Rowanberry

Rowan struggles to tread through the marsh segment of Slough Creek.

## Personality

Being a very kind, optimistic wolf, Rowan takes pride in having a large, flourishing pack, since he didn't have that opportunity as a pup. He only had his parents and two sisters - none of whom he got along with. Stream and Sandstorm would usually be prancing and jumping around in the tall grasses independently from each other - they acted in a solitary way. His mother Wisteria felt a close bond with him, but she never knew how to express her emotions properly, so she'd usually just watch from a distance. Rockslide, his father, was very survival-oriented and was usually busy hunting or marking territory. Rowan was the only social one, and he craved affection, sometimes even pulling off stunts such as provoking a herd of bull elk so he would get attention. His wish; his life's goal - is to have a large pack that would have time and patience for him no matter what. He's very determined to keep his pack alive, even if it costs him his own life.''

* LIFETIME CHALLENGE: **ONE BIG HAPPY** - Have a 3-4\* mate and a litter of 7 pups.

* SIDE CHALLENGE: **PROTECTIVE** - Don't let a single pup's health drop below 100% (unless they're sick, in which case make sure they live or else the challenge fails).

## Litters

### First litter with Obsidian - Age 3

Aries is a slim, black, and silver male, and he has a smaller build. Being a very social and hyper wolf, Aries just can’t fully spend his energy! He’s scarily active, and running, stalking, or prancing around, almost all the time. Every small sound makes him whip his head around in anticipation of it being someone (or something) he can play with. His head is constantly swirling with thoughts, and it will often make him shift focus from one thing to another very quickly. He’s also excessively bold and rather curious, which makes him ready for action in any situation. It’s as if he has a built-in motor, always giving him energy like a perpetuum mobile.

* LIFETIME CHALLENGE: **RESTLESS** – Always stay awake until at least 10% wakefulness before sleeping.

Fossil is a stunning dark gray wolf with pinkish-white streaks of fur tattering the gray. As expected of one named Fossil, this guy likes digging in the dusty, sandy dunes, and he adores high-up rocky areas. He’s super curious, adventurous, and rather playful, usually seen with his physically identical brother Dust. The two enjoy pretending to be one another to trick their packmates just because they think it’s funny. Other than the occasional mischievousness, Fossil explores and runs around a lot, usually by himself because nobody is as secure around cliffs and mountains as he is. He's an adrenaline-seeker after all, - he always does risky things. He also enjoys collecting things like bones, skulls, and antlers, which creep the others out, to say the least. In his heart, a wish to wander freely forever burns. Nevertheless, he believes that staying optimistic is what truly aids him in his adventures.

* LIFETIME CHALLENGE: **CAVE DWELLER** - Den only in rocky cave dens.
* SIDE CHALLENGE: **BONE** **GATHERER** - Bring every type of skull to the densite. When moving, bring the skulls with you.

Dust is a large, darker brown male, with some black parts to his coat. He's often covered in - you guessed it - dust. Unlike his identical brother Fossil, Dust has always been an extremely quiet, untrusting, monotonous wolf. It’s not like he didn’t like his packmates – he simply felt better alone. He’s constantly pessimistic, thinking of all the ways something could go wrong, but thankfully he doesn’t want to express his feelings of disdain to others. He’s surprisingly quick to defend himself, but it’s always in a snappy, annoyed tone. The only times he softens up are, of course, when he’s with Fossil, and he can sometimes be persuaded to do more social things by him.

Rhodes is a captivating silver wolf with a darker gray back stripe and a white muzzle, cheeks, and eyebrows. He's a strangely unbothered wolf, always grinning in the face of death. He’s always seen quietly gossiping in the shadows with Rook, yet other than that he seemingly doesn’t care about potentially dangerous situations. He’s very calm and collected no matter what situation he’s in, and he's quick to recover. His packmates can’t understand whether it’s a good or bad thing that he’s so undisturbed, perhaps a little bit of both. Other than his composure, an interesting trait of Rhodes’ is swift adaptability. If he’s with a sociable wolf, he’ll be talkative and social too, or if he’s with a loner, he’ll stay quiet and talk minimally.
