Thanks I'm glad you liked it, sorry I haven't been able to get back to you, my internet has been acting up so I've been limited to getting online once a week now! Rahulik is so fun to draw, I have some sketches drawn up, but haven't scanned anything yet.

Breezestarbuck - By the way, it's July 31st right there and I have to say that you got Rahulik!

Oh yay! Thanks so much! He is so awesome I can't wait to get a reference sheet out together for him!

Hmm....these are interesting characters. I miiiiight try for Casser; just give me a while to think about the bio and get a picture done.

I really want to try for Saya. ^^

Ok, finished bio/picture! 8D


Name: Casser (Cass)

Age: 3 years, 3 months

Gender: Male

Breed: Mutt (“Saluki/Schnauzer/Blue merle border collie//Blue heeler/Stag hound”)

Personality: Defiant and stubborn; despises rules. When he was younger, he was distrustful of others and felt like something of an outcast, but as he aged and fled his hometown, his history of rulebreaking turned him into a tough, rather wild animal, finding pleasure in doing the opposite of what his was told. As long as it benefitted him, he figured, then he should do it. After teaming up with the local bullies at his new town, he began to be more confident and really could care less about the feelings of any other dog.

History: His mom had a huge litter, which rather displeased her owners, who hadn’t really planned on her having any pups at all. Whenever any of the dogs misbehaved, especially the pups, the owners punished them a tad more harshly than they probably should have, usually hitting them. A very few of the pups actually died from being hit too hard at too young an age. None of them really liked this, of course, and Casser began to feel defiant to the rules. He was smart enough to never act up around the owners and managed to live without getting hit by their hands, but when they weren’t watching, Casser broke every rule he possibly could out of spite.

One day, his mother had enough of the smacking. While the owners were asleep, she took her pups outside and as far from the owner’s home as she could. Pulling a box out from a nearby garbage, she stuffed all the pups into the box and told them to stay there while she went to look for food. Unfortunately, she never came back.

Casser did have a faint respect for his mother, but as young as he was, all he had learned from the owners was that rules were bad. Punishments were bad, too, but if you could break a rule and not get caught, that was good.

So, when his mother failed to return the following morning, Casser broke her command and left the box. He noticed a few humans walking up the box and taking away some of his siblings and began to turn back to investigate, but when one of them spotted him and tried to pick him up, he scampered away as quickly as possible. The only thing worse than rules were their makers—Humans.

Unfortunately for little Casser, he was still a pup, and the human was easily able to keep up with him. He went home with her and a man to a house that was already inhabited by multiple other creatures. Casser didn’t liked the home, it reminded him too much of his mother’s owners. He knew that the humans would set rules, and that if he broke them, he would be hit…and Casser did NOT want that. Every chance he got, he bolted out the door and scuttled around the yard, though much to his dismay, there was a fence that kept him from leaving.

Casser could never quite accept his humans. He eventually stopped trying to get around the fence because the humans provided him with food, but he never ate it while they were watching and tried to avoid them when they came out.
However, when Casser was about a year old, one of the humans left the fence open by mistake. Casser escaped that night

Now becoming a loner, Casser taught himself to hunt and scavenge. Because he was still fairly young, though, he became a prime target for the town’s canine bullies. They picked on him often, and eventually Casser became more of a loner than ever, not trusting humans nor dogs.

But then one day, Casser came in contact with a curious female. He growled at her at first, ready to fight, but then instinct seemed to take over as he approached. Eventually, the two mated, but when Casser caught his new mate hanging out with some of her other friends, his distrustfulness picked up again and he ran further off, later reaching a new town. He never got to meet that litter.

Over his time on his own, Casser became tough and quiet. He was still as defiant to the rules as ever. Though he did not speak much, he became somewhat self-centered and defensive, caring only for his own wants and needs. Eventually, he got to the point that he could tolerate other dogs, but only as long as he was not at the bottom of their pecking order. In his new town, Casser found himself smiling more, but it was not really a carefree, playful smile. It tended to be a tad more sinister, a smile he got from breaking rules with the new town’s rough dogs. In fact, he found himself in the same situation as the bullies that had once so cruelly picked on him, himself…and he enjoyed it.

