**Runt** is one of the major characters in the *Enchanted Pup* franchise. He's the fifth child and younger son of Bloodmoon and Luna, the younger brother of Adam, Karen, Timmy and Ace and the older brother of Abigail and Martin. Described as the "Entertainer" of the Pups, Runt can practice magic and cast spells through singing and playing instruments, like his violin.

## Background

Born into the Pup-Oceanmane family, Runt is the fifth child of Governors Bloodmoon and Luna, the younger brother of Adam, Karen, Timmy and Ace and the older brother of Abigail and Martin. In addition to being the nephew of Burnskin, Wolfgang, Blacktail, Dalila, Blackmane, Eddie, Angel, Robert and Giselle, Runt is also the cousin of Sebastian, Archibald, Artie, Stella, Brodi, Dwayne, Sierra, Charles and Hansel.

Runt became interested in music and wanted to be involved in the EverRealm Philharmonic Orchestra. He played several instruments and sang several songs growing up. On his eighth birthday, Runt was blessed with the ability to do feats of magic by singing. Runt's power so great that whenever he would sing, he would attract birds. Runt used his newfound magic to turn his bedroom into an auditorium and invited orphaned bluebirds to live in the room. Along with his siblings, Runt used his powers to help the people of EverRealm. Runt even used his power to entertain the EverRealmians at parties.

At some point during Runt's adolescence, his uncle Blacktail and aunt Dalila mysteriously died while traveling to the beach, leaving Blacktail's stepbrother, Wolfgang to rise as king. Upon coronation, Wolfgang enacted a law that forbade the use of magic with the punishment being death. Since Runt's singing would activate his powers, he had to stop singing in order to avoid falling victim to the anti-magic law. Runt lived miserably in the castle with his siblings. Fortunately, Adam encountered Dr. Harrison Stone, a shapeshifter who resided in the Windy Holm, a cave home to EverRealmians who exiled themselves after Wolfgang's law was enacted. Whenever Wolfgang wasn't looking, the Oceanmane siblings would head to the holm where they would practice magic there.

One night, Stone had a vision that a hero would come to EverRealm to fight against Wolfgang and restore magic. Runt promised to help train the hero for his battle against Wolfgang.

### Official Description

*The charmer of the Pups, Runt usually spends most of his time writing songs, dancing, painting and knitting. Like his father, Runt loves to entertain people with his powers. With his violin, beautiful voice, suave voice and rusty red hair, Runt will give a performance that is worth watching. Honestly, that's a lot about a sixteen-year old wolf.*

### Personality

Due to Runt's magical ability involving music, he is described as a talented dancer, singer and actor. Runt is shown to be extroverted just like his father. He's cheerful, optimistic and loves making others smile. Having a penchant for performing, Runt is described as a "lover for the theatrics." When not spending time with his family or helping his community, Runt spends time in his room acting out characters from his plays. He's usually annoyed when someone interrupts him, causing him to break character but always responds politely to whom comes into his room. Runt talks with a charming attitude, making him a suave and debonair in both tone and appearance. Even though Runt isn't boastful, vain or snobbish, he enjoys the attention he gets when performing in front of an audience. Before being blessed with his power, Runt was shown to be interested in the arts and happily pursued them.

Runt has a responsible side to his personality. He doesn't use his magic for himself but to help the kingdom. For instance, he uses his musical powers to help an insomniac fall asleep and he even rocks a baby to sleep. While Runt's power isn't necessarily as powerful as his older siblings, he often has struggles with his power. As an older brother figure to Abigail and Martin, Runt helps Abigail cope with her disorder and comfort Martin who was born during Wolfgang's reign. Still a teenager, Runt is a follower and happily assists a leader. He greatly admires and respects his eldest brother, Adam for how he leads and looks out for the family. Runt doesn't always depend on his family for help when needed. In times of a situation, Runt acts swiftly, showing a selfless and brave side to his personality.

