Cashew Lou is an anthropomorphic grey wolf, born and raised in the wilds of the Yukon Territory. He is six feet, five inches tall, his smooth grey coat clean, soft and well taken care of. Although he is not muscular outright, his is a trim and solid build, with a broad chest and powerful arms and legs. A handsome splash of stark white fur runs from his muzzle down his chest and stomach, tapering between his thighs, where the fur is thicker and softer. His thick shaggy tail seems to almost always be in constant motion.

His only adornments are a white stocking cap with a red ball on top and a red Canadian maple leaf embroidered on its front. Around his neck is draped a hunter green scarf.
