## Geneology

Achillies is the son of Meadow and Genesis, and was born at the Cresent den in April. He was the last one born and the runt of seven puppies. He was the heir to generation 2, and the founder of the Dawn Moon Pack. Achillies was one of two males, his brother being Arrow, and his sisters were Parsley, Daisy, Bluebell, Calypso, and Marigold II. He’s mates with Persephone and father to Hades, Artemis, Demeter, Jalan, Alicia, Apollo and Circe.

## Biography

Achillies lived to see Daisy killed by coyotes, Bluebell by stranger wolves and Marigold II by disease. He was chosen as one of the heirs of the Moon Pack, leading a branch called the Dawn Moon Pack. He met Persephone, who was a three star mate on Amethyst Mountain. Together they went to Slough Creek, where they were drawn to the meadows. They had seven puppies named Hades (2M), Artemis (2F), Demeter (3F), Jalan (3M), Alicia (4F), Apollo (4M), and Circe (5F). They moved from their rocky den to a coyote den and then their final den was another rocky one. In the beginning of his parenting career he had to do a lot by himself because of Persephone's loner personality. Eventually they warmed up to each other, and became a very strong pair. Achillies brought his puppies to the summer rendezvous site where they lived happy and healthy. Towards the end of the summer, Artemis got sick and Achillies showed his devotion to her by not leaving her side. Achillies’s lifetime quest was to raise all pups to adulthood, in which he succeeded, and so he became the first Moon Pack Wolf to raise the biggest litter in which all survived.

## Personality

Achillies has a very gentle personality. He was smart enough to avoid most conflicts and didn't want to get caught in a fight. Seri also described him as stubborn from time to time. At first, he would only take territory that was below 50%. He also came up with the idea of keeping his scent markers close together so he would not have to run as far. Since he was the runt of his litter he wasn’t as strong as the others, but he was smart and always came up with an idea. Achillies was a very loving and kind dad, often smothering his puppies with attention. He always wanted them to stay little furballs. He never gave up on bonding with Persephone, he truly loved her and wanted her to be more comfortable around him and their pups. He always puts his pack’s needs in front of his.

## Appearance

Achillies was a golden wolf with brown along his sides and down his nose. He’s got black fur beneath his ears that runs up on his back, and some lighter fur at the base of his tail. He may have inherited this coat color from his grandmother, Marigold I and his great-grandmother, Dawn. His eyes were bronze coloured. He also had a radio collar, so he got snatched up by researchers sometime during his early life. As a pup Achillies' fur was sand coloured with some slightly darker patches along his back, on his hips, and his neck, and his paws were a light sand colour. He also had a black tip on his tail.
