Personality:
Ask one who knows Ruffian personally and you shall recieve a completely different reply than one who has only heard rumors or knows him strictly upon acquiantance. An introverted wolf by nature, he mostly keeps to himself, prefering to wait until he is approached before making conversation with an unfamiliar canine. However, he is more outgoing when with his friends, which he has a gift of making quite well.

When it comes to fighting, he has a quick temper, though he will not hestitate to let you know you are getting on his last nerve. Once set on engaging in battle, there is no stopping him- he's learned from the best, fought the best, nearly killed the best. His mindset is one of a warrior and it reflects in nearly every aspect of his personality. Really though, his bark is worse than his bite... in most cases.

Past-life:
History? I hope you do not expect some long epic story, full of monsters and beautiful damsels that needed rescuing, for his tale lacks both. The incident in which his mother died fighting for his life is something that was common in the forests of the mountain slopes. He and the rest of his litter were nearly grown, and lucky they were, for even though there were many hardships to be experienced, his two sisters and he had grown healthy and robust. Of course, they had not been expecting to be separated from their dam so soon.

Out on a hunting expedition, the quaint little family wandered into the territory of a male grizzly bear. He himself had spent the last week or so travelling to the stream in which the salmon made their yearly migration, thus the scents marking the boundaries were faint and went undetected by the mother. Upon the bear's return, he attacked them, enraged that intruders such as four wolves had dared enter his land. The cubs had no idea what was going on, as they had not been exposed to such dangers as before, and they were still far too young to take care of themselves. Their dam was mortally wounded in the struggle that followed, and the bear stayed only long enough to make sure the trespassers paid the price for intruding. The wolves fled the scene to safety. Ruffian's mother was unable to procure sufficient nourishment for her wounded body, much less enough to keep her cubs fed. She died in a matter of days, and soon enough the weakest sister died as well. Ruffian and his remaining sibling mourned their mother and sister, though quickly moved on, attempting to continue on with their lives. This proved a harder fight than they had anticipated, and Ruffian's remaining sister soon gave up, too young and inexperienced to care anymore. He left her the next day, when she refused to budge, and soon he as well began to lose heart, hopelessly lost. Surprisingly, they had travelled far, and Ruffian soon came across the land of Darkwood. He was weak, hungry, though his willpower kept him alive. Vega found him there and took him under her wing, eventually taking him on as her own offspring. He learned much from Vega, as well as others he was introduced to over the coming months. He eventually grew into a fine youth, taking on the responsibility of Alpha Heir at Dark Forest, Vega's pack. He became an honorary member of the Bleeding Glory wolf pack, Vega's sister and his aunt Raja as the alphess. Raja was the one who gave him his first lesson in battling, and he quickly took a liking to it, not favoring the art of hunting as much as others. Eventually Dark Forest was abandoned, his mother taking up a life of loning, wandering between the packs of friends, spending most of her time at Grateful Dead, Ruffian following suit. He grew to love all his friends, and newfound family. Soon though, conflicts and quarreling became more and more common amongst those he lived with and made his home with, and when it did not cease, he left and sought solitude for a long period, a time to live on his own, before he finally returned about a year later. He learned about deaths of loved ones, the rise and fall of power amongst the local wolf packs, became reunited with his family which had even grown in number, and made new friends. And still his history is changing, his family changing, he himself changing.
