Ghostrattle

Son of Redzenious

Ghostpaw was born to Gingersnap and the King of the pack Redzenious; with his father being the King from a very young age Ghostpaw has always felt the straining weight of the crown on his head. He felt like he should have the most attention being the only male heir in the pack but he never had much attention from his father which made him act out. All he ever wants is for his father to pay attention to him, to show him that he even just approved of his existence... Ghostpaw's fur is coarse and dense the only thing that is like his father's beings the red dilution. Redzenious has stated that he isn't even sure that he is the father of this pup since he looks more like his mother and has the opposite color coat than he. His relationship with his only sister still living in the pack was going badly, Bloodhaze was always bullying him.

Even at a young age, Ghostrattle valued power the most. In conversations, he could be sarcastic, secretive, and inconsiderate. Guided by his heart, often rash and emotional or some would say emotionless. His world view is very pessimistic. He is honorable, self-sufficient, excitable, greedy, and tense. Ghostrattle is arrogant, which reflects in her decisions, skills, and conversations. He has a monotonous voice and an oddly pleasant scent clings to him all the time. He isn't completely opposed to having a forbidden relationship...

When he was about to reach adulthood Ghostrattle went to his father in the middle of the pack and asked for a shorter warrior name, that of which is only awarded to warriors who have proven themselves as truly one to be noticed within the ranks. When his father the King didn't respond to him he demanded his attention and a shorter name as his right as his only male heir. Distracted by his greed he didn't see a look harden his father's face and lunge at him throwing him across the clearing and leaving an everlasting scar across his face to remind him to never speak to his father like that again. Only a few tended to his wounds neither of whom was his parents.

After the scuffle with his father Ghostrattle was given the job as a scout, to give him some space from him and to build his skills. He was going to prove to his father by working hard as a scout to gain his place when he was ready to give it to him. Even after everything, Ghostrattle was still a young puppy at heart who only wanted his father's approval and he would honor anything he decided. Traveling out and his skills quickly leveling he caught the eye of Mapleshread, one of the younger adults who had recently entered into the pack, she too was trying to prove herself to the pack. Not to mention his father was going to want to have him to have offspring, his affection for her was more than the other females but he wasn't sure if he loved her... but he wanted his father to be proud of the offspring that he could produce with Mapleshread.

Mapleshread and Ghostrattle didn't stay together long; it was not long after their first breeding that Ghostrattle's aggregation started to show through and Mapleshade's arrogance that drove a wedge between them. He was upset at the quality of their puppies and instead of having a calm head he raged, though it didn't help that all that week Ghostrattle and Redzenious had been butting heading heads since he had taken in more wolves and pups, even a nursing mother in the middle of winter. What was his cold heartless father thinking...? Ghostrattle and Mapleshread had no qualms about ending their bond and can still be seen bickering between each other.

When the time came for him to take over for his father Redzenious, who had passed in his sleep on a boulder overlooking his pack and had mastered the status of scout. He was strong and brave, a King of little words but plenty of dirty looks. By the time he had fully taken the mantle of King he had a new mate, Paleshade, who had just had their first litter. The first thing he did as a new King was to move his pack to the mountains where hunting was a bit easier than it had been in the swamp. Ghostrattle had new plans for the pack than his father, his father's goal was to expand his pack and territories now it was Ghostrattle's turn to train them... He wanted a stronger pack he could always talk to a witch doctor to help them with their looks but strength was earned. He wanted strength and rarer breeds (base).
