--------------------------------

Personality: Claudette is a very sweet girl, but also extremely shy and timid just like her father, maybe even more so than him. Her self confidence isn't on the highest level, she's the type who overthinks things and worries way too much about what others might think of her, which makes it very difficult for her to allow herself into making new friends and building relationships. This is why she usually doesn't like interacting with strangers too much, and prefers to stick close to her family, though sometimes her siblings or parents "drag" her to the town with them. Claudette has a soft spot for children however, and she loves playing with them, and she is also very protective towards them.

Likes: Her family, Yamato, playing with children, being alone, daydreaming.

Dislikes: Big crowds, having to go the town, her shyness, bullies, violence.

----------------------------------

Story: Claudette was the second youngest pup in Aslak and Felicie's litter. She took mostly after her grandfather Jean-Claude, and was therefore given the name Claudette in his honor. Ever since she was a pup, she would always choose to stick close to her parents rather than go play with her siblings, and as they were all adopted, she clearly showed no sign of wanting to leave her father's side, so Aslak's owner, Mr Karlsson decided to keep her, and she grew up in their house. Claudette would often go meet up with her mother in the boiler room after her runs, catching up and pouring her heart out to her, and they were always very close together. One day, she decided to atep out of her comfort zone and go for a walk in the town - alone. But almost right after, she was approached by some male dogs who attempted to flirt with her, she tried to run but they cornered her. Luckily, just then, a striped and silver coated Akita appeared to the scene, and managed to chase the sinister males off. Claudette blushed and bit her lip as the Akita approached her with a smile, and he was the most handsome dog she'd ever laid eyes on. He introduced himself as Yamato, and after a very brief moment of awkvard silence, Claudette managed to tell him her name as well. They started hanging out more often, and Yamato was the first one outside her family that she didn't feel awkvard or uncomfortable with, and someone she could be herself with, and soon found she was actually falling head over heels in love with the Akita. The feeling turned out to be more than mutual, but sadly, Yamato's father was very strickt and absolutely loathed the idea of his son going out with a mutt like her. He wanted Yamato to become mates with another pure bred Akita, and so the two had to continue seeing each other in secret.

Relation to Balto: Balto and Jenna's great granddaughter.
