nowkē is a storm-born child, cloaked in the colors of dusk and fire. his coat is a deep, dark red—reminiscent of dried blood and scorched earth—cut through by black that stains his underside, limbs, and face. the mask he wears is stark, shadowed, spectral.

a sturdy-limbed and thick-pawed boy, with a chest already broadening ahead of his years. plush fur bristles at the scruff and tail, dense enough to blunt the northern winds. his ears are large and always perked at attention.

most striking of all are his eyes—brilliant blue, glacial and bright, framed sharply against the darkness of his face. they gleam with the clarity of winter skies, arresting in contrast; a gift from his mother.
