Appearance Description: Artorias wears a dark-hued coat of charcoal gray reminiscent of a lighter shade of his mother's that extends to pure black along the top of his head and ears, with a rich dark azure underside and flashes of ashen gray fur. His gray fur extends down his hind legs and over the end of his tail. He has two streaks of gray beneath his eyes and across his upper forelegs. His eyes are like two chunks of amber that seem to glow in the dark like the embers of a fire. Artorias is a larger wolf, standing at 39" at the shoulder with a moderately bulky frame and muscled form, traits he clearly obtained from his unknown father.

Personality: If knightliness could be born, it would be in the form of Artorias. Placing the virtues of loyalty, empathy, and courage at the forefront of his life, Artorias shares a blend of his mothers' ideals: a dislike of mincing words and a guarded view of the world from Resin, and a drive to do good and an altruistic soul from Tamsyn. While it does take him a while to come to trust others, but once you earn his loyalty, Artorias is a fierce ally willing to lay down his life for a righteous cause. Regardless of his desire to do good, Artorias knows that the world is not a kind place and that life is not fair. All is fair in love and war, and no action is too far when it comes to doing what must be done for the greater good.

Artorias is patient, cool, and rational, approaching stressful situations with a calculated approach. He does not like to make split-second judgments, preferring to gather all information he can before making an important decision. Sometimes brooding and moody, Artorias has a more introverted persona, and as such has a hard time opening up about his emotions, preferring to stay quiet and harboring his thoughts and feelings unless he has something he needs to share. In spite of this trait, he possesses a caring heart, especially for his siblings and family, and will sacrifice anything to keep them safe.

Intended plots: Artorias aspires to be a knight like his mothers, dedicated and driven to be a guardian for his family, his pack, and his home. He hopes to live up to the greatness of his parents and wants only to make them proud of him. As he gets older, he may begin to show ambitions of leadership like his mother Resin.
