Character Name: Shadow of the Sun
Preferred Name: Shadow
Gender: Male
Age: 5 Years
°
Appearance:
Shadow stands at a looming 3'2 with a heavily muscular built body weighing him at 142 pounds {64KG's Approx.} His face is on the rounder side of the scale, making his skull and head appear larger, fluffier and more daunting. His jaw is well formed, his mouth lined with off white sharp teeth and canine fangs that give him an intimidating and eerie aura when he flashes them in a vicious snarl or growl. His fur is slightly on the longer side, giving it a ripple effect as he navigates different terrains, often resulting in it catching many leaves, twigs and clumps of dust/dirt as he travels the forest. The fur itself is a deep brown with black runic like markings ghosting the tips, appearing a much brighter golden brown in direct or heavy sunlight. His eyes follow suit of his pelt, appearing a dark oak like brown with brighter gold flecks spread throughout his iris. The claws on each of his paws remain an almost jet black and often carry dirt build up underneath, although he does his best to keep his appearance up. He fosters very little numbers of scars, majority of which are completely covered by his long pelt, mostly scratches he picked up on his travels as a young pup.
He wears a bear skull as a trophy from one he had slain many years back, and atop the skull he bares two deep brown antlers decorated in golden wire and charms that glow faintly in dim lighting, often bringing out the golden flecks of his eyes as they appear to glow as well. He collects most sharp teeth from predator creatures he hunts and slays, using the teeth as a trophy in a collection he wears on a necklace around his neck, the rope itself was gifted by the careless bickering of crows who had dropped it during flight as they passed him by.
{In this RP, the bone wings, the exposed ribs, the dagger and the metal claws are not equipped.}

Personality:
Shadow usually treads with caution and a clear head, well prepared to adapt to most situations he thinks possible in most locales. He keeps his wits about him and will often use intelligence over brute strength when hunting to conserve strength and stamina. He can become flustered or embarrassed easily when conversing with others as his upbringing allowed him limited contact with other wolves, making his social skills next to no existent. He can be very empathetic towards other wolves or other creatures in general that he comes across, and while he is still required to kill while hunting, he tends to not be cruel in toying with his prey, offering them a quick and merciful death. Sometimes a tone of sarcasm can be heard carried beneath or within his words or behaviour, the realisation that not everyone knows as much as he may not yet landing its mark in his mind.
He isnt one to back away from a fight if it's necessary, however he would much rather prefer talking things over with others than to spill blood carelessly.
He has a soft side to him which allows him to enjoy the smaller things in life, bringing him joy from activities such as swimming or casual strolls as well as sniffing or picking wildflowers and berries to snack on. He tends to be the gifting sort as he isn't great with words and speaking his mind. Through thoughtful gestures, he can show others around him he listens, he remembers, and he cares.
°
Strengths:
°~With his heavy weight and his looming height, intimidation and confrontations can be one of his stronger points. He carries most of the advantages in battle aside from speed and maneuverability.
°
°~His longer pelt protects him from most scratches of sticks and rocks, allowing him to withstand some forms of damage for longer before becoming injured.
°~
°~His time spent wandering the lands aimlessly has allowed him to learn quickly in the ways of adapting to certain terrains, temperatures and weather.
°
Weaknesses:
°~Due to his size and weight, moving around quickly in the midst of a battle can be difficult making dodging increasingly harder for him.
°
°~He dislikes fighting and often his empathy will get in the way of most of his survival required actions. He'd much rather resolve conflicts peacefully.
°
°~While he has travelled and grown up alone, traversing most treacherous landscapes known to him, he carries a great fear of thunderstorms {The volume of the thunder itself} and sudden bright lights such as sparks, lightning and sometimes, even fireflies.
°
Other:
Shadow in all his time travelling has only met one other wolf before meeting stone, a younger male wolf who was also wandering the lands aimlessly. The two shared many moons together growing a close bond, with the male granting Shadow his title "Shadow of the Sun".
Shadow had been confused by the title, but before long, merely a few days later, his friend had disappeared.
Worried his friend may have been intimidated by some of his antics, his size, his strength, He convinced himself the title was not of good heart, but more of a warning to enemies that even a bright star, forever shining could cast a shadow of itself upon others.
