The Fujiwara family is a royal bloodline that has been around
for generations; all of whom, alive and dead, can trace their origins back to a nomadic storyteller
named Ryu -- the clan's founder. As the Family name describes, the foundation of their home was surrounded by the wisteria -- a tree that symbolizes immortality and continues to be a symbol of their linage to this day.

Physical Traits
- While weight and build can vary from wolf to wolf, members of the family are noted to be particularly leggy individuals that are taller than average, standing anywhere between 34" to 38" tall. Coat patterns and eye color can vary depending on a number of factors such as parental genes, but a dominant trait found in many is monochromatic/greyscale colors. Whether it be a solid color or a combination of them -- these monochromatic/greyscale colors are a dominant trait commonly found in those born within the family. Wolves of opposing, warm colors can also be found within the bloodline, but are considered uncommon in comparison.
Language
- The Fujiwara's mother tongue is real-life Japanese, though not all members of the family speak this language as some may be married into the bloodline. In addition to this, Japanese honorifics are oftentimes used to address one wolf to another depending on their standing and rank within the pack or family. -sama, for example, can be put at the end of someone's name to signify respect when recognizing they are above you in standing -- such as leading figures. You can find more examples of this here.
Culture
- In honor of the Clan’s founding members, the family is mainly known for their storytelling. Weaving age-old tales from mouth to ear after ear, passing stories down from their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and beyond. As a way of sharing their culture to others as well, events were usually held within the clan where storytellers would share tales with all -- even allied packs, as a way to show diplomacy and strengthen their bonds. The stories passed down take inspiration from works of Japanese Folklore, such as stories and accounts of Kami (god/deities), Yōkai (entities/spirits/apparitions), and more. (Disclaimer: The culture revolved mainly around them being storytellers, and it is not a requirement for these stories to be based on Japanese folklore)
