No, you don't belong here Papa. You belong home, with my mother. But I do belong here; it's my destiny.
— Aleu to her father

Aleu is the protagonist of Balto II: Wolf Quest. She is an adolescent wolfdog and the daughter of Balto and Jenna, as well as the half sister of Kodi, Dingo, and Saba. She is currently the alpha of the wolf pack.

Appearance []

Aleu is a mix between 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. She resembles a wolf more than a husky.

Aleu 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[]

She's very stubborn and brave, prone to not listening to her father. She was also 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. It is unknown how she developed her prey drive as neither Balto nor Jenna possessed a prey drive. 

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 though sometimes they can get on each other's nerves. Aleu is very outgoing with a tendency to do things without thinking.

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.

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."

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 became adult and went for 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.
  • 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.
  • Aleu’s voice actress, Lacey Chabert, also voices Eliza Thornberry in The Wild Thornberrys franchise and a young Vitani in The Lion King ll: Simba’s Pride, which is also a franchise’s sequel.
