Name: IvySun
Species: Warrior Cat
Personality: IvySun is a brave loyal cat that longs to help her clan. She will risk her life for it and always be there.
Likes: IveSun loves to hang around with friends and make her clan proud. She tries to catch the most prey and fight the apprentice cats ever and win. Pleasing her clan is it all.
Dislikes: When her clan is mad at her and when people make fun of her colors.
Background: Ivykit could feel her mothers tounge lick her side and she drank milk. Even though Ivykit had not opened her eyes yet she knew her mother SilverPelt would care for her. She also knew she had a brother with her named Stormkit. She did not no what he looked like and he did not either. Sometimes at night Ivykit would hear other queens "SilverPelt what happened? Whats wrong with it!" Ivykit never knew what or who they were talking about so she did not care. She could feel her mom licking her eyes open and then they were.
Ivykit gazed around the nursery looking at all the queens "Hi!" She said to them but all they did was stare or turn away like they were scared of her. She shrugged and looked at her mother. SilverPelt was a black cat with blue eyes and a pink nose. Then something hit her, she turned and saw her brothers blue eyes gazing back at hers. When he realized what was in front of her he hid behind SilverPelt "She scares me! What happened to her!" He said. SilverPelt looked at him angrily "Nothing! Shes your sister" Ivykit was hurt. What was wrong with her? She sat alone and that’s what she did every day.
Soon it was there day to be apprentices and show them selves to every one in the clan. There fur was nice and clean ready to be shown off. The leader CresentStar sat at high rock "Stormkit!" She called and all the cats made a walk way as Ivykit's gray handsome brother walked through until she reached high rock. "Stormkit, your now Stormpaw and your mentor is ReedTail" The new apprentice touches nose's to his mentor. "Ivykit!" Soon Ivykit walked to her leader but it was different, very different. All the cats backed up, stared or turned away. Even the leader held her breath. "Your name is now Ivypaw and your mentor is AshPelt" Ivypaw could hear AshPelt sigh but then touched noses with his apprentice.
"Ok first I'll show you the territory." Ivypaw’s mentor AshPelt said and walked out of camp with her trailing behind. "First we'll head to BreezeClan, MeadowClan, and then OceanClan." He told her. Soon they reached BreezeClans border and the smell of rabbit was every ware. "Get used to there scent. Come on" She nods and takes and big whiff of there scent before walking on. When they reached MeadowClan it had a soft flowery smell on every tree. "I know, it's to soft" He said and walked on. Soon they finally reached OceanClan and smelled fish. She stuck out her tounge and he nods "This is my least favorite, lets get out of here" She was about to follow her mentor when she saw and river and ran to it. Looking down into it she saw what was wrong, she had fire eyes and a black pelt with purple! AshPelt sat by her side "You found out" He says. "They...they all hate me" She says tears coming down her eyes. AshPelt nudges her and walks them back to camp. Soon her mother found out what had happened and sat with Ivypaw alone in the forest telling her shes perfect and special. Ivypaw just padded away and layed in the apprentice's den.
Ivypaw was on a hunting mission and had already caught 3 squirrels, now they were going to fight. She faced her mentor getting ready to charge. Soon she ran straight to her mentor, AshPelt had apprentices before and knew how to handle this. He jumped into the air over her, but she was ready, she jumped on a rock at him landing on his back. She clawed him softly and rolled and pinned her but she snaked out of his reach and turned to face him. Panting, AshPelt said to stop, take the squirrels’ and head to camp.
"Stormpaw, I now call you StormPelt! Ivypaw, I now call you IvySun!" Cats chanted StormPelts name but few called IvySun's. "I got one I got one!" The medicine cat FeatherTail came running out of her den. "what is it FeatherTail?" CresentStar said. "I got a prophecy. Look for the Ivy that shines in the Sun or else your clan will be doomed” The cats gasped. "ReedTail, ThunderShock, ThistleFur, and Berrypaw go on a patrol to look for a ivy plant that shines in the sun" CresentStar said. After a week of searching hope was lost until.. "Stop! We got it all wrong! We already found the Ivy that shines in the sun! It's IvySun!" AshPelt called out. CresentStar nods and at night they started there trip to visit the moon pool.
There it was, like a sparkling diamond was a small pool of silver pretty water. CresentStar told her to drink some and sleep. IvySun bent down and licked the ice cold refreshing water. Soon she was walking through a forest just like hers when she saw a bunch on badgers attacking and killing the cats! "IvySun wake up!" Soon IvySun's eyes shot open "yes?” She asked "You were screaming no in your sleep" CresentStar said. "Whats wrong?" "Badgers! Attacking camp!" CresentStar stared and shock "Then lets go!" She said and they darted for camp.
"Quick! Badgers will attack!" The cats got ready and before you knew it badgers camp out of the bushes. But the cats were ready, they leapt onto the badgers and killed them all. "IvySun, we thought wrong about you. You truly are special" CresentStar said. Tears came into her eyes. For once, she was loved.

