— FULL DESCRIPTION:

  rocky is not a unique looking kid, no, not yet. He is a near replica of his father jacob, minus the scars of course. he shares the grey husky colouration, the build, the fur, he shares most all of his appearance with his father save for one thing.

his eyes.

this was a rather unexpected thing for rocky. he had been born with blue eyes, as most dogs are, and it was expected that they would stay blue, it just made sense! but oh, how happy he had felt when somebody had noticed what colour his eyes had turned. rocky has brown eyes that, if you look close enough, have an almost silver ring around them. it may be something little but it was something that made him happy and it was something that finally gave him a sense of individualism, something that many young children struggled to find.

rocky is a rather lanky child. his height strikes a rather sharp contrast with his siblings and his long legs don't make it terribly easy to learn to walk, but there is a certain beauty to it. a beauty to the oversized paws, almost comically large on his young body, a beauty to the rather large but oh so soft grey ears that make themselves known upon his head, pricking up at every sound and every opportunity to explore. there is a guarantee that he will likely grow a fair amount more, that he will fill out more, that he will someday fit those oversized paws. he will soon fill the skin that's stretched tightly but snugly over his bones and you will one day be unable to count his ribs. there's beauty in the guaranteed.

despite his height, despite the skin reminiscent of a tarp pulled taunt, you have to admit that rocky is scruffy as they come. it is one of the first things that you notice about the child. the numerous grey and white cowlicks that could never be brushed flat, the immediate knowledge that you'd gain upon looking at him, the knowledge that he had never once cared enough to pick up a comb.
there was information in the things that his fur would pick up while he explored. you could know if he went to the nursery or if he had snuck out by the burrs tangled up in his two-toned pelt. you could figure out if he had once again tried to swim by the matted fur, well, everywhere. he wasn't really that great at swimming. his coat was nearly charming, in a quirky sort of way. you wouldn't be able to say that you didn't remember the scruffy pup if you had laid eyes on him but a single time.


TRAITS: adventurous, stubborn, sneaky, loyal, loud, inviting
— FULL DESCRIPTION:

most young children don't quite know how to act in accordance to the standards that society has set. they don't know that they shouldn't lie, they don't know that they shouldn't be loud and they definitely don't know that they can't run off and do whatever they want.

rocky has learned none of this. in some ways it makes him different, in some ways it makes him ignorant, it can go so many different ways but you have to simply accept that the way it's going is for rocky to choose. he is only a kid and he doesn't understand the restraints put on him, especially when he sees so many other people doing whatever they want. he doesn't know what's happening when he's told 'no' and, although it would be a valuable thing to learn, it's simply a natural stage of his development.

it's natural for him to be adventurous. it's natural for him to put on a comically serious face as he tries to sneak out of his home and it's natural for him to be cackling excitedly and running headfirst into a tree when he finally manages to pull it off. It's a natural thing for him to pretend to be a swashbuckling pirate, especially in a heavily water based clan, and it's natural for him to do stupid stuff like trying to climb a tree. he is a dog..they don't usually do terribly well in trees.

it's a great thing when he invites others to join him, even if they are his siblings and even if its in not-so-hushed whispers when he thinks that their parents are asleep. it's great that he shows his ability to lead and it's definitely great that he shows concern when his siblings get hurt. that, although he too may be hurt, he kisses their scraped knees like he's seen his fathers do so many times, that he gently wipes away their tears and that he, although not much bigger than them, carries them back home and honestly confesses what happened.

he confesses that he and his sibling had gone out, he confesses that they had gotten scared and run yelling and screaming through the bush. he confesses that he accidentally tripped them and that is why they are all scraped up.

he will be loyal to those he holds close, regardless of injury or punishment.

rocky might not understand what society wants him to be but he sure as hell knows what he wants to be.
