Ok, so here's a 'different' contest: I want one girl to complete a posse I have in mind.

As some of you may be aware of, my characters Amarie, Fallada, and Litonya are reasonably close to each other. All three have had at least one litter of pups, and I have selected one girl from each litter to be fast friends like their mothers are.




Now. Here's where you come in.

I would be perfectly content with just three girls, but seeing as Sherri is considerably older then the other two, I am in need of, and I quote, "an equally beautifull girl to keep up with [Sherri, Eva, and Gwen], and who could also bring something new to the table." So, in an abridged version,

? I need a young pup, ages 8 weeks-4 months.(They can be older, but they have to be within this age when they meet the girls.)

? I need a pretty pup. Beauty is actually very important in this contest.

? I need a unique pup. Don't be afraid to push the envelope with her personality.

? I need a developed pup. Parents, siblings, the whole shebang.



1. As stated above, the pup has to be within the desired age range(no exceptions), have some kind of background/known family, be WELL DESIGNED(I want the markings consistent with whatever breed she is), and, oh yeah: A female.

2. Y'know, I don't mind if you just post a link and say 'Hey, is this a girl you think could be part of the pose?' or something, but filling out this(or even part of this) bio would be nice too. It'll help me sort out the duds from the ones with potential.

Code: Select all

[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Age:[/b]
[b]Breed:[/b]
[b]Parents:[/b]
[b]Personality:[/b]
[b]History:[/b]
[b]How she feels about Sherri:[/b]
[b]How she feels about Gwen:[/b]
[b]How she feels about Eva:[/b]

3. Typical BS rules, Respect, cordial language and mannerisms, no whining.

4. I need a link to a character sheet or a decent picture.

5. The pup must be a purebred or mixed DOG. No wolves, dingos, African wild dogs, maned wolves, or foxes. Small amounts of wild dog blood are OK, but I don't want their personalities or lives to be affected by it. Strays are OK too, just nothing...feral.

6. The number of entries you can send in is unlimited.

7. No deadline, so. Whatever. I'll check this a lot, so you'll get feedback from me.







Update, 9/13: The way this will work is that I wil pick 3-5 finalists. From there, I will ask them to either add another section of my choosing to their bio OR to draw a picture with their female and one/a few of the girls. DO NOT DO THIS NOW. It is just for the finalists to do, whom I will announce in due time.

May I?



Name: Bliss
Age: around 4 months
Breed: Border Collie/ German Shepard/ Malamute/ Husky mix
Parents: Titanium and Ren
Personality: Bliss is a flirt but with parents like her's how could she not be? She considers herself to be a princess and is often treated like one. Takes after her mother in looks which she sometimes uses to her advantage. Like her grandmother Anna she is very confidant in herself but is not a stuck up snob, also like her and her mother before her she is very popular in Nome (expecially with the males) Also very ladylike and proper. But unlike her mother or her father she doesn't bounce from one guy to the next. She has a very strong English accent, from all of the time she spent there.
History: Mr. Simmons (Titanium's Owner) gave Bliss to his daughter Amy as a graduation present after Ren's owner called him and told him about her birth. Both owners had been good friends and with Ren being the way she is it was no surprise that she got with Titanium. Ren was raised by her father, and treated by her owner as if she was a human rather than a dog. Most of the males want her company but she won't give them the time of day, due to the fact she's got her heart set on Summer's younger brother, even though she knows he has a mate and it would never work out she still is a hopeless romantic when around him.

Amy decided to move to england to attend a boarding school. She took Bliss with her to attend "puppy" classes to teach her how to behave. The classes were tought my Bliss' aunt, Bella Donna (Jace's Character) who tought them to act like "real" ladies. There Bliss met and became best friends with her cosin Magna (Iron and Quinn's darghter and (c) Jace)


How she feels about Sherri: She likes Sherri. Bliss finds her to be intriging with them both being slightly flirtatious but she finds it a little odd that she used to like her daddy.
How she feels about Gwen: For some odd reason Bliss isn't to fond of Gwen, shes not sure why just there's something.
How she feels about Eva: Bliss adores Eva, she thinks she's the sweetest thing on earth.

