## Background

Gulo Vinalay used to be the ruthless and cold-hearted wolverine leader of a wolverine pack. He would steal and assault innocent people. Gulo loved torturing people and to steal money and jewels. He was a worthy ruler to his pack. He showed no emotions for anyone except himself until one day, when he was attempting to steal a women's purse, he snuck up behind the lady and was about to pounce on her but when she turned around, Gulo was stunned by her beauty. Gulo then became defenseless and weak.

Sophia turned around and she wondered if Gulo needed help to get up since he fell. He then said yes and he asked Sophia, her name and when she told Gulo her name, he then fell in love with Sophia. Sophia fell in love with Gulo as well. She gave Gulo her phone number and told him to call her later. Once his whole pack was asleep, he called Sophia and they arranged a date. Gulo didn't know what to do because he has never gone on a date before so, he asked his older brother, Mateo for help since he's a romantic expert. First, they went to a tuxedo shop, then they visited a cologne shop and then after that, they practiced on some romantic quotes from Shakespeare.

Gulo was both confused and nervous about this date. He's hoping that it'll go well because, for some reason, he feels that Sophia is his true love. So, he went to Toulouse's to meet Sophia and when he saw her in a beautiful dress, he was once again stunned by her beauty. That sat, talked, laughed and had a great time. When Gulo got back from his date, his rival, Santiago was wondered why he was wearing a tux and Gulo said that he was stealing a fancy jewelry store and needed to dress in a tux to get in.

The next day, Gulo started to spend a lot more with Sophia than he does with his pack. He then realized that he belongs with Sophia than he does with his pack because Sophia even bought a mansion for them to live in when they get married. Gulo then told his pack, that he's leaving to get married a human lady. All of them were proud of Gulo except Santiago. He put Mateo in charge and then he went a jewelry store to get a ring to propose to Sophia.

Once he got to Sophia, he asked her to marry him and she said yes. They got married and move into the mansion and they had a son named Alex.

### Personality

Gulo used to be a ruthless and dishonest wolverine. He's was cold, selfish, greedy, uncaring and emotionless. He didn't care about anyone other than himself. He loved money and jewelry. Nothing could make Gulo have a change of heart. But once he met Sophia, it changed Gulo from a cold and cruel monster into a romantic and honest gentleman. He instantly fell in love with Sophia by looking into her eyes.

As a result of meeting a kind and beautiful person, Gulo became more caring and kind-hearted than being uncaring and cold-hearted. His brother, Mateo was a romantic expert but he didn't use any of Shakespeare's romantic quotes, he decided to just to be himself. After being himself towards Sophia, he developed a close, strong and powerful love relationship. That's when he came to senses meaning that he doesn't belong with the wolverines, he belongs with Sophia.

After leaving the wolverine pack and marrying Sophia, Gulo became a kind, sweet, selfless and loyal wolverine. He was even kinder to humans than he was before.
