Phanes is a sarcastic, cynical wolf who was found on the riverbanks in the Coniferous Forest. He considers himself an outcast from the pack despite living amongst them for three years. He is hesitant to trust any wolves aside from Demeter and Selene, whom he still keeps at a comfortable distance. Being a loner doesn't stop him from flirting and going on getaways with various packmates (particularly Selene) and whatever wolves he comes across on his rescouts. To his dismay, his scouting partner has unexpectedly changed to Aphrodite, an irresponsible wolf who he sees as a total airhead. He gives her the cold shoulder, though this hostility is mostly tied to his disappointment about losing Demeter.