Background:
~
Birth.

One cool summers day a wolf was born into the forest. This wolf was zodki. His mother smiled at him sweetly and began to groom him, while his father began to think of names. Zodki opened his eyes a bit to early that one day "Honey whats going on, he wasn't supposed to open his eyes for a day or so!" His mother shrinked. "I guess his one of those early bloomers..." His father protested. Zodki watched his parents talk to each other, he smiled and began to take a couple steps. His parents talked to each other about zodki's early developing, while zodki made his way out of the den. Zodki stepped to the rivers side and nearly fell in "What do you think you're doing?" His mother said with a giggle "That's it, we should name him Zodki, after his adventruous grand-father!" Zodki's father said looking at his mate and child. "You got it Kiku! That fits him perfectly." His mother said while bringing him to the den. "Hedi, let me take him in, you should rest for a bit." Kiku said softly. Hedi nodded and let Kiku take their child into the den, she soon then softly closed her eyes and took a nap. Kiku took Zodki in safely, he then lied down around zodki, zodki did exactly what kiku did, then he shut his eyes as his older brother Lumi lied next to zodki and his father, Hedi soon got up from outside of the den and curled up around Kiku, then zodki soon drifted into sleep as well as the others. That was Zodki's first family moment, and he still remembers it.
~
A few years later.

Zodki quickly learned how to speak when he was about four years old. His parents smiled at every word he said, and the soon realized that he needed to meet others o his kind, so they took him to a clearing in the forest, little red wolves played simple and fun games together. Zodki looked at all the wolves and the little wolves beckoned him to come play with him. He ran up to the wolves and said "Hi I'm zodki!" And the other wolves nodded and said their names, Zodki remember each one, he also easily remembered the game rules. Zodki and the others played the simple game, then all of the sudden all of the wolves Zodki was playing with quickly rushed to their mothers, Hedi and Kiku were wide eyed and they stood still looking frozen. Zodki slowly looked over his shoulder, there stood a huge grizzly bear. Zodki smiled at the bear and said "Hi i'm zodki!" The bear growled a little zodki "Um could you please leave, this is my pack territory." Zodki said politely to the bear the bear growled and said "What makes you think I am going to leave?" Zodki looked up angrily at the bear "you made me do this" Zodki said then he grabbed a pine cone and threw it and the bear, then he nodded and looked at the other wolves, the wolves began to though pine cones at the bear. The bear fleaed and zodki was considered a hero of the pack. After the bear business zodki me a wolf, the same age as his older brother, named ambark. Embark hated zodki for taking his glory, by scaring the bear away, so ambark warned zodki that he would soon get revenge any way he could.
~
Teen age years.

