Gender: Male (He/Him)
Size/Height/Build Extra-Large, 40", Light
Design:


Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Appearance: Majima exists in an awkward in-between state. Not quite imposing or powerful and not quite delicate or graceful. While growing to be 40 inches tall isn't anything to sneeze at, it won't stack up to the heights seen before in his family. Neither is Majima built like the warriors of the Hattori clan, nor does he particularly embody his grandmother's grace; in fact for the majority of his early life he'll mostly just be tall and gangly. Only seeming to fill out his form close to his second birthday. Then he'll just be a tall, skinny, but not awkwardly so, wolf. Not soft, not delicate, just thin.

When it comes to his pelt however there is no question which family he belongs to. He is swathed in a deep black colour, broken up by some very distinct colours. Splotches of white mark his right foreleg, left hind leg, back, chest, face and most distinctly: In a nearly perfect circle on his forehead much like those of a Tancho Koi. On top of that, both in addition and in a layering sense, Majima carries spots of bright reds, one darker and one lighter with the darker usually being under the lighter colour. They are splattered across his body in places too numerous to list them all, including on his tail which would otherwise simply be black.

Standing out starkly against the distinct colours of his coat Majima's eyes are a bright blue, and rising above his head from just above his brow bones grows a pair of antelope horns, like those often found on cape bushbucks. Both helping to draw the eye to his handsome face.

Personality: Majima wants very badly to earn his father's approval. In his pursuit of that he will mould himself into what he thinks of as the perfect heir. The majority of that will come from emulating his father. While all children are selfish for a time Majima will quickly learn to be selfless, loyal and filled with a sense of duty everything he does will be for the good of the clan, even to his own detriment. Not to a dangerous degree, he will still have a strong sense of self-preservation. While not as unsociable as his father Majima will still be a largely stoic and quiet wolf, he doesn't dislike company he simply doesn't speak much unless he feels the need to. Similarly he won't be a pushover, while he may be convinced to do something for the good of those he's loyal to he's not naive, he's logical and very capable of understanding what the consequences of actions could  be, even from a young age. This comes largely from watching and listening, hto is parents especially.

Majima is proud but maybe not quite on the level of many of his family, he won't take insults laying down but the truth is his pride is largely a projection. Deep down he's desperate for the approval of others he cares about, his parents, and his father in particular, will be the first wolves he will strive to make proud. Unfortunately expressing himself won't be a strong suit, he'll simply work hard and hope that's enough and struggle to handle or process his emotions when, inevitably, he doesn't feel up to snuff. In a sense while he is desperate for his father's approval Majima will likely be closer to his mother as he'll hold on tight to anyone that has helped to fill the need for validation, and those wolves will likely be the only ones who will get to see what's under that nearly expressionless mask. Deep down he is quite soft and capable of tenderness even if it will be rarely seen.

That said he'll never be afraid to get his paws dirty, indeed he's no bleeding heart, nor is he too held up by what might otherwise make more moral wolves object. He won't be volatile but there will be no denying that when violence is called for Majima will be the first to volunteer. He may enjoy it a little too much, nothing unseemly but the wild look he'll get in his eyes will likely be cause for some concern. No worries though, it's just about the only emotional outlet he'll have. Nothing bad about that. But in truth he'll always make sure to retain a modicum of control, it would never do to make his clan look bad.
