Plant survivors of the Dark Cities
These are the survivors of the dark cities that are now part of the "Ghost pup" pack. They are the survivors of the Plant specie among the cities that were brutally slaughtered by the Shadow and Hero Clans. Kane his pack counts 8 Plant wolves.
Well known as healers, teachers and merchants, these wolves were among the kindest around. Plant wolves in general tend to be very social, easy going and sweet. This was the reason alone that they eventually became such easy targets for the Shadow Clans. These wolves lived spread out in smaller packs nearby the bigger cities of the Dark cities. this was mostly due to protection, as the bigger packs would protect them if any issues were to happen. They would typically focus on trading and teaching young wolves, even wolves that weren't part of their pack. They used all sorts of herbs to heal and help wolves as they would grow their own stock of plants and herbs. Another small detail they loved, was to decorate their den, using plants and flowers even offering this to other dark cities. When the attacks took place, they sadly gained no help from neighboring packs as they did not realize that the attacks all took place around the same time. Leaving packs with their paws full not being able to help them. Every pack within the dark cities, had one large den that they would wait in till help would arrive, but as help didn't come, they were trapped in what was their safe hideout. The Shadow clans had send a team of Fire wolves accompanied by Shadow wolves to take down these smaller packs. As plant wolves are known to catch fire if directly hit...the area soon become a nightmare of screams of terror. Being trapped all the enemy had to do was put the den on fire. Those fleeing and running out were captured or killed on sight. The youngest pups were easily captured while the oldest were easily killed. The young pups were all taken with. Soon plant pups could see others of a different pack as the group of the attackers merged. As all 12 of them were transported though, the night was their savior. During the night the attackers ran straight into a wolf bird which had shifted. Being notorious for attacking the pups took the chance to run away from the commotion. In the end 8 made it out alive and stuck together as a close group. In the end, they managed to meet up with Kane and become part of his pack. Within the ghosts pups, these youngsters despite the traumatic events, remained cheerful and happy. They do their best to support other wolves and heal them. Even though many have began practicing fighting as they no longer want to feel as vulnerable as they did that day. They do refuse to torture though, as the practice alone scares them a tad. They do get training from the forester wolves within the pack, as they are far more into fighting than they ever were.
Within the slave camps about 12 survivors remain. Generous from nature, the majority did keep their kind nature. Preferring to talks things out and find a solution rather than violence. Though most are gentle, a few among them have taken a turn for the worse, while supporting their own group of plant wolves some have chosen to steal or pick fights with other survivors. Some believe it's the buildup from the slave camp attacks that caused this sudden change in them. It didn't help that the guards would pick on the more vulnerable survivors of this species angering the more aggressive ones. They are used equally as much as the forester wolves for work, because of this most are in somewhat a good shape. Meaning that serious damage isn't dealt to them to ensure they can work. Some individuals among the other survivors still blame the other packs for not protecting them. As if they refuse to believe the attacks happened at the same time.

Tenan ZoruTenan is a calm, peaceful wolf, maintaining an optimistic output toward even the most devastating of events. She was raised to keep a high spirit, no matter what pain and devastation would fall upon her, and that’s what she set out to do the moment she and her Plant wolf companions arrived at Kane’s pack. From a young age, Tenan has always expressed a fondness and curiosity toward animals, refusing to eat meat as a result. She would only eat berries and other fruits to satisfy her hunger and would only eat meat if absolutely mandatory. After the events of her pack’s mass annihilation, she grew a fondness for wolf birds after the single wolf bird rescued the surviving Plant wolves, howling after the birds whenever she spots one. Tenan is known for being heavily against the use of violence and prefers situations to be handled with words rather than fights. She doesn’t like watching anyone in pain, be it a pack-mate or one of her tormentors. She believes everyone deserves a second chance, no matter the bad deeds they have done. Because of this, she was granted the position of group leader of the Plant wolves. During her free time, Tenan likes to help assist the Light wolves in the garden and tend to the plants.

