Name: Kapik (Inuit term meaning 'coffee')
 

Gender: Female
 

Age: A few months younger than Kayiya
 

Personality: Headstrong, judgemental, haughty, brutely honest, and impulsive.
 

How they joined the pack: Whenever she grew to the appropriate age to leave her former pack, she wondered the forests in search of a mate to start her own pack, but instead came across Kayiya's pack. She was a bit unsure if she wanted to join the ranks or continue being a loner, but her mind was made up shortly after she figured wondering would be pointless.
 

How they feel about Kayiya, etc.: She feels as though Kayiya is her role model. She always agrees with that she has to say, even though she can be oblivious to what is actually being said, and thinks that Kayiya is always right.
 

History: Kapik never knew her real parents. When she was born in late summer, she was one of a litter of five. Since this was her mother's first time having kids, she was so inexperienced that eventually the litter dropped down to two pups, Kapik herself and her older brother, Unalaq. Kapik had it rough for the first few days of her life, having little milk from her mother, who had not yet felt the maternal instinct to nurture her young. It wasn't long before a more experienced female wolf took the pups off of Kapik's mother's worries and raised them herself. Life had gone by without anything of interest, other than seeing and hearing the world for the first time. But one night, Kapik's foster mother got caught in a snare, leaving the young Kapik to yet another foster mother, who was the former fostser's step-sister. For about eight months Kapik and her brother lived with their second foster mother, who was named Panik. She learned how to hunt and track during this time, that is until Panik was killed by a poacher while on a hunting trip. Once again, Kapik and Unalaq go into foster care by a wondering couple who were more than happy to care for the brother and sister. It wasn't until Kapik had reached the age of two that she was able to separate from her foster parents and set out to look for another pack to join, or a mate to start her own. This is when she stumbled upon Kayiya's pack.
 

Origin of the character: Kapik was originally going to be in Midnight Fable (my totally revised comic that has yet to be started) as a younger sibling to the lead warrior of the pack, Tonrar, and eventually die from being shot. I still haven't fully made up her purpose or anything, so she's open to anything, really.
 

Relation to Balto: She is a member of Kayiya's pack. Kayiya is sister to Kita, who was killed by Kiona, Balto's daughter.
