Characters

Furs

Sakura: An anthro wolf/husky mix with white fur and genetic mutation which resulted in her being born with cherry blossom pink eyes which is how she got her name. Sakura looks more like a pure bred wolf than a wolf/husky mix and doesn't trust anyone and is a little on the hostile side. She was always teased and mistreated because of her eyes. She was forced by her parents to wear sunglasses when ever she went out because they didn't want anyone to now that she had a genetic mutation.

Her father sells her into slavery after she refuses to mate with an abusive male that he tried to set her up with. After meeting Kiyo she begins to open up and learns that being different isn't a bad thing. Her feelings for Kiyo grow even more and with a little help from her sister their relationship goes to the next level and they start courting (fur equivalent to dating/engagement) much to her father's disgust.

Julie: An anthro husky/wolf mix and Sakura's older sister. Unlike Sakura who looks like a pure bred wolf Julie is the exact opposite looking like a pure bred husky. The only way to tell that Julie has wolf blood in her is to look at her yellow eyes. As a pup Julie was a text book definition of a horn dog. She was known for her looks and sexual appetite. She was the most popular female in her class and the smartest as well. She was an honor student and graduated at the top of her class. She was also considered a genius as far as IQs went. She was arrogant by nature and constantly put Sakura down and was the family favorite. She even went as far as to steal Sakura's first love which resulted in a nasty fist fight between the two siblings and puts her in the emergency room. A few months later Julie goes to collage and becomes a doctor. Why she quit is still a mystery. Years later Julie makes amends with Sakura and even stood up to her father on Sakura's behalf. She also has a huge crush Kiyo which doesn't go unnoticed by Sakura but she keeps it to herself.

Marin: An anthro husky and Sakura's mother. Marin has a selfish personality and is very shallow and snobby. She is a classic example of a spoiled rich girl. After seeing how happy Sakura and Kiyo were together finding out that Sakura got fixed she starts realizes that she was wrong and decides to find Sakura and apologize to forgive her. Sakura does forgiver her after consulting Kiyo and listening to her heart. She left Ken after he called Sakura a disgrace and tried to hit her.

Ken: An anthro black wolf and Sakura's father. Ken is not by any means a nice guy. He is greedy and only cares about money and his image as alpha. He is also very controlling and will use physical force if the mood suits him. He sold Sakura into slavery just to make a profit and even tried to strike his mate Marin who left him. He even tried to make a deal with Kira. He told Kira he would kill Sakura if he spared him. Kira didn't accept the deal and killed him anyway.

Mira: An anthro red vixen who is the band leader and the lead singer in the band Swift Paw. Mira grew up in a neighborhood where humans and furs lived together but not in peace. The humans and furs in that area hated each other. The humans constantly antagonized furs. They did everything from calling the furs names to acts of extreme violence against them. Because of this the furs were very untrusting and hostile towards humans. Mira was beaten and robbed by humans on a regular basis. But one day when she was sixteen she chased down by a group of armed humans and was saved by a young human male named Jaden. Still shaken from her ordeal she ran off without noticing that she lost her necklace which Jaden returned much to the vixen's surprise.

She lets her suspicion get the better of her and called Jaden a liar and a cheat. She immediately regrets that accusation. After a very emotional apology she becomes best friends with Jaden and the two begin to develop feelings for one another. But before they can tell each other their feelings Mira enrolls in a performing arts school and moves on that same day. She formed the band Swift Paw four years later in hopes of seeing him again. She reunites with him during one of her concerts. She also has a secret. Mira is also a six tailed kitsune. She is only a half breed though. Her mother was a kitsune and her father was an ordinary fox fur. Mira is very out going and extremely friendly. She would give you the shirt of her back if you needed it.

