Personality ; Protector of the weak is definitely the best tilte for Natsume. He hates when the weak are trampled by the strong. Nothing ticks him off more than bullies who are overly egotistical and straight up full of themselves. He won't stand for it. He loves his friends and family with a passion, and even considers his closest friends to be equal to family.

Background ; When he was just a month old, Natsume lost his mother, Kiime, to a lethal illness. Growing up without a mother, Zasshu was like both a father and mother to him and his brothers, Toshiro and Sojiro. Aleu and her pack invaded the territory, and Natsume helped his father defend the land that was rightfully theirs.

Relation to Balto ; To add to the misfortunes of Kiime (the alpha female) passing away and the famine, Aleu, after becoming the new alpha of Nava's pack and leading them across the great water, moved her pack into Zasshu's territory and began hunting his pack's prey. Some of the wolves in Aleu's pack even began to attack Zasshu and his pack members. Zasshu decided to take Shinso and Markus, his brothers, Rukii, his sister, and Toshiro, Natsume, and Sojiro, his three sons along with him to confront Aleu and a select few of her pack mates and have a meeting. Zasshu gave Aleu two choices - leave his land peacefully with her pack, or he and his pack will fight them for it. Aleu refused to leave, for unknown intentions, and she and Zasshu's pack declared war for the territory. However, Zasshu will not give up his territory for anyone, so Aleu best watch herself.
