Well I sort of think its both in my opinion like fan characters I think Kiona also belongs a tiny bit to Universal since they have the design but CatWhoHas14Tails did make the personality and name so I think it belongs to both people

Yes I believe that it would but sometimes its also fan art of course

Yesh I noticed that it was very cool I came to say actually they belong to you but then I started watching Avatar and still thought they belonged to you except the names they belong to Nickalodeon a little

My character I was going to name Kakashi from Naruto but instead I made her a girl and named her Kakasha and then took out the last ka later on and thats how I got my charries XD

they wouldn't reply XD seriously though But yeah they do belong to you I guess because you came up with the look also

I have nothing more I can use to debate about XD

I actually think not. Sure, maybe they can claim the design as theirs, but not the character.

Now if they had a blackish-blue wolf named "Blue", and they didn't rip from Wolf's Rain, it's acceptable. Blue, Kiba, Amaya, Alex, and other popular names like that are not uncommon. Exspecially on the internet.

But, I think this is partially a rant. ;] Either way, it fits in both.

OK, well here is where I do not agree: Kiona is a fan character. She only has similar markings to the red-faced pup in Balto II, she is drawn in a different style, and is pretty much entirely different. The character Kiona does not belong to Universal, nor her design. Kiona is a fan made character, and even if she does have similar markings, Kiona is entirely different in every other way.

Now, if you were to draw, say, Rosie in what you think her wolf form would be, Rosie (the human char) is (C) universal. But her wolf form is (C) to you.

I agree with that for some reason

It dosent belong to the person who drew it cause Naruto or any anime charries drawn as wolves, belong to a company so they should give them credit. If not, then they're art steeler's.
