"Life doesn't get easier or more forgiving. We get stronger and more resilient."
Name: River
Nickname: None
Gender: Male
Age: 4 years
Pack: Blackblood
Rank: Warrior
Crush: None currently
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance:
Grey, white, and black are all colors that can be seen mixed into River's fur. He has a scar on his snout and left hindleg, and a small nick in his right ear. He shares his sister's, Yuna's, light hazel eye color, but, unlike her, they are often have a more serious and confident light to them. He is much bigger and stronger looking than Yuna to the point it is slightly comical when they are together.
Personality:
At first impression, River can seem distant. He tries to be polite to his fellow packmates, but he has a tendency sometimes to be more blunt and cold. He never means any harm by his words. His social skills just leave something to be desired and need some work, and he'd never admit it but he gets nervous sometimes in social settings. Typically, he prefers to be by himself or with people he's close to, and he doesn't try too hard to become friends with new wolves. The other wolves in his pack know he's hardworking and dependable though. He is very loyal to his pack and can be counted on to do whatever he needs to in order to ensure their wellbeing.
Those who are close to River know a different side to him. He is kind and cares for his friends and family very much. He might not always verbally tell them, but he shows it by how he's always doing what he can to make sure they are protected, well, and happy. He's a good listener or person to vent to. Just don't go to him for advice. Yuna also is very aware how awkward he can be and that, despite how serious and stoic he acts, he can be flustered if she just teases him the right way.

History:
River was born to two warriors and good ones at that, so, from puphood, he knew exactly what his role would be in the pack. When he became a trainee, he became hyper focused on being the best warrior he could, and this behavior was conditioned into him by his strict parents who praised him when he succeeded and made their disappointed clear when he didn't work hard enough or messed up. Balancing his serious personality was his littermate, Aspen. She took her training seriously too, but where he didn't give other wolves the time of day, she had many friends and dragged River along with her to hang out. He had a very close relationship with her, and he was greatly shaken when she got caught in a fight and was killed before she could even be made a full-fledged warrior. He began to work even harder and closed himself off from other wolves completely. Then his parents had another litter of pups, but two of his younger siblings died, leaving only one, tiny pup. River knew he had to protect her no matter what, and he began to find a more comfortable balance between hanging out with his sister and his pack duties.
Yuna was a source of strain for him and his parents' relationship. They'd never had a loving relationship, but he argued with them often about the way they treated her. Though it hardly matters anymore because they were killed, along with many others in the pack, because of Ferus. River hasn't decided how he feels about their deaths yet.