Zodki was appreciated by all of his pack mates, and one day he met a beautiful white wolf with beautiful markings. She had dark pine green eyes and her name was Pine. Zodki felt like he fell in love. He walked up to her and began to start a conversation. "Um, hi, I'm Zodki" Zodki said softly. Pine smiled "I'm Pine" She said. Zodki felt nervous then said "Do you have a mate or like a mate to be?". Pine sighed "Well yes I do, but, can we be friends Zodki" Pine said softly. Zodki sighed then smiled "Sure, as long as you run with me on the big journey." Zodki said nicely. Pine nodded then smiled "Okay, would you like to go on a run with me zodki?" Pine said sweetly. Zodki nodded, then the two ran off racing each other, they did this for two years each day until one tragic day. Zodki and pine were on their normal route, and suddenly zodki found some wild flowers. He walked up to them and began to pick some, he heard pine scream. He quickly turned around and saw a bear on top of pine, it was trying to kill her. Zodki growled and tackled the bear, he told pine to run, and pine got up and ran, she had a limp to her run. Zodki fought the bear for an hour, then finally zodki ran back to the pack, as soon as he got back he ran to pine "How is she?!" Zodki said worried. The wise wolf looked at him i'm afraid, she can no longer run, zodki" the wise wolf said softly. Zodki sighed "At least she's still alive..." He murmured. Pine looked at zodki "My leg is permanently broken, but you saved my life zodki, you saved me!" Pine said happily. Zodki smiled and lied down next to pine. "My mate ran off today...I just barely got the word" Pine whispered. Zodki sighed "Maybe we can...Travel together now" Zodki said. Pine smiled and nodded "I'll go where ever you go." She said. Zodki smiled, he now had a very strong friend, Pine was always his friend but now she was one of his strongest. Soon after that Zodki noticed that he had gotten a strange mark on his thigh, it was some-how shaped like a wing, he went into the river to try and soak it off, but there was no use, his un-natural marking was still there. Zodki shrugged "Well, it kinda looks cool..." Zodki said looking at the new and strange marking. Zodki walked back to camp flaunting his new marking. Zodki returned to his mother's and father's den to show them his new marking, he walked in and saw his brother Lumi dieing right then and there. "What happened?!" Zodki yelled. Lumi looked up at zodki
"A-a-a-a-mbark.." Lumi said stuttering. Zodki eyes began to fill with tears "What did he do to you?!?!" Zodki said studing lumi's body serching for wounds. Lumi looked strait in front of him then began to speak "a-a-a-a-a-a-a-all he said w-w-was r-r-r-r-r-revenge..." Lumi said. Zodki growled "WHICH WAY DID HE GO?!" Zodki yelled, he was scared of the thought that he might loose his older brother. Lumi pointed in the dirrection that ambark ran off to. Zodki began to bust in tears, his eyes were still wide open, then Zodki lied next to lumi, and put his snout on lumi's head. Zodki closed his eyes "Lumi don't leave me, don't leave me, Don't leave me now Lumi!" Zodki said. Lumi tried to smile, then he put his paw on zodki's heart "Z-z-z-zodki, i-i-i-i'll always b-b-b-be w-w-w-with you, j-j-j-j-just don't forget m-m-m-m-me." Lumi said, then he began to shake violently. Zodki lifted his head "Lumi?! Lumi?! Lumi?!" Zodki said shaking his brother. Lumi didn't answer. "T-t-t-this can't be happening! Lumi! Stop kidding, Stop it, Please!" Zodki said hopelessly. Zodki flipped lumi to his back, then he put his ear against his chest the hear his heart. There was no thumpping, his heart stopped. Zodki began to shiver. "No, no, no, no, Lumi! Can you hear me! Don't worry lumi i'll get ambark back for this, i'll get him back, I promise." Zodki said, tears drizzled down his face. Zodki then ran out of the den following ambark's sent, he saw ambark ahead, zodki began to run faster and faster, then he tackled ambark "WHY DID YOU DO IT?!" Zodki said while looking down at him. Ambark smiled devilishly "Hmmm, I guess you found out, I told you i'd get revenge...and look, I did..." Ambark said. Zodki growled, tears still drizzling down his face. Then he got hold of ambark's neck, he began to crush it, he let go then sighed "I wouldn't stoop as low as you, but if I ever see your face again, I will kill you..." Zodki growled then he steped off of ambark "NOW SCRAM!" Zodki yelled. Ambark's neck was bleeding, he scowled at zodki, then he ran off. Zodki began to sob, he fell to the ground, and covered his eyes with his paws.

Adult hood.