Despite Runt's athletic and proud demeanor, Runt is caring, supportive, compassionate and sweet, especially towards his family. As stated before, Runt is good with children. He adopted several baby bluebirds who were in needed of a home. There were times where Runt served as a babysitter for Abigail and Martin when they infants. Just like Dwayne, Runt loves community service. He always comes up with an idea that'll help children who are in need of food, shelter and a family. Next to Timmy, Runt is very playful with Martin and happily carries him on his shoulders when walking up the mountain to find the elemental council. Runt becomes angered when anyone (notably Diesel) threatens his family or his birds.

Being a teenager, Runt suffers from insecurities and pressure. Before his blessing ceremony, Runt got involved with the kingdom's orchestra. There were times where Runt would spend many hours practicing his violin playing. Like a majority of the family, Runt is obsessed with perfection. Runt often hides his anxieties under his upbeat demeanor. Time spent in the Windy Holm allowed Runt to bond with his siblings and when he learned of their personal problems, Runt felt comfortable to talk about his insecurities with them.

Runt appears to a sense of fashion and loves wearing capes. One part of his room includes a closet filled with endless clothing and an aisle from him to walk down and model his clothing.

### Physical appearance

Runt is a muscular wolf with russet color. He has a cream muzzle, paws and chest. He has green eyes and wears blue long-sleeved collared shirts with dark blue pants. Of his brothers, Runt bears the strongest resemblance to his father. He inherited his father's fur color and muscular build.

### Powers and abilities

Runt can perform feats of magic by using music. Through singing or playing his violin, Runt can cast a spell. One of Runt's spells is used to people into an enchanted sleep. Runt's power is more of a skill that took years for him to master. He can casts spells by singing them in the form of a song. By playing his violin, Runt can generate sound waves, similar to Brodi's power.

Runt's power can be used for defensive attacks. By playing a harmonious melody, he can release a sound wave that can incapacitate his enemies. He is also athletic, flexible and a fast runner.

## Appearances

### The Enchanted Pup

Runt is seen in the castle's library writing a song when his father comes in to tell him to gather his siblings as it was time for Wolfgang to give his speech. Runt sighs in annoyance but obediently obeys his father's order. He gathers Adam who was praying in the chapel, Ace who was practicing on running without triggering his powers, Timmy and Martin who were playing a video game and finally Abigail and Karen who were down in the infirmary. As Wolfgang gives his speech, the Enchanted Pup, Hansel creates a pillar through magic, amazing the kingdom. Wolfgang immediately calls for the pup's arrest. Once the wolves chased Hansel and his friends into a forest, Adam battled the wolves allowing the Oceanmanes to take the trio back to their hideout.

In the Windy Holm, Runt is introduced by his Adam. He demonstrates his power by lulling a crying baby back to sleep. Hansel thanks the Oceanmanes for saving his life and explains that he's in EverRealm because the elemental spirits came here. Identifying himself as the Enchanted Pup, the Oceanmanes realize that the hero, they've been waiting has arrived. Since it was getting close to sunset, the Oceanmanes invite Hansel to stay for a few days. The next morning, Hansel is introduced to Dr. Harrison Stone and his teenage son, Bradley. They are a father-son duo of shapeshifters who called the cave, their home after the alleged death of Harrison's wife, Phoenix. Abigail discovers a love letter that is addressed to Hansel which was sent from the queen of Elkwood, a farmland kingdom through the Pawpaw Forest. Wanting to see who his secret admirer is, Hansel decides to journey to Elkwood but is stopped by his brother, Charles who arrived along with older brother, Dwayne and sister, Sierra after learning about Hansel's sudden absence. Hansel convinces his brother to let him meet up with his crush before leaving.