Intresting contest! I just got one question, are they related to characters from the Balto movie? if not then I'll enter since all of my characters are in some way related to them XD

Name: Violet

Age: 4 months

Breed: Husky-Mix

Parents: Benjamin (c) Metal Head Pup; & Wynd (c) Hype

Siblings: Gaoth (c) Metal Head Pup; Calaner (c) Hype; Layton (c) anileu; & Halona (c) Emi

Personality: Violet is preety rough, but doesn't really show it around others. She can be sweet. Though she has many mood switches. She never wants to be a killer, a fighting dog like her father was in his younger days. But now Violet is quiet and keeps to herself. Though Violet is always ready to fight when needs. She's protetive of her brother Gaoth. Violet doesn't like it when others make fun of her when she has a crush on a boy, or if she tells someone and they blurt it out to everyone, then she actully kinda likes it ebcause everyone knows about her, so she somewhat becomes 'popular'. The only thing is once the amel knows she has totally lost her chance of ever even trying to be with him.

History: Violet was the runt of her litter, and will always be the smallest and was picked on quite a bit for her size. When she was adopted by a human, the human was a prim and proper woman who treated many dogs and used most of her purebred dogs for breeding. Well, lone behold Violet just happened to be a purebred husky. She was in trouble now. When she met the male that she was suspost to mate with right away at first sight, she turned around whimpering. They wanted her to mate and she was only 11 weeks old. She was then used as a dog. A random pet dog, just to keep the woman comapny as Violet didn't want to have anything to do with the male.

Once she had escaped her house outside and really didn't want to return. She had met a small group of perfect little girl puppies and she slipped right in, and she has been in that ever since.

How she feels about Sherri: Violet does like she is so much like her mother, as Violet is. She belives they have things in commen so she really likes Sherri. She responds to her like she would her own mother, and holds very much respect for this canine. She is majorly jealous that she got to be with Titanium, as Violet has a huge crush on him and despretly wants to be to be his girl friend but knows its inpossible as she's much to young for him. Overall, Violet is a big fan of Sherri, or Cherry. She hopes that she doesn't hate her either, and is she did, she would be devestated.

How she feels about Gwen: Violet absolutly loves Gwen's appernce, but think beauty isn't everything.. or maybe it is. (couldn't go very far with this one because of no personality yo ref of of)

How she feels about Eva: Violet was a big jealous of Evalina when she first met her because of the extra crae her mother had given Eva as a pup. She does like Eva and all, but sometimes she wonders if she really is a good friend to have.

Woah--nice entries, everyone!



I don't have a problem with it. The only one who's related to a Balto character is Sherri.(her dad is Jenna's brother) x3

Name: Azura

Age: Puppy

Breed: 3/4 unknown 1/4 Wolf (is it okay if they've only got a little bit of wolf?)

Parents: I'd recently changed her parents so while I have the breeds, I don't have names. Her father was half wolf and half dog (unknown breed but his coat is red)-- and her mother was a black dog (some kind of sled dog breed). She does have siblings though: Dallas and Scooter (c) me and Roxy (c) Dusk the Wolf

Personality: Bubbly, optimistic, kind, puppyish, immature (in a good way), energetic, kind and ultra sweet. She can also be a bit naive and clueless, but she's not stupid. Just kind of out-of-it, dreamy.

History: She had a pretty normal pup-hood with her mother, but she never knew her father because he was mistaken for a full wolf and was killed. The family never knew what had happened to him but word eventually got around. After a while, her mother was captured along with her two siblings, Scooter and Roxy, where they were returned to her mother's previous owner (her mother had escaped from them to run away with Azura's father) through a dog shelter. However, Azura and her brother Dallas weren't caught because Dallas shoved her through a small hole in the fence and they got away. Soon after, Dallas was caught in a few bizarre events, leaving Azura on her own. But she's perfectly happy with it. She can always find food in trashcans and because of how sweet she is, she never really had any trouble with other stray's territories or over who's food is who's.

How she feels about Sherri: She likes Sherri! There aren't a lot of things she doesn't like, so anyone she considers her friend, she likes a lot.

How she feels about Gwen: She likes Gwen too! Like Sherri, anyone she considers to be her friend, she is nice too and pretty much stays friends for life with them.

How she feels about Eva: (surprise surprise) She likes Eva too! However, she likes Eva the most since she seems the most kind and gentle.

I'm not trying to be lazy or unoriginal... she just literally likes just about everything.

