At a Glance
regards himself like the living embodiment of one of these edits; frequently acts like he’s on a sugar high. scrawny medic who’d never win a fight. how pitiful.

Profile of Tadashi: Details
Appearance
barely 2' at the shoulder, built like a feather
pale as a dying dove, barring a dark smudge over his right (viewer’s left) eye & a dot just below it; a drip of color in baby blue eyes
collared by scars from an attack he was lucky to survive; somewhat hidden by a year’s healing, but ragged fur betrays the marks under examination
bounds along with a puplike energy, always ready to drop into a play bow or roll over. a scrap of poise is reserved for medical pursuits, the only trace of a royal upbringing
voice swings between conan gray and johan liebert (cw alcohol), context depending, albeit more expressive & energetic than both—unless being a smarmy asshole

Personality
uninhibited liveliness in canine form. has been subdued in waves over the years, but at best tadashi is playful & fun-loving
shamelessly “feminine;” world’s worst candidate for the rough-n-tumble domineering masculinity award
helpless in battle and he knows it; pacifist as a personal choice, not a moral preference. his sister was (is?) a samurai; how could he judge?
never grew up, or so it often seems; quick to fall over himself in self-pity when things don’t go his way
not an idiot; his childish whining isn’t always genuine. all the world’s a stage and he’s curated the role of a harmless fool
i-it’s not like he has attachment issues or anything—though he’ll happily flirt and tease for fun

Biography
2016: SANCTUARY
born march 2016 to the kamiki pack, housed in a japanese wolf sanctuary. as a sickly male, regarded as a bad omen; loved, but sparsely cared for. fondly recalls his sister Minori, the princess general, teaching him the ways of the world; she teasingly encouraged his pacifism, but scolded his refusal to learn to fight. what was the point, he wondered, when he’d never win? instead he tended her wounds with diligence, sharing herbs and knowledge alike.
alas, this and other “differences” made his forthcoming path, away from that of royals or their military, clear. but the Betrayal of higoro, minori’s lifelong betrothed, set hounds and humans upon the pack on the couple’s wedding day. tadashi and his sister were tranquilized and separated; he knows nothing of his other packmates’ fates.

2016–2017: SURROUNDED, ALONE
tadashi spent about a year in what humans would recognize as a zoo, of which he remembers little. he Sulked. they kept him healthy, and fed him more when he behaved. he didn’t need to hunt, didn’t know any others. Miserable.
in spring he was released again. unfamiliar woods, still no family in sight. he may have withered away if not for the sympathy of a traveling female; tadashi does not remember her name. linguistic differences kept their friendship on a short tether, but it was a friendship nonetheless.
she found a mate. he too was Japanese, and told tadashi of the relocation program that shackled them in “southwest canada.” otherwise they related sparsely. the couple’s behavior shifted when tadashi dared to confirm Why he’d never taken interest in the female’s heat; they sent him away before their pups were born. his presence would have been “too difficult to explain.”
disgusting.

2017–2018: HELL WITH BENEFITS
early summer. heartbroken, drifting through fields of poppy. tadashi came to, lying with him. in his delirium tadashi had healed the ghostly man’s wounds; his pack sorely needed a medic. who was tadashi to decline?
it started small. “don’t use that other language so much, it confuses the patients.” “oh, shush, let me do my job~” verbal spars, a teasing tug-o-war.
packmates adored their master and when tadashi heard Concerns, he was to report every word—for improvement’s sake, of course. wanted the best for his pack, wanted everyone to get along.
stress was scattered through flowery fields. sometimes he would even spar, and it was so rough and he should have known, had to know, tadashi didn’t like fighting—“but why not? didn’t you come from a military? some prince you are, darling. don’t look so offended. have some seeds; you’ll feel Better.”
tadashi’s memory of this time is very, very hazy.

2018–2019: FATALE
summer to spring to autumn to winter. he couldn’t leave; they needed him. he wouldn’t survive.
when the season rolled ’round again the whore of a leader seemed hellbent on siring a litter with every bitch who succumbed to that Filthy maw. tadashi would not care for bastard children.
as the sole healer, tadashi had leverage. he took his lover behind the shed stuffed wretched face full full full of nightshade, cried crocodile tears as the fool choked on the fantasy gone right.
shortly thereafter the body was discovered. someone mauled tadashi for his troubles; if not for an interloper, maybe a packmate maybe a stranger it’s of no concern anymore they’re Gone, the attack could have been fatal.
but it wasn’t, and tadashi was free.
no regrets. that sorry waste of life had it coming.

2019–2020: STILL
nature thawed and tadashi healed. he found refuge with a large traveling family, too small for a pack too large for a single generation; they pitied his condition, and as they welcomed new lives they valued his skills. slowly he became Himself again.
but this too was temporary. tadashi still refused to fight, and bonded closely with no one. incoming chills killed the prey, and his presence with the group became more hindrance than boon. still he clung to the group with the determination of autumn’s last leaf.
only when the season warmed again did he bid them farewell. tadashi wondered if Minori were alive, after all these years… his heart aches for familiarity.

he travels south, as of summer 2020. word on the wind promises packs clustered among Teekon. even if minori isn’t there, tadashi seeks shelter through the incoming cold. after all, he cannot survive on his own.

dump of potential thread titles
mostly very moody, no order no gods no masters; bold could be pawprints?
- to rumor up that i’m a fool · won’t like you anyways · with nothing but fickle friends · why don’t you go get your gun · every time you kick me you’re not gonna win me · flip it round, play with yours instead
- i was born to smother you with flowers
- cry me a river til you drown in the lake · i’ll let you think you won / (date in the park) i’ll play it super dumb / holding your hand but in the other one / i’m holding a loaded gun / yeah baby you should really run · can’t play me like your pawn
- he grabs me, he has me by my heart · ready for you · love you but i’m going down · who else is gonna put up with me this way · i need you, i breathe you, i never leave you
- before all hell breaks loose · a song to keep us warm · (you can laugh) a spineless laugh · we hope that you choke
- can i breathe you · your koi boy
- bled into something good · lay into my arms
- it’s all as it should be · you can only do so much · you could place your trust in me · for the love of life · we could lose it all / but we’ll go down fighting · and what of the children · that hiding space, a lonely place · how can the right thing be so wrong · i’ve found mistakes where they don’t belong · they may tear us down / but we’ll go down fighting / won’t we
- hide the danger, hide understanding · i want to know another · hide the changing, hide the framing · i want to see again
- talk on the inside

Hi there! I’m Flyleaf; see Finley’s profile for up-to-date RP info. With Tadashi specifically I’m trying to be looser with timelines and write shorter posts, but no guarantees. We’ll see how this goes :D
