Physical Description: 

Build: Io is very thin, and looks underweight at many times even though he is healthy. He is related to those who have smaller, slender builds. He carries longer legs than average, often used with long strides, with small paws. His chest appears small, quickly leading towards his stomach. His hips are average. His ears are small and round. His average tail hangs low. His overall look is one that squeezes into small places where other's can not fit. 

Fur: There is very little fluff on Io. Most of the fur found on him are in his cheeks and tail, and some on the back of his neck. His cheek fur stands upwards and out, not falling against his face. His tail is normal, but it stands out against the rest of his short fur. 

Color: Mostly white and gray, he has black markings and amber eyes. He has a white mask which fades into the rest of his fur. His ears are black with gray insides, which extends like a hood til the base of his neck. His body is white, and his tail is entirely black.


Personality: 

Amiable: Though the entire pack has the outward appearance of being friendly and sweet, Io is one most true to this. He doesn't enjoy conflict and usually does what he thinks will please others. He finds enjoyment from seeing others happy, and even more when he is the cause of their happiness. He's been taught to be warm and kind even when he isn't feeling the best, and it's become a habit that he's developed into his true character. Unless he is truly angry and at his boiling point, the worst he can be is passive aggressive. 

Unselfish: There's only one thing Io loves more than flowers, and it's other wolves. He's used to being around others and finds it comforting to put them before himself. He doesn't think lowly of himself - he is satisfied with who he is. He just believes everyone should be well and happy before he is tended to.

Delicate: Io is 'delicate' in many senses - he is considered feminine in his actions and words, is soft-spoken and soft-hearted, and frail. His voice is soft, and his words are just as gentle. He knows no one in his family with big bones, and none of them are well equipped to fight or defend themselves from an attack. As the only male of his family, he took after his mother and sisters in their grace and careful movements.

Indecisive: Growing up, he never had to make his own decisions: his mother made them for him. He's not used to thinking for himself, and would much rather have someone guiding him through everything. He's slow when deciding anything, and it's not uncommon for him to change his mind quickly after, only to go through the cycle again.

Cowardly: There was no danger when he was growing up, and he had no reason to fear other wolves or even nature itself. When he met others outside of his family, he grew to fear them and run if something were to happen. His first response to violence or confrontation is flight.

Pre-group History:

Born into a group of pagan wanderers, raised by every female in the group, and taught to reflect the beauty and elegance of flowers, Io was the only male of the season. The group believed that nature reflected how it was treated by others: that's why the forests were lush and kind to them as they passed through every spring, which was the same time Io was born. His true family consisted of him and two female siblings, named Apurva and Fen. Corn, a well-known religious contributor of the mini-pack, was their biological mother, while Komang, a newly welcomed outsider, was their father. Due to their strange social structure, Io grew close to all wolves, and never treated his family different than he would a close friend. He grew to treat them all equally and lovingly, as he knew the blossoms to be.

The wanderers, out of all of the plants and wildlife of the forests, waterways, and deserts, focused their ideas on the most beautiful to them: the well-known pollinators. Everything they were taught and believed in their religious circle was based on them. Each wolf, when they were born or joined the group, was given a flower that resembled who they would be in the future. Io was given a unique choice, one that only his mother shared: a cactus flower. Very few had seen an actual bloom from the spiky plant, but all knew of its importance. They thought highly of the small pup, well before he could do much but cry. With this unearned reputation came high expectations and little room for excuses.

They were passing through the desert for another temporary home for the winter, all eyes searching for their next stop. Io and his siblings heard stories of the shells at the beach and everything they could find. With enough asking and puppy-eyed begging, the trio convinced the leaders to take them on a detour, promising they'd return to the planned route quickly afterward. Once they all had arrived at and seen the beautiful land, Io was told to stay behind by his mother. He had been caught trying to take some of the precious shells from the beach, as he thought they were too beautiful to leave alone. He was scolded thoroughly, and was told he would be shunned for the rest of the day for 'harming nature'. As said by his mother, he would take the shells back, place them gently and peacefully, and return to the group when he realized what he had done.

It should have happened soon, but Io spent the entire day before he returned to his family and friends. He was taking all the time in the world and using as little force as possible to place the ornaments down. He was so focused that he never heard or saw another wolf come to the beach, and didn't realize he had never seen the stranger until they spoke. They were much larger than himself in terms of muscle/weight, and also had a pelt that blended more with the environment. Io was questioned curiously: about what was he doing, why was he here, and why was he alone? The young wolf was scared to see the stranger. He didn't know what to do or say, but tried to be as nice as possible. He answered kindly and with as much confidence as he could muster. Maybe if he were to recruit this stranger, his mother would think well of him again.

He found out the wolfs name was Odin, and was instantly more comfortable around his new 'friend'. He found out Odin was part of a pack, which interested Io, as he had never actually interacted with a pack before. He had passed them on his travels but never had a close look at them. Before the smaller was able to ask, he was already invited to see and join this new group. Io agreed excitedly and with a great smile, but his family came back to mind. Would they come looking for him or care? Hopefully so, but he wouldn't know, as he took his chance with Odin. He never heard from his family afterward - there was only a rumor that they were seen leaving the desert. 

History: Io became a nurse shortly after joining the pack. It was the role he always wanted once he heard of the possible roles he could go into.
