BIO

Originaly bred in Mexico, Chantico was adopted by a Japanese family and taken back to their home country to be their pet. She was trained in some canine sports and competed on a national level. Life was good, she was loved, had a wonderful family, and all was well with the world, to her.

One weekend, her family went away on a trip, leaving Chantico in the care of a family friend. The hotel they were staying in caught fire, and the family died. Chantico overhead the news once it reached her caretaker, and she was so distraught she jumped the garden fence and tore off into the wilderness. Lost and dazed, she stumbled around for a few days, hungry and cold, until she unexpectedly found herself in Ohu. Weed's kindess towards all dogs saw that she was taken care of while she recovered.

Chantico is currently learning to fend for herself in the wild, in the company of another stray named Gryphon.

Strengths: Chantico can turn on a dime, has no fear of heights, and can jump an obstacle three times her height. She excels at speed and agility.

Weaknesses: Being a hairless dog means she has little protection from attacks. It also means that she's missing some teeth (specifically, some premolars) and her bite is weaker than average. She is also suceptible to cold and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

Likes/Dislikes: Likes running around and jumping over obstacles, mild spring days, warm summer nights, and butterflies.
Dislikes extremely hot days, rain, chilly mornings, ants. She really loathes being treated as if she was a sick dog.
