Nivalis is from a small, isolated northerner settlement. It never occurred to him to ask why his pelt was of a much paler color from everyone else in his small tribe, including his parents. He was only told one of his grandparents was a southerner, but no one seemed to care. Its only when he was drafted and left his home that he was treated differently. He was the right proportions, he had the right language and accent, he even smelled right, but his fur wasn't right. Nothing was too overt, other than being passed for promotions or never entrusted with important duties.

One day, he was sent on a patrol in an unimportant area, with a young, freshly drafted male. Being told to teach him the ropes, he did just that. To his surprise, the other male treated him with respect, listening to his advice and learned well. Emboldened, Nivalis pushed his luck. It took some time, and confronting the inexperienced Luik on the third night they set camp. Nivalis had noticed the other male's eyes wandering, so he seized the opportunity to be Luik's first.

Of course he would never admit that it was his first time, too.