Charrie page:
http://baltosource.timduru.org/en/chars/Azura_lunawolf383/2794.html

Name: Niabi (meaning Fawn)
Age: 8 months going on 1
Breed: Norwegian Elkhound mix with Shiba Inu and slight german shepard. (Sorry that only one of she parents aren’t pure-bred.)
Parents: Stagg and Shailene
Siblings: Hart (Rush_Hour), Brett (Lion_Heart), Angus (Emi)
Mate: None
Pups: None
Crush: Fang (Lone) but then changes to Toma (Eva's bro xDD lol)
Personality: She is shy when meeting someone new but it only takes a few minutes to warm up to somebody. She has a lot of confidence and will call out someone if her or her friends were insulted. She will put up a fight if threatened but forgets that she cant fight, but she wants to know how...She knows a cute male dog when she sees it and certainly is not a flirt (Only around the one she loves).
Likes: Fang, Her friends, Families, Puppies, spending a night under some good shelter, when her and her buds are safe.
Hates: People who take her lightly, for granted or insult her, being reminded of how she doesn't know her parents or siblings (and wishes to know them, if she has some), Females who are too snooty and males who take themselves for gods.
Fears: Never finding love and never finding a place where she fits in.
History: Niabi's past was rough. After she was born, she was sold very quickly and only saw a glimpse of her mother. She was given to a little girl by her mother as a way to keep her only child happy. Niabi loved the life in the house but she also wanted to explore the outdoors. Her owner took her outside she loved it and thought she had what it takes to be a street dog. She showed off in front of others whom laughed at her for being on a leash. She didn't know what to do, run away from home or stay with her owner. She realized that she should stay with her owner and ad least not be laughed at by other dogs. During her walks she met young females named, Eva, Sherri and Gwen. She became rather fond of them although they all had owners as well and rarely sees them. As soon as the little girl's owner's dad came home in a long time, being an alcoholic, is very drunk and violent all the time. In order to protect her daughter the mother and daughter ran to get safety. The dad then went after Niabi and she ran out the door really quickly and decided to not go back there again. Since then she's been living on the streets, starving and figures out she's not street dog material and thinks she’s going to have to get used to it. Meeting Eva, Sherri and Gwen again, she feels more happy and safe with people around her. Niabi only wishes to know who her parents are and sometimes goes around town looking and studying from afar. She's fed up with being a lonely soul and wants to get to know her family better; they must be out there, some where. Fang catches her eye and thinks he's rather handsome. He's spoken with her and she finds him, charming. Later, She realizes that Fang isn’t into her, or even pays attention to her, so she falls madly in love with Toma. Eva’s brother.
Other: She sometimes goes around Eva, Sherri and Gwen's houses in hoping for a box or a scrap blanket or something she can use to sleep on at night xD
Voice: -
How she feels about Sherri: As I mentioned, Niabi isn't a flirt, so this makes it difficult since Sherri is. Though, Niabi doesn't hate her at all, She rather likes her. She just finds her boy crazy.
How she feels about Gwen: Niabi likes her, even though they sometimes bicker.
How she feels about Eva: She finds her just adorable and her sweet character makes Niabi look after her like a sister she's never had.
Picture: I will draw a real one later, I’m going to drop dead cuz its 5 in the morning maaannn

Why do you want your character to be a part of the quartet?: I think that she would make a good balance to the group because Niabi could be the shy and quiet one when she can, but also be a fighter whether as, Eva is the happy and sweet one, Gwen is the girly and sort-of-shallow one but sweet on her own times and Sherri is the flirt whom has a good heart x] So since Niabi and Sherri are different in a way, I think it would make a better mix of personalities. Gwen is sweet around her friends too, but she also like Toma just like Niabi does, which could add conflict to the story like the ‘best friends fight but make up after’ sort of thing. She would get along very well with Eva as well as she loves Eva’s sweetness and also likes that she can often see her brother. x]
Why do you think these four girls would get along?: I see them getting along pretty well. As I said before, Gwen and her would clash at some point but that’s only because they liked the same guy. When Toma goes off with Zephyr, they realized how stupid they acted and make up. Eva is too sweet and optimistic for Niabi to fight with. XD Sherri is kind of too flirty at times but Niabi likes observing her, putting on the moves for future use (as she never went out with guys or had a relationship before, she’s kind of ‘inexperienced xD)

