Fang

Fang was a dark-furred American Mink with dark reddish-brown eyes. He was the familiar and companion to a wolf of Aryn named Ezra, with whom his story continues. Fang was created and RP'd by MlSTY.

## Personality

* ***Bossy, Clever, and Brash.*** Fang is not someone who easily submits to anyone. This however comes from being a mink. In order to get by, he needed to develop a hot-headed sort of way of thinking so that he could survive. Anyone who shows any signs of submission, even if it's slight, Fang will find a way to boss those individuals around. With that being said, he also had to learn how to be clever in the face of adversity. Weakness is not something that mink tend to accept, so Fang had to learn how to be smart about where he set his paws and how he caught his meals. His street smarts however can make him very arrogant. Boosting his ego is a way that Fang feels makes him stronger and wiser in tough situations.
* ***Caring, Protective, and Observant.*** While he might be a bit of a bossy and self-centered individual, for those Fang has known for the longest or has connected with, he can be quite caring and loving. He sort of has a big brother complex to him, to where he will stand up for others, especially creatures that are less mature than him, and will do what he can to protect them. He sort of is able to get an idea of how others are doing around him by simply watching or looking for social queues from others.

## Pre-Group History

Fang was born into a litter of eight mink kits to his mother. In mink culture, names are not important, as they are not social creatures. With this also being noted, Fang did not know his father. But this did not bother him, for his mother was all he and his seven other siblings needed to learn everything that a mink needed to know for survival. His mother taught him the fundamentals of being a mink: learning how to hunt, burrow, swim, and fight. After seven weeks in his mother's care, she weaned them off of her, and told them that it was their time to go off into the world and live their lives on their own.

Living in solitude was exactly what Fang did. He took to it naturally, without any problems. However, his mother did not prepare him for the winter that was to come. She did tell him and the rest of his siblings that winter would be hard to come by, but Fang did not expect it to be as hard as being unable to find typical meals such as mice, rats, or even rabbits. Fang was out hunting when he overheard someone talking to themselves. It was a wolf who was telling himself he needed to improve for not only himself, but also for the sake of his family. Just as he was about to scurry off somewhere else to find more food, this wolf caught onto him. While their first interaction started with him puffing out and spitting at the wolf, the gray wolf he now knew was named Ezra had showed him kindness and showed him where there would be prey. Not really interested in struggling to find more food, Fang decided to stay with Ezra in hopes of having an easy meal every day.
