GERALD HENRIKSON is TAKEN
Born and raised in Crestle Cove, Gerry is the eldest of three siblings. His parents were young when he was born and in his early childhood, he had a close relationship with his father. However, this changed in later years, when his father became pack leader and Gerry and his siblings had to share their father with the needs of the pack. The Henriksons are a well-known family in the werewolf community and they have ran the local bar in town for many generations. Being the oldest male, Gerry often feels the pressures of werewolf life and he often worries he wonât become the leader that his father wants. Gerry has never left their small town but he has never needed to. He spent his childhood around the wolves in town and he has many close friends in his local community. After high school he took over the bar. Heâs confident and charming and he feels at ease around people. He runs the place full time and enjoys that part of his life. Everyone who knows Gerry associates him with his bar.
Despite his cheery and carefree attitude in his own life, he worries greatly about his friends and family. He is a loyal man and he will fight for the people he cares about. His younger brother has always pushed boundaries and Gerry is often afraid that heâll go too far one day. Though they have a strong bond and he knows he can trust his brother above anyone else. Gerry has never wanted to be an alpha, he knows the stress and responsibilities his father has on a daily basis. Gerry likes his freedom and heâs an easy-going guy, though his caring personality means he often naturally takes on the role of a leader. He knows being pack leader is the future his father wants for him and part of Gerry wants to please him. He knows his dad wants him to step up and take over the pack. Gerry is a kind-hearted and selfless man and he often puts other people before himself and he would become leader not only for his father but for the protection of his siblings.
For most of his adult life Gerry never really settled down. He worked, he looked after his friends and family and that was always enough for him. He enjoyed harmless flirting and spending his days and nights at the bar, though he knew one day it would naturally come to an end, he was aware that he wasnât getting any younger. However, for a long time, heâd never found the right woman and heâd never enjoyed the pressure of needing to date inside the pack. He knows what pure blood means to the Henrikson bloodline but that didnât stop him from falling in love with a witch, Penny Walker. Penny like him, had grew up in Crestle Cove. He knew of the girl who is a few years younger than him, though they had never really spoken. Meeting was unexpected but he fell for her fast as she did for him.
A few months into their relationship, the girl told him she was pregnant. Gerry instantly knew he wanted the baby with her and he was ready to be a father. Their daughter was born on Halloween and many are certain she carries a strong wolf gene like him. Despite recent events with hunters, Gerry is happy with Penny and their child. He wants to ensure she grows up not knowing the hate he has. With his fatherâs recent passing, the pack has fell to him and heâs had a lot to deal with. Though he is always determined to do his best and look after his family. Heâs always worried about something at the back of his mind, thereâs always the unexpected in Crestle Cove.
