written personality; alder is a very patient fox, and never rushes into any situation. he keeps himself calm and relax throughly examining every factor before jumping into a situation. he will never rush into a fight he knows he cannot win. he’s also extremely intellegent, and often gets himself out of stressful situations with ease.
he takes pride in observing others and being able to read other foxes. he’s also rather kind, and loves to share his knowledge and stories with others.

backstory; alder was raised in a small skulk with his mother. his father had been a solitary fox passing through, and left before alder was born. although this never bothered him, and the other foxes in his skulk did their best to care for him and assist his mother in raising him.
[2 moons old] after an extremely difficult storm and winter, the skulk was seperated. alder and his mother remained together, searching for others. although after several dead ends, alder’s mother decided it would be best to find another skulk to join, and hoped the others had thought the same.
“up north alder, they always spoke about that skulk up north. they’ll be there, we just have to look.”
they traveled for what seemed like years, and in that time alder’s mother filled his head with myths and fables about the mystical fox. he loved these stories as a kit, and hopes to find someone to tell them to.
[7 moons] but soon even more diffuclt then the first hit him. alder’s mother had been one of the smartest foxes known, and taught him all about traps and other animals. he’d learned how to avoid several situations from her, and was taught to respect the animals of the forest.
“they’re just as we are. they have familes, friends, respect their lives as much as you do your own.”
unfortunatly, certain animals didn’t respect that. human hunters learked the forest, hunting foxes for their fur. although their tactics had gotten them far, it was only a matter of time before their luck ran out.
it was dark out, and alder and his mother were being chased by dogs. sounds of the humans yelling followed behind them, and they were running out of places to run.
after coming up on a dead end, alder’s mother looked at him with wide eyes.
“find them. promise me you’ll go north and find them.”
those were the last words she spoke before running out, leading the dogs away from alder and sacrificing herself in the process.
alder told himself that no matter what, he’d find that skulk up north. he’s been traveling alone ever since, searching for any leads or signs of them.
[12 moons] for now, alder travels alone. although he’s came across small skulks and a few helpful foxes, his heart is set in traveling north and finding his true home. the place his mother desired so dearly.
