Art By Turklez of DA.

Garrif is a young flame red furred wolf with a darker back and tail. Each of his shoulders have two white stripes. His eyes are ice blue. His ultimate fom is a muscular, large white wolf named Fenrir who is also the first created wolf. Fenrir was Garrif, but in a past life, and every time he is enraged his can shape-shift into the White Wolf. This brave young wolf is sometimes used as SilasWolfFang's own fursona, yet he is mostly known for his role in the comic Kaen Legend Garrif.

## Kaen Legend Garrif - Comic (2014)

In the comic Kaen Legend Garrif, Garrif first appears in the first chapter which is also narrated by him. He is six months old. He appears to have been sleeping in a burrow or cave overnight, and when he exits it he overlooks a forest valley. Going to explore it, he finds that the forest is very beautiful and has a holy vibe to it.

He quickly stumbles upon Shora, a she-wolf a little older than him, in a clearing and she is very territorial. Because of this, she punishes him for entering her territory, pretending to be the leader of her pack. Garrif gets beaten badly, cut and thrown up against a tree. Shora claims that throwing Garrif against a tree should have broken his back, but it did not; this could be due to pure luck, Shora's lack of skill in executing the technique correctly, or perhaps Garrif is special in this way and did not get damaged easily. That is unknown.

Following, Garrif seems to have a flashback of his mother Amaranth getting murdered by Shadowfang's soldiers via getting her throat slashed; he then contemplates the idea that because Shora is 'bad' and 'hurts him' that she must be one of Shadowfang's followers and so goes into a blind rage which causes him to black out and forget everything that he did from that point onward. He activates his elemental fire powers and cries, "KAEN KIZUATO!"

Garrif uses the "fire fang" elemental ability and scars Shora's shoulder, searing the wound as well. Garrif is special because he is the only wolf who can control blue fire, the hottest flame. Garrif then pins Shora, who is dazed and in shock, and picks her up in his mouth and tosses her across the forest clearing. Shora recovers herself and slowly approaches Garrif, saying furiously, "I will kill you for what you did to my shoulder!" However, she is stopped by her father Draco, who says, "Killing is not the answer to defending our clan, but I thank you for your courage and determination, Shora."

Shora apologizes humbly to her father, and steps back to let him deal with the intruder. Draco introduces himself as the legate of the Shirokami Clan, the wolf pack that own the Shirokami Valley. After talking for a bit, Garrif tells his history in completion with Shadowfang and explains what happened with his family. Draco feels sympathy for the pup and offers that he join the Shirokami Clan, and Garrif gladly accepts. Draco tells him that the alpha must officially welcome him in and they all travel back to camp.

On the way back to camp, Draco tests Garrif's abilities and climbs a tree effortlessly, "All Shirokami wolves can climb trees and run through them, branch to branch, like the wind. Can you do the same?" Garrif is determined to please Draco and successfully runs through the trees, following Draco and Shora. Upon entering the camp, Garrif is led to the alpha's den where the Alpha Eaglecall accepts him and then holds an apprentice ceremony for him.

During the ceremony, Alpha Eaglecall asks if anyone has any objections to Garrif joining the Clan. Shora speaks up and announces, "I have an objection. I did not have a fair fight with him. He attacked me with his elemental powers and yet I was not using anything but brute force, he cheated. I demand a rematch, and if he wins, he gets to join, but if I win, he leaves."

Garrif feels terrified, because he did not remember how to do the fire attack, for he had done it while blacked out. He could only take the word of others that it had even happened to begin with. Eaglecall allows it after some talk with his legate Draco, and Garrif nervously goes off to face with Shora. They fight, Garrif metaphorically gets his ass kicked; Shora uses her "Tsuru" elemental powers (which are the controlling of thorny vines) and painfully chains Garrif to the ground, giving him round after round of gashes and wounds. Garrif cries and feels himself about to black out from the pain, but as his vision is dimming he does what he has been hoping for; he goes into a rage and uses his powers again to burn off the vines. He then attacks Shora with a fireball, which Shora dodges having been ready this time for his attack and having been trained in battle by her Clan prior.

Garrif tricks Shora and runs at her, then Shora shoots a thorny vine at him which he catches his mouth and burns and then wraps around her body, engulfing her in the vines and flames. Shora is defeated and Kakesu (Shora's mother) uses her ability to control water and puts out the fire. Garrif is accepted as one of the Shirokami Clan.

The comic stops there and is never continued further. Kaen Legend Garrif, referring to the comic, is the first version of Garrif's story and a more modernized story was created in 2016. That story has 3 different versions, which go by the names of **"The Legend of Azure Eden"**, **"12-37"** and **"Kaen Legend Garrif: Echoes of the Past"**.
