all about me

Lassie isn't as complicated as one would think. He can be quite simple minded. His mind revolves around the pride. What is best for the pride. Of course, he is also always concerned regarding what is best for his mate and daughter. But one does not want to get between Lassie and his pride, mate, or cub. Violence is no stranger to him.

The genetic mutation that has caused him to have a white coat as a jaguar is the reason behind his aggressive nature. He knows when to make his thoughts heard but he doesn't like hearing stupidly spoken words from others when he is in a foul mood. When in a bad mood, it'd always be better to be at least ten yards away from Lassie. Only thing that really calms him down is Mance, Nikki, his mate, and his cub.

Lassie is as loyal as they come. He's a devoted pride member. He believes in the words passed down. He isn't closed minded, but he doesn't exactly care to think differently from the pride. If it's not broken, don't fix it. Or perhaps it's more the aggressive nature needing to be satisfied that he finds more amusement in the beliefs of the pack and the hunt. If they could just openly hunt humans as they pleased, he would have no problem seeing towns disappear off the face of the earth.

He has a deep hatred towards humans, as they're the ones who took his parents away from him. His views on humans are worse than his views on werewolves. If one or two go missing, he'd make sure no one knows it was him. His little play time with humans are few and far between. But they were always more fun to chase down and kill than deer.

Lassie is a giant teddy bear with the younger members of the pride. He's especially gentle with the cubs. He's all bark and no bite. He treasures them and views them as one day able to surpass his generation. He adores children and they don't ever end up on the end of his violent nature. He could never bring himself to hurt a child. And part of that also extends to human children. And he hates that part of him which finds pity in human children.

history.

this is the story of my life

Lassie was first born into the Dennings family. Born one of two, with a younger sister. Like all men, he was traditionally named with a girl's name. The belief that naming a boy with a girl's name would make him stronger. It also didn't help that he was born into one of the families that had been with the pride since the beginning. There was a weight on his shoulders to be the best ever since the day he was born.

He was quick to gain control over his abilities and trained himself to be the best. He wasn't about to let anyone down. As a child, he pushed himself harder than his parents did, probably since they knew Lassie was determined to be the best. That included knowing about the traditions of the pride, especially his parents' views.

They differed from the pride leader's. They were more traditional, more cutthroat. So when Mance snuck around gathering up members to go on a hunt, Lassie jumped at the chance. It was fun. The thrill of the chase and the kill. He would never forget it. After all, it was what led to the change in the pride. A change for the better.

Lassie stood behind Mance when everything seemed to break out and people took sides. He believed in Mance, he believed in what the elder male stood for. He stood for tradition. He stood for the original views of the pride. And it was a sweet victory to be able to call Mance his Alpha. With it came a new order to rankings.

Although young, his strength, ability, and knowledge made him the perfect right hand man. Being Beta, he knew he should be the voice of reason. But he never saw anything wrong with the ideas Mance pitched. He knew how to analyze things and nothing has ever set off red flags yet. No. He would defiantly speak up, especially after his daughter was born.

But he liked the constant moving, the constant relearning. He was able to just study the humans, dreaming up new ways to kill them. To not become just a killer, he took to writing and actually became slightly accomplished. The funds from the book being put forward to offer the pride with things needed, such as clothing, medical supplies, etc.

Seven years after Mance taking over as Alpha, and everything is just as Lassie has always dreamt the pride to be. Everything he always wanted to see the pride be. He has held Beta male since the beginning, his ways of keeping the pack in line working every time. To him, it's Mance's way or death. He has no wishes of challenging the Alpha nor branching out. He's quite content where he is and has no interest in change (except maybe for the change of location).

Lassie is quite excited on their new move to Beacon Hills. He can't explain it, but he's sure this will be the most exciting place yet.
