Sava

Sava is currently a Loner and was previously a member of Sapient.

1.  Appearance

Sava is still young but the lean muscle under a dark-colored pelt is already hinting of an endurant and strong type of build. His legs are long and his chest is wide, good for long runs and battering down prey. As he grows his physique would best fit a hunter/warrior even if he is more interested in reading and solving problems.

Hie eyes are a tinted hue of gold and look sharp, awake and intelligent. He has long, usually alert, sharp, pointed ears and an elonged face. Shades of darker brown and gray cover most of his back while the rest is a yellow tan color. He moves with a certainty and has the stance of authority that he has to suppress most of the time.

He carries around a small gray and red bag, that he wears around his neck in all forms. He also carries around torn and ragged jean shorts that he likes to wear when his family isn't around. He's tall and his pelt is thick, he can handle cold easily and was the healthiest pup of his litter.

He has a very humanized optime form and has 5 toes on his feet, with the thumb bigger.

2.  Personality

Sava is a quick learner. In the short time growing up with his traditional-oriented family he has learned to keep his intelligence and curiosity to himself, often running off to look for undiscovered human villages to explore. He has been trying to make sense of the signs drawn in books that he finds, but hasn't come far. His father once saw him trying to read and a vicious fight left him with a few scars and an even bigger obsession with books, that he had come to assossiate as the opposite of his father's blindness and, to a young and smart son, - insanity.

Since he is used to stricter than usual authority chains, even for wolves, he has no problem doing what he is told. He respects and values this system of command and understands why it is needed. As he grows however his ideas will evolve and form into life principles that he will follow through and live, above authority. All of his spiritual 'education' mostly by his aunt is also put to question, even if he still holds a sense of fascination about the supernatural and unexplainable since puphood.

Underneath he is mostly peaceful, avoiding conflict when possible, but standing his ground when confronted. He is not likely to act without thinking, lose his nerve or get angry without a reason for it. A strong inner strive for improvement has pushed him further away from his family and has driven him from his brother. He doesn't talk much not only because he is usually met with misunderstanding and criticism, but also because he will come to realize he prefers not to waste speech, his time and nerve, or anything for that matter.

3.  History

Sava was born to the name Bigpaw, but he once met a traveling old wolf who was riding a horse and carrying a load of goods and books on his back. He tried to ask him questions, but the wolf ignored him for the most part, only giving him strange glances from time to time. Before jumping off the horse and chasing him away the old wolf said his name was Sava, and that curious little pups like him belonged in Sapient and not running around the woods to nag old wolves.

That same day Quickpaw re-named himself Sava(while not telling his family) and planned about going to this place, secretly, as his family and mostly his father were very traditional. They said the human world died for a reason, and that wolves should stay away from their old world's grave, for they might fall into it too. They didn't make use of the leather of their prey, or mustered coats for warmth in the winter like some of their neighboring packs. Their father had even forbidden them to shift into optime form which resulted in Sava shitfing in it only on his own in hiding.

But the brown pup was more curious than that and would sneak off searching for more abandoned human villages to explore. Their lives intrigued him. He found scenes trapped on flat pieces of paper of humans doing all kind of strange things and tried to figure out what they were. What most intrigued him were the books full of signs that he knew were full of information, he just couldn't understand.

Sava's small pack consisting of his parents, aunt and his brother was confronted by a neighboring small pack about territory. Food was scarce this up north as it was and a conflict arose within a month. Sava and his brother were barely big enough to help, and the females advised Sava's father to retreat, but the old male didn't comply. The family retreated to a smaller territory after a short but brutal fight in which their aunt and father were severely injured, with their aunt's injuries possibly crippling her for life.

Sava was the only one who had refused to join the fight and became the target of blame for his whole family. Soon after this he left the family without warning and a goodbye to look for the place Sapient.
