Ambergris

Ambergris is the founder of the Mantodae pack, a strong wolf with stronger opinions. Charismatic but not necessarily logical, Ambergris is an absolute bleeding heart of an idealist, who firmly believes that one can do anything if they simply put their heart to it. They are charismatic, easily swaying wolves to their side, but their pack is not a place that most linger - for even as Ambergris themself is a truly magnetic personality, the wolves around them may not leave packmates feeling the same.

While their will is magnetic enough that those following them will rarely stray, Ambergris relies on their packmates to help guide them to better decisions. As they themself are young and inexperienced, they lean on those older or more intelligent to guide their decisions. Onyx, Diorite, Granite, Tigereye, and Badger are their chief advisors, a collection of wolves that Ambergris trusts as completely as a wolf can. Though Ambergris has the final say, their advisors unpick things that they may not have been able to untangle themself and provide valuable perspective on issues the pack may face.

There are some matters, however, that they will not budge on. Ambergris firmly believes that any wolf can be a good packmate, if simply given the chance. They believe in second chances, and third, fourth, fifth, and sixth. They are not stupid, but they are willing to believe the best of anyone, and that leads to their pack being filled with those that other packs will not allow in - the sickly, the birth-cursed, those with personalities that drive other packs away - and this leads many packmates to go astray, out of superstition, out of disgust for the company kept, out of anything under the sun that could leave a wolf to back out of their pack.

Ambergris does not hold this against them. They find it difficult to hold a grudge against anyone, no matter what they have done, and their anger is so rare some of their packmates believe them to be entirely incapable of being angry in the first place. They try their best to send wolves on their way happy, with full bellies. They are only one leader, and many would consider them a foolish one - but their belief in those around them has earned them the loyalty of many who were not otherwise given a chance.