Due to his past, Casser didn’t find breaking the rules to be a bad thing within his mind. It was fun…something to laugh about, something that made him feel like the top dog. When he met a flirty female named Ksenia, he had no trouble getting to know her, and soon, they mated as well.

Of course, Casser was not the father Ksenia probably would have preferred; he never even officially met her litter. In fact, after mating, she rarely saw him again. Casser had gone right back off to breaking rules and feeling good about it, forgetting about Ksenia until later she tracked him down. Something clicked in Casser’s mind and he remembered her, so he tried to play it cool and started to flirt again. Ksenia, however, wasn’t really happy with him for that, knowing now that Casser wasn’t the best mate in the world. She left and refused to ever see him again…but Casser, being as he was, could’ve cared less.

Casser did meet some of his pups later in their lives, when they became old enough to wander the town, but he didn’t really make any particular bonds with them. He just continued to be what his rough life had taught him to be—a rule-breaker, standing above the rest only in his mind, but who could argue? It made him content enough.

Picture:

Nattikat8 - This is amazing! I love how you kept most of the things I already specified, but you made it even more detailed and specified a reason why he didn't like any kind of rules. I love the bio.

I apologize for the big amount of double-posting, but I can't seem to find the 'bump' button D8

Anyway, I just wanted to announce that Nattikat8 has won Casser! I also wanted people to remember this topic.

Ooh, I got him? Thank you so much! I'll make a character page at some point today. ^^

is it alright if I try for Camila and associate her with Bear? :3 (this is his char page)-http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en/chars/.Bear/23132.html
They look a little bit alike and I had an idea for a story xD

Angel Dreamer - Sure, it's fine with me :D

okay i cant resist x3 I'll try for Beige and Camila
If I think of anything more, I'll let you know! xD Hope you like!
I'm keeping the original bio in quotes and writing everything else in red
---------------------
Name: Camila
Date of birth: 1932-?-?
Order of birth: Youngest
Sex: female

Parents: Casser and Ksenia © GoddessOfTheWolves
Siblings: Alejandro(c)me, Estea(c)GoddessOfTheWolves, Ryan(c)GoddessOfTheWolves, Beige(c)Me, Incognitus(c)GoddessOfTheWolves.

Personality:

Camila is wise and loyal, having a good head on her and not prone to getting excited too easily.
Because of her interest in the latest gossip, she is always up to date with everything going on in the town. Camila tends to be bit of an perfectionist and is very finicky about getting everything just right. (especially in the guy department) She expects nothing less than what she thinks she deserves, and deep down she's a tough cookie and willing to stand up for what she strongly believes in.
Through the gossip web of the town, she knows a little too much about everyone. Camila is crafty enough to think about "blackmailing" but her nature is actually too nice for it.
If she doesn't know something about somebody, she'll find it out herself, usually in a subtle way.
Camila, who thinks of herself as "foxy"is a bit of a fail flirt. She does succeed in getting attention, but probably not in a way she'd prefer. The guys she flirts with usually laugh and poke fun at her, but Camila remains easy going, even if she's blushing on the inside. x3
Camila, though adaptable, cannot think if there is too much noise and distraction. She tends to back away and find a quiet spot to clear her thoughts.

