Alright here is everything you need to know about purebred wolves. Including inherited abilities that are given. (no need to be shown on your application)
Wolves, as everyone knows, are pack animals. They choose to travel in groups and be with family then be alone and wandering aimlessly. Wolves thrive in a pack, it is easier to hunt, keep clean and protect each other with numbers. But there is more to know about these fearsome creatures other then just that they live in packs. Unlike what most people say, they are not maneaters, but they are not cuddly kittens either. Given the chance they will kill you if you treat them like pets. They are intelligent creatures and here in the world of Renewal they are even smart enough to communicate with humans and blend in to avoid being hunted.
These creatures do not actually alter their forms to blend in and hide from humans; they use a form of illusion to alter the state of mind of any one who looks a them, making them appear human. The one thing they can not hide is their shadow but most humans don't look at others' shadows.
Another common mistake people make when it comes to wolves is how they age. Purebred wolves in the wild do not age as humans do. They only live between the ages of 15 and 17. In their early stages of life they learn to hunt (8 months to 1.5 years) and even younger (4-6 months) their parents teach them how to fool humans. Their illusions that they project show their estimated age that their maturity would be if they were human. Under the age of 1 they would appear younger then 12 years old, from 1 to 3 they look as if they are teenagers and so on. By the time they are 10 years old their projection shows them as elderly, the equivalent of 58 for a human.
Common abilities most wolves share is the ability to use earth alchemy in order to give themselves short bursts of seeming unnatural strength or speed though they are not able to alter the actual earth around them.
Bullet points for quick reference
I may have more to add to this as I think of it or if I get any questions regarding purebred wolves.

Bullet points for quick reference
- Keep with the coat colors of the species you have picked!
- Wolves have natural brown and gold eyes, blue is NOT natural for wolves.
- Wolves travel in packs (most of the time)
- Unless a wolf is too injured or ill to live a pack would never abandon a fully-functional member of the family (pack)
- Wolves age much quicker then humans
- They do not shape-shift. They cast illusions.
- They can use alchemy for quick -temporary- bursts of speed or strength
- Wolves are territorial but will not attack humans outright unless provoked.
- If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask the staff!
