Name: Aloysius "Ferret" Diamáchi
Age: One year, born in Summer
Sex: Male
Appearance:
Aloysius is not nicknamed "Ferret" for nothing, as his image never fails to live up to his title. Narrow limbs support his streamlined body with thin bones faintly visible beneath his sleek coat, giving him an unhealthy and scrawny look to his appearance. His lanky legs will never seem to fill and develop, even as he ages. Because of this, his weight will never fluctuate over sixty pounds, though it is subject to drop throughout the winter months. Overall, he isn't an impressive figure, smaller than most of his species at a height of twenty-three inches. However, he still finds advantages with his lithe size, being suitably built and crafted for speed, swiftness and agility. Though if need be, he isn't afraid to use his body for a more strength-orientated field such as combat.
It's difficult to decide which stormy shade is the most dominant upon his fur, as it appears to be an even mixture of light ebony and foggy grey. The ebony, like soot and coal, envelops his forelegs, rising up to swallow his underside, lower half of each flank, majority of his tail and chest before smoothly spreading over the majority of his head, all not before leaving a vertical strip covering half of each shoulder blade, almost looking like reins upon his pelt. The grey, like ashen stardust, shrouds like a silver cloud over his hind legs, hips, top half of each flank, spine, hackles and the rest of each shoulder blade whilst touching upon the inside and back of his ears, cheek tips and the base of his tail. This misty hue also neatly paints a pointed mask upon his facial features, covering the bridge of his nose, amethyst gaze and a section of his forehead. However, if one is to look carefully, they will notice that a cream colour dabs his chin, outlines his eyes, faintly tips his hind paws and flecks almost unnoticeable strands upon the center of his flanks and the ends of his cheeks, chest and hips. The two main tones blend together quite smoothly to create a shadowy appearance whilst the ivory complements the finer details.
Personality:
Loyal and steadfast - Aloysius would go to great lengths to protect his clan, as he believes that he must repay them in every way possible for raising him under their care. Regardless of the challenge and cause, he is always dependable, willing to risk his life dutifully. With an unwavering loyalty, he'll do whatever it takes, even if his size isn't cut out for it, to keep his family safe.
Social and humorous - In fact, he is a rather chattery character who enjoys the company of others. Occasionally he will seek to be the centre of attention within a conversation, only because he hates being left out from the excitement around him. If a discussion isn't directed for his ears, he'll make sure he knows every bit of gossip by rudely prying himself into the chat. Hence the nosy canine that he is. Over the seasons, he has developed the habit of dramatically exaggerating his stories and adventures to ensure that his audience is left in awe. Because of this, he has grown to be a fine storyteller, or at least, that's what he thinks he is.
Arrogant and apathetic - Sometimes, Aloysius isn't the most pleasant of individuals to talk to, especially with his fowl language. He can be careless at times, quick with his actions though slow when it comes to thinking. Not being able to control his impulses, he can be reckless and stubborn, however, he remains determined that he will soon be able to decide what is right ahead of time.

History:
Aloysius hasn't got much in the way of his history, and would like to keep it that way. Born into a small band of French thieves and bandits, presumably an enemy of the Diamáchi that he would soon encounter though not entirely confirmed, alongside four brothers, he was the runt of the litter. He was the product of a one-night stand, a way for his drunken father to conceive potential warriors for the gang, accompanied with a harlot for a mother. Whilst his brothers were trained as raiders, the ones who would attack the gang's foes when the time came to pillage, at the young age of a season, Aloysius was given the role of a spy and messenger. The position suited him quite well, and in no time was in-action, aiding his gang significantly. That was when the adults began to nickname him "Ferret", and he soon became a reliable and important member. Despite this seemingly proud moment, he was treated brutally with little food and sleep, as each day was practically swallowed in extensive and intense training or missions of wicked thievery. Still being a child, however, there was a time he wandered too far out in the darkest and coldest of nights. Innocent and frightened, he stumbled upon an unfamiliar woman when his skeletal body was on the verge of collapsing. The female took him in, and with the heavenly care that he received, the memories of the gang slipped from his mind. Eventually he grew up to take his foster mother's name, Diamáchi and became a part of the Diamáchi clan, where he still resides to this very day.
Plans: All the threads with everyone, I guess. I haven't got anything big in mind, to be honest, though I hope some future plans will arise as I develop him further.