Likes: exploring, going off to think, Windy days,

Dislikes: Obnoxious people

Interests and hobbies:


Crush: None. yet. ;)
Friends:
As well as Bear, Isis, Saffron and Ginny

Foes:

History:

For a while,Camila lives the life of a stray, hanging with other dogs and living in alleys and in boxes and on top of dirty newspapers. She learns how to steal the scraps from the trash cans, and from the butcher shop and the hunters who come back from the mountains. Eventually she began to wonder if this was really the life she wanted to leave. She began hanging out around down town, studying all the people there, looking for a possible owner to “adopt”. She spied several young girls giggling and walking down the street. Camila preferred girls to boys, and walked up to them cautiously, but with her tail wagging in a friendly way. As she got closer, the girls halted and yelped something about a “mangy, rabid stray” and ran away. Camila was confused and just a little hurt.. However, she wouldn’t let it drag her down. She kept trying different people, only to be shooed away or hollered at. The closest she had gotten to an owner was the town drunk/hobo (usually known as “Crazy larry”). Larry was strange in the head and hopelessly addicted to his bad habits, but he was pretty much the only person who gave some attention to her, usually by petting her on the head, rambling on incessantly, and giving her any scraps he had scrounged. It was during Larry’s freak episodes, that she got a little scared of him. “He doesn’t know what he’s doing” she reasoned. But the situation wasn’t ideal.
One night, Larry was up late carousing and yelling out gibberish, intoxicated as usual. Camila got slightly concerned for him and followed him at a distance
It was up an alley that she saw him trying to steal an old rich woman’s mink furred purse. Alarmed, Camila barked at him furiously in a scolding tone. Finally the appointed police man of Nome came to see what was going on,quickly sized up the situation. Crazy Larry was put in the cell for a week until he was sobered again. “I apologize for the trouble you’ve had Mrs.Vivian” the police man said gruffly. He tipped his hat and led Larry away, who was still hollering protests. In a few minutes, the woman(Vivian) and Camila were left alone. The woman called her over and Camila cautiously approached her, looking at the woman up and down. A short bobbed hairdo, a frilly hat, slightly heavyset, and covered with a fur coat, fur mittens, basically fur, fur, and more fur.
“I guess I owe you one, dog” The lady said reluctantly, adjusting her hat and furred mittens. “If it hadn’t been for you…oh, come along!”
Camila’s tail wagged, and she followed Vivian to her large house(adjoined was her shop that sold various, and expensive furs). The woman took Camila by the scruff and led her to the kitchen, going through various cupboards, muttering something. Finally she came across a tough piece of reindeer jerky and gave it to Camila, who took it greatfully. A maid came in and started a fire, Camila curled up and was allowed to stay next to it. Camila was glad to have what seemed like a home. Even if it was temporary… she told herself not to move around, not wanting to upset the lady of the house. While the house itself seemed nice..Vivian was shifty. There was something subtle about her that was odd in Camila’s eyes. She couldn’t seem to figure out what it was though. But as long as the lady kept providing her with food and a warm hearth, it was good enough for her (for a while at least). Camila though somewhat skittish of the house maid, allowed her to brush her coat and apply something that smelled good to her coat. Vivian looked on approvingly and tied a ribbon around Camila's neck. It was a huge transformation and Camila flaunted it. Vivian(who was not used to dogs) took her out on walks to show her off. Camila was always looking around her, wondering if anyone was looking.
A few males seemed to be checking her out, but sometimes Camila acted aloof, or eyed them critically. But secretly she was very pleased. Having a prominate socialite owner, got her into the ring of gossip. Her owner frequently had cocktail parties every weekend. Her guests of course, brought their own snobby little dogs with them (a lhasa apso, all the way from Tibet, An English Spaniel with a british accent, and a toy poodle from California who was constantly shivering under his wool doggy sweater). These dogs had recognized her as a former stray and grudgingly accepted her company, though they all admired the change in her appearance, they still sniffed at her former lifestyle.
It was on a "after-the-noon-cocktail party-walk", that the Lhasa apso turned to Camila and the other dogs and said "hmph! Will you look at that cocky stray there! Such impudence! An unbrushed coat! Wild hair! I bet she smells horrid! uugh!" She pointed her nose to the front of the butcher shop where a ruckus had broken out. Camila looked over and gasped with surprise.
It was her sister Beige!