Zodki soon had to leave his mother and father. He bowed respecfully at each parent "I will miss you, promise that I will always be in your hearts, because you will always be in mine." Zodki said to his parents, tears filling his eyes. His parents nodded and said "You were always in our hearts, we will miss you too." Zodki nodded and turned and began his long journey. He sighned and looked up at the clouds, then he heard a slight howl, he looked back and saw pine "Oh hi pine." Zodki greeted. Pine smiled "Remeber I said i'll go wherever you go, now slow down, we're not in a hurry." Pine said limping due to her broken leg. Zodki smiled then stopped waiting for pine to catch up "Yeah, sorry it just looks like a storm is coming, I wanted to find shelter." Zodki Said softly. Pine caught up with zodki she looked zodki in the eyes, her dark pine green eyes enchanting him "We'll be fine...The storm won't be her for another three days. But we should find some shelter, in a resonable place, with a pleasing amount of prey...and maybe a rier or two in the area." Pine said looking deeply into zodki's eyes. Zodki nodded "Exactly, thays what I was going to do..." He murmured. Pine smiled "Yes but you don't need to be in a hurry, it's not close to dusk, now comon' lazy bones, lets go find the dream land" Pine said with a slight smiled, then she got up and began to limp up the trail. Zodki sighed then smiled at pine, he got up and began to run up to pine. Zodki looked at her broken leg "You wouldn't have that if it wasn't for me, I feel so stupid whenever I see you and we walk together, were you ever mad at me for doing that to you?" Zodki said nomally. Pine sighed "No zodki I'm not mad at you, I was never mad at you either, remember you saved my life for wolves sake!" Pne said, then she licked zodki nicely. Zodki blushed a little "Yeah, I just never think of myself as a hero" Zodki siad as he looked at the ground. "Pine who was you're mate?" Zodki said lookeing up at pine. Pine sighed "Well his name was ambark..." Pine saidsoftly hoping zodki wouldn't reconize the name. Zodki lifted his head "Did you just say ambark?" Zodki said. Pine nodded "Y-y-y-yes..." she stuttered. Zodki frowned "He killed my brother, I hate that wolf, how could you love him pine!?" Zodki said. Pine sighed "I was hopeing you wouldn't remember, I begged ambark not to kill lumi, I really did Zodki, he was just to power crazy! And I didn't love him, I was forced to mate him, He told me if I didn't then he would kill my family...He ended up killing my family, I tried to run away from him, but his threatened to kill you...I couldn't let that happen." Pine said. Zodki sighed "Waht makes you think i'm going to believe you pine?!" Zodki said, then he ran off and found a small, but nice den to stay the night in. Pine sighed then she followed zodki's scent, and suddenly a wolf tackled her, everything faded to black. Zodki sat in his small den he looked at his paws, and sighed. Suddenly he heard a faint howl in the distance, it didn't sound like pine, or any wolf zodki had ever met. Zodki jumped out of his den, he stood strongly. He howled loudly, there was no answer. He howled again but this time louder, the cold air revealed zodki's breath everytime he howled. A goustly howl came from a tall pine tree. Zodki looked around himself "Who goes there?" Zodki yelled. A goust-like wolf appeared from out of the pine tree, he had Lumi's markings, and eye color. "Who are you?" Zodki asked the wolf. The wolf looked at zodki "Zodki it's me, lumi" The wolf said. Zodki scouled at the wolf "No you aren't Lumi is dead." Zodki growled. The wolf shook hishead "Zodki, please believe me, It reall is me, try to touch me, I'll prove myself to you!" The wolf said. Zodki stood still "This is a trick isn't it?" Zodki growled. The wolf put it's head down "Zodki, i'm 100% Sure it's not a trick, watch" The wolf said then he walked right through zodki, the wolf was Lumi's spirit. Zodki stood there speechless, looking at lumi's spirit. Lumi's spirit smiled "I told you" Lumi's spirit said. Zodki nodded "why are you here?" Zodki asked lumi. Lumi sighed "Zodki, Pine is in deep trouble, so are you, ambark has pine!" Lumi said. Zodki looked down at his paws "She's a trader...To me and you" Zodki growled. Lumi sighed "Zodki, he is going to kill her, you need to save her, Zodki I know you deep down, and you wouldn't let a wolf die for better or less." Lumi said. Zodki tried not to cry "Where is she." Zodki said. Lumi smiled "I knew you wouldn't let her down, Now follow me." Lumi said floating along a trail. Zodki followed lumi. Lumi brought zodki to Ambarks camp "Zodki I can't help you with this no longer...Good luck" Lumi whispered, then he faded away like dust. Zodki sighed "Again, he has left me" He said trying to hold back his tears. Zodki shook his head then peered over at pine, she was in a deep hole. The hole which held pine was heavaly gaurded with wolves. "You'll never get away with this ambark, Zodki will find me!" Pine shouted. Ambark laughed "Well it dosen't look like he is going to help you, dose it." Ambark growled. Zodki looked angerly at ambark. Pine sat down speechless, she began to cry. Zodki growled, and all of the wolves looked at the bush that zodki was hiding in. Zodki jumped out and tackled the wolves in front of the bush. Ambark growled at zodki "Get him!" He barked at the all of the wolves. Zodki Injured each wolf that challenged him, ambark finnally had enough and he tackled zodki "Are you trying to be a hero, well forget it." Ambark growled. Zodki began to see black "I will not die." Zodki whispered. Ambark pinned zodki down "Today...You will" Ambark growled then he bit into zodki's neck. Zodki's life began to flash by in his eyes. Today I walk through the vally of the shadow and death. He recited in his head. Ambark laughed and stepped off zodki, ambark walked to where pine was "Looks like your little hero is dead." Ambark laughed. Pine burst in tears "NO!" She howled. Zodki lied there motionless Pine! He screamed in his head, he began to breathe violently. Suddenly zodki hopped up, he was alive! Zodki tackled ambark, growling loudly "Remember my promise." Zodki growled at ambark. "What! You were dead!" Ambark whimpered. Zodki smiled and bit deep down onto ambarks neck. Ambark's rain