Scouter belongs to :iconmionofdeath:. Done using :iconsapphiresenthiss:'s smurf designs.

Info:

Scouter smurf grew as your typical smurf does. He was raised in smurf village, and quickly earned his name- Scouter. As his name might suggest, he is constantly on the lookout for new places and things. He's a free spirit by nature, and as curious and brave as they come. Sadly, that trait wound up getting him in quite a bit of trouble.
One day while out doing what he did best, Scouter happened across a group of hungry cats in the forest. Being the curious smurf that he was, he pushed all common sense aside and went to investigate them. What followed after, was tragic. The hungry cats viewed him as a mouse, and immediately went after him upon spotting him. Not knowing any better than to run to the safety of the village, Scouter led the group of felines right to his home-grounds. From there, it became a battle between smurf and cat to survive. In the end, the smurfs were able to claim victory- but it came at the price of the lives of seven smurfs. The others who took part in the battle, were seriously injured and fearful that the cats would return. Frightened and angry, the smurfs lashed out at Scouter, because he had been the one to lead the cats to the village. That, was when Papa smurf stepped in to prevent further tragedy. Seeing as the leading smurf could sense that Scouter was in danger, and a threat to the village, he banished the curious smurf and told him never to return.
Scouter, heartbroken from the loss, did as was told and took only what he could carry, then he set out into the wilderness alone. However, it didn't take him long to figure out that his exile was a blessing in disguise. He soon discovered that without a village to worry about, he had no limitations. He could do whatever he wanted, and go wherever he pleased. No rules to obey because in the wild, it was truly survivor of the fittest. And fit he became. Free to explore to his hearts content, the smurf build muscles he'd of never been able to develop at the village. He scaled mountains, climbed the tallest trees he could find. He wrestled rats and mice for food- and sometimes made a meal out of them. All in all, he became a happy little rouge. As the years passed, he came to discover that he was growing hair- and despite being curious as to why it was growing, he never dwelt into it. In fact, he rather liked it, so he never bothered to cut it.
Such things aside, he lived his life free and wild. To made himself a spear by fastening a sharp rock to the end of a stick, and he eventually learned how to make his own clothing. He made his own ropes, gathered his own food- shortly after exile he'd taken a liking to black sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, spinach and mustard greens. All of which happened to be the foods which triggered his odd hair growth. Had he stopped eating said foods, his hair would have inevitably stopped growing and fallen out- but he didn't know that. He kept many small bags of food and medicinal herbs on him at all time, and he tied said bags to a sash he made himself. Life was hard, but it was fun- and so, he was happy.

Appearance:

Eyes: Ice blue. Best description is looking at the glaciers of the north.

Skin: A darker shade of blue than average. A result of tanning.

Hair: Dark brown. Runs to the middle of his back because of how rarely he cuts it- and even then, its just a trim.

Extra: He is muscular, but not buff. Just strong enough to wrestle a rat into submission. He acquired his build through years of traveling. He has a number of small scars on his body- most of them on his arms, chest, and abdomen seeing as they are typically uncovered. Most of the scars are just a tad lighter in tone than his skin, so they have the appearance of age marks. He wears clothes made from animal hide, and a leather sash adorned with many small bags of food and herbs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Personality:

Scouter is very open and bold. The type you expect to engage anyone and everyone in conversation. He loves to talk and tell stories of his travels- he even climbs into birds nests to tell the baby birds about his adventures. He's friendly and has very little respect for personal space- until told off at least. He's also very intuitive and easily understands quiet and timid smurfs- hence he'll go out of his way to talk on their behalf.

Only downside is that if you disrespect him, he makes sure to disrespect you in return. He can be very spiteful if you get on his bad side. Things aside, he'll always welcome others to travel alongside him, even if its only for a day or two.

He has a soft spot for birds of any kind, especially birds with colorful feathers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Diet:

His diet consists mainly of black sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, mustard seeds and greens, wild spinach, wild berries and fruits, mice, and insects. He also eats medicinal herbs to keep his health up. He hunts and gathers food whenever the need arises.
He rarely eats eggs, but will out of desperation or if there is no chance of the eggs hatching.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pets:

A Peregrine Falcon named Talon. He found the bird of prey alone and frightened at the base of a tree when it was still a defenseless chick. He quickly discovered that Talon's mother had been killed by poachers, and that he had fallen from his nest while trying in vain to get some food. Being the bird lover that he is, Scouter decided to stop traveling for a bit so he could take care of the chick. He caught as much food as he could to keep the Falcon fed, and he kept him hidden from predators that would make a quick meal out of him. When the bird was finally big enough to fly, he led it to a rocky cliff, where he spent hours encouraging him to try and get used to being in the air. When Talon managed to learn to fly, Scouter decided that he was no longer needed, so he moved on. To his surprise, and delight, the bird of prey followed. The pair have been traveling together ever since.
They sleep cuddled together at night, and whenever it gets cold Talon drapes a wing over Scouter's body so he stays warm.

Extra:

He can also be called by the names Scout and Scoutsy.