-----------------------
Name: Beige
Age: Young- About two years
Gender: Female
Breed: Mutt xD
Parents: Casser and Ksenia©GOTW
Siblings:
Half-siblings:

Personality:


This girl is all about having a care-free good time.
She can get a bit uppity sometimes, and she considers herself "too cool" for some people. That changes when she meets the scruffy dog, Bear, and the two form a close friendship. Even though she is still slightly finicky about who she sees as lame or cool, Bear is an exception for her. (as she says in the picture "You're okay kid")
Always the hipster, Beige is up to date with the latest trends and has a habit of calling Bear "kid", even though she is pretty much a kid herself xD
She sometimes has a hard time seeing things through other people's eyes.
She cant sit still and often likes to race Bear and his brother, EVERYWHERE.
On the outside,Beige doesnt seem to care in the least how others think of her, she goes her own way and does her own thing and NOTHING will stop her. She is quite determined to do what she likes, and only what she likes. Anything she's not interested in will be snubbed or left for someone else to do. However her parents are a sensitive subject to her. Her fear of meeting them stems from thinking that they'll say she's not good enough.
Always the trouble maker, she never hesitates to tease her sister's fear of mice and at one point, bringing it into the shop and causing some chaos for several minutes..
Sometimes she can seem a little selfish, but it's something you have to look over.
She has to be with others, but only the people she deems "cool enough" x3 Others who cant catch on, or seem to slow for her, annoy her. (which she can get annoyed pretty easily when she gets fiesty)
Beige likes to think of herself as one of a kind, and a trend setter of the canine world.
While she prefers to be the "follower" she will NOT tolerate people who try to control or muffle who she is, She is strong in that way.
Beige lives in the here and now. She usually blurts things out without thinking, and because of her trouble maker streak, she cant foresee consequences that might come from her reckless actions.As she likes to say "tomorrow never comes"

If you make her angry,she gets quite a nasty streak. She'll find a crafty way to get back at you. Beige likes to humiliated or embarrass people that she doesn't like. She often points things out that are quite obvious, and makes them seem a thousand times bigger.
She likes being in the spot light and is very competitive when someone else tries to steal it from her.
But she will never stoop to mature responsibility, and most likely will never have pups.

Her "cool","I'm awesome" attitude is a bit in your face.Beige is an over the top girl. She has an active imagination, and tends to exaggerate things to keep things interesting. usually this results in a lot of trouble. She has always wanted to live out her fantasy of surviving a near death experience, but she had no idea how close she would actually get......

Likes:

Teasing people, causing trouble, being hip, likes anything colorful or shiny, likes to scare smaller dogs than her xDD, she also likes to stay outside when it's sunny, and take walks around town, loves hanging out, getting attention, being RANDOm 8B,

Dislikes:
Spoil sports, being bored, being cooped up in side, being controlled

Fears:
(Again this comes from her conceived ideas about her parents)

History:

(*EDIT*--revised the history for both of them)
Beige quickly got bored of this non-exciting life and decided that if something wasn’t going to happen, *she* would make it happen.
She back tracked the way she and her brother had come. Watching the various sleds and the dog teams run in an out of town carrying mail and goods.
Beige could only grin, she would sometimes try to race the dogs and the sleds, seeing if she had the power to run faster than a whole team. Most of that was just wishful thinking on her part, but she liked distracting the sled dogs and watching them bump into each other, and have the owner scold them all. The teams would angrily bark out insults at her, but she only laughed and kept running. The league of teams across the town called her " the nuisance."

