Ataw

Eustace (Brother)

Mirakel, Mila, Makenna, and Faucon (Sisters)

## Application Sheet

Ataw was a dark brown male wolf with a cleft lip and blue-green eyes. He was born in Chandor, in the midst of the Hive Wars, to parents Navindru and Dayanara. He and his littermates, Faucon and Eustace, were a bit of a surprise to the couple and their daughters Mila, Mirakel, and Makenna (though Makenna has yet to meet her younger siblings). His story is ongoing. Ataw was created and RP'd by Jackalloops.

## Personality

A beatific young wolf with boundless optimism,  Ataw is a faithful and kind member of Chandor, if a bit sheltered about the dynamic world occurring around him. He has a genuine and trusting demeanor, and believes everyone has the capacity for good. Ataw deeply values his personal freedoms, but his loyalty to his pack's welfare is unshakeable and the two are intrinsically tied in his mind.
A social climber with a strong personality. Even from a young age Ataw exhibited good leadership skills, though they may have been wasted on someone without particularly strong ambitions. While he is a patient wolf who follows the example of his elders in hopes of someday emulating them, he is also very headstrong and needs a firm paw instructing him. He has a strong sense of self, and is confident in who he is and what he does. A particularly submissive or timid wolf may find his energy oppressive.

He is rarely afraid of new experiences, and very much looking forward to seeing everything the world has to offer. Ataw is not socially shy, and neither is he easily intimidated. Reckless when the stakes are low, Ataw doesn't mind a few scrapes and bruises, but sometimes bad at assessing total risk or estimating his own limits. As a general rule, he would never endanger a packmate, but may lead them to the brink of danger.

His tasks are completed with care and he rarely needs to be reminded of his duties. Ataw is not the utmost perfectionist, but goes the extra mile when he's assigned to something he enjoys like tracking or tidying up the den site. Ataw has grown into a adult who typically follows instructions from his superiors well. His deep curiosity may cause him to question something he doesn't understand the logic or need for, but this isn't something done in non-compliance.

Ataw is not a wolf who keeps secrets and shares himself wholly with those around him. He very much wear his heart on his sleeve, and it is easy to gauge his emotions and intent. Because he errs towards quietness, he typically keeps his opinions on larger matters to himself unless directly asked.

Ataw does not tolerate negative experiences well and will develop a grudge quickly. He holds on to every rude comment, cold shoulder, or otherwise negative interaction and replays them in his head constantly. While he does his best to not behave openly hostile, Ataw is still learning to control his temper and is prone to outbursts when someone he has had conflict with-- or whom he perceives to dislike him-- is around too often.

## Pre-Group History

Ataw and his littermates arrive in the Domain as a surprise, carried safe and warm in Dayanara's belly, and lulled to sleep by their parents' voices.  He would not have yet known there would be a much bigger world to explore, or the events unfolding within it.
