In his lupus form, Attila is handsome and thin, growing into a lightly muscular build. His fur is an off-white shade, though a motley of whites, tans, and creams dot throughout his pelt. As the white fur nears his feet, it fades to a slightly darker gray. The boy's eyes are a bright, icy blue, strikingly captivating and subtly romantic in his gaze.

     When shifting to Luperci, the boy wears a light indigo bandana at the ridge of his hairline, where pure white curls cut at his eyes wave. The rest of his white curls twirl past his shoulders, often bound by a gold ribbon into a wild ponytail that rests on his neck. He wears a thin, found sweatshirt, zipped open to reveal his bare, furry chest. What he wears for pants is barely striking, but the baggy black fabric also houses several large, roomy pockets up down the leg.

     Attila was a bully to his siblings since the beginning. Teasing, mocking, and otherwise tormenting his older siblings became a way of life. He and his brothers and sisters grew with plenty of freedom, raised by their mother and primarily uninterested in their father. The boy was never terribly strong, growing with lean but light muscles -- instead learning to use his mind to get his desires rather than his strength.

     In an accident as a pup, Attila knocked a baby barn owl from its nest in a barn ceiling. It fell and broke its wing; the boy panicked and took it with him, unintentionally adopting the small owl that now nests on and off in the boy's hair, unable to fly flail fly more than a few pathetic feet at any given time. It has yet to be named, apparently. The boy meet his actual spirit guide while on a two-day journey outside the tribelands: a grizzly bear named Markku.

     Stemming from his bully-like tendencies in his youth, Attila has grown to become a sly creature with a mean streak of manipulation. Having learned that the powers of the mind are as strong as that of muscles, Attila began to act accordingly. Unafraid to do what is necessary to get his way, the boy learned how to easily woo women with his natural charm while at the same time learned how to talk his way out of nearly anything. Arrogant, slick, and conceited, the boy stops at nothing to talk his way into what he wants: clearly, inherited somewhat from his father. On top of it all, he tends to sleep a lot as well -- with or without women. In the end, he does have a good heart, and is not without sympathy or mercy; he is capable of being a hero and is cooperative and kind more often than not. He respects and cares deeply for his mother (but moderately less for his siblings), but knows nothing about his father.

Spirit Guide:
   NAME. Markku (Scandinavian, "rebellious")
   SPECIES. Common Barn Owl (tyto alba), formerly a grizzly bear (ursus arctos horribilis)
   DIMENSIONS. On the small side: 35cm.
   APPEARANCE. Typical barn owl in appearance: pale, ghost-like face in the shape of a heart, auburn feathers and a white underbelly. Its left wing is irregularly bent, evidence of an early break that never fully healed; the wing's tips drag on the ground and do not tuck into the body as per usual. The owl cannot fly.
   PERSONALITY. Markku is more sarcastic and to-the-point, unlike Attila. While knowing right from wrong, Markku believes it best for Attila to have experiences of all kinds, thus he often leaves the boy to his youthful, sometimes misguided tendencies and sometimes even encourages them. Their relationship is similar to that of an apprentice and mentor.

     Attila's original venture to find his spirit guide lasted only two days. In a small, sunny meadow outside AniWayan borders, he was set face to face with a large grizzly. After misunderstandings were cleared, it was discovered that this bear, named Markku, was his original spirit animal. However, his barn owl companion -- Attila had adopted as a baby after knocking it out of a roof and breaking its wing -- was unfortunately killed by a hungry fox. The wolf, though able to save the poor bird's body, revealed his soft spot when he mourned and blamed himself for its death, having been distracted to protect it. Markku, seeing the boy's attachment to the owl, changed his form into the less bulky bird shape and continued to guide from there.
