Characteristics

• Personality: Joshua is very immature and playful. He loves having a good laugh and having a few friendly competitions. He's got himself a big mouth and he doesn't really know when to stop talking. Joshua has cheated death a few times, and isn't afraid to say so. He's not the brightest bulb, but he means well anyway. He's a little too trusting, and he easily falls into traps if they're planned well enough.
• Loves: His friends, being outside, friendly races, having fun, and being in a gang.
• Hates: Anything to do with his parents, when others are mean to him, fights, being hurt, and his friends being hurt.
• Talents/ Abilities: Joshua is able to make friends very quickly. He's confident and has a nice smile, and since he's considered an "attractive rogue of the back alleys", he gets quite a fair share of curious attention.
• Weaknesses: Joshua thinks very highly of his friends, and would do about anything for them. He isn't a very good judge of character, and has gotten used a few times for other social links (since he knows quite a few dogs in Nome) and personal favors.
• Dreams: Joshua dreams of eventually leading his "gang".
• Fears: Joshua is afraid of wolves (from all of the terrifying stories that dogs have told) and drowning. He's also afraid of his friends leaving him.

History

• Once, Don and Panda were bred for money. Panda gave birth to a small litter of two, that being Joshua and Robyn. Joshua didn't remember much as a puppy of course, but he knew that his mother didn't like him or his sister. She hated being a mother so young, and being bred only to have puppies wasn't something she was over the moon about. Joshua didn't understand how it was his fault, but fortunately, he was sold off quickly. He went home with a young man who had just turned twenty. He thought Joshua was absolutely adorable, and he couldn't pass it up. Joshua didn't quite have the best care though, as he was often neglected or forgotten about. Joshua's owner let him out a lot, as he thought Joshua could go find food on his own.
• Joshua made quite a few friends in town. He "shared owners" with his friends, meaning he was fed and taken care of by them. He soon realized that he wasn't a house dog. Joshua preferred staying in the alleyways and being with his friends. He occasionally met a few of his half siblings, which he avoided because he thought it made things awkward. Joshua was growing into a handsome young man. Joshua became best friends with one of Kaltag's sons. Joshua and that dog bonded close, and decided that they should start a gang. It really wasn't a big gang though. It was mainly a group of friends who wanted to go cause trouble together by stealing items and burying them, raiding the butcher's shop at night, and stealing girls who already had mates.
• Joshua found himself quite happy with his life and friends, even if some came and went. He ran into his mother once, who claimed to be looking for him to rebuild her family. He brushed her off completely and told her to make better choices in life. Joshua still lives in Nome; causing trouble, dodging bullets, and occasionally sleeping next to fireplaces.

Other

• Trivia: Joshua never desired to meet his father. Joshua had a crush on Kaltag's son.
• Family Tree: Saske Italian Wolf's
• Name Meaning: Biblical/Hebrew/English for "God is my salvation" and "A savior; deliverer"
• Relation to Balto: Best friend is Kaltag's son. His mother is friends with Dusty and father bred with Dusty.
