Appearance:

Oro is a lightish/darkish wolf with two coats.
His top coat is a very light gray, with hints here and there of dark, like shadows. Under his chin it is much darker, and around his lips. He has majestic ears that sit on top of his well-proportioned head, both points thickly furred.

His under coat his a mix of whites, browns, and light and dark grays. His two coats make him look like a fine wolf, tho a bit scraggly. He keeps himself well-groomed, but he is still gets dirty. A lot. Oro has well defined eyes of such a strange hue of yellow, an electric mustard, that gives any wolf a scare when in the dark; the blackness melts into his fur, turning him invisible. But his eyes glow like lights.

Oro has two fine ears, thickly furred, perched atop his well-proportioned head, a short and bushy tail, and teeth sharper than razors. He has long legs and rough claws that keep him well-balanced at all times.

Personality:

Oro is a majestic wolf, with a personality to match. He braves his fears to keep his pack well, and wouldn't bare being humiliated. He is patient, a good-listener, and kind when needed. Tho fire scares the wits out of him, he will fight it to the lsat breath to keep his family and loved ones safe. Inside he is still a pup, playful and excited, but at the same time he is an elder, wise and knowing. He is very confusing, at times, but you'll understand him, eventually.

Oro is gentle, with a soft-spot in his heart for pups. He loves their joy and enthusiasm, and how they seem to forget the bad so quickly and look forward for the good. He misses being young like them, so he plays with them, and jokes with them, and watches over them with such an intense love it will never break.

Past:

I shifted in my nest, pressing close against my siblings and mother, shying from the hot wind. A solemn howl rang out in the darkness as our Alpha woke the pack. A drought had been ravaging our land for weeks, meaning most of us had to act nocturnal. Liel and I weren't used to sleeping in the burning sun, nor was Lillith, our sister. Our Alpha had taken pity and granted that we sleep in the night, where the heat wasn't so intense.
My mother twitch, letting out a soft sigh. I looked up at her with my large yellow eyes, waiting for her to get up. Liel rolled over sleepily.
“I don't wanna get up...” he murmured. Lillith merely whined in agreement.
But I was already up, and it was apparent that I wouldn't sleep anymore, from all my twisting and turning.I got to my paws, shaking the dust from my fur, and prodded my siblings. They groaned.
My mother slowly stood, sleep still clinging to her like cobwebs. She shook the dull sadness from her eyes and gently nudged my siblings to their paws.

On the move, we went swiftly, heading for the cover of trees. They were the only product of shade we really had. As we left the burning and cracked ground behind us, and stepped onto the cool moss, I gave a small leap, racing forward. Yes, heat still swamped us, but it wasn't as fierce here in the trees. Liel and Lillith danced behind me, each giving their own little howls of excitement, of which I replied.
I skidded to a halt, my nose twitching. I could smell something, something harsh, thick, and smoky... fire!

My siblings didn't detect the danger, flashing past me with laughter in their voices.
“No!” I screamed, taking after them. They didn't listen, and I was being forced to chase them down. “Come back!” I howled, “There's fire!”
My mother must of noticed the scent too, and the sound of crackling branches hummed in our ears. Jexti let out a deafening cry of fear, puonding after my siblings. They started to stop when a branch, alive with licking flames, dropped in front of them. They squealed in fear, and Liel fought for purchase as he tried to turn and come back. But Lillith was frozen to the spot, staring at the fire with wide scared eyes. She was trembling uncontrollably, unable to answer to our cries of worry.
I leaped forward as I caught sight of another burning branch, cracking and ready to fall, just above her head. My jaws clamped around her scruff, my cheek butting her head. Both flew forward, rolling across the first branch.

Lillith howled in pain as we were burned, once again gaining access to her limbs. She scrabble on the dusty ground, howling pitifully for our mother. I could see Liel over the heat waves, cowering against our mother's leg.
“Lillith, follow me!” I ordered over the crackle of flames, trying to duck my head as billows of smoke started to rise off the leaves of the ground.
She jerked towards me, stumbling. “Keep your head down,” I added in her ear. I laid my tail on her shoulder as we made our way through a forest of smoke.

I don't know how it happened to my sister, all I remember is a scream that still gives me nightmares today. It was horrible and blood-chilling, unrecognizable. I whipped around, searching for Lillith. Than I saw her, and my blood ran cold. She was flying blindly through the smoke, her fur on fire. Then I lost her.

I forced myself to follow her, racing out of the smoke. She was dashing through the trees, the awful smell of burnt fur trailing after her. I saw her trip, falling to the ground, writhing in absolute pain. I don't want to even think about what she felt like.
When the fire finally died down, she was already gone.

A wet rain was falling from the sky when I finally found my way back to the spot where I had left my mother and final sibling. They weren't there. I couldn't find them anywhere! As I searched through the wreck left by the fire, I caught sight of a singed tuft of fur left behind on a log, half of the would blackened from flames. I sniffed it: Liel.

I followed his scent trail, stumbling with tears in my eyes over the ashes of the forest. Rain stnug my cheeks as I broke into a run, calling for my family. Then I heard it, a small whimper of fear and sadness. Liel!
I raced up to him. He looked so small, huddling against a log.
“Mother...” he was crying. Half of his fur was burnt, and some patched were missing. I stared into his big brown eyes and knew immediately what happened.
I mouther the word 'no.' I felt paralyzed, just standing their with the sting of loss in my heart. She was gone, a burning log had fallen on her and she had been trapped to die. Just like Lillith, she died with the pain of flames covering her body.

I stumbled up to the log, nudging it with my nose.
“Mother....?” I whispered, believing for once that she would answer. Their was no reply. I made my way around the log, a sob choking me as I saw her blackened tail, and one hind leg, sticking out at awkward angles from the log. When I returned to Liel, he was cold. Dead. He had been burned too much and had inhaled too much smoke. It had been too much for his little body to handle.

My family was gone....