While traveling through Pawpaw, Hansel and the gang meets the Twin Paw clan, a band of vicious aliens lead by their king, Jordan. Having bad blood with the royal family, Jordan orders the gang to leave the forest immediately. Hansel tries to tell the Twin Paw that he doesn't mean any harm and that he wants to help the kingdom. When stating that he may be connected to the elements of the universe, a fire ignites and lights the Paws' tents. Although Hansel puts out the fire before it burned the homes to a crisp, Jordan has his army kick the gang out, believing Hansel summoned the fire spirit to burn down their homes. He even threatens to kill Hansel should he step foot into the forest again. Adam sends for Kirby, captain of the Deer Guard whose stealth and agility can help Hansel get to Elkwood without being spotted. Before Kirby arrives, the Oceanmanes tells a story about EverRealm's history in order to answer Hansel's question about why the Twin Paw hates the royal family. In an aurora vision, EverRealm was a joyful kingdom powered by magic and love. After the death of the king and queen, the Oceanmanes' aunt and uncle, Blacktail's stepbrother, Wolfgang rose to the throne and used his kingly power to enact a law that forbade the use of magic with the punishment being death. In the events before Blacktail and Dalila's deaths, the Twin Paw were welcomed members of the capital as they fought in wars, maintaining the kingdom's safety throughout the years. As king, Wolfgang had the power to banish the Twin Paw back to their domain as he doesn't need "filthy aliens" in his kingdom. The members of the Twin Paw were offended by this and decided to go from brave soldiers to savage beasts.

The vision also brought up the mysterious disappearance of the Oceanmanes' eldest cousin, Sebastian, who presumably committed suicide after believing that his parents' death was his fault. The siblings refuse to believe that Sebastian would harm himself especially since he had a close relationship with his cousins. They were hoping that the council could disclose Sebastian's location when they are found. Upon Kirby's arrival, the Oceanmanes help Hansel get ready for his date. Runt helps Hansel try on different suits before settling down with a blue one. The Oceanmanes wish Hansel luck as Kirby escorts him to Elkwood. A few hours later, Hansel returns happy with Kirby to the cave. Runt is happy along with his siblings that Hansel's date went well. Since it was sundown, the gang decided to settle down for the evening. The next morning, Hansel gets a letter from Jordan, inviting him to a fight at the top of Pawpaw River. Fighters are prohibited from using magic which is a problem for Hansel who cannot battle without help from his magic. Knowing this, Kirby happily agrees to train him. Runt helps out providing supplies along with Timmy and Martin. A few days later, Hansel was ready for his fight. Charles, Sierra, Dwayne, Marley, Buzzy, Adam and the Oceanmanes came to the forest to support Hansel. The battle started and as Hansel battled against Jordan, Runt can be seen cheering for Hansel. Runt and the others were left in suspense when Hansel came to Jordan's rescue after he fell over to the mountain to his doom. Hansel ends up saving Jordan who is grateful by the Pup's act of heroism. Thankful for his selfless act, Jordan offers to tag along with the Pups and Oceanmanes on their journey.

Meanwhile, Wolfgang learns from the werewolves that Jordan has joined Hansel and the gang. Angry at Jordan for disobeying his orders, he releases his pet, the Smogtaur to kill Hansel and his friends. As the gang are celebrating their victory back in the Windy Holm, they are attacked by the Smogtaur, forcing them to evacuate. Runt witnessed as Wolfgang imprisoned the exiled EverRealmians for breaking the laws. Hansel promised the Oceanmanes that he will free them as soon as they find the elementals. The gang decides to take shelter in Amber's palace in Elkwood until they head off for the council. Runt and the others. In the palace, Hansel asked the Oceanmanes what were the circumstances that led to Sebastian's presumed death. Karen explains that Sebastian suffers from an anxiety disorder and when his parents, Blacktail and Dalila passed away, he ended up taking his life. The siblings refuses to believe that Sebastian committed suicide because he had such a great support system from his family. The Oceanmanes hope that when they find the council, they can locate Sebastian and bring him home. Plus, no body was found, so there's no proof that Sebastian's dead. With the Smogtaur's tracking skills, he manages to locate the Pups and chase them out of the palace, forcing them to retreat to Lakeville. The town's leader, Buttons initially refused to let Hansel and his friends in until Buzzy showed himself. Buzzy is Buttons' adoptive father whom Buttons thought had died after disappearing. He tells how Hansel saved him from being eaten by a giant monster.

