Name:      Saphrina (by parents and most others) Holly (by owners)

Relation to Balto:     CATWHOHAS14TAIL'S FAMILY TREE (Steele's great-grandaughter)

Birth:     1931 in Nome, AK

Parents:    Jade x Kit

Breed:     Mutt (husky, border collie, icelandic sheepdog and wolf)

Personality: She's actually a pretty even mix of her parents. Like her mother, she is very outgoing and her usual kindness makes it nearly impossible to not get along with her. Like her father, she is very loyal and defensive especially when it comes to her family who she'll defend to her last breath. However, she tends to be too curious for her own good and can easily get caught up into something if it catches her eye. And although she's usually kind and sweet, she can turn on a dime and become aggressive and defensive, but it usually takes something big to really get her going. As a pup, she was hyper and scatterbrained, but with age she calmed down a bit and although she's no genius, she's still a pretty sharp-minded girl and can even be wise when she has her moments. Because of what happened to her sister and mother, she's not "afraid" of males but avoids the whole concept of taking the risk of just getting to know them.

Siblings: Clover (half-sibling), Jasper, Jet, Opal, Malachite, Tess/ Pearl and Garnet

Mate:     Solo

Pups:     none

Loves: Her family, her human owners, exploring, seeing new things, meeting anyone new, being able to stretch her legs.

Hates: Anyone who insults her family, being kept inside, being yelled at or being scolded, making anyone sad or angry, most guys.

History:    As a pup, she was a bit of a handful; she wandered off whenever she was itching to see something or her tremendous curiosity got the better of her. She was also a bit hyper as a pup but like most dogs, she mellowed out as she got older. Even as a pup she was pretty quick and nimble and this helped her to dodge wrestling as a pup. Saphrina wasn't the first to be adopted but she wasn't the last either.

     She finds a very comfortable home with a couple who have a young kid and a baby and she is renamed "Hollyhock" or Holly for short. The family lives out on a cattle farm somewhere between Canada and Alaska but besides one neighbor, they basically live in the middle of nowhere. Like Jet, Saphrina also wanted to be a sled dog, but she wasn't too dissappointed when she discovered she was going to be a ranch dog. When she isn't guarding the family's cattle heard, she's scouting around her owner's property. The family obviously has to go to town often to pick up food and other supplies and Saphrina gladly goes along. She gets along with almost everyone but is closest to a group of dogs: Ridge, Trigg, Pilot, Galileo, Loki and Nimbin (who are like her family away from her family) that belong to another family who own a farm on the outskirts of town. Sometimes her owners even go as far to Nome (they have family there) and Saphrina is always overjoyed to see her parents and whichever siblings still live there. 

Other:

How he/she feels about their parents: She loves her parents! She loves her father very dearly and tends to be a bit of an attention hog when she's with her siblings but she's closer with her mother (not meaning she loved her mother more... she loves her father just as much). She wants to be very much like her mother when she grows up since she considers herself to look the most like her mother out of her siblings. Since she was such a handful, her parents were never really far from her, so she never felt left out among her siblings.

How he/she feels about Clover: She adores Clover as well! After all, if her parents like her (and of course they do XD) and love her, that's good enough for Saphrina! So Saphrina treats Clover as if they were litter mates, so she's just as protective, playful and caring about Clover then her other six siblings. When she's old enough to understand what had happened between Jason and Clover, she's extremely protective over her half-sister and is always another ear for anytime Clover wants to talk. Out of all her siblings, Clover is usually the one Saphrina is gets the most excited to see. Jokingly, she says she'd hold down Jason so Clover could beat him up.
