FULL BODY PIC (c) TO WWM!

Name: Loretta (Will later be changed to Atari, even though Atari is usually a male dogs name it will be explained in her personality/history, after she is renamed Atari her nickname would be Ari)

Age: 3 even though she acts alot younger she gets mistaken for a one or two year old.

Gender: female

Breed: Mix of some kind of terrier with a brindle boxer. Probably either a smooth fox terrier or a Jack Russel Terrier or something along those lines.

Personality: At times Loretta can be very bi-polar and have wierd mood swings. At first she can be a very motherly type since her mother wasn't always around (explained in her history) so she would look after her younger siblings and almost be like a second mother to them. And since she was a mother figure it came along with motherly instincts such as being overrprotective or extremely kind and caring. But then she can swing around to be extremely stubborn and take out her anger on everyone else. She isn't really the type to show to many emotions such as being depressed or sad so when times like that come instead of handling the situation maturely she runs away from her emotions, usually bottling them up and not telling anyone. But then again Loretta can be very optimistic and always looking at the bright side of things. It almost seems like Loretta can't decide what she feels so she has many different personality traits that don't correspond with one another so she can be a very confusing dog. But she can also be very blonde and bubbly.

Parents(if any asigned): Lorettas memories about her parents are very vauge and fuzzy, not to many happy memories that made her want to remember. But she does remember that her father was the brindle boxer and that her mother was the terrier

Siblings(if present): six siblings including her, all of them unimportant except for her older brother Atari, other than that she had four little sisters and one younger brother.

Mate(past, present): none yet

If not, then a Crush?: as of right now she doesn't have one since she mostly hangs out with Jazz and Jazz is a girl so yeah, but she'll probably get one soon.

Pups: none but she really wants pups

History: Loretta's mother was a proffessional show dog, a pure bred, a dog with quality and stature. So her breeding with a pure bred brindle boxer was a mistake. But thats what her new owner did for a living. After her mother's owner died of a heart attack her mother who's name was Cara was put up for adoption and was adopted by a woman who bred dogs together to make dogs like labradoodles or puggles. But she would always make sure to give the pups to a good home. So Cara was bred with a brindle boxer named Husk and had a larger litter of six puppies. Of the six Loretta was the second oldest and the oldest was her big brother named Atari. After the puppies were older and no longer needed their mothers milk, their owner would take Cara to more dogs shows since she had so much success with her previous owner. So naturally Loretta was in charge and took on the motherly role. Her mother or father were barley around so that why Loretta never had such a good relationship with them. Soon it was adoption day, and all of the pups were adopted off except for the youngest male and youngest female, their owner planned to keep them for future breeding. Thankfully Loretta and Atari were adopted by the same family, but they did not enjoy their home one bit. The family had 5 kids all under the age of 10 so it was always loud and noisy and they never got attention since the parents were always taking care of the kids. So Loretta and Atari ran away, digging a hold under the fence in the back yard. They didn't know where they were going to go but planned on living on the streets instead of finding another owner. So they decided to travel to the next town so their owners would be sure not to find them. To get to the next town the dogs had to cross a busy highway. Atari offered to go first but Loretta thought that they should keep walking until they found a bridge over the highway. But Atari was just as stubborn as Loretta was and so he finally convinced her to cross there. Atari went first, sprinting across the highway. Just as he got to the other side he turned to watch Loretta cross over and thats when he got hit. Loretta dashed over to make sure that he was okay and saw blood pouring out of his side. The person who hit Atari stopped and got out of the car, rushing over to the siblings. She gently picked up the dazed Atari and put him in the backseat. Loretta tried to follow but the person seemed to not notice she was there, although Atari was going to get help Loretta felt depressed that she was getting sepparated from her brother, he might even die! But the last thing that Atari said to Loretta was 'if I live...I'll find you..." he promised, making Loretta feel better. After that Loretta went into an odd and unusual state of depression, even though she made it to the town she didn't care because Atari wasn't with her. Soon she met another dog named Jazz, they just happened to run into each other one day after Jazz was running away from a couple male dogs that she had picked a fight with. After Jazz introduced herself and asked Loretta's name, she automatically said that her name was Atari. Jazz of course didn't know the difference. The two hit it off right away and became instant friends. They leared alot about each other and one day Jazz told Atari about her past. Strangely Atari felt extremely relieved but also guilty. She had lived like her life was the worst thing ever but she had just met someone who had it ten times as bad. Atari started to pity Jazz and felt extremely selfish for thinking that she had it bad. Thats when Atari told Jazz about her brother, and how she had given herself his name. After that Jazz went on normally but Atari began to pity Jazz even more and more and couldn't understand how Jazz could look so happy all the time after losing so much. But soon Jazz approached Atari because she had noticed how she had acted different around her. After that the two's relationship grew more and more and they formed a sort of gang.

Future: Atari will continue to live with Jazz and add more dogs to their "gang" she will probably end up falling in love with one of the male dogs that joins and will maybe even be reunited with her brother again someday. Atair wants pups really bad so she's definatly going to have a mate and pups somewhere down the road.

Why I would like to re-home this character: First of all Loretta's design is beautiful! It caught my eye right away and the story followed shortly after. Plus Jazz needs a companion, the poor thing has no friends or family and needs someone that will be there for her and care about her. Also i've never had a boxer OR a terrier character and a mix of both of them is SUPER creative! I love it! I also am quite short on female characters and Loretta/Atari would be a PERFECT additon to my characters!
(Plus I REALLY love her tail! I don't know why but its super cute! ^_^

Anything else of interest?: Here I thought you might want Jazz's character page! Other wise nothing to special right now: http://baltosource.timduru.org/en/chars ... /6178.html

Picture: SOON! I'm almost done now I just need to color it.
