What is her collar made of?miska wears a collar made of an old potato sack. it is itchy, and even Miska admits that it is uncomfortable, but she still wears it, purely for the sentimental value.
Where did she come from?Mishka wasn’t born in the pastures she now walks through. She used to live in a russian farm. There were almost no cows on this farm, as most of its acreage was taken up by potato crops. In fact, miska was the only cow on the farm, kept by the children for companionship. The young calf was built for the brutal russian winters, she the way that the freshly fallen snow crunched under her hooves. After school, the children would play with her, and she would pull them through the snow on a small sled. As winter would turn to spring and then spring to summer, the potatoes would be ready for harvest. The children would play with her less and less, as they had to help with the farm work. Burlap sacks filled the barn during this time, ready to be loaded with the year's harvest. Slowly, the sacks were loaded up and driven off in truckloads. By the beginning of august, there were only a few left. The rest of the summer seemed to slip by, but certain things were different. There was less feed, and the children were mending their clothes, cutting the seams to make dresses longer. One morning, the sun just beginning to touch the frosty horizon, the children ran to miska and flung their arms around her, crying. She was confused. Why were they crying? The farmer tugged on a rope, and she was pulled onto the truck bed. The farmer closed up the truck, and the youngest child placed a handsewn collar around her neck. It was made of a potato sack.
Personality:If you want something, you're gonna have to earn it. There's nothing free in this world. It's cruel, unfair, and it'll hit you while you're down, but it's ours.
Quirks:Miska is very superstitious, and has found hundreds of penny's over the years. She gives them to the calves of the meadow, so that they 'stay lucky'.