Yoshino (Yoshi): An anthro female Akita who is the keyboard player in the band Swift Paw and the oldest member age wise. (Each band member is in their 20s) Yoshi has the same eye condition as Sakura except her eyes are lime green. Like Sakura Yoshi was always bullied because of her eyes. The bullying got so bad that Yoshi and her family had to move four times because of it. She was mated for a while but left her mate after he called her a freak and cheated on her with stripers because she didn't want to have anymore kids. She also has a son that has not made an official appearance in the story yet. Her sons name is Toshiro. Yoshi is a bit of a computer geek but is a real knockout. She is considered to be the most beautiful member of the band second only to Mira.

Yoshi and Mira are best friends. She met Mira shortly after leaving her mate. Yoshi was part of the stage crew and a huge fan of Swift Paw. After helping the band with some technical difficulties Mira saw she had talent gave her a sheet of music and told her to play it on a spare keyboard that was on the stage.

Yoshi never played an instrument in her whole life. But she played the keyboard perfectly never missing a note much to her own surprise and the surprise of the rest of the band except for Mira. Mira decided to let Yoshi play with the rest of the band in the concert that night much to her delight. After playing the concert Yoshi became an official member of the band. After a few months Yoshi earned enough money to get her eyes fixed but after befriending Mira and the others in the band she realizes that she doesn't want to be like everyone else. All she wanted was to be accepted for who she is. Mira showed her that and she is eternally grateful. Yoshi sees Mira as role model even though she is older. Sakura sees Yoshi as a role model and an inspiration. Yoshi is always calm and but can be very sensitive and even very emotional at times.

Jasmine: An anthro border collie and the guitar player in the band Swift Paw. Jasmine is a real party girl. She is always looking for a good time and is known for being very loose but she would never intentionally sleep with someone who is spoken for. She also has a nasty habit of getting drunk during her heat cycles which angers Mira to no end. Jasmine doesn't get drunk easily and has won a lot of drinking contests. She is a nice girl by nature and fun to be around. She also has a big sense of humor and will laugh at almost any joke. One of her favorite things to do is pull pranks on Mira even though she usually gets her tail kicked by the angry vixen afterwards.

Lucy: An anthro female dalmatian and the drummer in the band Swift Paw. Lucy is very affectionate but a little timid when Jasmine isn't around but when she is Lucy becomes as bold as they come. She is Jasmine's best friends. Unlike Jasmine Lucy is always practicing the drums and writing new songs for the band. Lucy loves to dance and knows a variety of styles including ballet, the waltz and the tango. She is also loves to read. Lucy is a party girl but is not as wild as Jasmine although she will have a threesome with her from time to time. Lucy loves making new friends and just like Mira she will go out of her way to help someone in need. She is also the youngest member of the band.

Rin: A void kitsune sent to kill Jaden. She is only mentioned once in the story so far.

Ace: An anthro wolf/tiger mix and one of the last surviving members of the F.A.S or Fur Assault Squad. Ace is a master in several fighting styles and is a master tactician. By nature he calm and collected but can be serious when the situation calls for it. When he was a rookie he was posted as a security guard at a government conference building. There he met Sora the queen of the reptoids (anthro reptiles). The two develop a little bit of a friendship. One day Ace is stationed at where he spots a sniper targeting Sora and saves her life. After that Sora makes Ace a member of her elite guard and even gives him a place to live when the Furs home world is attacked. Ace comes to earth to rescue Athena and Venus and to stop Kira's plan to destroy the furs once and for all.

The six Dragon Lords

The six dragon lords each belong to one of the six elements water, fire, earth, wind, light, and dark.

