-- Founder of the Pack of Howling Forest --

Role in the Pack: Alpha; makes sure his pack has the highest possibility to survive, protects the pack from outsiders and other dangers, patrols on the pack's territory, assigns wolves to their roles, keeps peace and harmony in his pack.

Rustpelt is a fair and honest wolf. He is generous and wise male. He never thought to become an alpha, but the others trust and respects him. He has proven to be a great alpha for the pack. He does everything in his might to protect his packmembers and make sure they have a nice way of life. Rustpelt doesn't go and pick a fight, but knows when a fight is worth the risk. Likewise, he knows when to back down from unnessary fight. His pack's health means everything to him.

Rustpelt wasn't born in Deciduous Forest. In fact, he was born a far away behind the mountains in a small wolf pack. His puphood wasn't out of the ordinary, he was a healthy, playful pup, who became one of the pack's hunter when he was old enough. But things changed a bit when he became a fullgrown adult. Some of the pack females started to take notice of him more and enjoyed his comppany more and more. The pack alpha didn't take that as well as the others, because he started see Rustpelt as an rival and didn't like that. He chased Rustpelt away from the pack. Rustpelt accepted his situation and left to find a new place to life.

After a month of roaming without any specific destination, Rustpelt med a wolf. A mysteious black female, named Tala. Tala showed him around and helped him to find a place to start his own pack. At first, Rustpelt was reluctant to start his own pack and become an alpha, but eventually Tala convinced that it was his destiny. That he would make a great alpha for a pack of wolves that needed a leader just like him. Rustpelt accepted and started a Pack of Howling Forest. As he was howling with Tala, a new wolf appeared. The new wolf introtuced herself as Silvergaze. As Tala was making her leave, she said that their meeting was a 'meant to be', with a wink.

Time passed and a few more wolves joined his pack. Silvergaze by his side, things went smoothly. Packmembers did their duties and peace was kept. They had more than enough prey to keep the pack from hunger. It didn't take too much time to Rustpelt to fell in love with his beta Silvergaze, who he worked closely with. She became officially his mate and soon after that Silvergaze started expecting their puppies. She gave birth to their first litter, Hareleap and Greyfur. Rustpelt was very proud of the his mate and their two pups, and was even more determined to be a great father and alpha and keep them safe forever.

Later on, a packmember found two abandoned wolfpups in their territory and bring them back. Rustpelt didn't want them to die and came to agreement with his pack that they would raise the the pups, named Stormcloud and Pebblestep.

Came time when second of his and Silvergaze's first borns, Greyfur, got to an unfortunate accident and lost her life as a young pup. It was devastating moment for Rustpelt and Silvergaze, but also for Greyfur's sister Hareleap. Rustpelt wanted to make sure none of the other pups get any more fatal accidents.
