Character Bios (Note: These descriptions may be canon, or not canon, and are formed from my own interpretations of the characters themselves.)

Nava: An old male who once served as leader of his shakily faithful pack, Nava has proven to be a wise and compassionate individual who respects the balance of life, and how one's actions can affect it greatly. He educated Aleu on the ways the Wolves lived, and how not all characters who express unlikable traits have evil intentions, such as Niju. He cares for the survival of his family, and does not hesitate to give second chances, as he sought out Niju to rekindle that bond they have as packmates.

Niju: Niju is a young, fiery wolf with a stubborn mentality. While seemingly negative and unworthy of a leader in nature, Niju wants nothing more than to keep his pack alive. While Nava relies on wisdom and compassion for his guidance, Niju leans more towards instinct and intimidation to enforce balance amongst other wolves. He does not tolerate any threat, such as the arrival of Balto and his daughter, Aleu. He can easily lose sight of what is truly important, though, which as been proven by his actions of rising against Nava's wishes to leave their homeland.

Aleu: Daughter to an once admired hero, Aleu is a spiteful and ignorant young female with a voice that is not afraid to be heard. While seemingly childish in personality and quite naive to the dangers in life, she is determined to find her place in a world where she feels unwanted. She is quick to respond to changes in life, and she can be very emotionally unpredictable. She can be easily influenced by events in her life, such as the introduction to Nava and his packmates which would lead her to her decision to joining the pack later on.

"Brown Wolf": While never officially named, he is shown to be a faithful follower of Nava's leadership. He is quick to defend Nava when Niju ridicules the older wolf's wisdom during a council gathering, and while he sided with the entirety of his pack to follow Niju for survival, he wastes little time agreeing to follow Balto's leadership when the newcomer finally takes up on his role of leading the pack across "Great Water".

White Wolf: A manifestation of Balto's inner wolf, White Wolf comes to Balto during the wolfdog's most desperate time of need. While saying nothing, White Wolf encourages Balto to reclaim his determination needed to allow him to carry out his mission of returning the serum to Nome. Presumably presented as male, White Wolf never officially appears as a real character in the physical world, and is merely a figment of Balto's imagination.

Aniu: Not to be mistaken for White Wolf, Aniu is a deity among wolfkind. She is known by wolves to be wise and fair, and the wolves trust her judgement when those with the ability to meet her reveal her advice, such as Nava. While once believed to be mother to Balto, it is speculated that she may be Mother to all wolves, rather than his mother directly. It is also a curiosity of whether or not she was ever a living wolf. Some say she lived once long ago, and died to become a great spirit. Others say she never existed in the land of the living. She is shown to be compassionate for her "children", as she comes to them in their time of need, such as when Balto was searching for Aleu by the river. It is also theorized that she can shapeshift into other animals.

Cusa: Cusa is a younger, more mischievous counterpart to the great spirit Aniu. A fellow spirit in his own right, Cusa has the ability to shapeshift, and does so most often as a Raven. He aids Aniu in her task in completing Aleu's destiny by leading her to her spirit guide, Muru, and Balto to the other spirits of the totems on his journey to find his daughter. Cusa also confronts Balto as a split trio of wolverines, to strengthen his determination and prepare him for the tasks that lay in wait for him, while Aniu watches on. He is wise, but prefers to provoke action rather than waiting for destiny to take its course.

Edit: I added a few more characters. I really wanted to express my own interpretation of Aniu, vs White Wolf as I believe they are different characters in total. This is just my own interpretation based on ideas from different sources. I know other people have their own opinions on this stuff.
But my reasoning for Cusa was the multiple totems. I noticed that the bear had yellow eyes, while the other animals (aside from the fox) had red eyes, and I like the idea of two different characters as sort of deity beings, so... I dunno.