Athena: An anthro purple dragoness and the youngest of all the dragon lords. Athena is very curious. When she first came to earth she was a little cold hearted but now she is an absolute sweet heart but is extremely sensitive. It doesn't take much to bring her to tears of joy or sorrow. She is absolutely fascinated with earth's oceans and water ways and loves to explore them. She has the ability to manipulate water and can use this ability to heal any wound, injury, or illness. Like most water dragons she uses her powers more for healing than fighting. One day during an exploration she was cut across her back by a boat propeller and lost a lot of blood. She made her way to a beach where she met a human male named Chase who helps her treat her injury and gives her a place to rest for the night. At first Athena doesn't understand why Chase is helping her. She knew how humans treated the furs and expected to treat the same way. That was when she realized his vision was severely limited. He was almost blind. Athena was touched by his kindness and decided repay him by healing eyes and giving him his sight back. He becomes her closest friend and she visited him every chance she got. That friendship soon turned into love. Her older sister Venus also befriends the human and promises not to tell the others. When Chase is attacked and held hostage by Kira she is forced to kill innocent furs or Chase will die. Athena fights Kiyo's cousin Nancy and brings the human to her knees. Before Athena could finish the job Chase stops her and the two are reunited and move in together. Athena decides to find Kiyo

Pyro: An anthro red dragon and Athena's step brother. Pyro is a hot head in every sense of the term. He is the most aggressive of the dragon lords. He has a bad temper that goes perfectly with his power of controlling fire. He will win a fight by any means and has a huge ego. Pyro fights Kiyo's cousin Nancy but unlike his step sister he couldn't even touch her and is knocked out by the human. Pyro is killed by Venus for telling Kira about Chase and causing Athena extreme emotional pain.

Thorn: A brown anthro dragon and Pyro's older brother. Thorn was a member of the F.A.S before Kira attacked the Fur home world. Ace and Thorn used to be best friends and always watched each others back. Back then he was called Jack because he could make weapons out of rock and metal and many other things. When Kira took over Thorn tried to convince Ace to join him and Ace refuses. Thorn is the smallest of the dragon lord and the strongest second only to Kira. What Ace doesn't know is that it was Thorn who built the F.T.S (Fur Termination System). And that he poisoned Sora. Thorn also beat Kiyo in a fight and would have killed him if Sakura and Venus didn't step in. Thorn controls the earth element and can even manipulate metal. He love to fight and is always looking for a strong opponent.

Venus: An anthro sky blue dragoness and Athena's older sister. Venus controls the wind and unlike Athena she isn't as nice. Venus is a soldier and will follow orders without question. When she was a hatchling Kira would viciously beat her when ever he got bored and that was the only reason he ever did beat her. Venus is a very skilled fighter and a weapons specialist. Venus is very protective of Athena and will kill anyone who upsets her. Venus will never disobey an order but she will look for a loop hole if she doesn't agree with it. A perfect example of this is when she is ordered to guard Chase's house. She is instructed to kill anyone she sees go near the house but Kira didn't say anything about catching someone's scent. When Mira sneaks into the house and saves Chase Venus tells him where to find Athena and keeps her back turned to them the entire time. Venus finally gets a wake up call when she meets Ace. He puts down his weapons and leaves himself at her mercy and Venus didn't have the heart to kill him. She agrees to help stop Kira and save the furs.

Sora: A white anthro dragoness and the dragon queen. She has the power to control light and energy. Sora is Athena's and Venus's birth mother. She used to be mated to a dragon named Hades who was killed by Kira in a mate ship duel (a mate ship duel is when two male fight over the same female.) Kira claimed her right in front of Athena and Venus. Sora is kind and reasonable by nature. Unlike others of her kind she has no problem with furs. She is unknowingly poisoned and gets very ill. When she finally recovers she sends Ace to stop Kira.

Kira: An anthro black dragon and the dragon king. He is Pyro's and Thorn's father as well. Kira is pure evil and he hates furs with a passion. Kira controls dark energy. Unlike a normal dark dragon Kira artificially enhanced his shadow powers which results in him becoming severely weakened after using them. He will do anything to achieve his goal which is to kill every living fur even if it means taking innocent lives. He even threatened to kill Chase unless Athena does whatever he says and even tries to turn Chase against her but he fails. He considers furs as prey and he kills them for sport and nothing more.

Hades: Sora's first mate and Athena's and Venus's birth father. Unlike Kira Hades was a kind king. Hades died after his duel with Kira because of his injuries.
