OOC Name: Cherry
Character Name: Haunt Nightwing
Gender: Trans male (he/him)
Alignment: True Neutral
Appearance: While his siblings retain their mother's appearance in some way, Haunt is the odd one out, potentially- maybe- having taken after his other parent from the second he was born. The only thing he will, appearance wise, take after with his mother is her size. He won't be as big as his mother- she'll always have a few inches on him, height wise- but it'll become clear even when he's a pup that he'll be big. And he will- by the time Haunt is fully grown, he'll rest at a staggering 42 inches, just barely smaller than the biggest wolves.
It's Haunt's fur that will well and truly separate him from his family, especially his mother. He's covered nearly head-to-toe in ivory, save for a cloak of pale blue that covers his head and shoulders and darkens around the top of his back, interrupted by speckled white. Slightly deeper blue stripe-like markings stretch across his frame, fading into nothing like ghosts of markings themselves. The same speckled blue stretches down their front legs, ending in not-quite-stripes just like the ones along his back. He has a deeper blue blaze on his face, as well, and a marking in the same shade of blue extending across each cheek, just under his eyes.
His eyes are just as pale as the rest of him- the icy blue of a barely-frozen lake, only slightly darker than the white fur that covers his body. There's something about Haunt that just seems cold, and his eyes, reflecting the icy colors of his body, do nothing to change that.
Personality: If his appearance weren't enough to inspire Haunt's name, then his personality will more than make up for it.
He's picked up on his mother's quiet nature from the start, being a pup of few words- eerily quiet, preferring to watch while the rest of his siblings are out doing what they do best. Getting him to actually say anything will be like pulling teeth, especially if he has nothing to add; as it is, he'll border on voluntarily selectively mute at best, especially around those he doesn't know. Even Haunt's siblings, his mother, will have trouble getting him to say much at all.
While he does care, actions speak louder than words for Haunt, and as an adult it will be something he sticks by. To those that have somehow wormed their way into his heart, Haunt just follows, taking it upon himself to be a silent guardian of sorts. He's quick to step in should something happen, and as he grows, he'll pick up on the fact that his size and silent nature alone can be intimidating to some. He won't be afraid to use it, especially to defend those he cares about. In the same length, however, he doesn't like being touched- it'll start when he shies away from affection as a pup, and continue all into his adult life.
Haunt is, by nature, a wanderer; he loves his family, and would at least think about staying with them if asked, but at the end of the day his heart will belong to the unknown. It's a hard conflict, and, in order to mitigate any guilt he may feel, he won't be above bringing back gifts he finds along his journeys. A sign, even if a small one, that even if he's gone he's still thinking of and still loves his family.
His relationship with Widow, especially as he gets older, will become strained- as a pup, he'll pick up on her refusal to trust others and make it a part of himself as well, being a complete mama's boy and almost in every step under her paws. As he grows up, he won't learn to trust as easily- it's more that he'll realize how overprotective she is, and quietly rebel against that in any way he can, possibly even trying to include his siblings to as well. He loves her, he really does, but the idea of being trapped under her watchful gaze for the rest of his life will terrify him.
Skills: Navigation and Intellect
Plans: Mostly go with the flow and see what drama happens, especially with Insomnia being as chaotic as it is. He will, upon becoming a year of age, leave Insomnia, at least temporarily; depending on if it's there later on, he may or may not come back. Regardless, he will at least try to visit, even if he ends up more of the wanderer type. I'd also def love for him to meet a Klein, especially one aligned with Recluse! He probably won't trust them, but learning that they exist at all would likely be fun to play with.
