Bjorn is an extremely friendly and outgoing wolf with a deep love for everyone around him. However, he does have a learning disability which leaves him vulnerable to manipulation and lies. He often needs things shown to him multiple times, and explained very clearly, for lessons to stick. But he is eager to please and wants to do good and make everyone proud.
Pre-Group History:
Bjorn grew up in a small pack in a tundra. He had only a single sibling in his litter, and was the biggest and strongest of the two. And also the greediest when it came to food. Without even thinking, since he was just a tiny pup whose only concern was food, he repeatedly pushed his sibling out of the way to get milk, until eventually his sibling simply died. As a result, his mother and father have always felt uncertain of him, and while growing up Bjorn knew something was odd, he never quite understood why. His relationship with his parents seemed so different compared to others. It didn't help that as a youth he was prone to getting into trouble, either through wandering too far, angering some creature, going places where he shouldn't... and every time his parents begrudgingly saved him and lectured him about being careful, only for it to go in one ear and out the other. Bjorn simply didn't understand.
As he grew into adulthood, the pack thought that maybe all of the trouble he'd gone through would be worth it as he quickly showed some amount of talent in hunting. At least, he was strong enough to take down most prey, even if he wasn't the best at following directions. The period in which he got to hunt for his pack was the best of his life, and slowly others thought maybe they would try to be friends with him. One was a younger female, named Thyra, who he was able to relate to more than wolves his own age. They became good friends, playing and joking around frequently. However, a day came when Bjorn and Thyra were playing together, and Bjorn, being so much bigger than his smaller companion, forgot his own strength. After allowing Thyra a moment to pin him and think she'd won at wrestling he turned around and tried to pin her, but he put too much weight into it, too fast -- little Thyra's spine snapped.
She didn't die, not right away. And Bjorn never got a chance to see her die. She was taken away by her parents, where over the next few days of trying and failing to save her, they'd eventually put her out of her misery. Bjorn, however, had his fate sealed immediately. With one death on his paws, and now seemingly a second, despite neither being intentional, they decided he simply could not be allowed to stay. Yet no one could bear to simply chase him away or kill him. Instead, his mother and father took him for a walk. They walked for a few days, far away from the territory, before eventually stopping.
"Bjorn, dear, I'm really hungry," his mother said. "I think I smell a deer that way. Can you go get it for me?" Bjorn, of course, eagerly obliged.
He didn't find a deer. But he did eventually catch a rabbit, which he quickly tried to bring back to his supposed hungry mother and father. Only, they weren't there anymore. He tried to follow their scent trail, but it went into a river and disappeared. He returned to where they'd disappeared and waited. And waited. And waited.
Eventually he decided to try and find his own way home. But his parents had taken a confusing route. He got turned around, and in the end, wandered into Arkat.
