Amathena pups

Name:  Griffin Leonardo Adravendi-Armada

Gender: Male

Appearance: I really like the 2nd design if I may use that? He stands at a regal 38" and weighs in at a sturdy 145 lbs. A handsome russet hue covers the majority of his body from head to tail. However, all of his legs are white, from the paws up to the elbows on the forelegs, and from paws to thighs on the hinds. He also has white markings below the lower lid of each eye. The eyes themselves are a vibrant sky blue, and very expressive of everything within his heart. Griffin has a very masculine frame, with broad shoulders, heavy bone and thick muscle throughout his body. His skull is large, though not out of proportion with his body, while his muzzle and ears are both of medium length. His neck is long and powerful, holding his head at a proud angle. Although his legs are long and graceful in appearance, the strength in the limbs is obvious - his stride can cover ground swiftly and effortlessly. His torso is brawny and well-muscled but in an athletic manner rather than a bulky, heavy way. The rusty colored tail is long and flowing, adding to his appearance of grace, athleticism and flexibility.

Personality: Either Lawful Good, Neutral Good or Lawful Neutral (start as Neutral Good and see where character development goes!). Kind, good-natured, generous, humorous/goofy, honest, hard-working, determined, protective and devoted to family. Griffin wants to be the best he can be, looking up to the adults in the pack and admiring their strength, courage and knowledge. He's not sure what he wants to be yet, but he is determined to learn as much as he can and do his very best for his family. He wants to provide and protect, and will grow into a very reliable, devoted family man. He is optimistic and likes to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. He is generally good-natured and humorous, enjoying a good laugh with friends and to see those around him smiling. He is honest and would never feel right omitting information or making up stories, even if it would get him out of trouble. He would rather take responsiblity for his actions than try to cover his tracks. After all, he would expect the same sort of truthfulness from others. He holds nothing back and at times he can be blunt but he only wants the best, and feels that sharing the truth is the only right thing to do. However, it is not his intent to cut down others with his words, and he will do his best to make amends and give confidence back to anyone he has hurt. He holds the values of life, hope, truth and honor close to his heart, and these are things he strives to uphold. (Would change/add more as he develops!)

RP sample: The young  boy would bound along to the edge of the territory, looking past the mangroves to lands he'd been warned not to venture off to. But he was so curious! His baby blue gaze would wander across unfamiliar lands, paws itching eagerly to explore. However, his mom's words rang in his ears. You better not dare go beyond the boundaries I've shown you! Amalia would warn. Don't worry, mom, I won't go too far... I'll be home before anyone notices I've gone! he'd think to himself, convincing himself that he was oh so clever and stealthy for coming this far. His russet tail would flag into the air, a white paw reaching across the border. Curiosity tugged at him as he placed his paw down, but guilt began to claw at his heart already. What would Amalia and Athena think if they found out he'd disobeyed them?

He pursed his lips and drew back his paw, pouting to himself, still conflicted. He really wanted to see what was out there, but he didn't want to disappoint his mothers, nor any of his mentors.  Why couldn't they just take him out to explore, if they thought it was so dangerous for him to be alone? Was he really so small that he couldn't be expected to go beyond Fiori territory? "I feel fine!" he exclaimed to himself in a boyish temper, "They should trust me to go out on my own. I've seen like four moons already, I'm not a whelp!" He huffed and puffed to himself before deciding to turn around and stomp back toward the mangroves where everyone else would be. Why couldn't he just go off on his own? Well, not today, but one day he'd do it, he'd explore new worlds on his own and be the strongest, most fearless grown-up there was!
