Name: Shani
Meaning: "Crimson"
Age: about 2
Gender: female
Breed: English collie/border collie
Personality: Shani is generally the girl that goes with the crowd, but she is indeed the quiet one of the group. She rarely speaks out and doesn't like to express her opinions on topics for fear of hurting someone else's feelings. She has a soft heart and she appreciates the little things in life. She doesn't lie and doesn't like to be lied to. She tries her best to cheer up those around her that are sad, and will go to great lengths for her close friends. She's a hopeless romantic and a big dreamer. She dreams of finding her night in shining armor one day. She's the kind of dog to go up to someone random and start conversation.
Parents(if any assigned): two herding dogs
Siblings(if present): Viper and one unknown
Mate(past, present): Kobe
Pups: Natasha, Maddie, Prescott ((c) me), Cole ((c) Rush), Kimba and Conroy ((c) Lone), Katia ((c) Animal-Whisperer))
History: Born to a deaf mother, she and her 2 siblings grew up not speaking much, which gave her her silent nature. She was sold when she was five weeks old to a small family. She was given to their daughter for the young 8 year old's birthday. The girl, Kara, and Shani were close and practically inseparable. When Shani was a year old, Kara was sent away to a boarding school and Shani went through a lonely stage. Shani went a few months without so much as hearing Kara's voice. When Kara's interest had changed, as it often does with young children, and Kara wasn't as obsessed with Shani as she used to be. Shani was sad that Kara didn't pay as much attention to her as she used to, so Shani went and explored the streets, which she was allowed to do. She made two friends, whom she became very close to, and the three are constantly walking the streets together. Shani's friends gossip a lot, but Shani just listens, being not much of a gossiper. Shani and her friends often go to the beach, where they talk to other dogs their age. Shani's got guy friends too, some of which she has crushes on, but Shani would never tell anyone. She's just friendly and very open to those she talks to.
Future: She'll end up finding a guy who will become her best friend. Her family will end up moving away, leaving her behind, the the guy will be there to comfort her. They end up growing closer and soon enough they'll become mates.
Why I would like to re-home this character: I love the design. It's just...amazing.
Anything else of interest?: Her ears flop a bit as she gets olde, while as a pup they are straight. 

Relation to Balto: her human was a friend of Rosie's.  Shani also knows one of Dixie's sisters.
