<div class="floatleft">(http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk6/Xxpeppermint_skittlezxX/The Wolves/For Others/B14.1_zpstzysuyqr.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Name :</strong>Mute<br/><strong>Age :</strong>Young Adult<br/><strong>Gender :</strong>Male<br/><strong>Mate :</strong>None<br/><strong>Rank :</strong>Inyanga<br/><strong>Background :</strong>Mute is a foreign wolf from outside of Kiowa Territory who has just graduated from being an outsider of the pack by the time of Renyu's passing. Rumoring to hail from the far northeast, his pelt still carries reminiscent aromas of dark pine and subarctic brisk lichen. Unbeknownst to any living soul but himself, as a pup, Mute was banished from his home territory as an ongoing purge of any wolf carrying the "dark trait" was taking place. Duty bound, but merciful, his parents dismissed him themselves rather than end his life with hopes he would survive and find a way to live. However, what are the chances any infantile animal can survive on it's own in a part of the world where it snows nearly every month? Where nearly two thirds of the year can go by without anymore than half a day of sunlight? Unable to cry out in his woe, Mute had all but lost hope within his first day of exile. That was until a peculiar set of parents happened along his petite shivering frame...these animals would be unlike anything he had ever seen, yet in their own way whether intentional or not, they would ensure his survival during their migration. They showed him how to hunt, make shelter when dens were not available via burrowing, administer self-control when it came to the desire to succumb to violence, and even to recognize invaluable herbs and other valuable plants. Communication was present even if he never could understand what they were saying, and it was not like he could ever ask them. Eventually, Mute's life embraced the cusp of young adulthood, and it was here he felt he could begin his new life on his own. He wanted to try his own mettle against making his own way in the world. There was no desire to return home, because "home" was wherever one's heart resided. The idea of a pack was foreign to him, as he was foreign to the new region his adoptive parents had migrated to. Even despite being unable to say goodbye, his adoptive parents seemed to understand, at least to his level of understanding. So could you imagine Renyu's reaction whilst leading a hunting party to find this dwarfish brute treating a wounded bear with a tooth chewn poultice? Needless to say, the scene was just as outrageous as Renyu's jovial invitation to become a member of his pack. What kind of canine hollowed himself to the treatment of primal animals? Mute would, as he would look into the hearts, actions, and soul torn stories of every other pack member from afar during his graduation from outcast to inyanga.<br/><br/><strong>Personality :</strong>As his name suggests, he is authentically mute and is unable to yip,growl,speak, howl, or utilize his voice box. This leads to interesting means of communication and interaction with others; more so because wherever he grew up before Kiowa, he was not properly socialized. He exhibits behavior not often associated with wolves, leading to speculation that he may have been raised by something other than wolves for a substantial period of time. His stature is dwarfish and petite by every stretch of the word. He is quite small compared to all the other adults of the pack, but average for whatever breed of wolf he represents. Behavior wise, he's affectionate and awkward, unsocial and enigmatic. His most common past time is just staring at other wolves from a respectable distance, often out of earshot. His pensive warm stare and coy ginger smile encourage much speculation to why he spends so much time "staring into the pack" instead of out or around their borders. Like he's staring through you and into your soul. His affectionate features come into play when others choose to interact with him in private even to those bearing the dark trait, usually one on one. Too many too close just seems to force him to bow out with an adieu and he's furtively dismissing himself. In fact, so much staring at his fellow pack mates with so little interaction have apprised him the nickname "Mute the Ghost" or "Spook."<br/><br/><strong>Extras :</strong>Mute exhibits behaviors reminiscent of other forest dwelling animals at times, choosing to burrow instead of inhabiting a den for example, leading to a sort of growing bet of who or what his adoptive parents could have been. As previously mentioned, ever since Mute's discovery of his own curse bearing the "dark trait" he often disciplines himself in solitary settings with the desire to overcome it's vices.<br/><strong>Played By :</strong>Kaizen Kenchi<br/><br/>