Grateful for Hansel's heroism, Buttons welcomes the Pups into the village with open arms. While in Lakeville, Runt is seen looking at instruments in the town's music store. The gang soon leaves the town when Wolfgang makes another attempt on Hansel. After escaping Wolfgang, the gang continues up a mountain to the elementals' residence. Upon reaching the top of the mountain, there is nothing up there. Charles, believing that Hansel intentionally endangered everyone for the sake of an adventure, he argues with his brother again. The argument ends with Hansel wishing Charles would listen to him and with Charles disowning Hansel as his brother. Before Hansel could respond, Wolfgang, the guards and the Smogtaur arrive at the top of the mountain. Wolfgang reveals that the sign that leads to the elementals' residence was a trap. Wanting Hansel out of his way, Wolfgang sedates the Enchanted Pup and throws him off a cliff, much to the horror of Charles and the gang. The gang is subsequently arrested and taken back to the palace to be incarcerated.

Unknown to the gang, Hansel survived the fall (thanks to Bradley and Buzzy) and manages to find the elementals' real residence, the Gold Volcano. From the elementals, Hansel learns that Wolfgang is responsible for Blacktail and Dalila's deaths. He murdered them in a desperate attempt to gain control over EverRealm and placed the blame on Sebastian as it was his idea for his parents to go on a vacation for their honeymoon. It is also revealed that Hansel and his siblings are related to the Oceanmanes. Now knowing the truth about the past, Hansel forms an alliance with the elementals and Sebastian and returns to Chillrock. In the dungeon, the Pups mourn Hansel's supposed death. The gang's tears of sorrow turns to tears of joy when they see Hansel is alive and frees them from their cell. Once they exited their cell, the Oceanmanes spot their long-lost cousin, Sebastian. Among his siblings, Runt embraces Sebastian, relieved that's home and safe. With everyone together, the gang flies to Mount Olympus to battle Wolfgang and his army of living natural disasters. During the battle, Runt plays a magical tune on his violin, generating a powerful energy wave that pushed the rock Growler away from innocent civilians.

The Growlers are destroyed and the Smogtaur is tamed leaving Hansel to battle Wolfgang. Hansel manages to defeat Wolfgang with help from Buzzy. With Wolfgang defeated, Hansel and the Pups return home to EverRealm after picking up Robert and Giselle from New Bedford, Massachusetts. Runt works alongside his siblings and cousins to repair the city's damages. Once the repairs to the castle are complete, the Pups agree to have Hansel crowned as EverRealm's new king. Hansel and Amber's coronation restores magic to the palace, allowing the Pups to move back in. As Hansel's first act as king, he abolishes the anti-magic law allowing EverRealmians to use magic now and forever. Runt celebrates the return of EverRealm's magic by leading his pet birds back to his room with a peaceful tune in a manner of the Pied Piper. The film ends with Runt joining the family in a snowball fight.

In the film's beginning, it comes time for Ralph's blessing ceremony where Runt and the family helps prepare the castle for the event. In one sene, Runt plans to play a song on his piano for the party and asks Dwayne if he could carry a piano to his room. 9PM comes and it's time for Ralph's ceremony starts. Zeus and his family arrive and blesses Ralph with transcendent weaponry. The after party is moved in Ralph's newly remodeled room and Runt plays dance music on his piano where friends from his music class perform a tap dance performance for the audience.

Hansel later leaves the kingdom to find someone who can help protect the kingdom in the future and leaves Amber in charge with kingdom affairs until he returns. A few days later, Hansel returns to EverRealm with the Mastiffs consisting of Eddie, Brodi, Archibald, Artie and Stella. Hansel bids the Mastiffs a farewell before they depart back to Woolsville but he later has to go back to Woolsville when he realizes the Mastiffs have been abducted.
