Personality: Atka is a wolf who really lives up to his name; He observes his enviroment, and if he spots someone who needs help he immidietally goes to their aid, whether it's a total stranger or someone from their pack. He is a very smart wolf with the ability to see inside you, knowing if you're good or bad and what intensions do you have for him or his close ones. Atka has a taste for adventure, and he loves exploring the lands beoynd the pack's territory, he's athletic and sometimes it's hard for friends to keep up with him. He's known for sometimes acting before thinking, which is why his friend Akiak often has act as his voice of reason, but his heart is definetly in the right place. Atka is a skilled fighter, but only uses his teeth or claws to hunt or to defend himself and the ones he loves, but he does not believe violence is a way to solve things. 

History: Atka was born to the alpha pair of a small pack, in the forests not too far from Nome. He was born with 3 siblings, but all of them died in birth and it weakened his mother so much that she died a few days after his birth. His father was crushed for the death of his mate and the rest of their pups, so he decided he'd give all his love, care and protection to his only son. When Atka grew a little, his father taught him everything he needed to know about surviving in life, how to hunt and defend himself, and took him for long walks in the forests and sometimes they went for a moonlight howl together. Atka had a very warm and close relationship with his father as a pup, and in time he started to grow into a strong and handsome adult wolf. When he had reached adulthood, his father named Atka the main guard of the territory. This made him feel very honoured, that his father would trust him with such responsibilty. One day, however, he spotted a town near the forest, the town of Nome. He couldn't help but wonder what the humans in that town were like, and even tough he'd never left his position as guard, this time curiosity got the best of him. He set out to Nome, but on his way he bumped into a female wolfdog in the forest, a very beautiful wolfdog with a red fur purple bandana around her neck. Atka could smell she was human owned, and couldn't help but wondering what a pet like her was doing all alone in the woods. She snarled at him, and said she was no pet to him, and her fiery spirit quickly impressed Atka. He discovered her name was Kiska, and she was on a journey to find out what it would be like to live in the wilderness, and since he, who was a wolf and had spent his whole life in the woods, Atka agreeded to show her what life in the wild was like. During their journey, Atka and Kiska grew closer and closer, and pretty soon he found himself falling head over heels for the young wolfdog.
