Name: Suku

Eye Color: Green
Coat Colour: Suku is mostly a honeydew yellow, with garnet pink spots and freckles littering his body, as well as a bit of pink on the tip of his tail.

Picture:
Personality: Suku has been permanently damaged by his parents' toxic relationship, and to some extent has recreated that relationship with his sister, Suji. He has become overbearing, constantly obsessing over his sister and her safety. Suji doesn't seem to have realized quite yet that Suku's overprotectiveness is more than just typical worry over her condition, and Suku's greatest fear has become that she'll leave him someday. He is determined to make her happy but has a twisted view of what her happiness would really look like, prioritizing quantity of life over quality of life. He can appear aggressive at times to anyone who gets anywhere near his sister, but when he believes she is safe, he can be somewhat friendly, even if he does seem a bit off. He never shuts up about Suji, constantly bragging about her whether she's listening or not, and will go to diabolical measures to keep her safe. Even higher priority than keeping her safe, though, is keeping her with him, and he is constantly paranoid about the possibility of her leaving. In typical social situations, he lacks tact, and it isn't uncommon for him to come across as rude, but one gets the feeling that he doesn't do it intentionally. Thankfully, his sister is usually there to diffuse those situations as she seems to excel at doing. Suku's life revolves around his sister, and without her, he isn't sure he would have an identity left to speak of.
History: Suku's parents always described the way they met as a magical once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. His mother was a lone wolf, his father a member of a pack he'd never really belonged in. His father had been exploring just outside the pack territory. It was farther than he usually went, but something drew him outside the borders that night. It was storming, and he could have barely made out the stark yellow figure in the distance through the rain and wind, her silhouette seeming to glow faintly in the moonlight. Their eyes met, and in that singular moment it felt like sparks flew —
And that's just about as much of the story as young Suku bothered to listen to before he and his sibling began giggling, asking for the real story. They knew that their mother was lying — she was a pathological liar, after all, and if she and their father really were in love, then why had he always spoken to her like she was a bug beneath his feet? Her mother always refused to tell the truth, despite their pleadings, spinning a new story every time they asked. They eventually learned not to ask anymore.
Suku never knew if anything his mother said was true to any certainty, but he could at least assume that these things were true: He and his sister were indeed siblings, and they would have had two sisters, but they were both stillborn. He was born on White Wolf Mountain, although he wasn't sure about his father, who was much less colorful than their mother. He also knew that his mother and his father had a strained relationship, at best, and toxic at worst. His father would go away for long periods of time on 'hunting trips', but he rarely returned with any food for them. Whenever he left, his mother would always look at him like she didnât want him to leave, but she never said anything. When he was present, however, they would constantly yell and growl and fight. It was during those times that Suku saw hate in Sujiâs eyes. It always made his stomach turn; the emotion always looked so strange when it was in her eyes.
Suku had always admired Suji for her unending kindness, a gift she didn't seem to be aware she had. She never hesitated to comfort Suku when he was cowering from their parents' fights, always knowing the right thing to say to make him feel better. He promised himself that he'd return the favor someday.
When his father was there, his mother would often neglect taking care of the pups, spending her time either fighting or making up in a continuous cycle of abuse. It was only when he left that she would do more than make sure they had food and water, and during these times she was a decent mother, even if she often seemed a bit apathetic. She didn't like complaining from her pups, and would often discipline it harshly. As a result, both siblings would often endanger their own health by not telling anyone about their pains and aches. After Suji's immune disorder manifested for the first time when she was around 4 weeks old, this became an almost life-threatening problem for her.
Suji had fallen terribly ill during a time when her father was at the den, suffering from a high fever, fatigue, and a lack of appetite. Suku was the first to notice when she didn't play as vigorously as usual, and he tried to tell their mother, but she was too wrapped up in her fight with their father to bother listening to his pleas. When he finally broke into their fight, his mother huffed with indifference and told him she would be fine if she just got some rest, and that she was probably just tired from whining so much. When she didn't get up to drink her milk, their mother insisted that she would end up whining later when she got hungry and that she wouldn't get any then. Suji was likely too out of it to remember, but Suku pleaded with his mother to do something, anything, for hours. It wasn't until the second day that she refused to drink that his mother realized something was seriously wrong and took her to a friend of the family, a lone wolf with some experience in medicine. They hadn't talked in a long time, but their den was in the same place, and the family friend nursed Suji back to health and told them to be more careful next time. Unfortunately, 'next time' was barely 4 weeks later, and it was at this time that the lone wolf explained Suji's condition.
The amateur healer told the family that while she had never personally seen any wolves with this condition, she had heard tales of wolves who got sick very often, often for the silliest of reasons. She explained how to prevent Suji from getting ill again. His mother, of course, scoffed and said, "I don't need you to tell me how to raise my pups," but Suku absorbed every word, already committed to protecting his sister. He didn't realize it, but he'd begun to idolize Suji and her kindness, determined to be for her what she was for him.
From then on, Suku spent every waking moment of his life tending to Suji, unwilling to leave her side. Out of concern for her safety, he forbade her from talking to stranger wolves who "might be carrying all sorts of nasty sickness!" and insisted that she stay inside the den at all times. Suku knew she snuck out at times, but could never understand why — he only had her best interest at heart, after all! Whenever she disappeared, he'd search for her relentlessly, but he'd rarely find her. For the next several months, the siblings' relationship grew tenser, before finally, Suji exploded at four months old.
Suji told him exactly how she felt about his overprotectiveness, explaining that she wasn't helpless and she wasn't made of glass. He didn't really understand, but he knew enough to know that she would leave if he didn't let her do as she wished more often. Afraid of losing his only sister, he agreed to her demands even though the mere idea of letting her talk to strangers made him sick to his stomach. By this point in life, the only place their mother had in their life was to provide food. Other than that, they were practically independent already.
Their mother seemed all too eager to begin teaching them to hunt at 6 months old, ready to be rid of the sickly sister and her overprotective brother. She started a bit early, in fact, and they were taught at a fast pace. Suku excelled at hunting, but Suji got sick for a whole week sometime during their training. It killed Suku to leave her alone like that, but Suji insisted that he continue and wouldn't take no for an answer. Suji fell behind in their training after that, and never really caught up. However, Suku was more than happy to make up for her failings by hunting for her.
Shortly after Suku finished learning to hunt from their mother, at 7 and a half months old, their mother kicked them out after a fight with their usually-absent father. They decided then that they'd stick together, forever and ever and ever. After all, Suji was Suku's sister, and nothing was ever going to hurt her. For the next several months, they traveled through White Wolf Mountain's unclaimed territories before eventually deciding it was time to join a pack.
Lineage: Suji, his sister, is also played by me. They almost never leave each other's side.