Hagen SuzuranAs a pup Hagen was carefree and playful. He loved being around his sister Riri as they spend quite some time together goofing around. As the attacks took place, Hagen too like his sister got captured even though he did all he could to protect her. Losing part of his ear and receiving a scar in the process. As the night came and a Wolf bird attack took place, Hagen managed to escape with the others. As all the pups were scared, a pup named Tenan tried to lead everyone, as Hagen saw it was difficult he assisted her. In the end when both became part of Kane his pack, the other plant wolves viewed them as role models of the plant wolves. So Hagen became a group commander of the plant wolves assisting their group leader. He changed quite a lot, becoming silent and calm. But he's extremely loyal and he will always make some time for his sister Riri.

Riri SuzuranRiri as a pup was a very kind and sweet one, she was always near her sibling Hagen. For not being symbolized she was called beautiful more than once, as many believed she would grow older gaining only more beautiful fur. Riri wasn't vein but she did like to make herself look at her best. She did feel conflicted of not being symbolized but her parents granted her a charm to make up for that, which she treasures more than anything. She loves decorating, and any den seen by her, she would not be able to resist decorating it. As the attacks took place, her parents did everything they could to protect their children, her mother gave her charm to Riri telling her to run, but sadly she and Hagen got captured. Luckily due to the wolf bird incident, she escaped together with her sibling and some others. When Kane found them and they became part of the pack, Riri felt great, things were starting to look better. In the pack she isn't a fan of the torturers, she doesn't hate them, she just dislikes torture even if it's to an enemy. She avoids combat and plays more a supportive role, as she seems to have a unique ability that allows her to sniff even through scent changes. She looks up at Sonoke, as she aided her through a healing process, due to this she will often groom Sonoke being a bit envious of her relation with Kane.

Tonto KasuiTonto as a pup was one clumsy little guy, something that hasn't changed about him. As a pup he had quite a hard time focusing on his lessons, rather playing around and socializing with the other pups. When the attacks took place on his pack, his mother did all she could trying to defend him. In the end she got burned alive as Tonto had to watch. Tonto was traumatized like the other pups, and taken with. As they were out on their way to the slave camps, A wolf bird attacked using it's sharp beak straight at Tonto's neck, luckily the Wolf bird let go as it was assaulted by the fire wolves trying to kill it. In that time Tonto and the others ran of escaping the fire wolves. At the pack he got back to his cheerful self, but wants to train in combat more than anything. Being quite clumsy he is good at scouting using scents very well. Because of this he was granted a "Scout" role. Though he tends to trip on stones here and there.

Lakai LuLakai has always been a sweet but skittish pup, with the dreams of becoming a healer. Her parents were very talented in the art of healing, as they knew about any type of plant and even created hybrids among them. In the end it gave Lakai the opportunity to learn a lot more about herbs than most pups her age. During the attacks she as well got captured and stayed near Tenan looking up at her. As the incident of a wolf bird attack took place, they managed to escape the fire wolves that had captured them. Upon becoming part of Kane his pack, Lakai needed some serious help in getting back to her old self. In the end she finally opened up still looking mostly at Tenan for guidance. Within their area in the underground sanctuary of the Ghost pups, she used underground roots to make a small pond, were she grows herbs and practices her healing skills.

Ringa ShikemoaRinga lived a happy life with her parents and sister. Her mother was a healer while her father was more skilled at hunting. It was her father's footsteps she had always wanted to follow in. Every day she would practice hunting, usually pouncing on and stalking insects or very small mammals. On her fifth birthday she was given her leaf earrings as a gift from her mother. It was just a few days after that the Shadow Clans attacked. Ringa and her sister were taken prisoner by the Fire wolves with a couple of other young pups. As the wolf bird attacked she managed to escape but her sister had died during the incident. She and 7 others got out, but she had a hard time accepting the fact that her sister died by the attack. When their small pack became part of Kane his pack, she too needed a lot of help getting over the traumatic event she had to see. In time she didn't want to do nothing, as her eagerness to hunt was still there, she offered to be a hunter, at first due to her size, only small critters, but as she became above 10 years old, she joined hunts on larger animals.

