Darin

Darin Redmane is a border guard of Ironvale.

Appearance
Darin is a tall Therian with a wolf-like appearance. One of his ears are straight while the other is floppy and is pierced with a set of two earrings. His sky blue eyes contrast strongly with his reddish, almost maroon fur, which is rather soft and unruly. He also has a long and fluffy mane of fur surrounding much of his head and neck.

Personality
A carefree and energetic individual, Darin lives life with a "seize the day" mentality and is constantly on the lookout for excitement in his life. An immensely sociable person, he's always willing to engage in conversation or have fun with others. Sometimes however, his boisterous nature can be too much for some people and may overwhelm or vex them. Additionally, his lax attitude may also make it appear that he doesn't take grave matters seriously. In reality though, he simply wants to appear confident and to try and provide moral support for other people.

Darin is also an immensely optimistic person who always tries to see the bright side of situations even if things seem especially bleak, and he's always one to try and cheer people up in an attempt to improve their morale. His immense optimism however sometimes makes him seem a little naïve at times.

While he may appear to be dense to some, Darin is actually quite resourceful and adept at improvising due to his years spent living on the streets. Such a skill has helped him tremendously in surviving in his youth and has even helped him now.

Darin is also a very daring individual who will seldom turn down any challenge directed at him, but his daredevil streak can also make him quite impulsive and thus prone to making rash decisions without thinking things through. Behind his cheery nature however secretly lies a very dependent individual. Darin is extremely afraid of losing people he considers to be friends or family, and as a result may seem rather clingy once he's formed a friendship with someone. At his core however, Darin is a very affectionate and protective person who will always be staunchly loyal to his friends, and he will sacrifice anything in order to care for them.
