Username: Mythz
Name: Raphael or 'Rafa' for short
Sex: Male
Ribbon Color: Dark Green
Prompt:
Raphael most resonates to the Present ghost - since he appears as a 'jolly giant'. Rafa is certainly a very loving, happy-go-lucky doggo. Rafa's fur takes up most of his size - meaning he can actually fit into reasonably tight spaces you wouldn't expect a Caucasian Obcharka to fit into! Which, in the story the ghost of Christmas Present, he reveals that he can change his size so that he can fit any space. Raphael loves making others happy, even though his breed's usual personality says that he should be rather dominant, Rafa is happy to let others lead the pack.

Username: KittyandCat
Name: Bear
Sex: Male
Ribbon Color: Faded red
Prompt:
Bear knows that the past is an important part of every dog's life, and every memory should be cherished. He tries his best to tell young puppies at the daycare about things of the past, but in his old age sometimes loses patience. He often will tell stories to the older dogs at the daycare, too. He wants more than anything for others to understand the importance of the past, and of those who are no longer with him.

Bear's past wasn't the best, either. His father abandoned his mother when he was born, and his mother died before he opened his eyes. He was adopted by a kind, old man who gave him a home and a warm place to sleep by the fireplace. He to, died before Bear knew him well. He was forced to sleep in the alley before he came to the shelter, and now doesn't expect to be loved.

Bear tries to forget his pain, tries to enjoy the company of he other dogs in his kennel, but can't. This old dog hopes for another home someday, one as sweet as his mother and as warm as the fireplace he once slept be. Bear, you see, happens to be 'living in the past.'

Name: Tina
Sex: female
Ribbon Color: a gentle butter yellow
Prompt:

I would say the ghost of christmas present for sure. Tina doesn't really think about consequences or tragedies, she kinda just doesn’t whatever she wants, usually watching TV. she’s probably to daft to even understand the concept of time. Just chilling on the sofa, chewing on a nice squeaky toy. She gets in trouble a lot and no one has been able to train her. She hears “sit” and just stands there waiting for a treat, which honestly she usually gets anyways… great training.

She also gets really excited when she hears “present” is means she’ll get something good, like a treat, or a new bed! Tina thinks of it as just a gift, not really knowing it has any other meanings.

This competition will be closed tomorrow around 7 pm PT (pacific time)! No extensions will be given. I will be trying to judge the forms based on the prompt mostly, and will try to get one of each christmas spirit/ghost (though it is not top priority)! Please remember that i am not focusing on partnered forms, that the prompts should be a maximum of 700 words and a minimum of 100 words, and extras are completely optional (i may not read or acknowledge them when judging) and if done, should stay in a reasonable range of words (see my extra policy for more information).
Please get forms done before that time!

nadezda represents the ghost of christmas past for several reasons, and those being that i will explain──one i can firmly explain being that of the origins and how they correlate. as you and everyone else should know, dogs originate from wolves. over time, the wolves that befriended the humans domesticated and took form of the pets we know today──but how might that connect with the ghost of christmas past? well, being that nedezda is a czechoslovakian wolfdog, that are more closely related, at least in looks, than other dog breeds; therefore, they are more closely related to the dogs of the past that were, centuries ago, wolves. this is exactly what the ghost of christmas past is supposed to remind us of anyway; our past selves and how we once were all that time ago──wolfdogs like nedezda allow us to look back into that brilliant time of the past.

there are other reason, as well, to why i believe that this beautiful girl represents this particular ghost. by the way they are portrayed in the books, movies, and more, they are always a light spirit that glows brightly and nearly blinds the eyes. though i don't feel blinded by her appearance, the contrast of her coloration against those of her companions, the large ovcharka and basset bleu, truly show how she glows and shines brightly in ways further than just appearances, but in her nature as well.

lastly, i believe that she represents the ghost of christmas past by her placement in the image (she is further in the back, behind the others) and how she is positioned. though these factors might not have anything to do with her characteristics as to who she is, i really do feel that the mere positioning of things can show key qualities of the characters──especially in this situation, when all i have is an image of who she is, and thus i must form the character i believe she most definitely is. thus, by her placement behind the others, it shows her as the past if you are to look at it in chronological order, or from back to front. by her looming above the others, watching them from behind, also shows an important role of her character that is in the story of a christmas carol──the happenings of the past frequently affect what is happening in the present and even future, looming above like a constant reminder.
