Other:HistoryWhere was he/she born?:It was a cloudy day, when a light brown female dog layed down in a small forest next to a rather big city. She knew, that her baby was about to be comming. She also knew, that she couldn't give it a better life than she had. Always close to starving, when nobody has compassion with a poor dog. No warm place to sleep at night. No food. No safety. A few raindrops started to fall when she finally gave birth to a little girl.
She somehow looked a bit like her father. He was such a proud, well cared for dog. And what a pitty he couldn't see his daughter right now. He would have loved her. As much, as her mother loved her. But he wasnt a stray dog like those two. He was living with humans. The mother didn't even know, where he lived. One day she would try to find him. One day they would all be together. But first she had to care for her daughter. For Keriann.
This was how Kerry was born. She grew up wwith her loving mum. Learned everything she needed to know from her, and loved her life. It wasnt like her mother always said. She wasnt always hungry, she found plenty to eat. It also wasnt always could at night. There were empty boxes to sleep in, or big open houses, with lots of stuff inside, where she could hide and play. Her mum always told her about the great life her father has. Living in a house with humans who loved him. Kerry only knew humans who got mad, when they saw her. How could those two legd creatures love a dog? When she saw those poor individuals owend by humans, on their leashes, she was always glad to be a free dog.
Was there anything that changed his/her life:One day her mum decided to search for her dad. "We will be a happy family again.", she always said. Kerry couldn't belive this. First of all, she had never seen her father. Not that kind of a careing one, huh? Second, it ment humans. And she really didnt like humans. But well, her mum wanted to find him, and Kerry didn't want to hurt her. So they left their territory, and took a long walk through this big city. It took them weeks full of shouting humans, grumpy dogs and agressive cats to find a district with small houses (Kerry just knew those big buildings that almost touch the sky) that even had small gardens.
Dogs were sometimes kept outside in the garden. Had their own very small house and a chain that held them back. Other dogs were carried around in bags and head pink ribbons around their necks. Again Kerry was glad to be a stray dog. She would never want to wear a ribbon or a chain. Her mum either didn't care for all that, or even liked the imagination of wearing something. Suddenly she even started to wag her tail.
"Mum?", Keriann asked, "what makes you so happy right now?"
"Dont you smell it?", her mum smiled at her. Kerry took a deep breath. Yes, there was a smell she knew somehow. She never really smelled it before, but she still knew it. And that should be a reason to be happy? She rather thought it was strange and scary.
"This is the smell of your father!"
"So we finally found him?", Kerry asked.
"Yes, he has to be arround here."
Both of them continued their walk. They came to a nice yellow house where a huge, strong dog looked at them happily.
"Finally you came to me!", he said, "is this my daughter?"
Kerrys mother nodded her head. Then the two of them started to talk lots about the past. Sometimes Kerry was asked a few things. She was supposed to be as happy as her mother, but she wasnt. When the humans of this dog came back, she even hided. They where strangely nice. Her mother waged her tail to greet them. How could she? But the humans laughed and stroked her head. Kerry didn't understand all of this. It was not what she was used to. Humans were angry creatures. Why would her mum want to be friendly with them? And why didnt they shout at her? They even opend the garden door and let her in.
When her mum called Kerry to get out of her hideout, she refused to. "Mum, I will never enter a humans home. I dont want to make you leave aswell, but I cant stay here. Im old enough now, to go my own way. Dad, take good care of her!", those were the last words she said, before she ran away. Her mum wanted to follow her, but the male held her back. "It was her choice," he said, "and she is right. She is old enough to go her own way." Kerry was crying. Nobody told her, how hard the day would be, when she left her mum. She knew that it had to come, but she missed her right away.
The next few days she always returned to her fathers house. Sometimes she had the chance to talk to her parentes. They spoke about the whole thing again, and made their peace with Kerrys desicion. She promised them to visit them sometimes and not go to far away for the moment. But she wanted to start her own new life now. First of all with finding a pack to live with.
Thats when she encounters the three brothers Sammy, Mike and Vito.
How is it now?:She lives with her pack, that includes Sammy, Mike, Vito and also Izzy now, who joined them a few weeks ago.
PersonalityPositive traits:First to say, Keriann is a rather calm character. She will never be the one keeping a conversation going, since she doesnt talk lots. Actually she even hates it, when others keep talking lots, without saying anything. This makes smalltalk a rather hard thing for her. When she wants to say something, she will always directly say it. She doesn't understand the ritual of talking about the weather first.
Kerry is a little shy, what makes it harder for her to find new friends. This is another reason why she isnt talking that much. If its not really important, she wont say it. Having a pack to live with is important though. Even though she is shy, she will try to find others to form a pack. Its not that she couldn't survive alone, but having others aroung her means a little more safety to her. Of course she would do everything for her pack. Never be the one waiting for the others to bring food or protect her. She would fight in the first row if needed, but she can also see when fighting is useless, and will lead to nothing but pain.
Keriann enjoyes life as a stray dog. It means freedom to her and independence. Humans only make her think of chains, small homes, and little territory. And of course behavior. She doesnt want to always do what her owner would want her to do. She doesnt like it at all when someone doesnt ask for something but rather gives orders. Its not that she wouldnt accept any other dog to be the leader of her pack, but she will not accept one that doesnt take advice from the other pack members. One that only gives orders and takes all the food for himself. If she would get in a pack lead by somebody like this, she would first of all try to convince her pack that he is the wrong leader. That they should choose another one. And if they dont listen to her, she would try to leave. I know, it isnt always that easy, but lets just hope she will find a friendly pack.
Even as we know now, she prefers being part of a group, she needs some time to be alone too. In a city its of course hard to find a place to be alone. Even harder to find a silent place. She really likes to live in a city though. There are so many things to explore, so many ways to get food, and this amazing things, small children sometimes drop in summer (she means ice cream). And when she wants to be alone, there are always some dark alleyways that no one likes to enter. She is not afraid to meet strange creatures there. She just enjoys the loneliness. If she ever met starngers there? Well, if she does, she just turnes around and runs. Thats the advantage of a big city. You can just run to a big street and hide between those lots of people.
Negative traits:Very sensitive characters might take things she said personally, since she does not always know how to frame the sentences in a soothing way.
Fears: WIP
100+ words:
(since I had to write a very detaild personality about her already to adopt her, I feel I will just put up a 200+ words story here. For her and Izzy, since both were adopted from the Pound of Love, and join the same pack now.)
