Name: Rouge
Alias: Rou (rue, as in ‘rueful’)
Age: Two Years
Breed: Golden Jackal
Weight: 25 lbs
Size: 35 inches in length, 17 inches at the shoulder.
Description: Rou, like all of her kin, has a short, rather coarse coat that varies in color depending on the season. During the rainy months, her coat is more of a grizzled brown, mottled with small caramel-gold flecks, which tend to flare over her hips and faintly across her face, like a smattering of freckles, though the ones over her hips are… well… let’s just say they add to the entire package. During the dry months, however, her entire pelt goes to a muted gold, the ‘freckles’ gone, though the flecks over her hips can still be seen, if one looks closely. She is very pretty, and it’s obvious that she knows it, simply because of the manner in which she holds herself.
Personality: Rou, like all jackals, thrives in an openly monogamous lifestyle, though she has no mate, as of yet. She is intelligent and highly curious, often times asking herself the question ‘what’s this?’ She knows she’s pretty, however, and brings attention to herself, both in bearing and in the way she uses her tail. She has remarkable control of it, and knows how to ‘bush’ it and make it appear to be living, liquid gold, using it to draw attention to the flecks over her hips. She is usually very calm and poised, though can be given to bouts of hyperactivity. She is a good hunter, able to capture a gazelle fawn by herself, but is also very edgy about being all on her lonesome, and as such will often scavenge on the remains of a lion’s kill, though she does so after the lion has moved on, OR after showing respect to the pride and offering to pick off vultures if they will allow her a small scrap of food.
Pack: Darkflash- Fallow Prairie pack
Rank: Leader
Family: Darkback (F, D), Selene (M, D) Sunflash (SM, D), Suntail (S, D), Sunback (B, D), Suncatcher (S, D)
History: Rou is the only pup remaining from Darkback and Selene’s litter. Following Selene’s death, Darkback met and mated with Sunflash, which gave them a new litter of pups. Rouge acted as their helper, staying in the small, close-knit family group, helping to aid her father and stepmother as best as she could. However, while she was away on a hunt, a vicious group of hyenas came through, and, though they would have normally been able to coexist, the hyena’s were starving. Apologizing, the clan decended on the family, killing the pups, their father, and Sunflash was barely alive when Rouge returned. While dying, Sunflash instructed Rouge to say she was part of a family pack called Darkflash, and then breathed her last.
Her daughter became a wanderer.
