**Grey** is a male Border Collie, formerly Beta of his Pack. When the culprit behind the murders was revealed, and his Alpha, Willow, sided with Ink, he advanced in the Pack hierarchy, accepting the role of Alpha and taking control of the Pack he had served as Beta for so many moons.

## Appearance

Grey is no wonder when it comes to size or strength; in fact, he is a little on the small side, and not particularly fast or strong. However, he is wiry and lithe, gifting him with the ability to slip through tight spaces where a larger dog's broad shoulders would have barred the way.

Apart from his small frame and unimpressive stature, other noticeable features about Grey are the pattern of his fur, and his bright, intelligent eyes that seem to observe everything.

Grey's fur is a combination of colours: white, grey and black, although the majority of it is black. A thin line of white runs along Grey's muzzle, and the tip of his other-wisely dark tail is also white, as is his chest and underbelly. Rings of grey run through his fur, sending splashes of light through the contrasting black.

## Personality

Grey dislikes fighting, finding it rather uncivilized, preferring to use words instead of physically digging his teeth into other's flesh, tasting their blood on his tongue, or watching the light fade from their eyes after he'd torn out the enemy's throat. When he was younger, he liked fighting, thinking he was proving how brave and strong he was, but moons after, the faces of his victims still tormented him, making it so that they very thought of death would bring nausea to him. Grey is intellectually talented; gifted with the power of a quick mind and a sharp wit. Sometimes, he uses his extensive vocabulary and interesting manner of speaking to unsettle others, and allow himself to gain the upper paw in an argument, or just to simply prove his point, making his decision seem smarter then it really is. A favorite pastime of Grey's is observing the Pack. He settles himself on the stump he uses to address the Pack, keeping watch over his charges, and allowing his mind to run away with itself. After Ink's betrayal, and the split of the Pack, he developed a rather nervous and timid streak, fearing for the life of the packmates who had sided with him. Grey does enjoy being Alpha, but lacks a few certain qualities that both make sure his reign does not turn into a dictatorship, but also makes it more difficult for him to make decisions in the best interest of all his packmates. He dislikes public speaking, often questions his decisions before and after they have been made final, despises assigning punishments, and fears that his Pack will betray him at any point. Grey has many faults, but he attempts his best as Alpha. The beginning of his rule was not an ideal way to become Alpha, as discovering the true identity of the murderer behind the series of murders the Pack had been enduring for moons, and having multiple dogs choose to join her in her quest to obliterate the Pack is not quite an easy thing to get over. Grey had been attracted to Willow for many moons before her betrayal, and when the former Alpha decided to join forces with the traitor Ink, along with a pawful of other former pack members, the betrayal drove him mildly insane, but also gifted him with strength, determination, and a desire for revenge. The depth of her betrayal caused all affection he once felt for her to disappear almost instantaneously.

## History

**False Truths**

Grey was Beta of the Pack from the beginning of the roleplay, although did not make many appearances, choosing to dedicate his time to hunting, which stopped him pondering over the mystery of the murderer, who was later revealed to be Ink.

When Ink was revealed to be the cause of the many deaths that had plagued the Pack for so many moons, Grey was thrust into leadership, as Ink ran off with a few disloyal dogs who thought that the downfall of the Pack was a great idea. The fact that Willow, the very dog who had appointed him Beta, and been the object of his love for so many moons and turned cold, bloodthirsty and *evil*... it unsettled him greatly, but also gave him strength to do what he must as Alpha.

It took a while for him to choose his Beta, as he understood that his choice would influence the Pack for many moons, although he finally decided on a trustworthy dog, a dog that he would trust with his life. Akisha.