Name: Essien
Age: 3 months.
Breed: Husky/Borzi
Parents: Sumana and Jamic. (No profiles, because Sumana is being re designed and Jamic needs a history xD I'll draw em soon though.)
Personality: Essien is a bit of a know it all, and always comes up with plans for anything, will almost never go about anything big with out a plan. Essien is flustered very easily, from males flirting, or simple complements. Extreamly eagar to please, and says sorry for everything she did wrong, sometimes with out a reason.
History: Sumana and Jamic met by accendent. Sumana had been taking shelter by Jamic's house from a storm. Jamic found her in the yard. The two hit it off right away, and became great friends. Well the usual happened, the two started to like each other, and Sumana eventually got pregnant. The pups were born on a stormy night so Sumana used all her power to get them to Jamic's owner hoping she would care for them. By the time Jamic's master, and Jamic had relized Sumana had been out side. Only one of the pups survived. The human named the pup Essien. The owner adopted Sumana into the family aswell, Kingston (the human) soon adopted off a mutt, as a play mate for Essien. Xanthus is what the dog was named. Essien and Xanthus became the closest of friends. (if she wins, she will spend more time with the girls, making Xanthus jelous xD)
How she feels about Sherri: Essien absolutly adores Sherri/ and her mother. They are extremly beautful to her and she loves them for it. She tends to hang around Sherri the most, finding her more... interesting I guess. Jelous of the fact Sherri can flirt with guys (Essien gets emabarressed)
How she feels about Gwen: I think Gwen would get annoyed with Essien, being how she is. But overal, Essien likes Gwen and loves how brave she is.
How she feels about Eva: Essien finds this girl insanly sweet, and timid. She had a need to make sure Eva is happy or safe she has no idea why.

I am so in >3

Name: Marie

Age: Eight or nine months old

Breed: 1/2 Australian Shepherd, 1/2 English Setter

Parents: Oscar and Catalina

Personality: (you can also see character page [link below] if I missed anything here) Marie is very outgoing and affectionate. She can be down-to-earth and serious, but she prefers to have fun and just relax. Always up for a challenge, Marie enjoys using her wit to gain the upper hand in a conversation/argument/whatever, of just for fun and to make others laugh. She tends to underestimate her beauty and looks in general, preferring to see herself as adventurous and brave rather than beautiful and vain. She tends to see things as all-black or all-white (if you know what I mean), and so doesn't realize that she could be beautiful and fun to be around.

History: Well, since her life from one year onward is the contents of a fic I'm writing, I'll give you the scoop for her first year of life.

Marie was born to two very proud parents - obviously, Oscar and Cati - and was the much-loved "little sister" that the others shared. She was also the only pup kept by the female musher who kept Oscar and Cati as pets after they ran from the show ring in Juneau (see their character pages...;D). She was very depressed for a while when her siblings were all adopted, and often wished for a new home and a life of adventure, although she loved the musher very much and knew how lucky she was to be with her.

(continued) However, Marie was in for a shock. It turned out that the musher's husband and five-year-old boy had been on a six-month-long trip together and had just returned home. The small child immediately fell in love with the dogs, but especially with Marie. At first she is only able to feel a grudging tolerance towards him, as he takes up more of the humans' attention (and after all, she is a housepet XD). But near the end of her first year of life, Marie comes to love him and the two become fast friends.

Also, do you want a potential history of how Marie came to meet the girls? I wasn't sure on that one, since you put up categories for "how they feel about Sherri/Gwen/Eva."

How she feels about Sherri: Marie thinks that "Cherry" (as she calls her, along with everyone else) is nice, but all the same she wouldn't trust her with any secrets. Marie wishes to stay as far from Litonya as possible...she senses the female's...intriguing past. D< Still, Marie likes Cherry overall and wishes that they had more in common.

How she feels about Gwen: Marie likes Gwen a lot. In fact, she's probably Marie's favorite (though she'd never tell XD). She's secretly a little jealous of Gwen's beauty (like I said earlier, she underestimates her own often) but does her best to look past that, and she hopes that Gwen likes her the same way. Thus far, they are getting to be "thick as thieves" and Marie would like to keep it that way. She admires Gwen a lot. (Bear with me on Gwen's, please, since she doesn't have a character page and therefore a description of her personality. ^^")

How she feels about Eva: Marie could describe Eva in one word: Sweet. Marie tends to humor Eva whenever possible, because she's so caring and kind to others. In that sense, Marie has the feeling that they are good friends. But in another, Marie wishes that Eva was interested in doing more "rough-and-tumble" types of things. (She actually wishes this of all three girls.)

Hope you like her Wolfness ^^

And here's Marie's character sheet/pic!

*UPDATE* This pic was the product of boredom a couple of days ago. <3

Awwwwww. x] I love them, guys!
