[sleepily]

✘ name ❝ My name is Belle. ❞
✖ Belle's name, meaning "Beautiful", was passed down to her from her mother. Being the petite, and quite lovely fae she is, she had been named for her looks, which she thought was rather unusual. Belle has stuck with the name ever since, liking it, but not so sure about the meaning.

✘ age ❝ Two years old. ❞
✖ Belle was born in the month of April, Belle has had an easy life walking this Earth. There's not much to it.

✘ gender ❝ Fae. ❞
✖ Otherwise known as a female, Belle is most definitely a fae. Her petite size and sleek coat do not look similar at all to a male's muscular body/

✘ personality ' Shy, sweet, soft-hearted. '
✖ Belle is made up of a sweet-heart, having multiple soft spots for all sorts of things. She is very shy and timid, but also being very tranquil. She is the silent-type, but loves to communicate with her friends. She does not, however, like others to treat her badly, and nor does she like being bossed around. Although she is shy, she is not afraid to stand up for herself and her friends.



✘ rank ❝ I am the Lead dog. ❞
✖ Belle enjoys her job as lead dog, and is very responsible with it.



✘ family ❝ I am an only child. ❞
✖ Being the single pup in her family, Belle was forced to learn things on her own when her parents were taken in by the pound. He youth life was never easy, but she managed to find a way to enjoy life this way.

✘ mate ❝ No one. ❞
✖ Belle patiently waits for that one brute to make her heart skip a beat, but she does not know when the time will come.

✘ crush ❝ No one. ❞
✖ Belle patiently waits for that special brute.



✘ history ❝ It wasn't always to perfect. ❞
✖ Belle was born in the back of an alley, being the only child in her family. When her parents wandered off to get food, they never returned, and were soon taken in by the pound.

✘ username 'Turtles Can Run.'

✘ what you'd like to be called 'Robin, or Turtles.'

✘ other ' The picture DOES NOT belong to me, though I'd appreciate if you don't take it from this exact form, only because it's kind of like copying. I use this character a lot, so I will notice if you 'copy' this form.

✘ name ❝ My name is Eli. ❞
✖ Eli's name originated from his lack of beliefs, which his mother thought about quite a lot. Thinking it had something to do with the spirits watching over them, she decided to name him Eli, for it's unique, strange meaning having to do with kind spirits. Eli has always gone by his first name, and can go by his childhood nickname, Lie.

✘ age ❝ Three years and six months old. ❞
✖ Born in the month of September, Eli has been roaming this Earth for nearly four years. Three years and six months, also known as three and a half years, isn't very old for a wolf. If you multiply his age by human years, you'll most likely get around twenty one human years. He continues to trudge along in the snow during Winter, and pad through the colorful forests in Spring and Fall. He doesn't plan on being an elder, though he knows when the time will come.

✘ gender ❝ Brute. ❞
✖ Also known as male, Eli is most definitely a brute. One cannot mistake him for a fae due to his muscular body and large size.

✘ personality ' Honest, loyal, dependable, caring, open-minded. '
✖ Eli is full of honesty, making him the most loyal and dependable of dogs. He is very trustworthy, and can keep a secret or two. He is very caring, and is always willing to share. He is open-minded, creating his ability to socialize quite well. He doesn't care much about first impressions, or what anyone thinks of him. He can, however, be quite over protective over his loved ones.
When meeting others, Eli doesn't care of how they try to act. Whether they are flirty faes, or aggressive brutes, Eli does his best to bring the good side of him out.



✘ rank ❝ I am a Team dog. ❞
✖ Eli isn't very proud of his rank, but seems to enjoy it.



✘ family ❝ I have two sisters and one half brother. ❞
✖ Eli used to take care of his sisters, but wasn't very warm around his half brother, Elan.

✘ mate ❝ No one. ❞
✖ Eli does not have a mate, though he patiently waits for that special fae that he hopes will stay with him forever.

✘ crush ❝ No one. ❞
✖ Eli not have a crush just yet, but wonders if anyone else would like him back.



✘ history ❝ A pretty average one. ❞
✖ Eli was born in the junkyard, soon being taken in by his previous owner, and being left in the pound. Soon after, he escaped, and is now a racing dog, still waiting to be taken in by a trainer.

