Halloween Wolf!

P E R S O N A L I T Y
Strangers tend to mistake him for the leader a lot. Maybe it's the bright orange coat making him stand out, or his personality.
A wolf who's dominant yet gentle. Pumpkin questions pretty much everything to the point it can ignite actual fights. However, he will only draw blood if he's trying to stand up for someone else, and knows when an argument is going too far. At times it may seem like all he does is argue and lecture, but he never does it to poke fun, softens his words if he needs to, and actually cares about everyone (except those who are ignorant to the point of hurting others).
He acts oddly around the topic of death, as if he's trying to hide something. One may think he's scared on first glance, but in truth he's just desensitized to the point he finds death-related biology interesting yet inconvenient, and is afraid of how others would react to that. He's very curious about the afterlife and respects the dead and dying more than anybody. Whatever raised him caused him to be like this.

His whole pack vanished overnight, without a trace.
But for some reason, he didn't search for them, and seldom talks about his life before that moment. The only two things the Outskirts pack has been able to gather is that, 1: his old pack adopted him, and 2: his old pack lived in a marsh beyond the mountains.
So they went to that location. Silhouettes of leafless trees with branches like thunderbolts stuck out amongst the fog. After a little exploring and digging, they found countless wolf skeletons laying at the bottom of the ditch. Except something was off.. these were at least a few decades old.