of terrior ended, ambark was dead. Zodki stepped of ambark, and he ran to pine. "Your Alive!" Pine cheered. Zodki put down his paw for pine to hold. Pine grabbed zodki's paw, then zodki softly grabbed a part of the back of pines neck. Zodki forced pine up, then he nuzzled her tears began to fall down his face "I thought he killed you." Zodki said. "I thought he killed you." Pine whispered. Zodki stopped nuzzling, and looked into pines eyes "You weren't lying, I'm sorry I didn't believe you" Zodki said softly. Pine smiled and began to cry of happiness. Zodki smiled "Pine why are you crying?" Zodki said laughing and crying. Pine smiled "I'm just so happy!" She said. Zodki turned his head to ambark's pack, they gathered around their fallen leader. They all turned around and bowed to zodki "From now one, as long as you live, we are your packmates, and you are our leader" The wolf said. Zodki looked confused, pine looked at zodki blankly "Zodki You killed their leader, that makes you leader now..." Pine whispered in his ear. Zodki looked suprized "But...But...But I don't want to be a leader..." Zodki said looking at all of the wolves. Pine sighed "Then choose one to be the leader" Pine whispered into zodki's ear. Zodki nodded then pointed to a wolf with his paw "You...you will be the leader of this pack, until the day you die." Zodki said boldly. The wolf stood proud "But whay me?" the wolf asked. Zodki looked at the wolf deeply "You showed great courage and strength when you fought me, now lead your pack" Zodki said, then he turned around and began to walk up the trail. The wolf nodded, then he lead his pack to the lake. Pine followed Zodki. "Why did you just give up you leader position like that zodki?" Pine asked zodki. Zodki looked up a the sky "Well, pine you just know when it's right or not...My head was screaming no, so I just simply decined the offer." Zodki said while looking at the sky. Pine nodded "I understand..." Pine said, she looked at the ground and sighed. Zodki looked down at the ground and noticed blood on the ground "PINE YOU'RE BLEEDING!" Zodki yelled worringly. Pine looked down and fainted at the sight of blood. Zodki began to panic he looked down at pine and nelt down to her. Memories of Lumi's death began to go through his head, He shut his eyes, tears some how came out of his closed eyes. "No! I won't let this happen!" Zodki screamed. He pushed pine into a near-by den, he covered her bleeding wounds with leaves. He meadicated pine as much as he could. Pine soon opened her eyes "Zodki, you helped me once again..." Pine said joicefully. Zodki smiled and lied next to pine "Pine, it's because I love you..." Zodki said softly. Pine lied her head on Zodki "I love you too zodki." She said and then closed her eyes and fell asleep. Zodki smiled and rested his head on pine, then fell asleep. Pine woke up in a cold sweat "Zodki, Zodki Wake up!" she screamed. Zodki opened his eyes "What's your worry, pine? It's not even close to dawn!" Zodki said. Pine shivered violently "The storm, it's coming! We need to find an under ground shelter, quick!" Pine said, the wind began to blow very loudly. Zodki looked nervious, then he began to dig a hole. "Pine help me!" Zodki said while digging the hole. Pine nodded then began to dig. A few hours passed, and they finished the under ground shelter. "We need to find food! Wolf kind has no idea howlong we'll be down there." Pine said. Zodki nodded and rushed out of the den, the wind began to blow harder and harder. Zodki came back into the den holding many food items in his jaw. Zodki dropped them in front of pine. Pine pushed the food down into the shelter with her nose. Zodki rushed back out of the den gathering the food. He heard talking behind the bushes, then he growled loudly. Zodki garbbed the food items and ran back into the den, not wanting to get into any trouble. Zodki and pine pushed the rest of the food into the den, they also went down into the shelter. Pine lied down looking at zodki to lie next to her, zodki lied next to pine, an the winds began to blow harsher and harsher. Soon enough a hurricane began, zodki got closer to pine then began to shiver "So it's a hurricane...We can be stuck down her for days..." Zodki said. Pine nodded "Yeah, I had a vision, that if we didn't dig up a shelter, and gather food, we would have died" Pine said, tears drizzled down her face. "Theres no reson to cry pine, we're both saf, and that's what counts." Zodki whispered. Pine nodded then lied her head down on zodki and siled up at him. Zodki lied his head on pine, then smiled at her, they soon drifted off into sleep. The cold month of march passed, the hurricane was over. Zodki shook pine. "Pine, Pine the hurricane is over!" Zodki said joicefully. Pine slowly opened her beautiful dark pine gren eyes then looked at zodki. "That mens it's april..." She sai sighing. "Whats so bad about april?" Zodki said while standing up a streaching. "It's when all the female wolves go on a journey to find injured wolves that were victums of the yearly hurricane...Then we come back, either with a mate of in search of one..." Pine sighed. Zodki looked down at the ground "Oh yeah..." Zodki said with a sigh. Pine stod up then nuzzled zodki "I better get going...See you in may..." Pine said then she excited the shelter and den, and began to walk with all the female wolves. Zodki exited the den and watched pine leave, and suddenly a wolf stood behind him "Zodki?!" The wolf asked excitedly. Zodki turned around and saw his old friend; Maverik. Zodki smiled "Oh hi maverik!" Zodki said happily. Maverik "So pine just left for the journey, huh...Well we need to start a pack while they're gone, so lets get started!" Maverik said with glee. Zodki nodded then followed maverik. Maverik guided zodki to a large clearing, were many male wolves stood. "Please sit." One of the wolves called, and all the wolves including zodki sat down. "So the female wolves have left on their journey...And now we must start a pack befor the come back, for the next few days we will work together...and after that we will decide who gets placed in each rank of the pack...Now please stand and get to work on building the dens and hunting for prey." The broad male wof said. All the wolves nodded and stood then began to search for den materials.

