Suave
If there's another wolf that's more of a ladies' man than Zhui, you'll have a hard time finding them. He loves girls, and will flirt with,
and flatter sprinkles of sugary lines over, those whom may catch his eye. However, quite a gentleman, Zhui refuses to lead females on, and will make it abundantly
clear what sort of relationship they're engaging in before proceeding in no-strings-attached scenarios or one-night-stands. He will also refuse romantic interaction with
those who already have a mate.
Well if you're open for it, and it's not against his moral code, Zhui's not one to protest against a roll in the hay...
Zhui is not the most serious wolf around. He tends to take life as it comes, and is generally quite laid-back and casual.
The only time you'll see this male get serious is in situations that actually require such an outlook.
Once he sets his mind on something, Zhui will achieve that goal, no matter what challenges stand in his way. It's extremely hard to talk
him down from doing the thing once he's made up his mind, and can be a little imprudent about the entire ordeal. This wolf's resolve is an
unwavering force that threatens to mow down anyone who dares hinder it.
Again, Zhui is not the most serious wolf you will encounter. He's often rather amusingly cheeky, and loves to muck around with those who
tolerate such antics - usually those of younger age. Naturally, he loves humour. When in a jolly mood, you might want to watch your tail, lest
you become a victim of a practical joke.
Almost to the point of idiocy. Zhui is oddly comfortable in strange situations and places, and has the impulsive bravery (or stupidity) of a bull; he
seemingly seeks thrills and danger as he has no problem purposely winding up a vicious foe or poking a stick at a sleeping bear - metaphorically speaking.
This sociable male is a major people person. he loves interacting with others, and he seems to carry a natural allure to him.
To compliment this, Zhui's quite the charmer, and is generally a very pleasant wolf to interact with. He is very outgoing, and loves
speaking and interacting with large crowds, having very good people skills.
For all his jovial features, there is nothing Zhui takes more seriously than his devotion to others, particularly those he cares for. He is extremely
faithful to those he loves, and will drop all other necessities to help them out. He won't stand for anyone who dare hurt the people he cares
for, and will not rest until he's made sure that such a wolf bothers them no longer. It would be a good idea to think twice before messing
with Zhui's friends or family.
Yet another trait nurtured by his history, Zhui's time spent raising his brothers has given him a natural affinity with pups and youngsters, and he will
just as often play around with them as he does teach. He feels a great need to help push pups in the right direction, whether it be through being a
father or an older brother.
Zhui is a generally kind male, always standing up for the greater good and the less fortunate without a care for what other wolves think about
him and his choices. He cares deeply for those around him, and likes helping out those in trouble. If you need a wolf to talk to or have a problem
you can't solve, Zhui is never fussed about pushing his own issues aside and lending a paw.
A trait he gained from his past, Zhui is a natural-born leader. Despite his risk-taking ways, however, he is not dumb or intellectually handicapped. No, in fact,
he's extremely intelligent. This wolf, for whatever reason, simply has rash tendencies - although, he has an explicit talent for "changing masks," if you will. When
things get serious, he quickly adopts a more mature persona and uses his political cunning - passed down in words of wisdom by his mother - to sort out
whatever problem there may be. Zhui is very dependable and will quickly take charge in any situation that calls for it. He puts his heart into inspiring those who
are down on their luck, and often his confidence and level-headedness rubs off on those who follow.
Zhui is also open-minded and flexible, having abroad range of interests that change with the phases of the moon.
His aforementioned courageousness sometimes lends to him being somewhat irresponsible, in the fact that he has a tendency to overestimate his limits and
take on challenges that he's not ready for, which can get him into trouble.
Approval-Seeking While he doesn't seem too chuffed with the opinions of those he's never met about his person, for whatever reason, Zhui seems to crave the approval of those
he's close to, and gets disheartened when he doesn't receive it.
Obsessive When Zhui is focused on something, it takes precedence over everything else in his life, and will compulsivly obsess over whatever's caught his attention - usually
some matter of dispute or problem at hand - until he achieves the desired result.
Emotionally Driven Zhui is also known to be guided by his moods, and has a distinct reputation for making bad choices when filled with intense emotion. His impulsive tendencies are
most prominent in such a state.

Pre-group History
Born as the only surviving member of his litter to a sickly mother, Zhui had to pull the majority of the weighin his family almost from the moment he could walk.
He never met his father - his mother never talked about him much - so he was the only one around that could possibly care for both members of his little kin, despite her
protests. Signe often encouraged her son to do more pup-like things, but Zhui's almost perpetual worry for his mother never allowed him to goof off, instead investing every hour
of every day making sure Signe got the best treatment he could provide. Practically raising himself, the young Zhui was almost entirely self-taught in the ways of hunting , his
tireless training to catch the only prey he could handle at his juvenile size - small, speedy prey such as rabbits - developed an innate talent for agility, which earned him the
nickname "Whirlwind Zhui" from both his mother and other mutual acquaintances in the area.
The passing year and a half of his life was dedicated entirely to the survival of his mother, who seemed to grow worse and worse with every coming month. He received the shock
of his life when he returned from a hunt one day to find Signe missing. He searched for days upon days, with not even a scent left behind for him to trace. After a week, Zhui was
just about to accept the worst when the next day, he awoke to find his mother sleeping peacefully in her hollow, as if she'd never left. Despite his frantic scolding and questioning,
the frail female simply smiled and claimed that she had just wanted to stretch her legs; she had, after all, spent quite a long while on her belly, sheltered away from the light of
the sun and the tranquil breeze of the wind. The true reason soon became apparent, however, when when Zhui noticed a distinct change in his mother's scent, and her growing
belly only confirmed his suspicions. After another round of intense cross-examination and questioning, Signe finally, and quite sheepishly, admitted that she went to meet
with Zhui's father. Needless to say, the young male was shocked. He tried to weasel even more information out of her, but his mother stubbornly remained tight-lipped about
the entire ordeal.
Zhui increased his efforts to supply for his mother by tenfold, and in a few months, two healthy male pups were born, whom she named Ezekiel and Dagr. Poor Signe,
however, did not gain the blessing of health that her new sons had, and her sickness progressed at an alarming rate. As he had with his mother, Zhui took to the front
line when it came to raising his brothers, and the three nurtured an unbreakable bond, and although he tried his best to keep her as healthy as he could, so that his
brothers could grow up with their mother around, Signe finally passed when the pups were only three months old.
Devastated, he buried her by the river, then took his brothers and left the place he had called home for almost two years.
Although he was their brother, Zhui took an almost paternal role in Dagr and Kiel's life - he taught them to hunt, fight, right from wrong and wrong from right, determined
to mold them into the best wolves they could be. But alas, the world had some sort of distaste for the brown-ish wolf's happiness, and in the younger litter's ninth moon,
sent forth a flood upon the valley in which the siblings were currently staying, and in the commotion, Zhui lost sight of his brothers. No matter where he looked, not even
in the smallest nooks and crannies, could Zhui find his brothers, and, with a heavy heart, he was eventually forced to leave the valley when the humans came, likely to
investigate the damage, shot a needle to his rump and took him away; relocated to the territory of the Howahkan with only the hope that his brothers are out there somewhere, alive.

Ehehhe, yesh!
Firefly is one of two series I'm still salty over being cancelled, the other being Cold Case
But at least Cold Case had seven seasons (being cancelled right after important character threads just got started notwithstanding), Firefly... Well it was dragging itself across the floor already when Fox shot it dead
And yeah, we got Serenity, but there was so much more that could've been explored in seasons rather than having to wrap it up in a movie ;n;
