Shayla

I won, and now this is my custom Mithrellian, with Jenn525's permission. ^^

Please move to created pets! ^^

Name of M.o.E:
Shayla
Gender:
Female
Age:
452
Brief History/Story:
Shayla was born in secret and hidden from the hunters who would be after her coat. Her parents were both royal Mithrellians, raised in the palaces of the Egyptian kings and queens. The entire bloodline of the Mithrellians were specifically created and raised to remain by the sides of the royalty, each pup assigned to a different human based on that pup's traits and the human's rank. If the pup was born without wings, it often went to lesser royalty and nobles within the country, while the winged members of Shayla's family were given to the highest powered individuals.

It was wonderful for the Mithrellians. They were beloved hunting companions and guards, but that would not last. During the reign of the last in the bloodline of the human 'gods', the king waged war and spread his armed forces too wide. Because of poor tactical maneuvering and lack of political alliances, the Egyptian territory fell in to different hands. Many of the Mithrellian from the small country were killed by hunters for their pelts. However, a few managed to escape the devastation.

Shayla's parents were among a select lucky few who were ferried out with the last few living nobles in to exile on a different country's soil. A while after the fall and living in hiding, Shayla's mother became pregnant. Upon the birth of her litter, Shayla was stolen by a slave from her breeder who planned on selling her for money to flee the country and taken on the run. Shayla, despite her wings, was not chased after. However, in the process of fleeing, the slave was captured and killed by a militia, and Shayla was left abandoned near an oasis.

Shayla eventually was passed over by a caravan. One of the dogs of the traders noticed her though. The female had just had her own litter killed by the humans to prevent them from slowing down the merchants on their way across the desert. The dog hid Shayla, bringing her scraps and food she could sneak away from the camp. Finally, as Shayla matured and the end of the merchant's trip came closer, she and the female canine ran off. Shayla continued to protect and watch over the older domesticated animal even until her later years, repaying the favor. Once the elderly dog had died though, Shayla decided it was time to head back to her birthland.

Thank you. n_n I like simple, flowing colors on my designs. I'm not afraid of bright or busy character creations (You probably know from the Salemandres XD), but I wanted a more 'regal' yet exotic type one because of the Egyptian influence and the Mithrellian breed. ^^

It's very good, Jäger (This is the better username!)
I think This has a good chance, and I'm sure Jen would agree.

I was worried that the neck piece wouldn't mesh well with the initial concept though. I'm glad I left it then. XD

Thank you so much! 0_0 I'm so excited now! <3 =)
