Ruuza Shizeno (Redliw)BackgroundRuuza is the wolf of legend. Born with a white pelt, she is said to be the one to inherit the powers of the Azure Dragons. Legend speaks of the Azure Dragons, raised by a pack of wolves with a female leader who's pelt was as white as snow. Because of this, the Dragons made the promise to bless one wolf with a white pelt like their wolf mother.
At the age of three, Ruuza's home village was attacked, setting her parents Luna and Locin on the run to get their daughter to safety. Despite their efforts, they were followed by a wolf named Chaos, who battled Locin as Luna tried to get Ruuza as far away as possible to safety. Locin wasn't planning to let Chaos pass, as he tried to give his family time to run. Locin, however, ended up mortally wounded when battling Chaos, and died after several injuries and one nasty bite.
Ruuza was left in the bushes in the Iron forest. For what reason and purpose Luna left her there is still unknown. Ruuza was on her own when her mother left, but when two wolves were passing by, the female wolf, named Kala, quickly spotted the white wolf. Together with her mate, she decided to stay with Ruuza, while her mate went out in search of the parents. Matt discovered their dead bodies, knowing Ruuza's fate was already set, as she was an orphan. In the end Matt and Kala decided to adopt her, having lost their own litter. The mother’s instinct inside Kala urged her to want to take care of Ruuza, so from that day on Ruuza had new parents that would look after her.
Nine years after the incident, Ruuza had become a 12 year old teen. Unfortunately, Ruuza started suffering from memory loss only a few days after the death of her real parents. Kala and Matt only knew Ruuza's name as she had given her name to both of them before the memory loss took place. While the names of her parents remained a mystery. An extra ring appeared in her eyes when she lost her memory, how the ring appeared is still a mystery.
When the Iron forest caught fire, the family’s home den was put in danger. Ruuza was forced to leave the area after nine years of being raised there. Her parents knew hiding was going to become a major problem as they set foot towards their homeland. On the way, however, they found themselves in trouble when a pack of poison wolves threatened them, wanting to capture Ruuza. This attack caused Ruuza, for the first time, to show a power unknown to her parents. As her eyes glowed red, she took on Ladon, resulting in Ruuza pushing him off a cliff. She then returned to her parents saying she did not remember anything that happened. She befriended a wolf named Mutt, who she confessed to that she could indeed control her red eyes. Aside from that, Ruuza had the habit of training herself, even though her father kept telling her that she shouldn't focus on training. Her mother believed this to be an integrated habit, something Ruuza remembers of her parents.

Ruuza was shown to have a lack of morals when she proudly stated to have taken care of Ladon. Her father quickly takes action and confronts her that nothing is good about taking a life, but she shakes it off as if she was just joking around. Ruuza's personality in many ways is still a mystery to her parents, as she usually seems to be a gentle wolf, but moments like those make them highly confused. Ruuza shows a lot of interest for the tales of dragons, as she was happy to know when she heard that she wasn't the only one to be blessed by a dragon. Ruuza also shows to have no hate or anger, despite how she is raised, towards the Ghost pups. She didn't seem to take her father seriously about it at all, as she thinks that those kids can't be to much different from herself due to her own age being similar to theirs. Ever since they left the den, Ruuza did notice that wolves seem to be targeting her, as another bunch of poison wolves went for the attack to capture her. Luckily, Mutt had proven worthy and re-payed the family’s favor by protecting her this time.
When Ruuza's group reached the BlazingWood Pack, Ruuza is confronted in seconds about who she is, as she is known as "The White Wolf”. Krypton, Kala’s father, does not approve of his daughter taking this wolf in, until he finds out that Kala and Matt had adopted her. As Kala and Matt quickly give their parents an update on their situation, Ruuza was requested to leave from Krypton so they could talk in private. Ruuza did not like this, but had no other choice. During the conversation Mira, Kala’s mother, did suggest to bring Ruuza up in the mountains where possible related family could be, but Kala rejected the idea thinking her family might be dangerous. When Ruuza eventually finds out about her adoptive parents and what happened to them in the past, which made them lose their first litter, she quickly felt sorry for them, but her parents reminded her that she was their child as well and that Ruuza had changed their lives for the better. Ruuza herself still had many questions about why her real parents were killed.
Personality
Ruuza shows a very mixed personality. She can be gentle and caring as well as having the morals of wanting to help the wounded, but will be cold and aggressive towards her enemies. She protected Mutt only because he was outnumbered and in need of help. Ruuza can be very stubborn as well, and does everything her way, having ignored several wishes of her parents. This often makes her look like a spoiled child. She does not often like to take orders and will not back down from any wolf no matter what their size or power. She likes to tease and joke around as well, directing her humor towards anyone close by. Aside from that she tends to (act)play dumb and innocent. Later on it is shown that Ruuza is not so good when it comes to interacting with other wolves. She also seems to have an attitude and can be rude without realizing it herself. Ruuza can be quite naive however, she can trust a stranger quite fast as seen in episode 3 with Mutt. If a wolf is kind to her, she will often see the best in them.

Appearance
As a young pup Ruuza received a snow white pelt, making her the wolf of legend that everyone talks about. She features no markings except for the black ones under her eyes. They both points towards her snout, and extend to the corner of her eyes, creating the illusion of long eyelash, even though that is just a marking as well. Aside from her white pelt, she has a brown nose and her inner ear color is brown as well. She has grey pinkish paw pads. Her eyes are what makes her most special, as when she was young she only featured light blue eyes, but shortly after the event that cost her parents their lives, she obtained a special ring in her eyes, a darker blue colored ring around the pupil. When she get's angry on the other side, she has the possibility to boost her power, causing her eyes to turn red, like the Goddess Seiyru herself.
Abilities and Moves
In episode two, Ruuza howls to intimidate and get the attention of Ladon when his followers pinned down her father. When doing so her eyes turned from blue to red, which gave her a boost in power as she stormed on her target, going straight after Ladon. Even though she didn't fire any move or little seemed to have changed, her power did increase. She doesn't know much about her powers, nor does she know what element she could have, but she has used basic moves so far to defend herself.