Haluk NeophytosHaluk was born to healer parents, and was the only pup out of his litter of 3 to feature any markings. From a young age he was being taught to be a healer by his parents, right along with his brother and sister. When the attack on the pack took place, he hid in the den with his family until the shadow clan wolves got to them. When the fire wolves that were allied with the shadow clans started setting everything ablaze, Haluk and his family tried to escape, along with many others. His parents didn't make it far before they were set ablaze and killed in front of their children. While Haluk and his siblings continued to run they got pushed into a burning bush. The flames killed his brother and badly injured his sister, while he got very bad burns on his back leg. While lying there in fear, grief, and pain, Haluk and his sister were captured. When their captors ran into a transformed wolf bird Haluk took the chance to try and escape, with his sister attempting to follow. While they both managed to escape, Haluk's sister didn't manage to make it very far due to her injuries and she died. With the help of the others he managed to make it and meet up with Kane. His wounds on his leg were treated as much as possible, but he now has large scars and slight trouble walking and now walks with a limp, as some nerves and muscles in his leg were badly damaged.

Azalea JonaAzalea is one of the youngest members of the group, and one of the most naive. She is curious and playful, and every day she has a new crush on different male member of the Ghost Pups, with the exception of the ones who enjoy the tortures. She finds torture of any sort to be cruel and inhumane, and often tries to sneak in and heal any prisoners that are being held. She's gotten into trouble with the Kane more than once over this, but she continues to believe that it's wrong to put anyone through torture. Her mother was a healer and she learned some basic healing moves. She could only heal scrapes and bites, but it made her proud to be able to help her friends and family. Even the smallest drop of blood, and she would come to help. Before the attack on her pack, she was assisting her older brother in gathering berries when they heard screams coming from their dens. Panicked, he told her to hide in the bushes, and then ran back to help his pack, but Azalea foolishly followed after him. He was set ablaze the moment he was spotted, and Azalea stood, frozen with terror as she watched her brother burn alive, not noticing the Fire Wolf looming above her. She was suddenly snatched up and carried off with several other pups around her age. Luckily, the attack of the Wolfbird gave the them opportunity to escape, and she fled with her fellow survivors into the night.

Plant survivors within the Slave Camps
Veasna MireilleBorn to healers, Vaesna quickly took after his parents and just as eagerly wanted to follow in their pawprints. He looked up to his sister as he was a bit of a sensitive pup compared to his much more confident sibling. If he had any problem he would always turn to her, avoiding conflict at all times. When the attacks took place, they managed to sneak out but where caught up on rather easily. Before his eyes his sibling was blasted into the river, damaged and burned as she drowned. His parents desperately tried to defend their only remaining pup but with little success. As his parents were burned alive he was taken to the slave camps. Due to what he had seen he grew distant and reserved. He's easy to blame wolves of the fire or magma species for anything he can possibly think off, holding a hatred towards them at times. The scars on his legs being the only thing that reminds him of the day he lost his family.

Gin ChinjaoGin was born to a pair of Plant Merchants. Oddly, he happened to be born a lot fluffier than most other wolves. Due to his fluffy pelt, he was often called “Puffball” when growing up, a name he embraced happily. Another trait nickname he held was “Smile”, as he was known for the happy, infectious smile he always seemed to have. Even during the attacks and while in the Slave Camps, he never lost his smile. He kept it on his face, hoping it would continue to give hope and happiness to his fellow Slaves. In the Slave Camps, he does what he can to befriend everyone, taking a particular liking towards a Fire Slave named Aagney Kepi, but the latter reciprocates with verbal abuse, and occasionally physical violence. Gin is a relaxed individual for the most part with a laid back demeanor. Of course, he also knows his manners and can act like a gentleman towards most people he meets as well as being a pretty approachable person himself. He will always try to make everyone happy

Darby PalemaDarby was always prone to talking back, and was known to be disrespectful towards her parents. Paying little attention to the scolding she received. On the day of the attacks, she went out to the forest without her parents approval. It was there she was suddenly snatched up by a large Fire Wolf, and carried off to the Slave Camps with several others her age. Her stay at the slave camps made her extremely aggressive, and she often talked back to the guards, which earned her a lot of beatings. Nothings the guards picking on the weak ones, she attempted to attack. Sadly the guard quickly overpowered her and as a punishment began dragging her around in front of the others by her tail. Eventually her tail was ripped of. Since then she became even more aggressive to the guards ignoring the advice her fellow slave mates gives her. Seen around Pippin, while they hardly talk, she finds herself feeling she must protect Pippin more and more frequently, as he is picked on by the guards more than the others.