Rawr! 8D

I would like to adopt!
Number: 4
Picture:

Name: Khamari
Species: wolf (unknown species)
Personality:
Khamari is unusually curious. He'd go up to anyone and anything with only the intent to observe them or be friendly. It seems like this would be the kind of thing that would get him into trouble, even killed. But no, the spirits, demons, and animals of the Endless Forest respect that kind of thing. They're not dumb, and they do not kill without reason. Rarely are the more intimidating and frightening ones treated with respect, and when they are they return that respect as a matter of honor. Khamari tends to bring out that respect in creatures from most people's worst nightmares.

He's never been attacked, and has no scars. His coat is always clean, he prides himself on that. He likes to make sure that he's always presentable, and as a result is one of the most handsome wolves in the forest.

But still, he's not exactly a lover boy. Khamari is hyper and easily excited. He bounds around and never seems to grow up. While bigger than most wolves, his personality hasn't changed since he was a pup. Tongue lolling and eyes wide with excitement, he's often seen running for a reason none can really understand. He's fit for sure, and does tricks that circus freaks would envy. He can jump up trees by bounding from one trunk to another, using each one as a sideways platform to lift off from as he goes higher and higher. He can jump down 40 feet and land just so that he does a little forward roll and isn't even bruised. Of course, he's a canine, so he doesn't have opposable thumbs and can't swing from branches or any of that stuff, but he does almost anything else with grace and joy.

Admitabely, he's not exactly the smartest wolf in the forest, so he makes up for it in spunk. At first he might appear to just be hyper, but if you observed him for long enough you'd notice something. He's never noisy. He talks and barks occasionally, but for the most part he's silent as a lamb. Khamari is never rude or disrespectful, he's doesn't trick or decieve, he's just honest and happy. He doesn't flirt with danger, and he's not at all intimidating. Gentle as anything, he prefers not to kill pray, but to scavenge it.

He's not completely independent, enjoying company and an audience wherever he goes. But he doesn't have a family any more. As soon as he was old enough he left the pack he was born in. He's still young, and as it just so happens in a rather odd phenomenon, he's the exact same age as Rhanno, Shou, and Mage. (old adoptables, but Mage is from the agency) In fact, they were all born on the exact same day, their fates entwined.

Khamari isn't really nervous very often, or brave for that matter, but he tends to be cautious and unsure of himself at times. His walk is never cocky, when he does walk. Most of the time he runs. He's very good at dodging limbs and leaping over rocks and logs. He seems to bound through the forest without obsticle. He isn't particularly fast, but he's so swift that it makes it seem so.
Likes:
Khamari likes to run and do tricks. Mostly to run... Running is his favorite thing in the entire world. If he could, he would surely run forever, to the ends of the world and back. (unfortunately, the world is round) He runs swifly and quietly, his paws barely skimming the ground as he bounds above, below, around and through any obsticle he comes across. He also enjoys a good challenge.

His other favorite thing is the night. He loves the dark night, with stars over head. He's facinated by constilations, always seeing strange creatures and funny shapes in the sky. Sometimes he'll use the stars he's seen to tell stories. Usually they're funny stories. He can make almost anyone laugh, and has to be careful that he doesn't laugh too.

He also likes hot springs. He'll wade into them or even swim in them whenever he gets the chance. They seem to energize and excite him even more, especially if there's a waterfall involved that he can run through or leap down from. He's an excellent swimmer and good at determining how deep water is, even from the tops of waterfalls. (not really big ones though)
Dislikes:
There's not a whole lot that Khamari dislikes. He likes everyone he meets, no matter how scary.

But there is one thing he absolutely hates. That would be cold weather. Khamari is built for heat and humidity. The forest supplies both of these quite well, and he wouldn't survive long in cold weather. His fur is thick enough to handle it, but just the sensation of cold against his fur and having any heat sucked from his body absolutely horifies him.

