Essentials

River Lark is a coywolf of normal, albeit darker features: Generally speaking, he resembles a coyote with larger, wolf-like proportions. Laid-back and gentle, River does not wear very much clothing (a pair of khaki shorts will usually suffice) but loves bangles and jewelry in an assortment of colors. He enjoys "wearing" nature, especially seasonal features like autumn leaves or summer blossoms, whether that is through weaving grass into bracelets or tucking flowers into his fur. River never appears painfully "hippie" or effeminate; rather, he appears more soft and handsome than anything else.

• Humanization: Moderate. Doesn't mind clothing, nor does he mind "roughing it" and living in a burrow with few possessions. That way, he can up and move somewhere else when he wants to sleep somewhere new.
• Scars: Three on the left side of his muzzle, tearing up his lips.

3.2  Relations

Key Relations

• Saffron Reverie was River's older sister. They were friendly and got along well, but never especially close. Saffron seemed mysterious and aloof, which intimidated River. Her death has left him with a lot of regret for their undeveloped relationship, as well as a growing bloodlust for vengeance that confuses and worries him.

Positive Relations

• Gust Reverie is River's brother and best friend. The two saw eye to eye and could depend on one another, and Gust was not afraid to speak up against River when his drug-indulgent habits got out of line. River hated to split from Gust, but is optimistic their reunion will not be for long and believes it is all for the best.

• Dove Reverie is River's sister and current companion. The two weren't terribly close growing up, and their exchanges now are somewhat awkward, but River and Dove are steadfast in their bond to one another. River is committed to ensuring Dove is kept under control.
• Mint Reverie is River's little sister. He sees her as a sweet little cinnamon bun too good for this world and has always been accidentally patronizing in her exchanges with her, even though he has meant well. River believes Mint just needs time and a few harmless mistakes to come out of her shell. Or more drugs. Probably drugs.

Neutral / Negative

• Mistral de l'Or: River is scared to run into her again—he isn't sure how he'd react if he did.
