*Lineart (c) Troll Berserker!*

Name: Takoda ("friend to everyone" in sioux)

Species: Alaskan wolf

Gender: Male

Parents: Cherokee and Ayiana 

Siblings: Denali

Mate: None

Pups: None

Personality: Takoda is very much like his father; He is a calm and reasonable with good judgemental skills, and he thinks before acting. He's a little bit more serious character, while his father and younger brother like to act a bit childish and goof off sometimes but it's not like he doesn't have any sense of humor. Takoda loves his family more than anything and shares a very deep and close bond with his brother, to whom he can always seem a tiny bit too protective. He is very popular among the ladies, but has never cared for the attention too much, he isn't the most romantic guy you'll ever meet and he's more of a loner, enjoying having time for himself and prefers to stay by himself rather than staying with large crouds which can sometimes make seem a little grumpy but basically Takoda is just a typical nice guy.

History: Takoda was the first born son to Cherokee and Ayiana, the alpha pair of a small pack that recidended in the wide forests not far from Nome. His parent's reign reached quite far, and his father used to take him to long walks in the territories when he was a young pup, teaching him all the important things he needed to know about being a good leader, and how to take care of his pack and of course himself. When Takoda was reaching his teens, his mother gave birth to another male pup whom was given the name Denali. Takoda was overwhelmed to have a little brother, and loved him with all his heart. When Denali grew into a young pup, Takoda was already a young adult and the two brothers did everything together and shared both good and bad times. Takoda loved teaching Denali how to fight and hunt, and passed all the wisdom their father had taught him to his brother. Life was pretty good, until when Takoda was all grown up and Denali was a pre-teen he was left to look after his brother while his parents were away. The two brothers ventured towards the rapid river, and Takoda had just turned his head away for a few seconds when Denali had already gone after a rabbit near the river. The younger wolf was just about to catch the rabbit, when his paws slipped on the slippery edge, and he fell in to the river - and of course he couldn't swim. Searching for his brother, Takoda heard Denali's desperate cries and rushed over to the river, lunging into the raging stream with no hesitation. Fighting against the stream, Takoda made his way to Denali who had managed to climb on a small rock. He grabbed the smaller wolf by the scruff of his neck, started swimming onwards and grabbed a hold of a bigger rock, climbed on it and managed to throw Denali to the shore and safety. Denali kept calling for him, telling him to get out of there as well, but, tired from fighting against the stream and seeing it was way too strong for him to fight any longer, Takoda simply looked into his brother's scared and desperate eyes, then he let the river take him, and his final thoughts where that there was no better way to go than giving your life for someone you love.