Background (Optional, but it gives you a better shot):

Khamari was born to a small pack of wolves in the middle of the Endless Forest. Unlike traditional wolf packs, these had less social lives, for they spent their time watching out for danger and trying to pick a few scraps here and there. His people don't know about humans, and will never meet any. When he was born he had three siblings. They were never named, because the forest proved itself once again to be a dangerous place a few days after the pups were born. A demonic owl faced creature, steam hissing wherever it's feet hit the ground, decided it would attack the wolves. It hungered blood and fear, and when it approached the wolves they shook in fear. Khamari's mother was dragged to safety by his father, but the pups were left behind. There just wasn't enough time to get them out of the way. The owl faced creature's beak like mouth seemed to streatch as it gobbled down the wolf puppies one by one in a most horrifying way. Khamari was the last one, and when Owl Face (that's it's name) bent down to eat him, something stopped it. Unlike the other pups, Khamari was not afraid. He sat up strait and looked Owl Face in the eyes. He wasn't being cocky or daring Owl Face to kill him, the little pup was simply curious, and there was something respectful about the way he observed the demon. Khamari was spared, and Owl Face left without a word...

viewtopic.php?f=10&t=57129)

“Well, will you look at that? Just like his father!” A voice rumbled, deep and proud. Little Khamari didn’t fully understand all of what was being said, but he knew his father must be happy. From the moment he could walk, Khamari was off and running into trouble. He was strong and adventurous, though perhaps not the smartest pup of the litter. Then again, Khamari never knew his siblings. Natural selection did it’s trick, and three of the four were eaten by larger predators.

Now, and important part of Khamari’s history that you must remember is that he and the others lived at a time very different from our own. It is neither the future nor the past, and fate tended to wind around those you were fortunate enough to meet. Be it a friendly spirit or a demon. Conditions were harsh, not climate wise, but predation and competition seemed to be at their height in the forest where the wolves lived.

Anyway, Khamari did very well, despite the challenges at hand. Perhaps it was the fact that he was so happy-go-lucky that made predators sit and watch rather than prey upon him as they should have. He knew all sorts of amazing stunts, and the forest creatures respected him for it. Nothing could hold him down. In fact, he was barely more than a pup when he left his family in search of adventure. They didn’t attempt to stop him, for as they say, “It’s a dog eat dog world.” He traveled mainly through the endless forests, teasing and toying with fate.

One day, fate decided to toy with him as well. From a distance he began seeing strange shapes moving about the forest. From a distance, it seemed that there was a giant lion roaming the forest. But Khamari was puzzled. He knew that lions didn’t live in the forest, no matter how large it was. He snuck closer to get a better look and was surprised at what he saw. The creature he had thought to be a lion was nothing of the sort. It was nearly the size of an elk, sported a small mane, and appeared to be a juvenile female. He could only stand and stare, transfixed. Rather than the thin tail of a lion, this creature had a long, bushy tail and pointy ears. It was undoubtedly feline, but the coloration was also very odd. Rather than golden it was closer to a caramel color with dark stripes and odd patterns. The thing that attracted his attention the most was that it looked very dangerous, and appeared to be hunting. Naturally, he threw caution to the wind.

Khamari did one of the dumbest things in history. He bounded out of cover like a giddy deer and stood in front of a predator six times his size. With a happy grin on his face, he looked up, being sure to make eye contact, and introduced himself. “Pardon me for interrupting, but I couldn’t help but ask. What in the name of Din’au are you?”
Despite all odds, as often was with Khamari, the creature did not attack. Instead, it sat down, looking thoroughly startled. After a pause, she responded, “What am I? What kind of a question is that!?! Hmph…” She inhaled deeply, and breathed out her foul smelling breath in his face. She was young, and just as curious as Khamari, “I’ll tell you my name, and I’ll tell you what I am, but first, you must tell me who YOU are.”

Khamari smiled widely, showing all of his teeth, “Deal. My name is Khamari, I come from the western part of the forest. I fear nothing and no one.”

Rhanno nodded slowly, and in response smiled just as widely if not wider, “My name is Rhanno. I don’t yet know where I come from, but I grew up with a family of raccoon foxes. I’m an Ehoran, and I’ll be the next leader of the forest by inheritance.”

Khamari seemed skeptic, “Leader? But Din’au is the leader!”
Rhanno shook her head, “Din’au is the creator and the destroyer, she owns the forest, she made the forest, but she has allowed my family line to help keep things in check. I know this by instinct, and because she told me.”

“You’ve spoken to Din’au, the Deer God?!?” Khamari gaped, suddenly in awe of the young Ehoran.

“Not directly. She speaks through minds, not with a voice. Don’t you know that?” Rhanno was beginning to wonder if this wolf had any education at all. “Didn’t your parents teach you anything?!”

Khamari grumbled something to the effect of, “Not all wolves are as smart.”

