Name: Fornae
Nickname: For
Rank: Pack Member
Pack: Ember Pack
Age: 4 Summers
Appearance: Fornae has a creamy white base color on his long, silky pelt, but this base color is almost entirely covered by a light brown, which is the middle color, covered by the black but covering the white upon his pelt. His tail is crooked at the tip from an old break, and his leg still occasionally pains him - also from an old injury - and his pelt is marred by scars across his side. His eyes are a very faded color, and Fornae himself is not quite sure whether or not they are brown or green or what, to tell the truth. His build is around average - not too burly, or too slender.
Personality: Fornae is a charismatic, charming wolf. He knows what wolves want to hear, and he's good at making other want to listen to what he has to say. He knows what makes wolves tick, and he's not above using it. He has a charming manner, and is good at hiding his darker feelings from others. As any observer might guess, he's quite a flirtatious male. His heart belongs to no one, and he bestows his attentions on every attractive female that walks his way. He typically feels no attraction for these females beyond the physical, though, and he pushes it down and forgets about it. Perhaps because of his gift, Fornae is skilled at reading others. He's good at reading their moods, even without using his gift, and enjoys pushing the buttons of others.
He is most certainly not above manipulating others to get what he wants, though. If he wants something, scruples won't stop him, nor will anything else. If someone tries to stand in his way, Fornae will mow them straight down by finding the things that hurt them the most and using it to hurt them.
Despite the tendency he has to manipulate others, Fornae is kind enough. He will never go out of his way to cause unnecessary pain to others, but he is liable to lose control when in the grips of his power. During those times, he can't control how he acts or what he does, but outside of when the emotions of others take over him, he is not out to hurt others.
History: Fornae's first memory is his mother forcing him to leave her and to guide his siblings to the Frost Pack. Before that, everything is a blur, but he does know a few key things. Number one, his mother was deathly sick when they started out, and only survived as long as she did because she was strong. Fornae tries to live up to her image constantly. Number two, he knows that his father was supposedly killed. Later, Fireheart would make an appearance in their life, but, for then, he was under the impression that the male was dead. Back then, he didn't know what that meant, he just knew he hadn't seen the male for moons when the pups set out. The journey mostly involved walking as far as they could, sleeping, feeding from their mother and setting off again.
And then, they reached the Frost Pack. "Go on." their mother had instructed them, "I will catch up later." She never did, as the siblings had known deep inside. But, all the same, when they finally reached the Frost Pack, they met siblings Firepaw and Sunny. In time, both would try their best with Seshana and Hanala would fall for a male named Tekai, but for then, they were all just friends. Time passed, Fornae matured. The pack was attacked by humans, taking Ripple along with them. Icepelt, one of Fornae's good friends, Shadow, Matsi, and Blackfang journeyed to rescue the female. Icepelt was assumed to be killed, but later returned to the pack, only to discover a deteriorating relationship between Firepaw, who'd grown attached to Seshana and to leadership, and Sunny, the wolf of the chaos fire. But before that, Fornae had been attacked by a male named Shawn, who inflicted the majority of the injuries that mar his pelt.
At this point, his past becomes a tangled tale made up of lies told to others and of lies told to himself. He fell for the female Tipony and told her he didn't care about her. He drove Firepaw away from Seshana as best he could while telling himself that Firepaw was dangerous. The pack was as much in chaos as Fornae was, which was very near impossible. It was around this time that Icepelt first showed up, not revealing herself to him, but he had sensed her mind, so that when she was revealed to the pack, he was not surprised.
Then the humans attacked. The pack was utterly decimated, and many of the wolves fled. Fornae did not, though. Fornae remained there through two of the three summers, 9 of the 12 seasons. Seasons passed and Fornae grew, conversing with every loner that passed his way and flirting with the females that passed his way to direct himself from Tipony.
And time continued to pass. It took a few summers, but Fornae persuaded himself to seek Firepaw out with word of the absence of all packs on the Frost Pack. Gratefully, Firepaw extended Fornae an invitation to his pack, and Fornae accepted it, but left not long after. He was a wolf on a mission, trying to find the wolf named Shadespeaker. He never did find the male, but instead found his daughter, Gingerfang, and after some thought, agreed to guide her to the Cave Pack lands so that she might see where her father had lived.

Power: Fornae can, if needed, read the surface emotions of a wolf's mind. The emotions must be strong (like hatred, rage, etc.) and Fornae rarely uses the weak gift, and it lies dormant in the back of his mind. When he does use it, the anger and emotions of other wolves can make him lose sight of himself and if he lets these emotions rule him, he will act in ways that he doesn't usually act.
