Description
Download for a better view, this thing is really big!Edit-As you can see, I changed the layout of the character sheet so you can see him from both his left and right side. All character sheets will be done exactly like this, so I can easily reference them while drawing my characters. On the far right of the character sheet is what his gemstone looks like from the front, and on the far left are his colors.
Pronunciation-Ze-fur
Species-Grey wolf
Gender-Male
Age-Nineteen (they have human life spans)
Appearance-Silver with a grey-white chest and belly. He has a spiky black hair tuft atop his head, a black stripe running from his head down to the tip of his tail, two forked stripes running off each of his eyes, and two black dashes on each side of his muzzle. These dashes are known as royalty marks and are part of the genetic line of the royal family. All royals are born with these marks, including Zepher’s father, Nero. Zepher has a long, bushy tail, sturdy legs, broad paws, thick black eyebrows, and pale blue eyes. Intense training has given him very pronounced, almost cat-like shoulders that show most when he’s moving, but can be seen no matter what position he’s in. The rest of his body is sleek, and muscled, yet not bulky, making him extremely swift and agile. He has a deep scar on his left shoulder, and most of his many other battle wounds have healed enough that they aren’t visible anymore. He wears a small gold loop earring in his left ear and a blue triangular gemstone in a silver fixture with two spikes on each buttom tip, hanging from a black cloth necklace.
Personality-As a pup he was cheery, sweet, talkative, loved to listen to stories, and liked spending his time wrestling with his father, Nero, and adoptive sister, Alisa. As he grows, though, he is traumatically exposed to the darker side of his soul, and he lives in fear of the demons of his past and the cold side of his heart. Due to this, he rarely smiles, and when he does, it’s usually forced out of him by Alisa making him laugh, which only ever gets on his nerves. He trusts only a small circle of friends, but prefers to stay self-reliant and shrugs away any kind of leadership for fear that he will lead his followers down the wrong road. Injustice is most certainly his biggest pet peeve, the thought of justice not being brought to those who deserve it will eat away at him and turn his frustration to burning rage until he is compelled to serve the justice himself. Although he was born a Prince, the son of the renowned Alphas, Nero and Jade, Zepher did not live a comfortable life for long, and is practiced in an incredible style of fighting which gives him an advantage over most opponents. He’s defensive, but quiet, able to hold his tongue until the right moment, and by then, his attacker won’t know what hit them. He’s a very handsome young male, and turns the heads of most she-wolves, yet he hates to be flirted with. Most are quickly turned off by his anti-social personality, but those who take the time to get to know him will find an incredibly loyal, devoted friend for life. Zepher is plagued by terrible nightmares, but in his soul is a power even he isn’t fully aware of.
So, I said I’d be redoing the style for my comic, Midnight Hearts, and I’ve spent the last few days playing around with everything from extreme realism to an extreme cartoony style. The style hasn’t changed a great deal, but I did fix a few anatomy mistakes and finally got Zepher looking like I wanted him to look. I absolutely love his design, and his character is my pride and joy and technically my ‘fursona’, so I’ve been torturing myself trying to make him look right. This is just a generic pose to give you an idea of his build, because when I drew him sitting down or crouching, he looked too timid and easy-going. Two things I want to address, his blue eyes are not genetic nor naturally given, they are a result of a power within him (can’t tell you too much about that yet) and neither of his parents had blue eyes like this. Also, the pendant he wears does not give him his power, it is merely a symbol of it. If you want to draw him for fan or gift art, that’s fine (in fact, I encourage it) just give me credit for the story and character. He appears as a pup to begin with, but only for a short time. As a pup he was small for his age, but when he reached puberty, he shot up to be a strong, average-sized male grey wolf.

It's triangular, it comes to a point at the center then splits out into three sloped sections. I googled a picture, and this is the closest thing I could find, except the picture has the gemstone flat on the top, and Zepher's is not [link] . It also has two black metal spikes at each buttom tip of the silver fixture it's in.

OOOH, a twist haha. So, he's a prince in a way. That is so creative. There are not many books about wolves, or animal for that instance. I have heard of only a handful of animal books. Art of Running in the Rain, Animal Farm, Old Yeller, Where the Red Fern grows... The world needs more stories about animals

Thanks so much. He's son of the Alpha and later in the story they'll be another pack he's given the oppurtunity to lead.

Well, I had a story about a dog already, but I began to want to have a story with a wolf as the main character, not as a side character. I love silver wolves, though I'm pretty sure they're fairly rare. I wanted to give him black, almost tribal markings and in the process of desiging his physical appearance, his personality became my own until he was my fursona. I love him to death, though I am considering redoing the comic style to make it more realistic since the story is getting a little dark for a cartoon. Thank you so much for the wonderful comment, I love responding to people.
