Name:This is Skonhet, which means 'beauty' in Swedish. Her parents had always thought she would be a very pretty girl who cared very much about her looks.
Gender:She is a female.
How did they get their scars?Skonhet was always a scraggly, very weak-looking creature. She was always made fun of and bullied as a kid because of her looks. She wasn't particularly pretty, and others often made fun of her bland brown coloring. One day, on her favorite holiday, which is Halloween, she painted her fur with some pretty paint, making herself look like a pretty butterfly. Of course, everyone giving out candy around where she lived loved her 'costume,' but the other pups she played with found it simply to be an opportunity to pick on her. She had always been picked on by the same group. Normally she just ignored their petty insults, but that night was different.
The bullies had seen her in her girly little butterfly outfit and they, of course, began to pick on Skonhet. They made fun of her and pushed and shoved her around. She even got a few little scratches because of them. Then something weird happened. The cuts began to ooze an odd, glowing orange color. The bullies, and Skonhet herself, were rather confused and surprised. They began to pick on her even more, asking rude questions like "What kind of freak are you!?" Skonhet was shocked and scared. She took a few steps back, to get away from them, but she didn't notice that there was a pit, sort of a dried-up creek filled with brambles and various bushes, right behind her.
Skonhet stumbled down the side of the pit, getting scrapes and scratched from all of the thorn-bushed as she went down. Her butterfly paint had gotten all messed up by the time she hit the bottom, and now she had more cuts that oozed more glowing stuff. She stood, very shaky, to her paws and stared up at the top of the pit. Nobody had come to check on her, not even a concerned bystander. Skonhet began to cry, as it seemed to be one of the only things to do. She began to climb up the side of the miniature gorge, and then ran quickly home.
When she got home, she was shocked. Her parents, though they seemed concerned, also seemed creeped out about her glowing, oozing scars. They seemed to keep their distance from her, whereas normally they'd run up and hug her and make sure she was okay. Still, crying, Skonhet ran up to her room, and began to wash off the dirt and butterfly paint from her fur.
Then, Skonhet got the idea to paint herself again... But something fiercer. She took the bottle of fur-paint she'd use earlier, and began to pain her dull brown fur again. Once she was done, she gazed at herself in the mirror... A skeleton. That was certainly scarier than a butterfly. Drying her tears so it wouldn't smear the paint, she ran into her room and began to throw together some of her most precious items into a bag. She wrote a note to her parents saying, quite bluntly, that she was running away from home. She tied the bag, held it in her jaws, and opened her window to crawl out.
Since then, the lonely rainbow paint wolf had lived on her own, and not once did a search party find her. She lived on her own until adulthood, thinking every now and then about going back, but denying the idea every time. She still wears the skeleton paint, and paint was one of the items that was put into her bag before she left home.
So in Layman's terms, Skonhet got her scars because she fell down a pit while being bullied on Halloween. She painted herself like a skeleton so nobody would ever bully her about it again. She ran away from home, and never went back, because her parents also seemed freaked out by her appearance. And now she lives on the streets, hiding from everyone unless absolutely necessary.
Personality:Skonhet is incredibly self-conscious about her glowing scars, normally avoiding public places. When she goes out, she simply wears a dark cloak and covers her scars with some sorts of bandages so others can't see them. If they ask, she simply tells them that she was in an accident, and specifies no further. Though she is constantly hiding from most others, she acts very different most of the time. She is actually very different when she isn't in public, not hiding her glowing goo or anything.
