Okay, this whole running in sand thing was a terrible idea. Artisan's first few strides fell terribly short as he kicked up more sand then he made ground across. It took him a moment to gather how to splay his paws, center himself, and push off without sinking deeper into it. Hanako was pulling ahead with skillful grace and speed and Artisan would have bitched at her had he not needed his lungs for running. Eventually he found his footing and made his way across the track, curving around the corners and inwardly repeating "don't fall in, don't fall in, don't fall in" as the oasis waters nearly touched his toes. He expected the exertion to overheat him, though there was ample shade across the track generously gifted by the towering palm trees scattered around the water. His lungs were burning, his paws angry and feeling the sharp poke of sand like glass between his toes. Still he ran, hoping with his larger size that he could overtake her in at least stamina and cross the crudely drawn finish line before her.

Artisan wears multiple twine bracelets around his forelegs, each one with different colored homemade marble-like beads upon it. Each bead corresponds to a wolf who he has met and decided deserved a place on his wrist, and thus he might ask your character for a lock of fur, etc to add to his creation to remember your character by.

Unless otherwise stated, you can assume he is wearing them at all times.
Artisan's companions are two blue and yellow macaws, their names are Siri(F) and Cisco(M) and while they can be assumed to always be nearby, they're likely out of sight.
