Mangnall, Colin

Colin Mangnall is the youngest member of the San Andreas Shifters pack. His brother is Kevin Mangnall, who is also a member of the pack. 
== Appearance ==
Colin is described as being a small darling of a boy with a killer brain and a gentle disposition. He has green eyes, strawberry blonde hair, and full lips (the bottom slightly fuller than the top). He is slim, pale, freckled, and has some muscles. 
His wolf form is the smallest of the pack and has honey russet fur and he looks more like a large desert fox or coyote, his eyes are a pale yellow green. He has a scent of warm spices and red meat. 
He has nice mild tenor voice and a quiet unassuming attitude. 
“A slight younger man moved toward him, strawberry blond and pouty-lipped, of the kind that would go down really well on a go-go stage. Max’s dirty mind aside, he had the sweet smile and the social awkwardness of a chronic gamer geek.” (From The Sumage Solution Chapter 14)
== Personality ==
Colin is very smart with a gentle disposition. He's very shy about being touched, good with computers and technology and likes to play video games. He doesn't like to shift forms and spends the least amount of time as a wolf, until Isaac comes along. He prefers to fade into the background. 
Because Colin thought for so long he wasn't going to become a werewolf, he'd practiced daylight distancing and trained himself not to desire touch. A very hard habit to break. 
== History ==
Colin's mother, Lexi Blanc, left him shortly after he finished kindergarten to become a successful country singer. His father, who didn't expect Colin to survive the bite, basically ignored him. When his older brother, Kevin, went away to college, his father's lack of attention became serious neglect. Colin’s brother, Kevin, brought him to the San Andreas Shifters pack to get him away from their abusive father.

We learn that Kev joined the San Andreas pack, in order to bring his younger brother along, expressly to get Colin away from their father. "As bad as Biff’s dad had been about Alec’s being gay, Colin’s dad was worse."

Gladiola takes Colin to the Saucebox to talk to Isaac. Realizing Colin was a werewolf, Isaac immediately turned him away. 
=== The Enforcer Enigma ===
Colin gets involved during a confrontation at Bean There, Froth That and finds himself in over his head with the selkie mob. With the help of his pack, they come to the aid of the barista: Trick. Meanwhile, his mother comes back into town and forces him to face his insecurities. With Judd's help, he finds his confidence.

== Quotes ==
*“Colin, who was a bit of a computer whiz (or possibly just young enough by comparison to the other pack members to seem that way) came immediately over to see what his Alpha was complaining about.” (The Sumage Solution, Chapter One)
*"He yearned for a mate or husband. He'd settle for partner. He didn't care the title, so long as there was someone who put him first in the world." (The Enforcer Enigma, Chapter Two)
*"Colin wasn't good at making people feel welcome, so he did the next best thing and provided quiet reassurance from afar. Or he hoped that was what he was doing. Mostly he felt awkward about the whole situation." (The Enforcer Enigma, Chapter Two)
*"It wasn't Judd's presence that scared Colin, it was the possibility of losing it. Even if theirs was only a temporary sexual fling with an inevitable ending already in place. Colin feared the total loss of Judd in his life, as a friend, as a protector." (The Enforcer Enigma, Chapter Five)
*"My pup has some fire to him, even if he is an unranked skinny little wimp,' said his mother with something like pride. Colin decided he hated her." (The Enforcer Enigma, Chapter Seven)
*"Colin is the least threatening werewolf ever to roar at the moon. The kid orders decaf lattes with whipped cream, for goodness' sake." (The Dratsie Dilemma, Chapter Twelve)
