• Nationality: American
• Ethnicity: Russian
• Place of Birth: the Moss-Woods Rehabilitation Farm in Waino, Wisconsin
• Sexuality: Heterosexual
• Gender: Male
• Species: Samoyed Demi-Human

Physical Appearance: Average height (5'10"), long white hair, thick hair, large white dog ears on his head, long fluffy white dog tail, fair skin, pink lips, sparkling brown eyes, long nails, naturally warm body temperature, a deep voice that doesn't match his soft, gentle features (similar to Lee Jae Wook's intonation and sound), calm demeanor.

Artem was born and raised on a small farm in Waino, Wisconsin called the Moss-Woods Farm. The farm raises crippling and lonely livestock, such as wounded sheep, neglected cattle, underweight pigs, and sickly horses. Artem belongs to a rather large litter, with 4 sisters and 2 brothers. His parents are both working and show dogs, often sledding and herding other animals on the farm during the autumn and winter months, then modeling during the spring and summer months.

Personality: Artem is timid yet cautiously curious—intelligent, affectionate, and silly once he feels comfortable. He avoids meddling with things he doesn’t understand, but that doesn’t stop him from being intrigued. Instead, he’d rather wait for someone else to test the waters first. Independent and highly intelligent, he has a sassy streak, often side-eyeing anything he finds odd, weird, or outright stupid.

Despite his sharp wit, Artem is warm and friendly, eager to meet new people and explore unfamiliar places. He dreams of venturing beyond his family’s farm to see the world. Whether it’s long walks, traveling with his sisters, or cooking alongside his mother, Storm, he cherishes these moments of connection.

Sweet-natured, independent, and gentle, Artem thrives on attention and has a natural inclination to please others. He is a jealous lover, and strongly dislikes it when his person isn't paying attention to him. His love languages are receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch. Artem has a particular weakness for sweets—especially vanilla ice cream. Unlike his brothers, he prefers lounging outdoors in any season, even summer. And while he avoids strenuous work like hunting or herding, you’ll often find him in the kitchen, helping his mother and sisters.

Relationships:

• Owners: Sebastian Moss & Zara Woods. Both Deceased. Two eager, demi-human breeders who bred demi-humans illegally in Odayaka. After getting caught, they moved to the United States to continue their breeding practices. After the successful breeding with Yukon and Stormy, and Stormy becoming pregnant, word got out about the couple. The locals were furious, initiating an immediate removal of the pair from the country. However, once the law enforcers showed up at the small farm, the two mysteriously vanished, leaving a pregnant Stormy and a confused Yukon in the home. Since then, Yukon and Stormy, along with their family, have been under the distinct protection of the townsfolk.
• Mother: Stormy Ivanov, also known as Storm, age 48, is a lean and beautiful, purebred Samoyed demi-human, with a perfectly clean pedigree to match. Glistening coat, clear brown eyes, and the pride of the family. She owns several modeling medals, and is ultimately the bread winner of the home. She rarely works with her husband on the farm, preferring to prepare the food than to hunt.
• Father: Yukon Ivanov, age 45, is a round and robust purebred Samoyed demi-human, with the strength to haul a sled by himself. Though he hasn't won as many awards as his wife, he is still a tall and strong individual, with the strength to take down a moose and win.
• (4) Sisters: Annika, Irina, Kira, and Solstice. All four sisters are in modeling shows, but Irina is the only one who has won medals. Kira prefers studying, with a dream of leaving the farm and moving to Canada to further her education in Veterinary Sciences and Medicine. Annika prefers staying at home, helping her mother clean and cook meals. Annika is the oldest, and often spoils Artem and her brothers with the most amounts of meat, despite her mother's scolding. Solstice prefers hunting with her father and her brothers. She is an expert tracker, and an even smarter hunter. She is quick on her feet, but reckless, giving Yukon mini panic attacks.
• (2) Brothers: Nikolai and Viktor. Both brothers are pro-sledding dogs, earning various medals and awards for their work. Their dream is to one day compete in the Olympics. Nikolai and Viktor are both excellent hunters as well, teaming up against prey that almost mimics ancient practices. They aren't as tall and robust as their father, but they are bigger than Artem.