.ღ. Now Open and Accepting~ .ღ.

[Socks + Lani]

.{reserved for my female swing dog and male wheel dog [if that's ok c:]}.

.ღ. And as I say it louder, I love how it sounds .ღ.

I've practiced this for hours, gone 'round and 'round
And now I think that I've got it all down
And as I say it louder I love how it sounds
'Cause I'm not taking the easy way out

Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

It's no surprise, I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

It came out like a river once I let it out
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Held onto it forever just pushing it down
Felt so good to let go of it now

Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
There's nothing here in this soul left to say

Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
God knows we tried to find an easier way
Yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise

If I could see the future and how this plays out
I bet it's better than where we are now
But after going through this
It's easier to see the reason why

It's no surprise, I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

>> Name <<
"It's Vida" Indeed it is! The fiery husky goes by the name of Vida. It's a very dark sounding name, though graced with a light and bouncy meaning. The name is Spanish for 'Life', as she managed to be the only pup surviving when her mother unexpectedly gave birth on a walk, trying to find her mate to warn him about the new team. Don't try calling her anything except possibly Vi, if you're her friend. Otherwise it's just Vida to you.

>> Gender <<
"EXCUSE me?!" Oh dear, you have offended her! Vida takes great pride in knowing that she is a female, and hates being told that she can't do this or that because of her gender. It is very patronizing and she wishes that everyone would just grow up and learn that they're not exactly superman themselves. In other words, she is female and offended you would think otherwise.

>> Age <<
"I am 162. Now go away" Charming; I think you'll agree. Well, Vida is no where near that age, only being three in human years, or twenty-one in dog years. She has not yet had a litter of pups, although she is a bit scared of being a mother. However, Vida is more mature than dogs her age, although she can have fun when she wants.

"Anyone can be a genuis; it just takes hard work, determination and a bit of failure to finally succeed"

>> Personality <<
"I'm a magical elf that flies around sprinkling the world with happiness and butterflies! Of course not! Imbecile" As proved just then, Vida is a very sarcastic dog. Sarcasm is pretty much second nature to Vida, and it literally drips off her tongue. Vida can seem cold-hearted and careless but, truth be told, she has a serious attitude. Vida is one of those dogs who doesn't take any cr*p from anyone. Sarcastic as she is, Vida is also witty and funny, always up for a good laugh. She's a bit of a prankster, always making mischeif wherever possible. However, Vida is short-tempered and hot-headed. She is a very stubborn dog, and will never admit she is wrong, even when she knows she is. She has a very short temper that can easily be set off, ecspecially when she thinks she is being made fun of. Some may call her sensitive for this reason, although many say she is prone to overreact. To go with being stubborn, Vida is deathly loyal and would never abandon her friends when they need her. She won't back down and stares danger in the face. No one can deny that she is partially fearless. Despite all this, Vida is a loving fae who wants nothing more than to start a family one day. She is caring and has a strong maternal instinct. Vida finds herself drawn to pups, and loves them to bits. Vida could be classified as a loner, although it's just that Vida doesn't trust easily, thanks to some unfortunate mishaps in the past. You should be OK, though. Win her trust and you have a friend for life, no matter what the odds.

>> Rank <<
"I am a swing dog" Truth is, Vida used to be a navigator; the dog that figured it all out, whose job it was to remember where everything was, what path to take and then to report to the leader. At first, Vida struggled in her new position, but now she is thriving and one of the best and most useful dogs in the team.

.ღ. Our favourite place we used to go .ღ.

I was blown away, what could I say?
It all seemed to make sense
You're taking away everything
And I can't do without

I try to see the good in life
But good things in life are hard to find
We're blowing away, blowing away
Can we make this something good?

