Alexander

***Alexander*** is an adult blue wolf living within the Bajelous Jungle and is both the biological father to Grey and Bhoot, and adopted father to Kimba, Bravo, Tango, Sierra, and briefly to Steven Universe before he was reunited with the Crystal Gems. He is also a high-ranking member of the Bajelous Tribe as both a council member and the titled "prince of the wolves".

## Appearance

Alexander is standard size for a Gray Wolf. He is notable for his blue fur, and three-pointed markings along his face that resemble tuffs of fur such as with Raksha and Kimba. His chest, muzzle, and tail are pure white.

## Personality

As both a biological father and caretaker to others in the Bajelous Wolf Pack, Alexander is a calm, brave, and caring father to those that he considers family, and to those less fortunate than him even if it might be less fortunate to offer his support. He is shown allowing Tabaqi the leftovers to his family's meal, despite protests by Bravo and the confusion of his children. He holds his family's lives dearly to him, and doing whatever it takes to protect them from whatever threat would come to them, shown multiple times as he's willing to stand against Shere Khan and even larger predators such as a Werewolf.

Although he is often level-headed and calm himself, his compassion and care towards others does leave him exposed to worrying over dangers that might appear rather than what will appear, thus making him a victim to both his own thoughts at times and to those willing to mess with him.

## History

### Volume 01. Arrival

Alexander is first shown at the Wolf Den with the rest of his family, getting the children to stop playing with Kimba before bringing them all into the den. On the following morning, Tabaqi arrives to their den and he's the first to speak up against Bravo driving him out, pointing out how not only does he have to eat as well, but he's too weak to fight any of them if he wanted to, also stating he doesn't see a reason not to let him. As he was doing this, he allows the others to go to Baloo's class, but after they go, Raksha catches him looking worried about their safety. He explains that while they are capable of taking care of themselves, he can't help but worry thanks to all the Dinosaurs and Beasts appearing, and the original Laws of the Jungle barely being followed at that point in time. His worry only gets worse when Tabaqi shares with him the news that Shere Khan has returned to their part of the jungle, Alexander scared over his children's safety with him around. He does calm down thanks to Raksha reminding him that Tabaqi was simply riling him up, and he promises to have more faith in their children.

Even with this promise, when Kimba didn't return to the den that night, he goes out with Raksha and Bravo to try and find him, going as far as to leave the younger children back in the den, his reason being that he can't bring them out into the jungle at night due to how dangerous it would be. Before any argument can be had, he hears Kimba's roar, and rushes off ahead of them to try and find him.

The following morning, he and the others in the family go out and manage to hunt down a scale bird for breakfast, bringing it back just in time to see Steven Universe awake. As they're eating, Alexander asks Kimba what exactly happened that left him out for so long, pressing into it until he finally explains to him about the Red Eye crash. He and the others hear the sound of Shere Khan's roar soon after this, and he tells the children to get inside the back part of the den.

Once Shere Khan arrives, Alexander greets him with a bow of his head, asking what their family owes for the honor of his visit. When Shere Khan tries getting into the den though, he quickly stands in his way, trying his best to keep him away from the younger members inside and stating he can't have them. Desperate to save Steven Universe, he proclaims that he's willing to adopt him into the family, thus protecting him under Animalian Tribe laws. He stays brave until Shere Khan leaves, though he does apologize to Steven for his quick decision. He tries keeping Steven in the cave all the same, thinking it's too dangerous for him to wander outside with Shere Khan present. In the end, he promises (along with the others) to keep his presence a secret by Raksha's request.

This kept up for a few days, and eventually he goes out with his family to the creek, deciding to bring Steven along with them as long as they stay together for safety. On the way he starts to question the kind of games they were playing, finding them to be "Human games" rather than standard wolf ones, but he just lets them do their thing while Raksha handles them on the way. When they make it to the creek, he takes a rest by the edge of the jungle until a large, titan hollowhorn arrives on the scene. He's calm at first, though bewildered that Steven is even able to pet the animal at all, but when Steven tries going after it to save his friend, he and Raksha try talking him out of doing so. He points out that whatever friend he was trying to get wouldn't be there as hollowhorns don't hunt, and since nobody still knows he's even there, they don't know what would happen if they found him on his own. Reluctantly though, thanks to his own children guilt-tripping him, he agrees to let them all go after it. Leading them to the nesting grounds in the Savannah, he reluctantly lets Steven go out there, but firmly refuses to let any of the pups out into the herd too. Things get worse though when they start sensing a werewolf nearby, Alexander changing his mind and telling them to catch up to Steven. He confronts and fights the werewolf to keep them safe, getting injured doing so. He is saved by Steven though, protected within his gem bubble. Calming down, he sees them off.

Following that night, Alexander heals up from the fight and is sleeping in the den until Bravo wakes everyone up after attacking someone. He is quick to question her actions and asks what their guest was actually doing there. He soon learns from the other Crystal Gems present of their old home, and he tells them that while they weren't the first animals in the Bajelous to lose their home before, they know little to nothing about their old home beyond what they told them about it. Garnet asks him specifically about what happened to Earth, and later asking him again about joining the actual tribe itself.

This all comes to a head when the springtime gathering arrives, Alexander with Fox, Hazel and Ben as part of the council. Alexander brings up the group wanting to join the tribe and is also one of two council members to speak for them joining the tribe, him recounting his experience with the werewolf and hollowhorns days prior.
