Vesu (APPROVED)

Name: Vesu
Gender: Male
Age: 5
Rank: Alpha

Personality: Untrusting, protective and strong, Vesu was a late bloomer. He never really found himself when he was growing up, seeing others instantly shine with personality, but feeling himself left behind. He needed time to grow and discover. Throughout his life he acquired certain skills- watching others, being perceptive of their words and body language. He was always fairly ignored, but never minded, and as a result never became an attention seeker.

Vesu feels hurt deeply, and struggles to recover from loss. He instead covers up this hurt by hardening himself, exposing himself to the roughness of life. In his travels he became a tough fighter, viciously unhappy with being so alone and always felt like he was desperately trying to grab onto a lifeline. He needs family around him to make him strong, he needs someone to live for, but has never been terribly romantic. Suffocated by his sufferings, Vesu became stronger through his ability to cope with the hell of life, and became determined that there must be some way to live in peace.
He took this determination and fed it into becoming an alpha.

Although his older sister had always been the dominant one, Vesu found that as he accepted the Alpha blood running through his veins, he assumed leadership easily. It was the missing ingredient, bringing him out of his shell and giving him the confidence to really be himself. But he still finds it difficult to trust, and has developed a very short temper.

History: Vesu had the perfect beginning to life- a stable pack, his parents Xaka and Lotus the loving Alphas of a large, beautiful land. But he learned quickly that life is not perfect, and things do not stay the same. Lotus became very ill, and bid goodbye to her family so that they would not have to see her deteriorate. His father loved Lotus dearly, but had to let her go. Vesu had an older sister, Bandit, who seemed to take directly after their father, and his little sister Shadow Pad was a dead ringer for their mother. Vesu fell right in the middle, never really knowing who he was supposed to be.

When Xaka assumed a new mate, Quianna, although he did not love her, and it upset Bandit so much that she left. She told Vesu that they would meet every season, so she could check that everything was still okay. Each time she returned, he had only bad news to share- Summer; Shaye's taken Cocoa and half the pack with him and left to the opposite side of the valley, Autumn; Things were going from bad to worse and Xaka was falling for Quianna, Winter; Food shortage was dangerous and Duke and Anevay had taken over, Spring; The pack was being seriously threatened for their lands and Xaka and Quianna had new pups, Summer; There'd been an uprising and Xaka was dead.

When Bandit could not take any more of this, she left completely. Vesu never saw his older sister again, and it saddened him, but he tried to stay and support his family. When Kieriana, his grandmother, died, he found himself spiralling into depression. No one ever really noticed him, but he noticed everything. When an earthquake hit the valley, Vesu was trapped in a den for days before he managed to dig himself out. He found his little sister’s body, and that was enough to send him running. He travelled alone, never really settling, wondering if he’d ever find any family again, when he caught a scent he recognised. He found his cousins, his uncle Blade’s six pups, all alive and well. It gave him faith again, and he became very good friends with Oberi. When the others moved on, they became Alpha and Beta and began to run the pack as it grew healthily.

Physical Description: An odd-looking wolf, Vesu is mostly his father’s black but has a brown ‘helmet’ which runs over his eyes and down his back, developing into a lighter brown running down his back. His eyes are even odder, with one yellow and one red (inherited from his grandmother). He is large, but not a terribly fast mover, instead being steady, stable and definitely able to take a hit without feeling much.