Rhanno laughed, “You aren’t half bad, Khamari! I like you!”

Khamari glowed under her praise, “Thanks, it’s an honor to meet you.”

They talked for some time, exchanging news on the forest and finding out more about each other. Though they were different species, one ultimate predator and one simply wolf, the two came to be quite good friends. “It’s getting dark.” Rhanno observed after a while, she looked up at the sky. They were sitting in a very spread out part of the forest, and the stars were clearly visible. Khamari was busy staring at her, and simply nodded, “Uh-huh.” Rhanno stood up, “I’m sorry, I have to go. Maybe our paths will cross again some day, good luck and may things always be in your favor Khamari!” The trees seemed to bow around her, making Khamari more aware that Rhanno was a very powerful creature. “Thank you Rhanno, and I hope the same for you.” But as he spoke the words, she was already gone.

Saddened, Khamari continued on with a little less spunk and spring in his step. He began to brighten, slowly but surely. He watched the forest move around him, alive and beautiful. He felt small for the first time, and was reminded of the miracles all around him. The wind whispered in his ears, and something ahead was making the leaves swirl and dance, lighting up a portion of the forest with a sort of glow. Khamari stared in wonder, drawing closer until he saw two canines similar to himself. One was a red Akita Inu, with his head bowed he. The other was a sort of dog with black spots and odd patterns. The dog was the one making the forest glow and the leaves dance, he touched his nose to the head of the Akita, who stood up in return. The lights faded slowly, signifying the end of their strange ceremony. The dog turned his head, he had spotted Khamari. The dogs eyes were a bright blue, and when Khamari made eye contact he was caught under a sort of spell, and against his will walked forward until he stood in front of the two dogs.

The Akita tipped his head to one side, his eyes brimming in amusement. “Shou, it’s a wolf! How strange, look at him. I’ve never seen another wolf like that!” Shou turned to his companion, setting Khamari free as their eye contact broke, “Yeah, he is a bit odd… You’ve never seen him before Mage?”

Mage shook his head, “Nope! He’s big though. Bigger than us anyway, should we let him join us?” Shou looked thoughtful for a moment, “Why not? If he proves himself worthy I’ll perform the ceremony on him too.”

Khamari watched them talk, confused. He had no idea what they were saying, but it sounded like an adventure, and that’s all he wanted. As he watched them though, he realized that what Mage said was true. He was bigger than them, and when he looked closer he realized that they all seemed to be about the same age, maybe these two weren’t so remarkable.

After a little more debating the pro’s and con’s of letting a stranger travel with them, Shou and Mage turned to Khamari, “You heard all that, right?” Shou asked, “Would you like to join us?”

Khamari nodded, “Yes, I’ll join you.” He decided to bargain, “But you’ve got to tell me what exactly I’m joining, where you’re going, and why.”

They both looked surprised, “Erm… You’re joining our little group I suppose. I’m Shou, and he’s Mage.” Shou tipped his head at Mage and continued, “We’re going to the end of the forest, there’s a whole stretch of unexplored and un-owned land out there. We want to claim it as ours, we’ll be free from the worries of the forest! Of course, there’ll be other dangers, but we’re meant to go there. There’s this lamb, it’s not really a lamb. But it’s name is Oya, and it spoke to me, it still sometimes speaks to me and allows me to do strange things. But Oya wants us to go there, I think you’re meant to go too.”

When Khamari stared back dumbly Shou added, “It’s where night magic comes from.”

Khamari still looked confused, but then he seemed to understand. All at once it was as if he had known Shou and Mage his entire life. “How long have you been traveling?” He asked.

“Not long, just a few days.” Mage responded this time, “I’m from up in the mountains. I’m the last wolf of Null, and Shou came and asked me to come too. I think the “Oya” he talks about is some kind of spirit. Once you start traveling with us you’ll be allowed to do strange but amazing things too.”

“Oh, I see.” Khamari’s tail started wagging, “What are you waiting for? Lets go!”

And so, Khamari set out with Mage and Shou on an epic journey to the undiscovered lands. There, they would find wide plains, and strange upside down bell shaped flowers that bloomed at night and created magic like pollen spores. As he traveled with them, Khamari became wiser, but he remained the same, easily excitable and easy to like wolf as always. He was treated with respect, and the three were the friendliest bunch that ever attempted to rule the smaller world (in a way). They worked together in a way unknown before, no one dared attack them. Khamari still awaited the day when he would once again meet Rhanno, and the very thought of what to come made him trudge on eagerly. Khamari was destined for greatness, and he intended to live up to whatever challenges were thrust upon him. Which is exactly what he did.

Wee, that was fun! I might edit though if I think of anything else to add.
