Rank: Warrior

Characteristics

Personality: Dark, quiet, independent, short-tempered, sometimes rude, untrusting to strangers and keeps to himself. He's social with wolves he knows, but if a stranger comes along, he won't waist a second at being hostel and with few words. He doesn't really care about what he says out loud around others that he knows, and proves to come off as rude to his friends. He is known choose his words wisely around canines that he doesn’t know well, thus he appears shy, but he really isn’t. He's not really a ladies hound and he is not the million-mate kind of guy. He’s kind of oblivious to any looks he gets, simply because he doesn’t care for love.
Likes: His sister (surprisingly), his parents, snowfall, and winning
Dislikes: Illia (when he was younger), pretty much most of his pack, crowded places, Ethon, and human tow
Loves: Rory and his kids
Hates: Titan, the Anevay, Travis, pups (with the exception of his own), when Kyrik annoys him on purpose, crybabies, and bears
Talents/ Abilities: He’s a strong fighter, but he’s much more of a stealth guy so he’s pretty good at sneaking up and attacking with surprise (which usually results in him winning a fight).
Weaknesses: Jimmy’s most atoning quality – his love and loyalty to Rory – makes him vulnerable to manipulation and deception when she is threatened.
Dreams: To find Rory once more and settle down together, to surpass Travis in his abilities as a fighter, and to kill Titan and Ethon.
Fears: Becoming emotioanlly vacant, losing the love of his life

History

Jimmy was born in the fall of 1923 outside of Nome, Alaska in the forest with his older sister Lilly. His parents were the alphas of the Alsoome Pack. Jimmy and his sister were both born very weak and after 2 weeks his parents said that Jimmy and his sister were condemned to death, and allowed Stark and Aniu to have pups. A week after Jimmy's parents allowed Aniu and Everet to have pups, Lilly and Jimmy got better and were going to live and that there was no need for more pups in the pack. But it was too late because Aniu was pregnant.

So Jimmy and his sister grew up with their cousins, Kyrik and Illia. Lilly did not approve of her cousins and often dragged Jimmy into fights with them. Jimmy didn’t necessarily bully his cousins to the extent of his sister, but stood on the sidelines and let it happen as an indifferent bystander. At a young age, Jimmy was put into warrior training with Travis as his teacher. Jimmy began to aspire to become the strongest in the pack, even dreaming to one day bypass his teacher.

When Jimmy was a year and a half old he was watching Lilly deep in an argument against Kyrik and Illia. A bear snuck up on the four teens, and Kyrik and Lilly managed to get away while Illia led the bear off to a cliff and Jimmy followed to help her fight it off. Jimmy and Illia were almost killed by the bear, but were saved by a mysterious wolf. The mysterious wolf was named Titan and he tricked Jimmy and Illia into joining his pack, telling them that they were in debt to him. So Jimmy and Illia never got to say goodbye and were taken from their home to join the Anevay Pack.

Jimmy was just as scared as Illia, but managed to suppress his feelings well enough to appear accepting to the idea of living in the Anevay Pack, despite his anger towards Titan. Jimmy was trained to be a fighter in the Anevay Pack under Thalia’s guidance, which pulled him away from Illia for most hours of the day. Jimmy was on a harsh schedule to build his endurance and strength, so most nights when he returned to the den he had little to no patience for others and didn’t really want to talk to Illia, despite the fact that she would try to conspire with him to escape. Jimmy would brush her off continuously every night.

One evening, when Jimmy was entering the camp, Illia’s friend, Aurora, begs for Jimmy to follow her into the den. When Jimmy enters the den he sees a group of his fellow trainees picking on someone. Jimmy sees that Illia is getting beaten to a pulp, so he jumps in the fray and gets the other recruits to scram. Illia thanks Jimmy, while she is helped up by Aurora, but Jimmy doesn’t even look at her and gives Illia the cold shoulder. Jimmy limps off to his own corner to be alone. A little while later, Panther (Aurora’s brother and Illia’s friend) approaches Jimmy and scolds him for being so mean to his own family, to which Jimmy explains, “Just because I’m not as smothering as you doesn’t mean I don’t care about her.” Jimmy proceeds to ignore Panther until he goes away.

A little while later, another wolf approaches him named Rory. She offers Jimmy a piece of meat and asks how he is doing. Jimmy is taken aback by her concern for his physical and emotional wellbeing, since he hadn’t experienced a single person like that since he starting living in the Anevay Pack, not even from Illia, who seems too focused on getting home. Rory stayed with Jimmy while he ate quietly, but was eventually called away by Ethon that night.

For the many weeks following that evening, Jimmy found himself distracted by Rory’s presence in the pack, and was often caught off guard during sparring matches because he was watching Rory going about her own business. However, when Rory would approach him, Jimmy became very cold and distant, often acting opposite of his true emotions. Thalia began to notice Jimmy’s lack of focus and irritability and took him out on a scouting mission to get him to confide to her what was distracting him. While on their mission, Thalia pesters Jimmy to tell her what is going on, and Jimmy admits that his thoughts have been bothered by another pack member, but he doesn’t mention who it is. Thalia advises Jimmy that he should confront his emotions rather than avoid them.

Jimmy takes this advice and applies it to his situation with Rory. Jimmy approaches Rory and asks to speak privately. She follows him to a private area, but Thalia spots them walking off and figures out what Jimmy is going through. Jimmy asks Rory why she was so nice to him, to which Rory responds that she doesn’t want to see Jimmy end up emotionally vacant. This starts a strong friendship between the two, as Jimmy becomes more comfortable with his more sensitive side around Rory, which had been suppressed for pretty much most of his life. Rory is able to bring out more morality from Jimmy, and the two share a strong connection, eventually falling in love.
