Koa

[Kailolu]

name - Koa
age - 5
gender - Male
build –He doesn’t have very long legs, but has a long body, he has the ability to run a far distance faster. He has a large head with ears that are just a hair larger then a typical grey wolfs ears. His tail tip touches the ground so it’s almost always stained brown with dirt.
coat - Though being a grey wolf, Koa came from a long line of white wolves, each one bigger then the last. His fur is white and a little brown, and at certain angles in the light, it almost looks a creamy yellow color. He has a thick coat, and it troubles him during the summer, causing him to overheat easily, despite it being white.
eyes – Dark brown
Personality - : Koa is a walking contradiction. He’s a skilled hunter, able to keep still and silent for hours upon end. When motivated to hound prey, he can take charge in the blink of an eye and know exactly what to do. During this time, its best to do as your told, as he can suddenly have a short temper. He’s agile, and can’t stand when he sees a wolf slacking off during the hunt. And once the chase is over, no matter the rank he is, he feels he has to eat first. He’d fight for it, and he refuses to back down. But once he’s full, he is the laziest wolf you could come in contact with. He refuses to help with anything and comes up with excuses to sleep. Koa won't allow himself to be forced into anything, so one can’t expect him to help feed pups after a hunt, or bring food to someone who can’t join the pack on a hunt. He’s a very loyal wolf, and a very proud one. When his pride is injured purposefully, he becomes very vengeful, and it’s not a pretty sight.

Koa doesn’t exactly care what one thinks of his attitude or life style, and can come across as careless about the world, but that’s not how it is. He’s a very loyal mate and friend, and a very protective one, and deep down he does take other’s opinions into consideration. He has the tendency to push buttons too often and that can get him in trouble. A very open wolf he is, and wouldn’t mind telling stories of his life to someone he just met. Koa can be incredibly stubborn when he thinks something is right, he believes he’s a know-it-all. There will be times where he will flat out refuse is he thinks his idea is better. He can act a certain way one minute, and the next, a complete opposite. It confuses those who haven’t known him long, but it’s easy to get used to. He can be very relaxing to be around, and he has a strong will. Most, if not all feel very reassured in his presence, even when he’s sleeping. After all, he’s a light sleeper.

magic – Koa has the ability to shift the earth. If no shade is available, he can sprout a bush from the ground to give him shelter. He can uproot trees and make them fall, he can even create a cave type shelter into what once was a normal hill. He can create a sudden gap in the earth that his prey would run into and break its legs, just to give him an easy meal. He’s relied on this his whole life, so if it were taken, he wouldn’t know where to start.
History - Koa should have died. Only nine months old. His own fear should have killed him. It’s impossible to know how he managed to survive without the company of his pack. The stupid, arrogant fool.

Born into a pack of Earth wolves, which is where he got his ability. When Koa was born, he was the strongest of his litter, and his strong body is what saved his life. A small spread of Parvovirus killed his littermates, but for some reason, not he or his only sister was affected by it.

It had killed a few pack members, and the pack quickly moved from the area, able to save the rest of the group. Koa or his sister Lexi were ever told about their dead siblings. Those two were the pack’s only hope, so they were protected at all cost. Though due to this pampering his whole life, it made Koa quite careless about getting his own food, until he got older and started preying upon his poor sister Lexi. The two were inseparable, ‘hunting’ each other day and night. With more practice, Koa started to believe he and his sister could provide food for the pack by their selves.

At five months the two pestered their babysitter to let them join the adults, and of course were told ‘no’. Months of harassing the nanny and their parents went by, and finally the two were taken out when they were a year old. Their parents took a small hunting party, enough to protect the pups, and enough to take down a kill. They started small with a fawn for the youngsters’ first hunt, and Koa showed exceptional promise, throwing himself at the lead and actually being the one to tackle the deer. He was scolded for not listening, but praised on catching it. Weeks of training by the hunters and it was obvious Koa and Lexi were going to be gifted hunters.

Two months later, after they weren’t allowed on hunts due to an injury Koa received from a kick to the face, Koa woke his sister from her nap and prompted her to hunt with him, without the pack. Of course she agreed, as she saw her and her brother as the best hunters. The whole pack slept lazily in the sun on a summer day, and Koa and Lexi snuck away. They used the tracking skills they were taught and followed a well worn game trail. What they thought were deer, were protective elk mothers, guarding their calves. Lexi was aware these weren’t deer and tried to convince Koa to come back with her to the pack, but he fired her up to stay, and she did. They stalked the calves until they were close and honed in on one. Koa gave the signal and they were off.

Lexi sped ahead of him, and Koa instantly realized they had made a mistake. He screamed her name out, now trying to stop his sister from pursuing the calf. Lexi was unaware that the cow was charging in to save her baby. Koa wasn’t fast enough to catch her, and when he called to warn her of the danger, mere yards away, he tripped. His fear caused his magic to flare and he uprooted a near by tree root which caused him to fall. On the ground, unable to do anything, Koa watched his sister be trampled to death, the sight of her blood pooling, splashing across his face, her skull being crushed in. The screams…

Koa ran. Koa ran from his pack, from his life, from his sister. He ran and never looked back. He now lives everyday, knowing it was his fault his sister was dead. The image of the elk’s hoof crushing her skull into nothing, seared into his brain. The screams, something he could never forget. Her death haunts his dreams, and her name makes him weep. He didn’t know what became of his pack, and he didn’t care.

From that day onward, he refused to be within a 2 mile radius of an elk herd. He never eats it, and never looks at them. If it was the only food left on the planet, his for the taking, he would rather starve. His past is what made him the fierce, strong hunter he is. He hunts with such ferocity; it’s in memory his sister. Koa can feel her soul mingling with his on the hunt, and he feels that’s the only way he can connect with her until he joins her in the sky. He roams on his own, not feeling the responsibility to find a mate and start a pack, or join one. He can harness his element fairly well, but it still gets the better of him often.


This is my character from another site, so I didn't have the heart to change his history or personality to make it shorter. My bad X3
