Personality

Samir is a mellow fellow who loves a peaceful and quiet life. She can be reserved and nervous when meeting strangers, but towards those she cares about she is loyal and responsible, even self-sacrifing. She genuinely likes to help others and has rather good organizational skills and a logical way of thinking. On the other hand she can't handle pressure, is afraid of being judged and does almost anything to avoid conflicts. She's also about as charismatic as a wilting potato, making her sometimes seem suspicious and awkward to others, despite her really being a very sincere creature.

Appearance

Samir is a large wolf in every sense of the word: she's fluffy, tall and overweight with a somewhat masculine demeanor. Her fur is mainly warm grey with white and brown markings (the stripes on her forelegs being the most notable ones) as well as brown mane. She has long claws, over-bending joints, one scar on top of her left eye and a small black dot by the left side of her mouth. She is practically always seen wearing a pendant made of gold and ruby.

Life

Samir was born into a small family pack where she spent her fairly short childhood. Life was often full of struggles and even death (she received her grandmother's pendant after she had passed away) but the pup did have a few relatives whose company she did genuinely enjoy and who she has very fond memories of. After growing up Samir left the pack and lives nowadays as a loner nearby a remote lake.

Tidbits

• Samir has one younger brother.
• She has great sense of smell but bad eyesight.

About the character

• Created in 2004.
• The oldest version of Samir was a character in my original comic, which isn't available on Internet. Later she has appeared in Andriaana: Ultimate Escapade -comic an in Lauma-forum's shenanigans.
• When I first realized that "Samir" was an actual male name I would've wanted to change it to Samira, but there was a Finnish comic character of the same name back then. That's why for a while I used Samires as her official name instead. Nowadays she's once again just Samir, as I stopped caring about such things.
• These days I use Samir mainly as my fursona and a general vent art subject.
