Survivor Dogs - Soot

Soot is a male Siberian Husky who lives in the forest. He is the younger brother of Ochre and the older brother of Violet.
== Appearance ==
Unlike his sisters, Soot has short fur, although it is still thick. He has black and gray tinged fur surrounding a cream undercoat that extends to his legs, belly, and part of his face. The rest of his face, including his erect ears, is encased in a mask of black and gray fur, and his eyes are a cold, piercing blue.
== History ==
Soot was the second pup of Aspen and Flint's litter. It was a planned breeding by longpaws. Flint's mother was extremely harsh on her and had high expectations, so she became a very strict parent. However, Aspen was a much more easygoing parent. Thus, the two argued very often and never seemed to agree on anything.
From the moment he was born, Soot hated being bossed around. Thus, he grew to despise the longpaws and frequently argued with Ochre about them. He was driven by both his restlessness in the longpaw home and his need to be free.
He also hated how his parents fought all of the time, and saw how it was affecting Violet. He felt betrayed by the fact that his parents would put their squabbles over their children, so he convinced Ochre to help them escape and the three siblings made their way into the forest.
Soot quickly found his home hunting along the riverbed for rabbits and birds who went to take a drink. Violet also enjoyed their life, but Ochre longed to go back to their longpaws. So, one morning, she left.
Soot was deeply wounded by his sister's abandonment. At first, he thought she had been killed, and he and Violet were distraught. Eventually, he learned from a trespassing City-Dog that his sister had run away back to the city. He tracked her and eventually found her, and declared that she was no longer his sister. He told her she was not allowed to see Violet, and he would kill her himself if she tried. This was out of fear that she would convince Violet to come back, rather than him having a true hatred for his sister.
He returned to the forest and lived with Violet until she said that she wanted to travel North to get away from the city once and for all. He declined her invite to go with her and instead moved deeper into the forest after parting with her. 
After about two moons of living alone, Soot met Canary, a yellow Hunt-Dog with a similar dislike for other dogs. The two soon hit it off, and they eventually merged their territories. They are currently living together as mates, and Canary is expecting his litter.
== Personality ==
Soot is a harsh dog with zero tolerance for stupidity. He has faced enough betrayal that he no longer believes in the good of other dogs, which is further fueled by Canary's extremely negative outlook on life.
However, he does care about his family. He has taken on the guilt of failing Violet, just as Ochre has, and wishes that she would come back.
