Name You'd Choose for It: Billiea (Bill- lay-a)
Gender: Female
Reason You Want It:I have always had a fondness for border collies and when I first saw this little girl I immediately bonded with her. She drew my attention and kept it. I would love to have her in my family and I hope my form shows it. I love her heart shaped marking and will be putting it into my story. I really don't go for pets because of their makers because that wouldn't be fair. I love for ones that I know Ill bond with and love for the rest of their days and Billiea was just one such dog. I've never been aloud to have a border collie though I love then very much so Billiea will always have a special place in my heart. It would mean to world for me to recieve her and I'd be sure to shower her with as much devotion as I show my other babies. If i do get her she will be enters ito the kennels and a Dog sim.

Billiea's markings are naturally colered and could be called natral except for the heart shaped markings she bears on both sides. Her fur is shiny and clean at time, at times its dirty. It is a short to long in the winter and sometimes she sheds.
Eyes:
Her eyes are alert and focused, clearly showing the intelligence of her breed. She appears to look into your soul with them. Her eyes hold great soul in them, and that is one of the reasons she is so loved and admired.
Intelligence:
Her breed is one known as the smartest dog, and she shows it well. Liea is extremely intelligent and seems to know what humans are saying when she sees them. Shes not smart as a human, but she is very intelligent and that's what sets her apart from the others.
Personality:
Liea is challenging but loving, and has a huge heart for work and her family. She always trys her best wether it's in the fields or at a show. She loves being around humans but what will she do when those same humans abandon her. She turns to the wild in her, very adaptable she adapts to whatever the environment throws at her. Head strong she never gives up, and always strives to go the distance.
She excels in hunting and many of the dogs in their wild pack trust in her to find them food. She does know that there are humans at the edge of the untouched lands but she feels no need to return to her pet life style. She prefers living on the edge. If given the choice to stay with her pack or to go with human, she would pick her pack.
She would give her life for any or her pack, without a second given thought. She however doesn't like fights and to start one is to set of events you wont like. She is motherly and protective, a perfect combination for her breed. She always goes the distance to protect a pack member from danger no mater what it takes.
Likes:
Billiea loves running, she used to herd sheep as a profession. She uses her love for running in constructive ways, such as hunting for the pack. Without her skills with running, the pack may have begun going hungry. She taught them herding skills necessary to bring down game.
Hunting is one of her few loves, and she feels accomplished when shes doing it. She is an expert tracker and herder so she can help alot in hunts. The first week she was on her own she learned silence gains you more then barking does, this made her a better hunter.
Rivers are her favorite water source and she often hangs around them, and washes in them. She keeps her coat shiny this way, and prides on being this clean.
Dislikes:
Going near humans is her main dislike, they have done her wrong and she doesnt feel they deserve her presence. She wont go near the edge of the untouched lands because of her history.
History:
I had lived the live of a papered show pet and herding dog, always having every comfort I wanted. I never had to need anything, as it was always provided. Heck my humans didn't even feed me normal dog food, but gave me real meat instead. They prided me on my lovely markings , saying I was a gift. How little did I know my life would soon change and not for the better. My time was limited, as my winning streak ended so did my owners love for me.
It began gradually, I didn't even notice till it was too late. At first they'd leave me out later and later, soon not letting me in the house at all. They began cutting back on my fine meals, sometimes forgetting to feed me at all so I had to scavenge for food. I became thin, my fur matted with mud from the rainy nights as I waited for it too end.
The end came on a cold, dark and rainy night in the middle of September. That day my owner had ingnored me and in fact had brought another puppy into the house. She was another border collie with a pretty face.
'Be careful and dont get attached to them because when you lose they'll throw you out too.' I thought darkly, laying in the dirt by the barn. My heart shaped markings and calico like marking where barely visible anymore from the mud caked on my coat.
That night was dark, rainy and cold, I lay shivering in the mud. The door opened and I had hope maybe they had come around but the master came out with a rope and his keys. I didn't know what was going on but I was sure it wasn't good and slowly stood up, mud pooled of me in rivets. He tied the rope around the loop in my collar and led me to the truck. 'This is it.' I though my head lowered in remorse that I hadn't lived a longer life. I knew where I was probably going, all dogs went there when their owners no longer wanted them, or so I thought.
To my surprise my owner did not drive towards the pound, instead he drove away from it towards the untouched lands. They where named that because no human would set foot on them. My owner pulled up next to the border of these lands and pulled on the rope.
'Out you get!' he said harshly, pulling me out of the car. I whimpered in protest but jumped out. He untied the rope an threw it into the woods. "Get outa here!" he yelled at me, before getting back into the truck and restarting it. He was abandoning me, I knew it the minute he stopped here. I didn't know what my life would hold but I knew whatever it was I would adjust, and grow stronger from this experience.
Ps: I woudve love to add alot more to this but my time ran out.
I understand that by adopting this creature I take full responsibility for it.
