A lean wolfdog with a lighter underbelly, legs, and muzzle. Above his yellow eyes is a spot of brown-gray fur that looks like a circle, giving him “eyebrows” so to speak. A tan color covers his ears and runs halfway down his neck until it mingles with a dark brown-gray color that drapes itself over his shoulders. Then the light tan continues in a stripe along his back down to his tail, stopping a little past the base with a black dot. The rest of his tail is a slightly darker tan color that travels to his hips and legs.

Malik is known as being a bit more laid back and mellow than a lot of wolfdogs his age, and he’s a rather agreeable sort. Though it may not seem like it, especially since his personality isn’t very intense, he is highly empathetic and usually aware of what other canines’ emotions are. If only he could be as spiritually aware, like his mother and sister, as he was emotionally aware. This causes him a great deal of pain and struggles as he tries to clamber his way through the more spiritual nature of the Limberlost Swamp Pack. Normally kind and compassionate, Malik can be extremely moody when he’s in a state of self-doubt due to his near inability to see or speak with the spirits.

He’s rather thoughtful, often bringing Packmates back things they might enjoy to keep their spirits up. Malik often thinks of others long before he does himself, which doesn’t help the fact that he’s already prone to moodiness. Still, his consideration for others is often appreciated, especially when things get busy and Packmates begin to forget to take care of themselves. Food is a common thing he brings, as it’s the first thing most seem to forget about, or a ball of moss soaked in water so they may lap from it.

Though he is too shy to admit it, he has painted countless trees with art, showing a creative side that far surpasses his spiritual comprehension and abilities. He fails to realize that the art he’s painted of the stories he’s heard from his mother and many others within the Pack have become brilliant, rolling stories across the trees and rocks in their territory that others stop to interpret. Whenever a harsh rain washes away all his work, he simply goes out and paints new stories among the swamp.

HISTORY

Malik has lived a life far different than his sister Nuka. When they were still young, Malik realized that though his outward body might appear female to some… inside, he was not. Nothing about him felt like a girl. He was nearing his whelping ceremony when he finally came forth to his mother, Bask, and asked if she would rename him during the whelping ceremony. Malik had expected some sort of push back, but instead his mother smiled warmly at him and nuzzled him, agreeing to his request without a single word of argument. A weight felt like it had lifted from his shoulders.

He can still remember the ceremony. The Pack had gathered around as Bask climbed up onto the top of her den, made out of an old massive tree trunk, ready for Malik—then Malika—and Nuka to become whelps. They were at first surprised when Bask called a renaming ceremony first, but as Bask tied it in to the whelping ceremony, turning him from Malika to Malik, it felt true and right. As the ceremony ended, the Pack called out his new name and Nuka’s: “Malik! Nuka! Malik! Nuka!” They had at last begun their training to be warriors.

That was not the only difficulty for Malik, however. Perhaps what was more frustrating was the fact that he very rarely could see the spirits or even speak to them, whereas it seemed his mother could do it freely and even Nuka could see and hear them more than he did. It upset him that he hadn’t gotten this power, this ability to connect with the ancestors, and it caused him to become very depressed during his training and even after he became a full warrior. Even today he still envies those that can contact the ancestors. With age it only seems to have gotten harder for him, and he often fears he will have to leave Limberlost since the ancestors are so important to them. This, however, he has not brought up with his mother at all; he doesn’t want to upset her with this, but the jealousy only grows each time he sees her or Nuka, even though he loves them dearly.
