-Lineage-Past, Present, Future-
Parents: Both pack wolves, whom were deprived several pups including Thornton by death or capture by humans.

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
-History-
How did your character get here: Human capture.
Struggles and hardships so far? Dogfighting
Easy or difficult til now? Difficult
Forced down this path or was it their choice? Forced
Any regrets? Thornton feels some responisibility for Ardal's death, and often wonders whether he could have saved his brother.
What special circumstance have shaped them into who they are? Being captured by humans and forced to duel other animals to the death.
-The Mental-
Physical goals: To defeat the opposition. There are 'regulars' that fight often that Thornton has to analyse for weakness, and there are 'Unknowns', new fighters that may have performed elsewhere.
Psychological/emotional goals? Survive each day.
How does the character deal with anger? Not particularly well. Anger for Thornton is long-held, and not easily abated.
Sadness? Thornton has a certain indifference to sadness, notwithstanding thoughts of Ardal, and his parents.
Loss? Thornton has a remarkable indifference to deaths outside his own family. Friends in his world tend to be very transient, either moving on or getting killed. This occurs so often he is desensitised to his playmates dying.
Thinking or feeling:
Ruled by emotion or logic or a combination: Both. He can start trouble through emotions, but when it comes to competition he is a very calculating pup.
Self centered, selfish, or selfless: Selfish. Selflessness does not get anyone anything, in Thornton's view. It is a struggle to become superior to all others.
Generous or stingy: Stingy.
Polite or rude: Both. He knows whom to be polite to, and whom needs no special treatment.
Forgiving: Rarely. Thornton holds grudges for as long as his memory allows.
Patient: Thornton is both patient and impatient, depending on what suits the situation. Usually, if there's some reward at the end of patience, he will choose it
Educations, learning, or training: Self-taught fighter, through observation, though picks up hints off older dogs.
Most hated activities: Swimming.
Most enjoyed: Sleeping.
Sense of humor, style of(light hearted, cruel, etc.), or lack of: Very black sense of humour. Death, bawdiness, and disgust can all be hilarious to him.
What makes your character laugh: A well-set up joke, practical jokes.
Who does your character look up to: Older, more experienced dogs.
-Attitude, Morals, Beliefs, etc-
Attitude towards...
Self: The most important thing to look after.
Friendship: It's very short-lived, most of the time. Other pups are either killed in fights, starved, or taken away by other humans.
Rank/job: He wants to keep his status going ever higher.
Other species: Something different to eat.
