Auburn – The Ember of Resolve
There's something grounded about Auburn, even at his young age. With a warm brown coat brushed with subtle undertones of auburn and a thoughtful expression in his stormy grey eyes, he carries himself with a maturity unusual for a pup. While others tumble and bark without a care, Auburn watches, learns, and steps in only when he feels it's needed.
He has a quiet sense of duty—whether it's helping organize moss for bedding or making sure no pup is left behind during playtime, Auburn is there. He's the type to sit beside a nervous friend in silence, offering comfort simply by being present. When asked why he always volunteers first for tasks, he just shrugs and says, "Someone has to."
Mentors whisper that he may become a guardian or herbalist, perhaps even a leader one day. But Auburn isn't focused on titles. He just wants to be someone his pack can rely on—solid, dependable, true.
Val has taken note of his dependable nature, keeping a close eye on him, perhaps seeing in him a spark of the same responsibility she carries.
