coat

Pulling from his father's appearance, a large portion of his face, neck, body, and tail are covered in a slightly more muted variation of Naiche's gold, becoming almost a deep blonde. Gray from his mother covers each of his legs and follows the line of his ribs, sharp spikes of gray cutting into the blonde along his sides. The backs of his ears, the bridge of his nose, and up between his eyes to form a point on his forehead is marked in the same gray. White gives his coloring a bright accent, forming a trail down his chest and stomach and biting up into the dark blonde on his sides in between the spikes of gray. Each toe is also dipped in white as well as the tip of his tail. Taking from Aslatiel's lineage once more, white stripes mark the front of each leg in threes, wrapping around the curve of his thigh and shoulder. Inside each of these white stripes is a dash of the same dark golden blonde as before. His vibrant eyes are framed by delicate, angular white markings.

eyes

His eyes stand out in contrast to the rest of his coloring, holding a rich sapphire hue that is striking against a pallet of grays and gold.

physique

Falling in line with the sizes of his lineage, he'll stand at 28" tall once he's fully grown. He'll always fall on the more wiry, slim side of things, putting him into a light build that lends well to running and dodging rather than brute strength.

unique atributes

Small but deadly, Arcturus takes after his mother and sports sharp and lethal feline claws. The fur along his neck and blending down into his scruff is thick and shaggy, forming a thick mane that offers some additional protection around his vulnerable throat. He also inherited the saber fangs that are common in the males of his family, giving even more deadly tools for him to have at his disposal.

scent

Spiced and woody with strong notes of agarwood and pepper.appearance

Spitfire

There's not much that describes Arcturus better than "wild child." He's always looking for mischief and doesn't tend to fully think through his actions before he does them, impulsive to a fault. He wants to be challenged and tested in his fights and hunts to make sure he's the very best at what he does in every regard. It makes him not enjoy quick, easy hunts or spars with wolves that aren't more seasoned than him. When there's a reason for it, he can be incredibly spiteful and vengeful, unwilling to bottle up any rage and instead lashing out at whatever the cause for that rage is. He doesn't have any strong pulls toward what is "right" or "wrong", he just decides from situation to situation what feels right.

Protective

While he does love to roam free and doesn't hold much loyalty to anyone but himself, he'll make one very strong exception for his family. While he does hold some possessiveness and protective tendencies for most of his relatives or wolves he's grown close to, nothing will truly set a fire off in him like something threatening his sister or mother. His immediate family is his and he will hear nothing less. This can sometimes cause him to be over protective, believing that if he's not there to protect them then something horrible will happen to them. It's sometimes hard for him to build real trust and relationships with anyone outside of his immediate family out of the worry that he might get hurt if something were to ever happen to them.

Perfectionist

Arcturus holds himself to an unbelievably high standard. He often puts the weight of the world on his own shoulders and believes that if he doesn't reach the standard he's created for himself then he won't be able to protect the ones he loves. When he falls short of those expectations or something slips away from him that he thinks is his he falls into patterns of self destruction, getting into fights that he'll probably lose or jumping into attacking predators five times his size, almost as if its a punishment for himself while also trying to prove that he can actually handle these larger than life enemies. personality
