A P P E A R A N C E

Height: 30"
Average for a Red wolf is 26

Weight: 70 lbs
Average for a Female Red Wolf is 40-75

Body Type: Vix is rangy and scraggly looking, especially under his mess of a pelt. If there was ever a wolf built to walk long distances, it was Vix. He hardly weighs anything despite being one of the tallest red wolves he knows. Most of his muscle is in his legs and his fat is on his stomach. If it weren't for his pouching stomach, he'd have a decent tuck. He tends to have some sleep bags under his eyes

Scars: One long, large one accompanied by a smaller on his right shoulder. Two on his left eye. Two that wrap around his left hock. A bite out of his left ear.

Scent: Whatever he decided to roll around in that day, probably garlic

P E R S O N A L I T YPersonality type: ESTP-T

Passionate - heart-filled; head-strong
Vix is lead by his heart, but often his head comes in the way of caring about what others think of what he is doing. If he has a goal he will go for it whole-heartedly regardless of what anyone else says. He is passionate about his close friends in that he is extremely loyal to them and will often go to great lengths to help them achieve their goals as well. It's hard to change his mind, but if you do so, he is likely to achieve any task you'd like him to complete. Determination is a strong suit for Vix. Good luck discouraging him.

Flexible - willing to compromise; adaptable
Despite his hardheadedness and unwillingness to change his thoughts, it is not uncommon for his actions to be changed by others. He will occasionally follow blindly if he believes there is something in it for him. He's also extremely adaptable when it comes to environments and ability to learn new tricks. He can also blend into new crowds extremely well. It wouldn't be unheard of for Vix to switch between small groups of loners quite often depending on which he believes will offer him more benefits. The only hindrance to this is if he makes a close friend.

Companionable - friendly; sociable
Vix is extremely easy to make friends with so long as others respect him. He loves socializing and meeting new people. He tries to be easy to get along with, however it's not uncommon for him to make a bad impression fairly quickly because of his loud mouth. It's also fairly often for him to find company in the strangest folks. It's not uncommon for him to follow someone who doesn't necessarily like company and follow them like an obnoxious lost puppy. He really doesn't mean to be annoying, he just likes company!

Boisterous - rough; loud
It's not uncommon for Vix to be too much for some folks. He often talks louder than needed and is known to be a bit rough and touchy with others. He loves a good play fight but be aware that he may give you a few bites that may leave some marks. He often doesn't realize how much power he has in his limbs and will sometimes even be too rough with prey causing quite a mess, that is if he didn't scare off all of the prey in the area by speaking too loudly!

Blundering - heavy-handed; tactless
Don't expect Vic to be gentle with anything valuable or be able to collect herbs without messing up the entire plant. If you need him to do any kind of delicate activity he will need to be babysitted the entire time. He's not good with his clumsy paws or mouth. He probably can't climb anything too well, and he would probably look like a newborn deer if he ever tried to walk on ice. It's not uncommon for him to miss prey opportunities as well just because he'll end up startling it by snapping a twig underfoot or running into a brambly bush.

Brooding - disconsolate; holds grudges
Vic is not known to forgive or forget. Despite all of his loyalty to those close to him, he will not tolerate lying or scheming. He can be particularly aggressive when it comes to those who he has grudges against. A surefire way to make enemies of Vix is to not respect his being a male. If you ever notice that Vix is brooding it's of no help to him or you to try and give him advice or try and comfort him. While not talking about his issues is definitely not the best way to deal with his problems, it's the only way he's ever dealt with them.

Sardonic - sarcastic; cynical
Making a snarky joke or being sarcastic is one of Vix's favorite pastimes. When he does try to be funny it's usually through dark humor, some of which others may find distasteful or even cringe-worthy. If the outlook looks bleak, he's not the one you want to be giving the inspirational speech. While being cynical allows him to vent out any emotions, it may come off as rude to others or make Vix seem more upset than he actually is.

Unruly - animated; disruptive
Vix is not one for serious moments or quiet places. If you're trying to keep the attention, he'll most likely end up being a distraction to others. He's the opposite of a quiet listener. If you need to vent to him, be prepared as Vix will seem as if he's busying himself with other tasks or ignoring you - however don't be put off as he probably is listening. When Vix speaks it's common for him to put emphasis on words through actions.

Likes: Strong, earthy scents [mushrooms, garlic, etc]; company, friends; sleeping in the sun

Dislikes: the cold; treason, disloyalty; heights, climbing, cliffs

Favorites
Season: Summer
Color: Yellow

P R E G R O U P H I S T O R Y

Warning: the following contains transphobic, and manipulative behaviors. I do not agree with or encourage the distasteful actions of Vix's parents.

