1. Synopsis
Henry (hen-rEE) Sharpe was born alongside two brothers and one sister to parents Lewis and Eula in a small community of coyotes that had settled within the American Southwest. They grew up in a land of extremes, and a land of little; the scrubby desert and uneven landscape gave precious few resources, but more than enough to support the small settlement, within reason.
Even so, Henry and his siblings learned how to make themselves smaller. While both parents were well-intentioned, Eula was largely passive, and a survivalist, a trait the likes of which extended to the handling of her husband's temper. Lewis was not one to spare the rod, much less when it came to imparting important lessons on his children, though it was an untouched topic within the household. In its own right, these rituals of harm followed by heal provided a learning session themselves: It was easiest to protect the self with concealing, with denial, than to address and unearth the rot of relationships therein; burdening others and disrupting the status quo welcomed misfortune. Every action resulted in reaction, and every wish took something in turn; life was a transmutable stage, and nothing given was not without the risk of taking elsewhere.
Henry, discontent with this knowledge, departed quietly in the dead of night, stowing away on a merchant hawker's cart. He befriended the aging man rather quickly once discovered, offering his help, and proving his resourcefulness time and again. When they finally ventured north, the duo parted ways in Palisade, where the trader felt the boy had the best chances; Henry quickly latched onto one of the recipients of the companion hawks, and she, in turn, humored his peculiarities, vouching for him and garnering him a proper place to stay. He considers this some insurmountable debt, and hasn't left her side to this day, determined to burrow beneath her frigid exterior and bring brevity to her life.
2. Appearance
| Basics |
|
Henry is undeniably coyote in size and bodily shape, with tall ears, and a sharp, fox-like face, however, despite his southern, warm-weather wild counterparts, the dog breeds that muddle his genes have given him a tight corkscrew of a tail, and moderately plush coat with an Irish white collar and a white underbelly. His pattern, otherwise, is a disrupted and very dark agouti accented with a rusty, weathered red. His almond-shaped eyes are cheery and expressive, and the color of blooming sunflowers to match his rather sunny disposition. His optime hair is wavy, two-toned, and his dark bangs frame his face - and he regularly fusses with it to keep the loose curls from his gaze.

3. Personality
| Basics |
|
Summarized: Mischievous, attentive, unflappable |
|
Henry toes the line of passivity and impulsion, but finds himself consistently falling to the former, and tends to let himself be ruled with logic over emotion. He is patient, and isn't one to cave to aggression or pressure, deferring when called for, and acting when needed; it takes great circumstance to push him to divulging temptations. His self-discipline is resolute. However, this is not to say he is not often at the whim of his own emotion. His ability to rule with reason was a hard-won lesson, reinforced with more stick than carrot; While he may be easy to fluster, or push to anger, he rarely acts unless the outcomes of consequence are in his favor. Generally, Henry seeks to please others and diffuse conflict as a result, ever an affable joker or a friendly, reasonable figure to turn to when in trouble. He's thoughtful with his responses, and easy to get along with and exchange banter; as such, he knows a great many people, though does not consider many of them to be close friends, often keeping topics or knowledge revolving himself to a bare minimum and finding difficulty in opening up or expressing vulnerability. Reflexively, humor is very much utilized and brandished as a coping mechanism. While he may have his walls, Henry still very much enjoys other people and their company, and actively seeks out familiar faces in groups. |
