solstice viking puppies!

Unbeknownst to the boy, he bears a striking resemblance to one of the pups his aunt lost on the road to Boreas. Mostly coated in earthy hues of brown and russet, the most striking rusty colours take up place on his face. Ghoulish markings seem to stretch his grin right up above his striking emerald eyes, the top of his head and ears coated in a dark chocolate. He is lighter over the shoulders and down his front limbs, before his coat darkens toward his hind, a cream dipped tail tip, the only break in almost black of his tail.

He will grow to be XX" tall and take on a runners build, light on his feet and in his frame.

Basically this

Dramatic and Theatrical: Steig approaches life like a grand performance, adding dramatic flair to even the simplest of actions. Whether delivering a punchline or negotiating with a dragon parent, Steig's theatrical presence captivates those around him.

Quick-witted and Clever: Steig will grow to be known for his sharp mind and quick thinking. In the midst of chaos or danger, he can come up with ingenious solutions and clever one-liners that keep the group both entertained and on their toes.

Curious Explorer: Steig's insatiable curiosity often leads any who dare to accompany him into 'uncharted territories' (and by uncharted territories, it's probably actually trespassing on someone else's patch). Whether it's investigating a mysterious cave or deciphering an ancient relic, Steig's thirst for knowledge is as strong as his desire for a good story.

Lover of Puzzles and Riddles: Steig enjoys challenging his mind with puzzles and riddles. He sees each 'quest' (outing) as a grand puzzle waiting to be solved, relishing the intellectual stimulation that comes with deciphering cryptic clues or navigating 'enchanted' mazes... even if sometimes he can be a little dense.

Charismatic Diplomat: Steig likes to think he excels in diplomatic situations, using charm and persuasion to negotiate with both allies and enemies. It's mostly because he is so ridiculous that most quickly write him off as harmless, but he has a way of weaseling himself out of tight spaces in a pinch that at times, seems downright supernatural.

Team Player with a Twist: While Steig values teamwork, he adds a whimsical twist to his collaborations. Unorthodox plans and unexpected detours are not uncommon when Steig is involved. (For a guy with a name that translates to 'One who steps forward', it is surprising how often that step seems to be sideways).

Storyteller at Heart: Steig sees life as a grand narrative, and he takes every opportunity to share tales of his adventures. Whether around a campfire or in a bustling market (watch out Armada).
