Personality

Blunt:
He doesn't sugar-coat things. If the world was burning, he'd be the first one to comment how everyone was probably going to die. Not exactly a pessimistic per say, but to him, there isn't a point to deviate away from the truth. The same goes with other wolves. When he finds their company a displeasure, he'll tell them straight to their face, and not lose a wink of sleep over it.

Intelligent:
The gears inside his head never stop turning. He's always thinking about the next move and determining the best course of action. Lessons and answers come very easy to him, almost effortlessly. This causes him to have a sort of 'I'm smarter than you, you simpleton' air to him that, again, doesn't bother him. He tends to get frustrated with wolves that don't share his intellect, especially if the can't carry a good conversation. However, thinking he knows best has gotten him into trouble more than once.

Honorable:
As a young pup, his mother drove the values and teachings of Tentaka until he could repeat them verbatim. He upholds the love of the arts and nature like a good Tentaka wolf should. There is beauty all around that he feels quite privileged to see. He falls into the category of being more traditional in most aspects of the pack. There is no reason to change things.

Regretful:
Leaving his mother behind haunts him to this day. When he finally came back to his senses from the tantalizing brush with rebellion, it was too late. She was gone. Time passed painfully slow as he scoured most of the Domain in search of her, but it was all for naught. He is torn between wanting to find her and hoping to never cross her path again.

Wary:
Qiang is skeptic of outsiders. It burned him before and he vowed to heed the mistakes of his past. Even loyal members have a hard time getting into his good graces. He would much prefer to keep to himself in the farthest corner of the territory.

Devoted:
Few have wormed their way into his seemingly cold heart. Impressing Qiang is no easy feat, but once they get into his good graces, he can be a rather pleasant wolf to be around. He will aid in any way he can. The pack is his family, his home, his history, and his life. To be able to give his life to protect that would be an honorable death.

Pre-Group History

Cold and its icy pain that coated all the senses. That was the first memory Qiang had of coming into this world.

Qiang had been born out of a loveless unity. There had been a hint of affection from his mother, but once his father got what he craved, their relationship turned toxic. He has absolutely no memory of his father and found it best never to ask his mother about him. It's one thing of information he never had any desire to learn more about. As far as he's concerned, the male was a stranger, and probably died years ago.

It wasn't until they returned to the abandoned lands of Tentaka did his life really begin. Sadly, none of his siblings made the harrowing trip back to their destined homeland. They were all each other had. Meiling tutored her son tirelessly to ensure that their traditions and way of life would continue for generations after she was gone. They spent many seasons with just each other; he felt content with that life.

However, like his mother and father before him, a stranger would bring a temptation of the unknown.

She was the first wolf he had seen in years. Small, beautiful, cunning, with an intoxicating smell of fresh water and lavender. Qiang was smitten immediately. After his mother went to bed, he'd sneak off to meet with her. They would lie in the grass and talk for hours about all they had seen in the world. Every word that came out her mouth enthralled him. To see what she had - it became his dream, his obession. When she asked him to come with, he said yes without a moment's hestiation. Acting on impulse felt so thrilling.

Without a rational thought, he slipped away from the only life he knew one last time to meet his lover in their meeting spot. He waited. And waited. And waited. Once the sun rose above the horizon, he continuned to pace. What if she was hurt? Had something happened to her? Surely she would be coming. She had to! For one of the first times in his young life, he was left without an answer. She simply never showed.

There was no way he could return home. What would his mother think? Rather than face the humiliation and disappointment, he left in a self-sentenced exile. He had no denstination in mind. He would use this time to self-reflect and, perhaps, see the world that he had been promised.

After some time away, rumors began to spread that a wolf sought to bring Tentaka back to its former glory. Qiang felt ready to return home. Perhaps, just maybe, a familiar face would be waiting for him.
