[conrí]

the basics
✧ Conrí Ó Faoláin; con, ri-ri
— "cun-ree".  Gaelic.  "wolf king".
✧ male.  masculine pronouns.  he/him.
✧ teen.  appears 10 moons.  immortal.
✧ elysium.  elysite.  loyalty to individuals first.

personality
+ | Active, earnest, loyal.
0 | Outspoken, self-conscious, stubborn.
- | Careless, impulsive, naive.
A typically upbeat and good-natured boy.  Conrí is rather impulsive and naive, lacking a broad understanding of the world.  Outwardly, he expresses himself as a self-assured confident youth, prepared to lead any charge.  Oft times, he comes across brash or reckless, only seeing one direction in front of him.  Deeper, Conrí is a boy playing hero, deeply insecure due to the high exceptions he placed upon himself.

appearance
✧ Dire Wolf.  Reference.
— A well-built canine with somewhat soft gray, black and white fur.  The fur atop his head is splashed with gold and his eyes a warm amber.  His muscles are well-toned from obvious physical training and he often carries the scent of fresh grass.

relationships
✧ Son of Raziel Ó Faoláin x Kaisa Joki
— Younger brother of Art Ó Faoláin and Lilja Nί Faoláin
— Triplet brother of Lonân Ó Faoláin and Suvi Kiira Nί Faoláin
✧ Nephew of Kian Ó Faoláin and Séamus Ó Faoláin
— Cousin of Keona Sibéal Ní Faoláin
✧ Brought up by his older siblings, Art and Lilja primarily, following his mother's passing and accustomed to regular visits by his father, Raziel.
— Grew up in a rather sheltered place with a loving family.  Consequently, his world view remains somewhat naive.

combat
Conrí has gone under rigorous self-inflected training, but lacks true refinement.  He is simply a moderate opponent, both physically and mentally.

Rusty Spotted Cat Study
Prionailurus rubiginosus

HB Length: 35-48 cm (13-19″)
Tail Length: 15-30 cm (5.9-11″)
Height: Approx. 20 cm (8″)
Weight: 1-1.6 kg (2.2-3.5 lbs)

Appearance: The short fur is grey, with rusty spots over the back and flanks, while the underbelly is white with large dark spots.  The darker colored tail is thick and about half the length of the body, and the spots are less distinct.  There are six dark streaks on each side of the head, extending over the cheeks and forehead.

Behavior:
These cats are thought to be nocturnal.

They possess a reputation for being especially fierce hunters taking large prey, but their diet is mostly small animals; mainly rodents and birds, but they may also hunt lizards, frogs, and insects.  They hunt primarily on the ground, making rapid, darting movements to catch their prey.  They apparently venture into trees to escape larger predators.

Litters are typically of one to two kittens, who weigh just 60 to 77 g (2.1 to 2.7 oz), and are marked with rows of black spots.  They reach sexual maturity at around 68 weeks, by which time they have developed the distinctive adult coat pattern of rusty blotches.

Rusty-spotted cats have lived for twelve years in captivity, but their lifespan in the wild is unknown.

Arctic Fox Study
Vulpes lagopus

HB Length: 18 to 26.75 in
Tail Length: 13.75 in
Weight: 6.5 to 17 lbs

Appearance: Arctic foxes have white (sometimes blue-gray) coats that act as very effective winter camouflage.  When the seasons change, the fox's coat turns as well, adopting a brown or gray appearance that provides cover among the summer tundra's rocks and plants.
Their rounded body shapes provide further insulation by preventing further heat loss, and even the soles of their feet are covered in fur to protect them as they walk on snow.
An arctic fox's thick tail acts as balance, like a cat's, but also as a blanket in the winter, providing extra warmth as they curl up into tight balls, minimizing their surface area to volume ratio.

Behavior:
Arctic foxes must endure a temperature difference of up to 90-100 °C (194-212 °F) between the external environment and their internal core temperature.  They survive in temperatures as low as –50 °C (58 °F) in their natural habitat.

Although arctic foxes are active year-round and do not hibernate, they attempt to preserve fat by reducing their locomotor activity.  During autumn, they build up their fat reserves, sometimes increasing their body weight up to 50%; providing greater insulation during the winter and a source of energy when food is scarce.

Generally, arctic foxes eat any small animal they can find, including lemmings, voles, other rodents, hares, birds, eggs, fish, and carrion.  When present, lemmings are their most common prey.  In winter prey can be scarce on the ground.  At such times, arctic foxes will follow other predators—such as polar bears—to eat the leftover scraps from its kills.  Foxes will also eat plants, such as vegetables, berries and seaweed.

During the spring, the arctic fox's attention switches to reproduction and a home for their potential offspring.  They reside in large, maze-like dens borrowed into the ground to avoid predators and stay warm.

Primarily monogamous, both arctic fox parents will care for their offspring.  Breeding usually takes place in April and May with litters as large as 25 pups.  The young emerge from the den at 3 to 4 weeks old and are weaned by 9 weeks of age.  The young become sexually mature at 9-10 months of age.  In the wild, arctic foxes live to about 3-5 years, and about 10 in captivity.
