And here we are, the winning design of the contest I held back in Feb. Made by . I just simplified and edited a few things, but apart from that he's basically the same. I really like this color-combination.
He is Isa's new hubby, and step-dad to Cin & sibs.

----------------------------------------

Name: Lucan, a.k.a 'Luc'
Gender: Male
Breed: Husky-mix [mostly husky]
Family: Isa [mate], Cinnamon & Mexi [step-daughters], Maddox, Gunnar & Armel [step-sons]
Status/Occupation: Companion/house-pet

Appearance: Has heterochromia. One eye is brown while the other is blue with a few brown flecks. His fur is mostly brown, with some grey streaks and markings. Wears a blue collar. His tail doesn't curl; and this plus his sharper featured indicate his mixed bloodlines.

Personality: An ambivert, he has his quiet moments and prefers to simply observe those around him. Though his father was absent from his life, Luc still remembers his mother and her efforts to keep her babies safe. He chooses to block out memories of his siblings because he's afraid of what he might recall. He has struggled with letting down his walls around others. However, his honesty and service-minded attitude brought him into the company of kind dogs who have helped him overcome this, to an extent. His early abandonment has caused him to 'over-compensate' for his parents mistakes, and he doesn't want anyone to suffer alone or in silence. But he often ends up neglecting himself.
Secretly, Luc has attachment anxiety which can cause him to become possessive or overprotective of his loved ones. Usually, he is self-aware enough to control this, but it cracks through during times of prolonged stress.

History: Lucan's mother was a skinny, scruffy mutt with broken speech. She never spoke of who got her pregnant, but the way her eyes stare listlessly at the race-tracks imply that her dead-beat lover might have been a sled-dog. Once the puppies arrived, the street dog was consumed by guilt. She knew that she couldn't provide for them, but had no choice. Then two of four puppies died, and she found herself mourning her dead children alongside their starving siblings.

Despite her distrust of humans, the stray decided to take a gamble on them. She led her two surviving pups into a busy neighborhood. Sneaking onto a property, she dropped her son off at a run down shack and told him that she would be back with food. "Howl if I take too long." she said, and left with a teary-eyed goodbye.

They never came back. Her son howled his lungs out as he was instructed, but was found by human children instead of his mother. It took a day or two of nagging until the father of the family accepted him. Though dismissive at first, the stoic man grew fond of the pup and called him 'Lucan'.

As he grew older, Luc formed a habit of wandering the familiar streets of his nomadic past, trying his best to recall some memories while battling to forget some others. A form of self-torture that he keeps to himself. Though, as secretive as he was, his friends still suspected him of hiding something. Not wanting to lie, he told them the half-truth that he used to walk these same lanes alongside his mother and siblings before getting adopted. He never spoke of the sad memories connected to them though.

It was during one of these somber strolls that he caught a flash of red and turned to see two husky sisters chatting between themselves. The pair were aimlessly through Nome's streets and just happened to cross his path. His eyes met those of the sweetest looking dog he'd ever seen. And when she smiled at him, Luc was almost smitten at first sight.

It would be Holly who eventually both the two skittish doves together though.
