Voice
Avis's voice has a slightly deep tone, but is not raspy or dry in anyway. The wolf's voice is smooth, not too rough or husky(unless he does it intentionally). Due to his smoother vocals, his howls tend to be a beautiful serenade.
Appearance
Avis is an average sized wolf, so he stands at about 2'6" at the shoulder and is about 5'8" from nose to tail tip. The male weighs 125 lbs. With the average build, Avis doesn't stick out much among the crowd. He isn't muscular enough or buff enough to look larger, while he isn't lithe or short enough to be petite. He is pretty much the typical standard. However, he isn't quite in the exact middle. His build favors muscle over leanness just a little bit. Therefore, he isn't equally strong and fast, he is stronger, causing him to be a little less quick.
Avis has a handsome pelt of cream, soft brown, and greys. The majority of his soft, downy fur is a light cream. The lightest tones are his underbelly, backs of the thighs, along the ridge of his scapulas, down his neck, and his muzzle. A little bit of grey marks his forehead while also creating a speckle pattern down the top of his back and to the middle of his plumey tail(and then at the tail tip). A darker tan shade can be found on the backs of his ears and along his haunches. Avis also has dark amber eyes.
It is hard to see, but he does have a few scars. Bite punctures are on his right foreleg, and a thin line rests on his left haunch. They are covered by his fur most of the time.
Personality
Avis is the type to go with the flow. Easy going and flexible, he doesn't have any problem with thinking on the fly. For that reason, he is known to be a bit spotaneous and good at thinking on his paws. Instead of having a rigid schedule or routine, this male prefers to see what the day brings him. Although of course, he knows that some things will always be required every day, like patrolling and hunting. Avis has no quarrel with that, since he is also moral and has a pretty good sense of what is right and wrong. However, he isn't all goodey-too-shoes. Avis has no problem with bending the rules a bit here and there if he must.
Due to his laid back demeanor, he is not hard to get along with. Although he does have a sense of his own code, he will not blacklist others for different beliefs. Avis is open-minded and thoughtful, able to take in other perspectives and evaluate them before judging others. Due to this, he is able to make friends with almost anyone. The wolf also doesn't like rocking the boat if he can avoid it. While some would prefer to speak their minds(or impulsively blurt), Avis prefers to remain quiet and let it pass if the situation is unimportant. However, just because he stays quiet doesn't mean that he won't sneak an eye roll or an ear flick. But really, he tries to be as understanding as possible. The male is empathetic and intelligent, able to sympathize for others more than he sympathizes for himself. Avis will routinely put others first before himself. If other wolves need something, he will be the type to provide it.
It is probably one of his biggest strengths and biggest weaknesses. Avis will do anything for ones he cares for, amost to the point where he will neglect himself. And it isn't just the obvious things, either. He already is kind enough to offer to share or give up his own food portions, guide pups, and offer help to packmates. But his thoughtfulness allows him to take a step further. Avis will always wait for you, even if you take forever. He will be the caboose at the end of the line to make sure no one falls behind. The male will keep an eye on your offspring when you're on patrol. He thinnks of the smallest, simplest gestures. While it may gain the attention and appreciation of some, it doesn't always go noticed. But that doesn't matter, because he will be there anyway.
In this regard, he is fiercely protective. Even though he may not be the type to speak up or be the first to pounce or lunge into a fight, his small everyday gestures are how he shows his protectiveness. The male is like a midnight guard, keeping an eye over you when you don't even realize.
A worthy friend to prop you up, Avis isn't the type to take things personally or to hold a grudge. If anything, he would be the type to offer a peace offering and hope to earn the favor of his friend back. Although it seems like he is easily pushed around or taken advantage of, he won't let someone step all over him. Although, it would probably take awhile for him to mention it...
Although Avis doesn't like to rock the boat and doesn't speak up often, he will speak his mind freely when he knows it won't hurt. The wolf is the most talkative among his friends, where he will easily tease them and joke with them. Avis is also a smooth talker, earning him a little attention from the females occasionally. However, he isn't known to be a big flirt or anything. Some of his remarks are so subtle it's hard to tell. Somehow though, he always knows exactly what to say to make them feel seen. He isn't the type to play hard to get or anything. He will easily declare his feelings(sometimes he can be quite bold). Avis sees no problem with telling others how they make him feel, their unique qualities, and claiming interest in them.

Weaknesses
-Not very fast nor agile. He is maybe a little slower than average.
