Nearly fully wolf in build and shape, Dagr is a man of bright and sunny colors true to his name and a pair of dual-colored eyes almost as if to represent sky and earth. Born with hip dyplasia, Dagr walks with a limp and must use a crutch to help with the pain; as he cannot run or effectively exercise as a result he is noticeably pudgy around his middle and face. Traditionally handsome with a contagious smile, he boasts a masculine figure and wide shoulders, but as he is unconcerned with appearances Dagr can commonly be found with muddy paws, tangled or clumped fur or even a few twigs somewhere in his wild, unkempt pelt. Bright, pudgy and limping, he is rather hard to miss. He wears the chipped and dirty Frithr necklace of Vinátta at all times and uses an old crutch, but has no other scars or markings. He wears a white button-up and denim jacket (reference) and black jeans.

Summary

Sunny, bold, idealistic; a magnetic personality. Painfully likable. Intelligent and occasionally obsessive. Self-motivating, but clumsy and messy. Somewhat socially awkward and prone to fits and verbal tics. Determined to rise above his station. Bit of a hero syndrome with gratitude to many fiction books. Well-read, he enjoys stationary work and is good with his hands. Has big dreams, and refuses to be held back by his disability, though this may come off as naive. Heterosexual and daft to advances. Fears heavy snow and deep water.

Interaction

• Scent: Dirt, pine, Vinátta, Soul, and a heavy resemblance to his Salsolan father in natural scent.

• Quirks, Gestures, Etc.: Always in optime, walks with a crutch. Tendency to obsess. Common to have things stuck in his hair or fur.
• General Posture and Body Language: Completely ignorant to appearances and personal space, Dagr is warm and inviting in body language. He is unable to run or walk unassisted without severe pain.

3.2  Relations

Key Relations

• Palaydrian Soul: Palaydrian was Dagr's world as a youth, and a model for him as an adult. The two have always been close.

• Farina vin Haki: Dagr's mentor and guardian growing up. Passionate yet rough around the edges, Dagr modeled himself after Farina and spent his first couple years ever in her shadow. Farina taught him various survival and social skills, including falcon-training and basic diplomacy. Like Dagr, she grew up in Vinatta and never left; she set off to see the outer world in late 2016, which motivated Dagr by mid-2017 to do the very same.

Positive Relations

• Shiloh Dawnbringer: Oftentimes his babysitter growing up. Like Palaydrian, Shiloh is very patient with him.

• Bran Stormbringer: Dagr's stepfather of sorts and the first father figure in his life. Dagr looks up to Bran and tries to emulate his strength as a pup, often growing frustrated when he can't seem to pull off even the simple things Bran can due to his handicap. He makes for a decent Bran impression, accent and all.

Neutral

• Aedan de Valence: Dagr's father, whom he never met nor heard of.

2014

Thought to be miscarried like his siblings, Dagr is born suddenly to Palaydrian Soul in Vinatta on the final day of 2013. As a pup, he struggles to keep up with his fellows due to his painful hip dysplasia, which he endures as normal. He idolizes the scouting tree of the Vinatta and dreams to become a Vald like his Aor Vald mother, but for obvious reasons this never comes to fruition. Once shifted to two legs, Dagr never shifts back due to the pain involved with his hip disfigurement.

2015-2017

Unable to effectively make himself useful, Dagr plateaus at the common rank of Hollr and spends the next two years following around his protector and mentor, Farina vin Haki, whom he idolizes and whose strength and sincerity he seeks to replicate. He reads often, becoming enamored with fiction texts, heroes, and adventure stories, and helps around his pack where able. Farina, tired of Vinattan pack life and eager to see the outside world, leaves in late 2016. Dagr, realizing himself to be in the same boat, is similarly inspired to see the world, and begins building the skills and resources he needs to survive on his own. With practice, he becomes remarkably skilled in trapping for food, fishing, basic scouting skills, and basic navigation and cartography. In early May of 2017, with the blessings of his friends and family, Dagr sets out north from Vinatta, taking with him Farina's falcon whom she had trained Dagr with, and left for him.

May-June 2017

Dagr sets out on his journey, meandering his way north and west from Vinatta en route to his first stop: Krokar. He tours the sights at his leisure as a loner, and survives off fish and animal traps. Unbeknownst to Dagr, Vinatta disbands shortly after his departure, and some of his family travels past him. Just as June turns to July, Dagr joins Krokar and strikes up a fast friendship with Salome de la Croix.

July 2017

Found often with Salome de la Croix or one of her cats, Dagr explores his new home in Krokar with unyielding excitement, though the amount of water gives him pause due to some phobias. He utilizes Farina's falcon, Niruin, to scout ahead an to make things easier. Dagr meets new packmates, but also reconnects with some ex-Vinattan friends and family... and learns both that Vinatta is no more, and that his half-sister Sannindi, Izrian Firebringer, has gone missing. Near the end of the month, he unexpectedly meets his half-sister and the ghost of his late father.

Threads

August 2017

Dagr continues to assimilate himself into Krokaran culture slowly but surely, and spends most of the month taking in the pack. He finds the amount of water in Krokar both beautiful and exhausting, and continues to struggle with fears of deep water.
