## Biography

### Apperance

A 5’1 spotted hyena, with a shorter tail than normal. He stands on two legs, and has no trouble walking normally, as a human would. One of Loki’s eyes is slightly blind, not completely though, from the dust storm that tore through their small town. His nose is also a small bit scarred from the dust storm, affecting his sense of smell. Loki always brings a small, light brown, pouch around with him as well. While it isn’t a pouch that he wears, instead he always keeps with him. Usually holding it in his hands for comfort. It holds Rock, and Little Tree (Refer to the Items section)

## Personality

Loki is mostly a chaotic character. Playing dangerous pranks on people around him. From pushing them down stairs, to simply teasing them in their own home. From the outside he seems dangerous, and almost unstable. Doing things for the pure excitement that it gives him in the moment. Which honestly, is a pretty accurate description of him even once you get to know him.

Loki's personality stretches far deeper than that though. He is filled with regret and self-hatred, which he pushes down. He tends to cover up these negative, painful feelings by resorting back to a childhood sense of joy. He chases the thrill to not slow down and actually recognize what is chasing him.

Loki's has always hated feeling helpless, but ever since his brother's and his pack's deaths that dislike deepened. It twisted into something darker and guilt ridden. The strongest feeling of helplessness in his life was his pack's death, he doesn't like reliving that.

### Background

Loki was born into a large family. While he didn’t relate much to his sisters, he found friendship with his brother. From a young age he found that he enjoyed the thrill of the chase, the thrill of the moment. So he started playing harmless pranks on his mother, and sisters. But soon his pranks got more dangerous, or harmful. It went from putting small holes in the dirt that they would trip on, to burying the pack’s food, and leading predators to the pack. His mother, his sisters, his brother, and his pack scolded him for this. After a while, he finally listened, and started to lighten up on his pranks again. Finding joy in tiny, harmless pranks. Which helped him find his signature hyena cackle. Eventually, things started going wrong. When he was 10, his brother died. His whole family grieved for him, and tried to help Loki through his his grief. But failed to properly help him through that time in his life, as much as they tried. Loki decided to start more dangerous pranks again, getting worse and worse as time continued. The scolding that his mother and his siblings gave him didn’t affect him anymore. For one of his pranks, he was going to lead a small snake into their pack, and put it next to one of his sisters. Then jump in and kill it before it would harm anyone. But he got slightly lost, he couldn’t find any snakes. Soon he found something much different than a snake, a huge dust storm raging their way. He ran back, and pleaded with his pack to hide from the storm, and take cover, but they called him a liar. Not believing his words. Loki hid alone from the storm. Some of the storm reached him when he tried to find his pack, and scarred his eye and nose. When he came out again, his small town was ripped apart, his pack either dead, or close to it. He fled, after almost a day grieving his family. Loki blocked out that memory of his past. If people don’t believe him, why should he try?
