Lichen

Lichen was born sickly and weak in the midst of winter, his mother had little hope for his survival which caused her to pay much more attention to his siblings. With an immense stroke of luck he survived, but with his siblings leaving the pack soon after weaning and his mother having no interest in him, life was bound to be difficult. Every waking moment of his puphood and adolescence was spent fighting for survival. He had to supply himself with his own food, shelter, and had to battle the other unwanted pups for everything he owned. Through hard work and determination he managed to earn the rank of subordinate in early adulthood, which made life significantly easier. On the outside Lichen seems to be a very tough individual but once one breaks down his hard outer shell, he is a sensitive and caring wolf at heart.