Kemoa Shido Kemoa is small for his age. He was born a little early so he has been small from birth. This made his parents often worried about him, but he was always managing just fine, despite being smaller than the other pups. He would seek support from his sister Lilion who was a bit taller than him. When the attacks came and Kemoa's parents desperately tried to protect him. They failed and died, leaving Kemoa and his sister to be taken. Now within the Slave Camp, Kemoa is miserable and fed up but he battles on and tries his best. He is a hard worker which impresses the guards though they never actually praise him. Kemoa is honest, hard-working and considerate to others. He wears his necklace with pride as it was a gift from his uncle who had been the best hunter in his pack. He doesn't let his size get him down and will gladly impress his larger friends. Luckily he also has his sister on his side, who is not afraid to speak up for him.

Lavender RagonBorn within the dark cities she was born to the leaders of her pack, due to being the future pack leader her father began to teach her about leadership not long after. She always watched her younger siblings whenever her parents left. When the Shadow Clans attacked she attempted to hide her siblings as her parents defended their home, but upon seeing her father's death, she panicked and cried exposing their location. In return the hostile Shadow wolves killed her siblings off despite her cries for mercy. In the slave camp, she became more aggressive than before she tends to still play the big sister role to the other plant slaves and a few other slaves she gets along with. She seems to baby the slaves that need more of something and will steal the needed thing like food from other slaves while trying to care for the ones she is focused on, though this does result in conflict with the other slaves. She doesn't start fights but won't hesitate to defend herself. When not working she often talks about the past of the good old times.

Mosume LavandulaAs a pup, Mosume was the sweetest and kindest thing on four legs. He'd always be willing to help others in need, whether they actually deserved it or not. He was never one for fighting, and even avoid play-fights every so often due to his dislike in conflict of any sort. Luckily, it was not odd to have such a mindset for pups like him. Mosume always enjoyed observing more than participating in activities, and his parents deemed he'd make a good scout or pack watcher as an adult, as he often noticed details that many others did not. When the Shadow clans attacked, he didn't stand a chance. Running did nothing but drive him into the jaws of the enemy, who grabbed him so tightly by the scruff that it left a permanent scar, as he watched his parents suffer and perish before his eyes. These events changed him. While he was still a kind and gentle wolf to those of his own species, he did have a poor tendency to mouth off to the slave camp guards in spite. Unfortunately this lead to him being a target for the guards to bully. One guard in particular latching their jaws around his muzzle and leaving scars, threatening to rip his muzzle off next time he was so disrespectful. Now he usually keeps his comments to himself and stays away from the guards, hiding to avoid them.

Lilian ShidoAs a pup she was always a little bit defensive about her sibling Kemoa, due to his much smaller size. Despite this she was actually quite a shy pup. When the attacks took place she attempted to run away as she saw her brother captured, but in doing so a guard managed to grab her tail a tad rough, as it resulted in two scars. Within the slave camp she was shy and mostly terrified of those that were more aggressive. But as some picked on her brother she regained her confidence defending him even if he didn't want this. Always seen near her brother she tends to get a long better with those that show little aggression, but doesn't hesitate to defend herself from those that aren't. She seeks company of her sibling most of the time. Towards guards she is submissive though wanting to avoid beatings.