Pup Life:
It was the usual. Vix was born to two lone wolves trying to start a family of their own. He was named Vixen for his beautiful pelt that reminded them of a red fox. His two siblings also received names related to the beauty of nature - Aspen and River - as nature was the thing his parents valued most. The young family lived among the trees, not terribly deep in the thick forests, but deep enough to be sheltered from the weather and unwanted visitors.

However, this didn't mean that the family didn't receive a stray visiting wolf every once and awhile. His parents were fairly kind, but wary. Their greatest fear was their beloved pups becoming influenced by the strangers' stories which were commonly filled with lies and fake tales. Vix was quick to listen to his parents' warnings, and his siblings followed suit. For Vix's early moons it was quite peaceful. He grew up in strides, quickly surpassing his brother and sister in height. In fact, he wished to grow as tall as his father! His mother was quick to remind him that female wolves usually didn't get so tall. He shrugged this off, being afab wasn't going to stop him from growing!

Juvenile Life:
And what little being afab did to stunt his growth. By the time he reached juvenile age, he was as tall as his father, and his growth spurts didn't seem to want to stop anytime soon. He often accompanied his father and brother, much to the dismay of his mother, whenever they went out to learn the ins and outs of being a wolf. Hunting, fighting, tracking, scouting - these were all things he quickly found enjoyable, no matter how hard or daunting the task was.

As he continued to grow his mother often tried to get him to stay back to learn diplomacy, healing, and skills that one might assign to a mother, but Vix wanted little to do with these domestic tasks. What did his sex have to do with what he ended up doing? His mother explained that nature had simply assigned tasks in these ways. Through the months Vix's mother slowly got through to him. If this is what nature had deemed was right for him, then he would follow in nature's footsteps.
These tasks brought him little enjoyment, and his mother often scolded him for being disruptive, rude, or behaving like a wily male. He couldn't help it. He felt masculine, and while he did not shame his mother and sister for enjoying this activities, as his sister often smiled and took joy in their lessons, he just couldn't bring himself to like them. His mother seemed to care little for Vix's personal desires, only for nature's way.

However, there was one activity he did enjoy. Whenever likable visitors came, he would be allowed to tend to them and sometimes his mother would even allow him the joy of hunting with the visitor so long as he brought something back for the family. A strange visitor came to them. The visitor asked them all to call her Moon. Vix wondered if the only reason his parents allowed her in was because of her name. After all, the moon was one of the greatest influences of nature as it chased the sun from the sky, turning day to night.

Moon spoke little, but whenever she did she seemed to offer guidance to Vix. Her greatest peace of advice is that if trees could change with the seasons and shed their leaves, then why could Vix not shed his given gender and grow into the one that fit him? He returned to his family, carrying an offering of a young doe with Moon. He did not tell his parents right away, but his siblings he spoke to first. Both of them, while confused, seemed to agree with his decision, especially his sister who had seen him struggle these past moons. His brother even pointed out that they'd be fully grown soon enough, and Vix had now grown even taller than his father. Vix agreed that after he was able to go out on his own and was comfortable enough to be on his own should the worst happen, he would speak to his parents.

Young Adult Life:
Only a season passed, leaving spring in the dust as the heat of summer approached. Having caught a young buck for the family with just the help of his brother, he approached his parents and told them of his desire to be referred to as a male. There was silence, and then disgust from his mother. She snarled and put Vix on his back, spitting obscenities in his face and telling him that if he was born a female than that was how nature intended. There was no changing nature.

His father kept quiet, only speaking if Vix's mother asked him if he agreed. His father nodded his head, but he said nothing. In order to mark Vix's becoming a 'fully grown woman', Vix's mother ripped a large gash down the young wolf's shoulder. She wanted it to remind him forever of who he really was, and who nature willed him to be. He pulled away from his mom, the one who once took such care with him when he was so young. Did she not still love him despite his true nature? No. He was a disgrace, an abomination against nature. So he ran.

Tears ran down his cheeks as he left, leaving the forest long behind him. He couldn't live as a woman anymore, he couldn't bear it. It didn't feel right. He was he. He wasn't Vixen, he was Vix. If nature so willed him to be a female then why did it make his mind feel so differently? He traveled for a few weeks, eating little, but enough. He was surprised when he came across Moon again. He quickly learned that her name was in fact Yue. She had lied about her name in order to receive help from his family after learning of their ways and watching them for several days. She had taken note of Vix's distaste and wanted to offer help seeing as one of her mothers had gone through the same when she was young. So he wasn't the only wolf who felt this way. He and Yue traveled for some time, becoming close friends during their travels, but as Yue made her way towards a far off place, Vix knew he did not want to travel so far from his original home despite his growing anger and disgust towards his mother. His siblings had not been so unkind.

Yue and Vix parted ways, and Vix made his way through the land, in search of others.