Doing this gave Beige the adrenaline rush she always needed, going borderline with people's patience, causing at least a little trouble.
It was one night that things went too far. The town's mail sled team was headed across the mountains, Beige eagerly followed them, barking and running with them. She got so caught up in her adrenaline rush that she didn't see the mountain path getting narrower... Beige got herself caught up in the team's harnesses and was vaulted off the path, falling hard and breaking a leg...
She lay in pain for several hours, trying to stand up was an effort, and a futile one at that. It was near evening before a trapper found her. She growled at him, not wanting to be submissive or accept help. But he was firm with her, and took her back to his cabin where he made a makeshift cast for her.
It took a long time(too long for Beige) of sitting still before she was able to hobble around. Beige detested her life with the trapper, though deep down, she knew she should be greatful to him for helping her. However, this sedentary life was a living heck for her. she needed to get OUT.

Meanwhile word had passed to town, (from one of the mail team dogs) that "The Nuisance" had died. Others said she had been carried off by a pack of wolves, or eaten by a hungry wild cat. Camila of course, was in on the gossip, but actually had no idea who this "nuisance" was. (not having seen her sister in ages) All she knew was that "someone who looked slightly like her" had died. Camila shrugged it off.
Until she saw her sister in front of the butcher shop that day....

The trapper had taken on the idea of keeping Beige as a pet and perhaps train her to hunt small game. (he was also one of Vivian's suppliers of cheap furs.) Once Beige could walk again, he took her with him to the Fur shop.
As they walked past the butcher shop, Beige caught the scent of small mice scurrying around the trash cans. Unable to suppress herself, she bounded (painfully) over and chased after them, barking wildly, knocking over the bins, getting trash everywhere....annnnnd causing a ruckus.

It was then, that she heard the gasp...and saw that familiar face of her sister, Camila.
Beige grinned almost sheepishly and said...."Hey sis..."


--UPDATED--This is a continuation of sorts, but it's more of the future :3

With Camila and Beige reunited, Camila wants Beige to stick around for a while so they can catch up and swap stories. Beige hesitates but decides that she'll go along with this idea, at least for a little while.
Camila's "owner" Vivian is a little unwelcoming to another mutt in the house, but she overlooks it somewhat. Beige stays with Camila for a few weeks, all the while feeling restless. Things arent going very well for the household, economically. And the fur trade is starting to have some stricter rules and set backs for hunting. Business isnt so good for Vivian basically. Less furs are arriving, and Vivian is beginning to eye the dog's coats, especially Camila's.
It is Beige who first points out to Camila, that Vivian and her friends seem a little TOO comfortable, petting their soft silky fur. The sudden point makes Camila nervous,(see the pic, where Camila has second thoughts) but she tries to remain calm, thinking it might just be Beige's imagination, but..Beige isnt so sure...Eventually the tension in the household gets tighter...and it's a choice of staying or taking flight. But where would they go?....
The tension is too much for Beige, and she gets more and more nervous, as well as...BORED.
She noses into the store for the furs, and finds a fuzzy pair of expensive ermine fur mittens, she begins gnawing on them to relieve her boredom. Things dont go so well when Vivian comes in and sees the damage.....
She finally kicks Beige out of the house, but...it's kind of a good thing for Beige. She thinks she can still make it on her own.....
A few days later, Beige is STILL in town, walking around, tired, annoyed and hungry. Quite by accident she runs into her previous owners, who have been searching for her. They run to her and hug her, coaxing her back with them. As it turns, out, they want to give her to their young son, who has a ranch down south, thinking she'll be happier there....





She's not really much for girly names, even if she is somewhat of a hipster.

She can't sit still, loves to run around, and tends to tackle things over and chew things up.


Crush:Has a small one on Bear, but it's nothing huge. They are more of close friends

.
---------------------------
Why I would like them both:
Well, they're both absolutely adorable,
They're fun to draw, and would be very helpful in developing some of my characters more-- Mainly Bear, Ginny and Saffron--it would help my existing characters have more of a story and have some more supporting friends and to tie all their stories together.
I'd like to draw them as much as possible, they'd be a great addition to my art x3
I also love how they have a resemblance to Bear xD it makes for an interesting idea, having them wonder if they're somehow related xD