Pippin SinovenWhen Pippin was young, his brother was carried off by a wolf bird, too far away for his parents to reach. Overwhelmed by grief, Pippin's parents latched on to their remaining son, becoming overprotective and sheltering, refusing to let him do anything on his own. Pippin grew up fearful of the outside world, but still, he craved freedom. One evening he had enough telling his parents how he felt as he ran away into the forest. Though to his bad luck he ran straight into an army headed towards his pack. He tried to run but was captured by his tail and captured. Taken to the slave camps he never saw the fate of his home and family. He felt guilty knowing his last words to his parents weren't such kind ones. As the years went on, the guards often targeted him, picking on him and beating him for being so anxious. Their torment grew so awful that he became fearful of touch at all, and hardly spoke to anyone. He stays close to the other Plant slaves, but prefers to be left alone, doing his work quietly. Pippin doesn't talk much to Darby, but he enjoys her company. Sometimes he wishes he could be like her, secretly admiring her bravery, but the thought frightens him.

Nanthala HawthryNana was born a very sickly pup that needed lots of attention. Her parents fretted a lot and were overprotective, making her dependent and naive, even after her health improved. When the Shadow Clans attacked, she hid away with many others. When the den was set on fire, she fled with the other pups but was caught.
In the Slave Camp, she was picked on by the guards for being weaker than the others. Because of how dependent and naive she is, she grew attached to the guards and saw them as sort of guardian figures. When the guards picked up on this, they started targeting her more, interested to see how this mindset would affect her behavior. She developed unhealthy social habits because of this and started to view the punishment and torture she was put through as normal behavior that every wolf was supposed to go through. As a result, she started acting the same towards her fellow Slaves. Many of the other Plant Slaves often try to help her correct this, but never tend to get very far.

Rien ChūrippuAs a pup, Rien was heavily reliant on his sister Toka, as he was rather reclusive and quiet and didn’t like conversing very much. She tried to aid him and open him out of his shell, but by the time he had managed to grow more outgoing, his pack was attacked and he and his sister were captured. Again, he had returned to his former self and so became very withdrawn. Rien is often picked on by the guards due to his vulnerable, cowardice nature, usually seen attempting to flee from them or hide behind his sister for protection. He became extremely attached to her, but this came with some negative sides of his. Being shy and constantly seeking support of his sibling, he has trouble communicating with the other fellow slaves. Despite his sister supporting him to communicate and interact he lacks all the confidence he needs to do so.

Toka Chūrippu Her parents were highly respected hunters within the Dark Cities. Toka wanted to be just like them as she admired them greatly. The only thing holding her back was an issue in one of her back legs; a cracking joint that gave her away. Her parents wouldn't let her become discouraged by this, and she practiced her hunting on insects and lizards. Though stealth was not her strong suit due to her cracking leg (left hind) she was fast as the issue caused her no pain. She felt determined as she was quite mature for her age mostly because she looked after her brother half of the time in a rather protective way. After a few short years her home was under attack by Shadow Wolves who were intent on leaving little to no survivors. Toka was able to hide for a short time before trying to move on and her cracking leg giving her away to a couple near by wolves she had failed to notice.Within the slave camps, she is surprisingly calm given her situation as she refuses to give the abusers the reactions they desire from her. She awaits the day she can escape with the others. Looking after her brother most of the time.

Sangui IjarteWith the birth of Sangui, his parents gifted him a heart shaped charm on his left ear, hoping it would be a bringer of good fortune and luck. They treasured their son as it was their only child, which on it's own is quite rare within wolf litters. Sadly the charm brought little to no luck in the end. As the attacks took place his parents were killed of leaving him helpless and afraid. As a guard managed to snap at him, it left him with a thorn right ear. The guard however wasn't prepared for what happened next. Sangui had a unique ability which made his blood poisonous to those who tasted it. While the guard was in no way fit enough to fight, Sangui was quickly taken by another. At the slave camps this ability caused him nothing but trouble, as he was experimented on. Once a cheerful pup he became cold, calculative, murderous and malicious. He has given up on his freedom and often gets into fight attempting to poison guards with his own blood.

Plant survivors - Gallery
The survivors of the Ghost pups were originally going to be designed by myself as the creator, but then I changed my mind realizing it would be more fun to involve the supporters of AzureHowl. Because of this many of the survivors will be fan designs by the supporters of AzureHowl.
