Fake Pyrope

Stepfather of Twiningleaf.

This guy was raised in a wildlife rescue facility after a well-meaning but idiotic tourist couple kidnapped him from his den while his pack was away hunting. As the tourists didn't bother to remember where they picked up the puppy beyond a vague general area, and wolves really don't like being anywhere near humans, there was no way for the rescue facility to return the kidnapped pup to his family. Once he reached adulthood, the pup - dubbed "Fake Pyrope" by the facility employees - was released into the wild, where he eventually came across the Garden of the Gods. As for his name, well, it's his, ain't it? And it's not exactly wrong - he does look like his base should be Pyrope. He certainly doesn't look like the blue he is! And, well, if he likes the name, nobody gets to take it from him. So, Fake Pyrope he stays.

And it was here, at the Garden of the Gods, where Fake Pyrope met the kind and beautiful she-wolf that eventually became his mate: Hollowlight. They met when Aleph assigned the older wolf to the other hunting party, and honestly fell head over heels for each other so fast it leaves Fake Pyrope's head spinning. But then, when you know, you know - and Fake Pyrope knows Hollowlight's it for him. Fake Pyrope quickly came to love his step-son Twiningleaf as his own, settling easily into the place of 'dad' for his beloved's little one like he was born to it. For how could he hate something that came from his beautiful bonded?

Fake Pyrope sees the God of Groves coming and splits his prey in half for Aleph to share with them. How sweet!

Aleph sees Fake Pyrope trying to unsuccessfully get a tick off his back. He asks for help, saying he'll check his god over, too!

Babysitting isn't the most peaceful role, but Fake Pyrope says he'll make the best of it and watch the puppies as close as he can.

With a cheerful smile, Fake Pyrope brings his god a gift, placing it carefully in front of Aleph. When Aleph nods in appreciation, Fake Pyrope asks if maybe he has a gift for him, too?
