peered around the room and the three dogs which Danielle had not noticed left, came back into the room with chains and a black cloth. They proceeded to chain all of James legs together, wrapped him in the black cloth, and placed a chain through holes in the black cloth onto a sled-like piece of steel. The three dogs and the wolf known as Carlos were connected to the sled by all the other animals. As Carlos began to lead the team of dogs through the snow Danielle stumbled as quickly as her little legs could take her and leapt onto the sled entangling herself with an angry James. James yelped out and attempted to bite through the cloth. "Stop! Shut up! I'm going to help you! It's me, the dog you were trying to face up with in the attic.", Danielle said hurriedly. James recognized her voice and relaxed allowing Danielle to stay where she was. It was a harsh, cold wind that blasted Danielle in the face the entire way to the coast. She desperately tried to stick her face into the black cloth but to no avail. Once finally at the coast, Danielle was tired, cold, and hungry but she knew she had to hide and so she did. She managed to slip right under a large rock on the beach. The dogs and wolves worked as a unit untying James and flung him towards the water, "Now swim!". James stood looking startled at Carlos. "You heard me, swim! I don't play by Veed's rules. Swim!", at the last harsh snarl from Carlos James headed into the water. He then began to swim and at this Carlos and his group darted back towards the Xama House through the snowy sunset. James didn't even remember Danielle, he just swam and swam and swam. At dawn he hit land but his body was weak and he had hypothermia. He slunk onto the beach and closed his eyes, expecting only death. As he slept Danielle met a seal by the name of Luscista. She befriended the seal and the seal carried her out to the island in the middle of ocean. Once there, Danielle was utterly amazed that James had even made it out here, but he was well trained and strong. Danielle did not know what to do when he was not responding to her but the seal had already left so Danielle did the only thing she knew how to do and cuddled up next to James for warmth. The next morning James did awake to life and the rest of winter was spent in desperation. Danielle was constantly seeking food to feed James, seeing as he was to weak to hunt. As the snow began to thaw, so did the coldness of James' heart. James had slowly warmed up to Danielle. James' body had lost the majority of its muscle and he had become much leaner and smaller looking but he still had a handsome demeanor that Danielle adored. Danielle had a heart for the lost. On the first real spring day Danielle was ecstatic. She jumped about through flowers and pulled honeysuckle from its roots to bring to James. James sat swaying in a nonexistent breeze on the shoreline smiling ever so brightly at Danielle's shining face. Although they rarely shared words or looks at all, something in them had changed and they knew each other. Danielle and James sat silently smiling and breathing in the fresh spring air. The two simultaneously stood and walked into the pollinated woods. They shared the stories of their past and although they weren't long because they were still so young, the stories were very eventful. Sitting in a small green field on the island they decided to head up onto a small cliff sitting on the opposite side of the island. The two laughed and helped each other over the rocks to the top of the cliff once on the edge they stood smiling in the wind knowing they each were granted a second chance to a new beginning.

Note* - I know the story kind of just drops off but I intended it to be this way because this is only their history and their story is just beginning together. The Xama House was a house symbolizing this art center in a way my own mind wished to portray it in the story; a place of refuge until somebody adopts the artwork out or in a story sense, until they got a second chance. I tried to show it in this way by them starting a new life after leaving the household together.
