Name: Dauntay
Honorifics/Nicknames: Daun (isn't too fond of it but doesn't care what you call him)
Gender: Male
Age: Young adult
Size: Medium-Large
Species: Spotted hyena
Eye color: Deep brown
Fur color: Muddy brown
Markings: Black
Scars: Just scratches here and there; nothing of importance.
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, "Free spirit", (with Good tendencies)
General Appearance: Average sized male, about 30" at the shoulder and 110-120 lbs, darker toned than his sis. (He looks like an ungainly wildebeest according to her). He has scruffy ears, chin, and chest. His dark brown mane is shaggy and unkempt, falling down over his eyes. His eyes are a very deep brown, almost black. His voice is somewhat deep, smooth and lulling. Unlike his sister, he speaks with an accent native to their old clan (the lower ranks, specifically), because he doesn't like learning and doesn't care what others will think of it.
Personality: Totally laid back (except when his food's taken from him). Dauntay's easygoing, ignorant, optimistic, and not at all aggressive unless seriously threatened. Doesn't use his brain often, but in the rare moments that he does, wise or meaningful things come out of his mouth. Very few things seem to phase him, and he gets easily distracted and amused.
Strengths: Calm, dependable (somewhat), enduring.
Weaknesses: Lazy, short attention span, capricious.
History: Dauntay was born a few minutes before Raeni, technically making him older and supposedly the wiser and more knowing brother. But this wasn't at all evident the way she ordered him around. Though while she openly defied her elders, he defied them silently – by leaving the upper class he was born in. Since his cubhood he observed how the lower ranking hyenas were worse off and unprivileged and he gave up his status willingly. He enjoyed the company of other males and hanging out with them, and in no time picked up a dialect (as well as a few important lessons) that would stick with him for life.
After hearing of their mother's death and the change of leadership, he tried to find his sister but to no avail. She's been avoiding everyone for a few days and, frankly, he got tired of chasing. Instead, he and his comrades formed a party to bring down the new monarch, who was ruthless compared to Shakeia. Surprisingly, the campaign managed to hold his interest and he was engrossed in doing his part. It took several months to arrange their plan and finally they made a pact with a rival clan to kill but their leader. The other clan found it fishy at first but agreed, realizing that the regime was new and not everyone was happy with it, and so the battle would be easy. It turned into a full out war, taking unnecessary lives and the party fell to it as well.
Dauntay felt it was his fault as well, just being part of it all, and decided to not get mixed up in such things anymore. Being the only one left of his party and not having a care about the rest of the clan, he left to find his sister once more. Feeling guilty for her lack of a home, he resolved to help her find one.
