Name: Lape
Gender: Male
Rank: Alpha
Appearance: Lape is a red fox. He is rather large, being made of muscle and height. He is taller than most of the other foxes. He has large pointed ears, and they are rounded near the bottom. They are black on the backside. Lape has short red fur that grows longer in the winter. He has a white belly, chest, and the insides of his back legs are white. His legs are quite long. He also has a white tail tip, and his bottom jaw is white. Lape has a long, bushy tail. He has huge paws. They are twice the size of a normal fox’s paws. Lape has yellow eyes that are the color of the sun. They are large and show a lot of his emotions. This fox has a long snout, and his nose is black. Parts of his snout have white fur, some have red fur, and others are speckled with black. Lape’s two front legs have black “socks” (do you know what I mean?) that go up half his leg. Lape is a beautiful, strong fox.
History: Lape never knew his parents. He was abandoned at birth, and he had no sisters or brothers. Later, it was discovered that his parents and siblings were killed by a badger. Lape grew up in Fox Clan and never gave his parents another thought. But, one day, when Lape was hunting, he came across a badger. Because some of the other foxes saw it eating his parent’s corpses, they knew what it looked like and described it to him. Lape immediately knew that this was the badger that had killed his parents. Seeking revenge, the fox jumped onto the badger’s back. The beast was massive, and Lape wasn’t sure if he could take him on, but he kept attacking it anyway. After much biting and clawing, the badger lay dead at Lape’s paws. So, Lape got his revenge for his parent’s and sibling’s deaths. Other than these events, Lape has had no other notable history.
Personality: Lape is a noble fox. He helps all those in need, from the smallest kit to the oldest elder. He is a kind, truthful being who never lies or harms anyone. He puts his Clan before himself, and would die to save any fox that resides in it. He is an adventurous animal, and loves to explore. He discovered many parts of Fox Clan land. This gentle fox loves to play with the younger foxes, and often has play-fights with them. Lape has never let his Clan down. He is smart, cunning and witty. Thus, he is a superb hunter and excellent at making up strategies for battle. Lape carries himself proudly. He does not sulk. He steps very lightly, so sometimes he enters camp without notice. His strong, low, voice represents his bold, powerful nature. Lape is loved by everyone in his camp, and is great at making people laugh. This fox is a kind, noble spirit who is a role model to everyone.
Role Play Example: A warm autumn sun lay overhead. The blazing red leaves matched Lape the Fox Clan Alpha’s rusty colored fur, which was getting much longer for winter. Lape’s amber eyes flitted back and forth, seeking out prey. Finally he saw it. There, to his right was a large brown mouse. Lape slowly, silently crouched down to a stalking position. He began to inch forward, his paws not making the smallest sound. This fox was a seasoned hunter who could catch almost any prey. A breeze ruffled his fur and sent a waterfall of leaves cascading down on the ground. The mouse went rigid for a moment. Lape froze, his breathing quiet and quick. When the mouse relaxed, so did the hunter. But the mouse should have run. Lape pounced on it, killing it quickly. The fox took a moment to thank his ancestors for the mouse, and then began to dig a hole to bury his kill in. When he finished digging, he plopped the mouse in and filled the hole with dirt. Then, the silent hunter walked towards a large rock, ready to hunt more prey for his Clan.
