Name: Athena

Age: young- about a year
Breed: mutt- some collie, some sheepdog
Gender:Female

Parents:Supposedly Unknown
Siblings:Bear?! O_o

Mate:none
Crush: Bear xD He's not really a crush, more of her go-to guy, she clings to him alot, and he keeps an eye on her...most of the time.

Personality: An Introvert.She is however a good listener and finds it very hard to argue, being a creature want for peace. Even though she is timid, she prefers staying with friends rather than being completely alone. She has a great need for a "Big Brother/Hero" in her life, and that is why she tends to cling to Bear (she also thinks He might be her brother). She always seems to have a dazed/confused look on her face, and some others think this is just a little annoying, but what goes on inside Athena's head is her past....(see below)


History: Not much is known about her, but supposedly she has a strange, if short, connection to Bear. It's possible they might have lived on the same ranch as puppies.
Athena was adopted by a History Teacher's young daughter, Anya. Anya was born a weak girl and could not keep up with other children. Her father instead got her a puppy to be her playmate. It was love at first sight for Anya and little Athena.
Anya and Athena were very close, always going for walks and exploring. Enjoying the lazy days, and each other's quiet company.
Things were going quite well until winter came. Anya and Athena had gone out to collect wood for their fireplace, as Anya's father was worn out from his work and was locked in a deep sleep. While they were out, a blinding blizzard struck. They struggled to stay warm and find their way back to the cabin. Athena, worrying desperately about Anya, kept a hold of her jacket cuff and stumbled against the wind. By some miracle, they dragged themselves back to the cabin,Athena barked until the father awoke and quickly pulled them both in. The blizzard had taken a more harsher toll on Anya. She was desperately sick and was showing signs of delirium and frostbite. Athena knew her girl was sick and stayed by her side, worrying for her, and offering what comfort she could. A doctor came and tried to help, but it seemed to be too late. Anya was dying. Athena did not know this, but she still kept some hope. Anya only got worse. Anya's father blamed himself for not watching her, always sitting beside her bed, crying. A few days later, while her father was in the kitchen making tea for her, Anya, in a state of hallucinations, got up, stumbled over to the front door, and looked out. Snow was still falling steadily. "It's summer time again.." she whispered to Athena, who looked at her confused, and started to whine. Slowly Anya began to walk out the door and down the front steps. She began to run(more like stumble) across the snow, completely entranced in her illusions. Athena followed her quickly, barking in alarm. Her father ran ahead, shouting desperately for his daughter to come back. Athena gazed into the swirling gray, dazed.
A search party was quickly organized, but Athena had been absently locked into the house. After some time when the snow had finally died down, Anya's body was discovered, but was never taken back to the house. Rather she was taken to the church and buried.
Thus, Athena had no idea that her beloved young girl had passed away. When Anya's father came home, Athena had expected to see the girl in his arms, merely asleep. He came in with his head in his hands and sobbing hysterically. Athena was more confused than ever and rushed outdoors, staring blankly into the gray. She barked and whined and howled for her girl. but no Anya came back...

Why I would like her: Well I've been thinking about a character named Athena for a long time, and I feel this design would work best for her. Simple and pretty ^^ I've got a whole story(future story) worked out for her, depending on how things go in this adoption x3
