Name: Loki (after the Norse trickster god)

Place of Birth: Somewhere in the wilds of Alaska

Age: Roughly two years.

Breed: Timber Wolf

Appearance: Kirada showed me the lineart, which can be found here and belongs to balto667 of DA. In this particular shot, a teenage Loki got stuck cub-sitting for the pack. Lucky him.

Parents: Unnamed.

Siblings: Unnamed.

Mate: None (but that doesn't mean he's not looking ;) )

Connection to Balto: Friends with Balto's granddaughter Luna, who together with Toby temporarily looked after him.

Personality: As mischievous as his name suggests, Loki is constantly getting into trouble. Toby and Luna first met the young rascal as a cub when, after he had been separated from his pack and wandered into town, he got involved in a game of kick-the-can with Pete and his posse of troublemakers.  Regrettably, he was on the wrong side of the can: the inside.

One timely rescue later, he found himself in the care of Toby and Luna. Despite some initial misgivings, he let them persuade him to stay with Toby until they could find and reunite him with his pack. This quickly lead to tension between him and his caretaker, as Loki's rambunctious habits made him ill-suited for life in a house. By day he was demanding and hard to keep hiddenen., and by night he would go on inexplicable rampages and demolish major parts of the house, leaving no object within reach undamaged. It wasn't that he meant to be destructive, but being a wild animal he really didn't belong indoors. The rest of that story can be read in "Pup Problems."

Loki is scheduled to appear in a future fanfic. Only time will tell what bedevilment he has in store for Toby et al. this time.

Talents: Unknown. Great at getting into trouble.

Likes: Playing, exploring, biting and tearing, and anyone who's nice to him.

Dislikes: Being quiet, staying cooped up, babysitting, Pete and his gang.

As my Character: Loki developed from a character in a story of The Haven Chronicles which I am presently debating whether to include in the series at all.  The character in question was one of my first attempts to introduce an Otherworlder (someone native to this world) into Haven.
