Name:   Marvell

Age:  young teen.
Parents:   Balto & Jenna (c) Universal

Breed: Siberian Husky/ Wolf

Gender: Male

Personality:   Marvell was a born leader, he just never took it to his advantage and wasn't actually very good at pulling sledges. He's a livley young fello but to his own accord. His personality is much like a cats', he will never do anything if there isn't something in it for him. Besides this he is generally calm and reasonibly confident but shy around females and isn't, and never will be your typical ladies man. He can be stubborn at times as his father and sister are (Balto and Alue.) Marvell has a tendency to be a bit unsocialble towards females and can be a bit argumentative.

Likes:He quite likes being part wolf, he sees it as an excuse to be hasty at times although most wolves are shy creatures. He loves his parents and has a close bond with his mother. He likes to see himself as a dog to look up to, although the puppies he knows don't really like him as much as he thinks they do. Marvell also likes the idea of being seen as a hero's son although he never really took much intrest in his heritage.

Dislikes:  Marvell despises the cold despite the fact he lives in Nome. He hates being bored and doesn't appreciate listening to his fathers story to much as it made him feel he had no chance in being top dog. Marvell also doesn't like wild animals and won't mix with wolves despite his family tree.

History:Marvell was the slightly obserd pup in his litter. He is markings made him stand out and Jenna's humans wondered whether people would want him. Luckily as the time flew past, more and more people came to visit the pups and see which they liked and soon one pup was reserved and then the next and finally Marvell was chosen. The man was an experienced musher who had bred many sledding dogs in his time. He was looking for a strong male for lead and knowing Balto, he had to buy one of his decendents.

When the pups finally became eight weeks old, the man came to pick up Marvell. Marvell was the second to leave and was suprisingly confident about the outside world and was dying to get tied to a sled and become a super star of a dog. His master had actually called him Chekan at first. Unfortunatly, on his first practice at being lead dog when he was two, Marvell thought he didn't need to listen to his masters commands and took the sled team into a dangerous area and crossed a strong bridge to some terribly thin ice.

The sled crashed threw the ice and the musher was hanging on, well into the murky, freezing water. Luckily Marvell was able to pull him up but as soon and they got back the musher put up a sign on his window reading:
Dog for Sale.
Related to the great Balto.
Useless at sledding.

Poor Marvell was heart broken his own master called gim useless and was now selling him. He was soon sold to a pair of  new comers who had moved from Russia years before. They named him Marvell.

Related to Balto: His son.
