Description i've thought about making a second character to DotW. i'm a bit excited for this new pack that for a mini contest. i don't have the time to run for alpha position, otherwise i totally would, so omega will do just fine. the difference in culture between packs would be difficult for her. of course, at first she would have to pretend to believe, but eventually she'll accept it and believe like everyone else. 

so here i have these 4 color palettes for the second character. she doesn't have a name yet either so i'm gunna call her Mute for right now. i'm not sure which one fits her the most, or which one looks the best. i'll write down a bit about her past so maybe that'll help with the decision.

i'll take a vote.

past:
Many miles away from where the four packs of DotW reside, there is a great pack that hunts bears. This pack is known for it's brute strength and lack of mercy. These wolves were bred and taught to hunt down bears without getting hurt like in a cruel sport. Though many of the wolves are great at this sport, there is one wolf who stands out from the rest. Her name is Mute. Mute was like a celebrity among her pack mates and was even known from the surrounding packs. Everyone loved her, all expect one of her litter mates. This litter mate, Brother, was jealous of how much fame Mute received from the pack. Mute even had a line of males that wanted to help pass down her genes. To brother, this should have been his life. Brother got into an accident one morning when the pack was hunting down a bear. A mother bear got a hold of Brother while he was attacking one of her cubs. The mother bear ripped his hind leg and the injury kept him from hunting. At first it was a shame that Brother got injured, but then Mute took his limelight. He hated her ever since.

One morning, just an ordinary morning, the pack was out hunting again. Mute was in the lead and found a male bear fishing by the river. The pack decided that he was going to be their target. The attack was going smoothly and the bear fell down against the wolves. Mute took her position for the final blow, but the bear struck back. He slashed through Mute like butter over her neck. The bear stood up and chased the rest of the wolves away. When the bear finally left Mute's side, her pack darted out to save her. Mute was taken to the medicine wolf and was under his care for many moons. 

Brother snickered at his sister's injury. Finally, she would be just like him. They would leave her and move on to someone else. He was finally happy and believed justice was served, for at least he thought. After many months, Mute began to heal and she was becoming like herself again, expect she lost her voice. The scars around her neck were so deep that she had become mute. At first, this shocked the pack but then they accepted her. Brother was outraged, how dare they take her back. She was injured like him! He needed to do something much worse to get rid of her. 

One day Mute was resting when she heard a yelp. She got up to check out what it was and found herself by the pack den. Her brother saw her and screamed that the pups were in trouble. He went to check and saw blood and smelled fox in the den. He was licking blood of his muzzle as he whined, that the fox got him and he was too weak to help. Mute crawled into the den to fight off the fox, but she didn't smell fox nor see one. When she reached the edge where the pups were held, she found them all dead. In shock, she turned back to find Brother but he had he cornered her. He told her how much he hated her. How much he couldn't stand how much better she was than him. Mute couldn't do anything, but listen to him spill his true feelings. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She had looked up to him, he was her hero. She was only this good because she wanted to show her brother she could be like him. How could he hate her so much? 

Brother attacked Mute and ripped part of her tail off. He had hit her so hard that her head hit a rock and knocked her out. When she woke up, she crawled out of the den to find that night had fallen. She could hear her pack mates growl in anger at her, cussing her name to dirt. Brother told everyone that it was her fault. Mute darted off and ran as fast as she could to the edge of the territory. She could hear the whole pack chase her down, their anger seemed to light the forest afire. Mute finally escaped the boarder, but she kept running and running. Nothing felt safe to her, not until she was many miles away from her pack. 

A season has passed and Mute was still a loner, an exile. Gossip had spread like wildfire that she was a pup killer. No one would allow her to join their pack. She needed to find a pack that has never heard of her. A pack that has no idea who she is. After many more miles, Mute finally found someone who didn't know who she was.

 I like #4 and I think she'll be quite the interesting character. How to RP a mute a character seems like a challenge.

While I like 2 the best, I feel like 4 would suit best for the kind of character you are describing.

1 and 3 give off the idea of "high position, strong" while 2 gives a more "medium" rank feel. At least to me, but I tend to overanalyze colors x3

Hmm okay. I see what you're talking about. I doubt she'll be made a high ranking position, at least not for a while.

Do you think maybe lighter colors for number 2 would look better? Trying to mix 2 an 4 together.

Lighter colors for 2 would look perfect I think! x3
