Hattori X Kiriko litter

As a note since I am just returning, I would need help in the gems department but I thinnnkkkk it would only be for height? Someone will have to correct me if I'm wrong.


Name: Takeru (warrior/fierce/health)
Gender: male
Size/Height/Build XL - 40" - Medium
Design: Fox 9
Alignment: Chaotic Good

Appearance: Takeru pales in comparison to his parents.  Their vibrant and contrasting color schemes seemed to miss the mark in passing onto him.  In fact, in many ways, Takeru could be seen as average. The colors found within his fur were all as earthy as the dirt under his nails.  He was koi in the splatter of colors that looked as though someone had splashed paint across a canvas however the array of black and greys that dominate his coat blend fairly well and the areas of white only bleed into the mix, dulling the effect that might have should he have been anything other than grey.  He would be very monochromatic if it weren't for the peppering of tawny-orange that blessed his otherwise underwhelming canvas.  It was the color of a red sun reflecting off the bamboo during the golden hour.  The natural color was very muted compared to that of his father.  That aside, his coloration does make for good camouflage, blending into the landscape better than his family.  

His golden eyes convey his even-going nature and his facial features lend him an approachable appearance.  On the size scale, he's up there at a solid 40 inches to the shoulder but no Goliath like his father.  Overall his build is sturdy without being overdone, but all the same, it could still be considered just average.  

Personality: Diplomatic - Realist - Curt - Loyal

Takeru could be seen as a very modest wolf.  Given the impressive bloodlines he descends from it's hard to be overly confident when you're not the tallest or handsomest in the Maze.  Humbled from birth by his mundane appearance, Takeru finds himself not as absorbed into the culture of his family as he should be.  Not that he saw himself as ugly or other, but more so that Taki simply felt average.  He was inadequate alongside his kin. Average, a word that he found to describe his muted koi coloration, his build, and hell sometimes even his temperament.  Yet, he was so much more when he didn't let himself dwell on what he perceived as his shortcomings...

The broody male could be very quiet by nature but passionate and outspoken when called for.  He had a natural diplomacy about him with a clear head and good decision-making skills.  He's realistic and thoughtful.  A natural-born leader, one might say, though he felt himself too average to ever be seen as such by others.  Taki feels passionately about opening the bamboo to trade and good relations with neighbors - for the good of the Tojo-kai!  And to take it a step forward, he is prepared to personally spearhead adventures into unknown territories to build treaties and charter new paths.  Takeru was not one to be fearful or turn down a challenging task.  

When it comes to love and war, Takeru can be seen as an outlier with little vested interest in either.  He will learn how to fight to protect his family, for whom he is intensely loyal, but he has no wish to be some skilled warlord.  And love?  Well, this serious lad has more on his mind than the ladies.  There is no illusion that Taki would ever go willingly looking for love.  He may be approachable and easy to talk to when you can get him to hold a conversation, but he surely is not a flirt.  If love were to sneak up on him, it would be a wonder if he'd even see it before it bit him.  

The clan is his life, even if he desires to wander beyond it and open their borders to friendly visitors.  His mind whirls around diplomatic affairs and ways to improve life for their people.
