Grouse on Wilted Hedge

Info (DO NOT EDIT THIS SECTION)

-Please keep him played with and fed. If you are struggling with this, tell me, I can send some food for him (and extra for other wolves in your pack, as a gift for being responsible with him!) I however tend to go inactive for a bit every few days, in which case I will not see your message.
-You may breed with him! If he is in a pairbond, you may keep him for longer than 7 rollovers (still, pass him on fairly soon).
-There is no limit on how many rollovers you can keep him, but be reasonable.
-You can assign him to do any roles you want.
-You may add decor.
-I reserve the right to recall him if you go inactive for a while.
-Please add lore if you want! This is not mandatory, but I absolutely love reading what you guys write about him!.

The following is only applicable if you intend to breed him: if not, you don't need to read this.
SpoilerOnly pairbond if you are intending on breeding him- otherwise you're shoving him into an unnecessary cooldown that may annoy other people.
If you do pairbond him, don't use this as an excuse to keep him for really long. There is no limit on how many rollovers you can keep him, but be reasonable.
Understand that if you pairbond him, when you break the bond I expect you to play with him enough to keep him from leaving (since breaking pairbonds drops amusement to 0%). If this is impossible for you due to amusement shortage, dm me and I will hopefully help. I however tend to go inactive for a bit every few days, in which case I will not see your message.
Thank you for reading! Sorry it was long.

Grouse's combative nature may have sprung from his natural unease of the world aroudn him. His mother Eclipse struggled to fathom how a pup barely more than a newborn would be so anxious of the world around him- and juxtaposingly his sister Candy Beans was born with a malicious confidence that was equally concerning, but at least she didn't yowl at the sight of every shadow.

This is a patterned behaviour Grouse was able to grow out of eventually, but soon again his world was shaken as his mother passed him off to the pack of his absent father, Kestrel, a wolf he had neer laid eyes on, yet he was expected to admire the tales of his adventuring. no doubt, the stories and glances wolves shared at the mention of his father were enough to awaken a fiery passion for the work of somewolf he was told he imprinted very strongly in personality and demenour. Nonetheless, this fire of fondness left him with a scathing blame for the wolf he seemed to be expected to love, that was nothign more than a concept.

In true wolfy fashion, he grew to love his new pack, and would still visit his mother frequently. As Pirate and Kestrel had been close siblings despite the geographical distances between them, the bond between Grouse and Candy Beans would grow the same, and this began very early on when Grouse realised his sister may be the only constant of his life. Pirate, uncle by relation, assumed a very fatherly bond with the two chidlren of his brother while Kestrel wasn't here. For Grouse, Pirate was the only flavour he was subject to of whatever his biological father may be like. This hope turned out to be true, when Kestrel was finally able to return home when his children were little more than puppies, now adolescents.

Grouse's reserved nature as a result of the inconsistent turmoil of his childhood wasn't reversed, however he was overjoyed to see his father become everything he had hoped for. Pirate was still just as close emotionally to him, and he loved his kin dearly. Some feelings of betrayal began to dissipate, however at this point a sense of yearning for change and adventure had begun to grow in Grouse, and in a cruel irony, the very thing he was terrified of as a pup now enticed him.

And so, he decided to embark on a continuation of his father's legacy- very much shaped into his own, as his blood relation and furious blood encouragement turned him to the winds, much as his father had, all those summers ago.

Grouse's first adventure was rather uneventful and he trudged home in biting winter, flakes dancing around him in a demonstration of consolation. Well, he felt rejuvenated knowing that in his youth, he had the gift of experimental freedom. eventually, upon arriving at the mountain grove where Alsace lived, he was surprised to seen in stirrings in the camp, flakes snow-kissing the roofs of caves and tunnels in an agreed silence. Grouse tasted panic in the back of his throat. Plunging down through the scarlet-smoke as the sun set, yeilding behind the wrath of snow, Blizzard, a newborn when Grouse had left but an adolescent now, jumped out into his path, jaws parted, tail performing a scooping motion in the Alsacian code of "stay silent". Dropping the code, he muttered with the polite courtesy adressing a traveler, "We welcome you. Follow me."

Kestrel, Grouse's father, had died the previous sunrise to his arrival. Though his packmates were keen to see him and displayed an excited exasparation that his return was so conincidentally timed well, it was obvious they were all grieving; witht he exception of some younger pups like Blizzard who were restless but understanding, and bored with their vigils.

Grouse, though grieved, recovered quickly and re-embarked on his travels soon after. He had nothing to stay in Alsace for.
