**Burnskin** is a supporting character in the animated feature film, *The Enchanted Pup.* He's the youngest brother of Blacktail and Bloodmoon. He works alongside with his brother as the deputy governor of Chillrock. Burnskin is able to do magic through alchemy.

## Background

Burnskin was the third and youngest son born to King Odin and his wife, Queen Ingrith and the youngest brother of Blacktail and Bloodmoon. On his eighth birthday, Burnskin was blessed with alchemy. The rest of the night, Burnskin stayed in his room testing out his new potions. During Burnskin's childhood, Ingrith passed away, leaving Odin to take care of his sons by himself. Along with his brothers, Burnskin helped his father rule the kingdom. When Burnskin grew into a teenager, his father remarried. He married Jade, a widow with two sons from her previous marriage (Wolfgang and Robert).

Burnskin became close with his stepbrother, Robert but was developed a bad relationship with Wolfgang like Blacktail did. As an adult, Burnskin was involved in politics and helped his brother run for governor. During the years, Bloodmoon, Blacktail and Robert found love and started a family. In addition to becoming an in-law to Angel, Dalila, Giselle, Luna and Blackmane, Bloodmoon also became an uncle to Sebastian, Adam, Ace, Timmy, Runt, Martin, Abigail, Karen, Dwayne, Sierra, Charles, Hansel, Archibald, Artie, Stella and Brodi. Burnskin happily attended all of his nieces and nephews' blessing ceremony and was always amazed by the powers they would be blessed with. A few years later, Odin and Jade died while traveling to another planet. Blacktail was then crowned king of EverRealm shortly thereafter with Dalila as his wife.

Burnskin worked alongside with Bloodmoon and Luna as the deputy governor for the years of Blacktail's reign. On Blacktail and Dalila's wedding anniversary, they died in a tragic accident while traveling to the beach in a carriage. With Bloodmoon and Burnskin working in politics and Sebastian (Blacktail's son) was presumed death, Wolfgang was crowned as the new king. Upon coronation, Wolfgang outlawed magic with the penalty being death. As a result, Burnskin had to stop practicing alchemy but still continued to read books on alchemy in hopes of using it again soon. Burnskin was one of the Pup relatives who hated Wolfgang for his unjust law.

### Development

Burnskin's design was inspired by Winston from the 2010 computer animated feature length film, Alpha and Omega. In the early drafts of the Enchanted Pup, Burnskin was originally an unnamed character and later given a name in the Black Lion draft. He was originally widowed and lost his unborn child to a miscarriage. In the final draft, Matthew decided to make Burnskin a single character. Having never been married or had children, Burnskin treats his nieces and nephews as if they were his own kids.

### Personality

Burnskin is described by his brothers as "The Hot Tempered One." Like his niece, Abigail, Burnskin is overly emotional and is prone to outbursts of anger. He would express his anger through growling and picking his claws. Unlike his older brother, Bloodmoon, who is exuberant and optimistic, Burnskin can be identified as an introvert. As a pup, he was very shy, even on his blessing ceremony. When his picture was taken, Burnskin's smiled was uncertain. Growing up, Burnskin's confidence and passion for alchemy grew. His ability allows him to bond with his niece, Karen who can heal the sick and injured with magic.

His temper can be easily calm down when supported by his loved ones. Although Burnskin often clashes with Bloodmoon who wants to handle a situation in a civil manner whereas Burnskin wants to fight back. Before his untimely death, Blacktail often helped Burnskin keep his temper in check. Burnskin's temper mostly came out of determination to keep Chillrock and its inhabitants. When someone threatens the kingdom or his family, Burnskin's reaction is to attack the enemy. Burnskin takes the law seriously than any other member of the EverRealmian government. After Blacktail and Dalila's murders, Burnskin wanted to find their killer and bring them to justice.

Although Burnskin never got married or had kids, he doted on his nephews and nieces. He enjoys practicing magic with Karen and he usually spends time with the younger members on the night before their ceremony. Despite minor friction between him and Bloodmoon, Burnskin is close with him, especially after Blacktail died and Robert disappeared from the family. When his memories of Hansel was restored, Burnskin immediately embraced his long-lost nephew and starting shedding tears of joy. Burnskin also happily helped Hansel rebuild the EverRealmians' home and encouraged him to take the throne as king. In the other films and animated series, Burnskin has appeared to become Hansel's assistant when he deals with the political affairs in EverRealm. The two share a close relationship.

Under Burnskin's temper and slight violent tendencies, Burnskin suffers from insecurities. After losing his parents to an illness and a space crash, Burnskin kept a tight grip on his brothers, as he didn't want to lose them. Before Blacktail and Dalila left for their honeymoon, Burnskin expressed his worries by asking them did they have to leave for their anniversary. Burnskin's greatest fear is losing his family suddenly and without having a chance to say goodbye. Burnskin's insecurities were eased after Blacktail and Dalila's deaths were avenged and the return of Hansel, Charles, Dwayne, Sierra, Robert, Giselle and Sebastian.

Along with the Mayor, the Assistant Mayor begged Wolfgang to spare Matthew's life but he wouldn't listen.

After Derek, Billy and David failed to catch Matthew, the Assistant Mayor started wonder where Adam and his siblings were along with the Mayor.
