Aleu is the secondary protagonist of Balto II: Wolf Quest. She is an adolescent wolfdog and the daughter of Balto and Jenna, as well as the sister of Kodi, Dingo, and Saba. She is currently the alpha of the wolf pack.
Appearance []
Aleu has physical traits of her mother and father. She is grey like her father, but she has white on her underbelly, paws and lower tail, and in her chest area.
Aleu resembles a wolf more closely than a husky. However, she is said to have a far more wolf-like appearance than her father though this is not entirely accurate. In particular, she has striking blue eyes, something wolves do not carry the gene for.
Personality[]
Aleu is stubborn, energetic and brave, prone to ignoring the directions of her father. She also has a a tendency to do things without thinking. She was disdainful of her wolf blood, though she eventually learns to accept it.
Although she never realized it, Aleu acted more like a wolf than a dog. She had a reputation for being aggressive and had a high prey drive and stronger predatory instincts than a common dog.
Despite a very emotional blow at the hands of her father, the two reconcile at the end of her journey and she remains very closely tied to Balto despite leaving him perhaps forever. Although there is a chance they may meet again someday.
As a pup, Aleu is highly attracted to howling. In her own words, "Sometimes I just can't help myself," Aleu is strong in spirit and leadership, with all the traits a wolf pack could hope for, she is closely bonded with her father.
Though she would never admit it, she loves her father very much although they can get on each other's nerves.
Biography[]
Balto II: Wolf Quest[]
Aleu was born to Balto and Jenna within the same litter as her brother Kodiak. She bore great resemblance to a wolf more so than her siblings, and also acted more like a wolf unlike her more domesticated siblings. As a result, she was never adopted.

Aleu spent a year with Balto and Jenna, believing that one day a human would adopt her for who she was. When she grew up, she scared Muk and Luk when she got on top of them and howled during hide and seek and a hunter took aim at her, mistaking her for a wolf.
Balto was forced to tell Aleu about her wolf heritage, causing her to run away. Balto tries to catch her, on the way he encounters the Totem animals, such as the Fox and Wolverines. Meanwhile Aleu questions herself on what she's doing, running away with nowhere to go, she decides to rest in a cave to get out of the sun that the Raven (Aniu in disguise) helped her find, in the cave. She hears singing, and follows the sound to a large cavern in the back of the cave, she discovers a mouse named Muru who encourages her to find her destiny, by singing the song "Who You Really Are."
Aleu is encouraged and then finding out Muru is her spirit guide, leaves the cave thinking about what he had said. She runs into a grizzly bear also resting in the cave, that attacks her, she runs out of the cave and is cornered at a cliff. When Balto saves her by attacking the grizzly bear, but she refused to return to the life offered with her family at Nome.

Trivia[]
- Aleu's name was inspired from Aleut Archipelago, off the coast of Alaska.
- Aleu had the two real prototypes - a female wolfdog pet of Dev Ross, sequel's scriptwriter, who lived among dogs and felt uncomfortable and later started to live with a wolf pack, and Dev's husband, who was half Native American and didn't know about this until he grew up and went on a journey among Native American culture and relatives.
- In the cover, Aleu has a upward tail like her mother, but it was entirely downward like her father in the rest of the film.
- Aleu is the only one who has blue eyes, despite neither of her parents having any blue eyes, but she also has yellow sclerae, albeit a few shades lighter, like her father. This possibly was an animation error or it may be that Balto and Jenna were recessive for blue eyes and Aleu inherited the homozygous recessive trait.
- In the sequel, Dusty uses Aleu's animation model.
- Aleu and Kodi are the only pups that have a film dedicated to them.
- When howling, Aleu tends to hold up one front paw.
- Aniu became the white wolf after her death and turning into a guardian spirit, making Balto and Aleu part spirits. Also, Dev Ross has confirmed that Aleu inherited her powers from the wolf deity, Aniu.
- Aleu was the chosen one leader from Aniu's prophecy and it was destined; even; before Aleu's birth. Many fans were confused, as to why Nava considered Balto as the chosen one then. The writer of Balto 2, Dev Ross described Balto as "only a part of a greater plan". It means that Balto was born to be a son of the wolf deity and an unknown stray dog only for birthing the chosen one, Aleu.
- According to Dev Ross, Aleu's mate is a wolf, and they had pups.
- Aleu has a strange supernatural power that allows her to have visions of the past or future, as well as read minds. This is seen by her eyes lighting up a bright yellow and falling into a trance.
- Aleu's ears are inconsistently darkened and not darkened throughout the film. As a puppy, in the hunter scene and on the scene where Balto tells her she is part wolf, her ears are the same color as her main body. But throughout most of the rest of the film her ears are darkened like Balto's.
