NORTH The charmer

"The ridge is all I've ever really wanted. Why can't you be happy here, Ryn?"

North, the charming young wolf that saved Ryn's life and taught her how to survive during the frigid mountain winters, lives up to his name. The big-boned and shaggy mountain wolf stands a head above slim Ryn, yet somehow he gives off a nonthreatening aura. He's the type those feel safe around. Maybe that's why he's so different from Ryn, who seems to keep everyone at an arm's length. North has as much a reason as Ryn to be cynical, yet he somehow manages to at the very least appear happy. Sometimes she envies his ability to remain optimistic.

Coming from a deeply spiritual and strict tribe of wolves, North was always an outcast. Being the bastard child of a wolf outside the pack and with his rather mellow demeanor, he was never treated particularly well by anyone. After a wolf belonging to their pack was found dead, the murder was pinned on him. No one particularly liked North, and it was easy to blame him, there was no love lost between him and the wolf found killed. He fled the territory, hardly a year old and running for his life.

And after weeks of traveling, he found Ryn after the first snowfall of the season. The she-wolf, similar in age, was skinny and carried a constant hacking cough. She told tales of devastating fires and lung-burning smoke, it was a wonder she had made it that far from her home. Without any knowledge of how to survive in the mountains she wouldn't make it much longer.

And the rest was history.

Despite her treatment of him after they lost their pups, it's no secret he still harbors feelings for her. North will pretty much do anything for Ryn. Whether that's a good thing or not, time will tell.

Notes:

-need to scry with an albino and a melan girl to see if he carries it by any chance
