Asher
⋅ ⋅ ── ✩ ── ⋅ ⋅

Found just outside the pack's border, Asher seemed to be a skeleton of a wolf, weak and frail. He was quickly taken back, fed and cared for by the pack's herbalist, Jacana.

In his original pack, Asher had to fight for what little food there was. He often used his strength and agility to take and then run away with the morsels of meat. But when winter arrived, there was almost nothing, and Asher watched his pack starve to death. He himself was starving to death, and the alpha chased him, along with the few other hardly-living wolves, away so that his family could survive.

The Kohana Pack seemed like heaven compared to his old pack, but Asher was still very cautious of the food, and often kept the more-than-plentiful food to himself. Many of the wolves tried to explain he didn't need to be selfish, but Asher was distrusting and continued to guard his food fiercely.

Asher is currently seeking a pack to call his own, although he refuses to join one that doesn't care for their pack members, whether low or high. He's keen on finding one to call his own, however.

It was lunch time, and gathering around a pile of opossum carcasses, a shell-colored adolescent stood protectively over one, guarding his food fiercely. Another pup trotted over, seemingly hopeful to get a bite, and the adolescent snarled, his brown eyes flashing aggressively.

"Asher!" Echeveria snarled, her eyes narrowed. The adolescent looked caught off guard and relented, grumbling and allowing the pup to take a leg before it scampered off. Echeveria drew closer, and began chastising the wolf. "What have we said about sharing? There's plenty food for everyone, not just you."

Asher seemed embarrassed to be scolded like a pup, and he pinned his ears back, glancing down at his paws. "I know, but it's a bad habit."

"Then break it." Echeveria stated tersely. Seeing Asher's hurt look, her face softened. "Look, I understand your past hasn't been kind to you, but I assure you that you will be safe."

Gesturing to you, the she-wolf smiled. "And today we have a guest! They're looking for more members for their pack. I was going to introduce you to them."

Asher's eyes shone keenly. "Well in that case, why didn't you say so?" He pushed the opossum forward. "Here, have a bite!" He offered.

Asher had a rough entry into the pack and was taken under Jolon's wing. Understanding how hard a life he has had, Jolon worked to help Asher feel safe and welcome in the pack. Their relationship started off rocky, with Asher wanting nothing to do with him, and Jolon snapping at him for how he treated others, but they have since grow close, and Asher can be found hanging out with the brothers in most of him free-time.

After the two brothers passed away Asher became closed off, having lost the two he was closest to. Slowly he recovered but he was never quite the same. To honor the brothers who had cared for him, he took their place in the packs council, trying to help others the way the brothers had helped him. He was wary when Skadi and Aerglo reincarnated, however, he trust their judgement, and is loyal to the pack who took him in when nobody else would.
