History :: Crista was born in Fairbanks.  Her father was a sled dog so he was away for much of her childhood and she was never very close to her mother.  The husky only had to live with her first family till the age of 9 weeks old when she was adopted by a new family during their visit to Fairbanks.  They had simply gone to look at puppies with no intent on adopting, but fell in love with Crista's looks and promptly bought her to add to their family.

For the first few months Crista proved to be a very smart dog, being very easy to train and extremely easy-going.  After her first year she started to explore Nome a little more on her own, getting to know the other dogs in town.  It didn't take long for the young dog to quickly establish popularity among the others and even gain herself a few suitors. Crista would often flirt with them, but never felt an attraction towards them.

Around the time she was three a new husky, Taluas, moved into Nome with his brother Luca and their human.  At first Crista felt extreme distaste for Taluas.  He was very cocky and arrogant.  On occasion he'd even follow Crista from a distance as if interested in her which she found very annoying.  It ended up being just that that saved Crista one night when two large malamutes cornered the smaller husky.  Taluas chased them away, being the first dog that actually showed he cared about Crista.

After that, the two quickly became good friends, eventually becoming mates.  Many of the other males in town were full of jealousy that the newcomer ended up getting the girl.  After a few months she gave birth to only a single puppy due to complications.