Well, I'll try to do to it right this time around, let's start over
I'll try to do it right this time around, it's not over
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me but your the only one, it is not over

I've taken all I can take and I cannot wait
We're wasting too much time
Being strong, holding on
Can't let it bring us down

My life with you means everything
So I won't give up that easily
Blowing away, blowing away
Can we make this something good?
'Cause it's all misunderstood

Well, I'll try to do to it right this time around, let's start over
I'll try to do it right this time around, it's not over
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me but you're the only one, it is not over

You can't let this get away
Let it out, let it out
Don't get caught up in yourself
Let it out

Let's start over
I'll try to do to it right this time around, it's not over
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me but you are the only one, it's not over

Let's start over, it's not over, oh yeah
This love is killing me but you're the only one, it's not over

>> History <<
"Did your mother never tell you not to stick your nose into another dogs business? Go away" Vida does not like to talk about her history, as her life has been painful and not free of complications. As a pup, Vida was born to a top sledder; Akiak. He was a brave, strong brute who was also kind and loving to his family and friends. Her mother, however, was one of the 'outsiders'. The Outsiders, as they were known, were the dogs who had no owners. They called them outsiders, because the stupid pedigree dogs supposed that the ones they despised so much had no idea how to sled. They were wrong. Born to an Outsider and a champion, Vida didn't exactly fit in. She was teased, bullied and at some points beaten until she could barely move. But the fae did not give up. Slowly, Vida began to push her way up the ranks. As she began to get closer to the front of the pack, Vida met Samson, her first mate. At a year old, she had just reached the time when she could first have puppies. Although, that hadn't been the ideal situation for her master. When he found out that Vida was pregnant with pups, he was very angry. He beat Vida and drank, taking all his frustration out on the fae. His brutal attacks killed the pups stirring in her belly. Then, one day, her owner bundled up Vida and sold her off at a private auction. Her next master was no better; drinking, abusing and not caring for his dogs. One day, Vida could not take it any more and collapsed. She put up with his beatings, but she did not get up, did not move. The other dogs brought her food and water, as it was all they could do for the poor fae. Then, on the annual vet visit, their luck turned. The vet found Vida with a broken leg, and the master was jailed for animal abuse. Vida was then nursed back to health, before being put up for adoption in the shelter. When no-one bought her, they thought they were going to have to put her down. Then, once again, her luck changed. Skye had persuaded Kory to look for a new dog in the shelter, as one of their oldest sledders had died in a blizzard. Spotting Vida, Skye convinced Kory to but the fae. Not that Kory needed convincing. From the moment he saw her, Kory pitied the fae, but he also saw her potential. Finally, Vida had a home, and this time, it was a good one. Then, a few years later, Kory and Skye shipped her off here and taught her to become a swing dog. She misses her old handler and master, but finds yet another good, healthy life with her new friends.

>> Family <<
"Erm..." She had no siblings and has no idea whether her parents live. So, that's what is with the 'Erm...'

.ღ. This love is killing me, but you're the only one .ღ.

She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too

It's a long day, livin' in Reseda
There's a freeway, runnin' through the yard
And I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'

All the vampires, walkin' through the valley
Move west down, Ventura Blvd.
And all the bad boys, are standing in the shadows
All the good girls, are home with broken hearts

And I'm free, I'm free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'

I wanna glide down, over Mulholland
I wanna write her, name in the sky
I wanna free fall, out into nothin'
Gonna leave this, world for awhile

And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'

And I'm free, free fallin'
Oh!

Free fallin'
And I'm free, oh! free fallin'

>> Crush <<
"Uh... no?" No, Vida has no crush on any dog, although she wouldn't just give herself up to any random dog. They have to be special to her, someone who understands her and treats her as an equal.

>> Mate <<
"That ended badly last time" Vida has no mate, but you have to win her heart before you can fill this position

>> Description <<
"Blind as a bat" Vida is a tall, lanky dog with obvious muscles that ripple under her soft coat. Her fur is not long, but not short either. It is more fluffy than furry, though she resents anyone saying that. Vida's patches are a dark-grey, almost black colour, broken only by her piercing blue eyes. Her tail curls around and lands softly on her back, unlike some huskies whose tails just curl straight around. The inside of her ears are a very light shade of pink, hardly even distinguishable from white. Her underbelly is white, as is the underside of her tail. All up her legs are white, as is her muzzle. She has a white stripe running from her forehead to connect to the white on her muzzle. Her nose is black, with a ripple of very dark pink-red running down the middle.

>> Eyes <<
"I use 'em to turn others into stone. Just kidding" Vida's eyes are blue, as blue as the sky and as cold as ice, although they do not do such a good job of her generally fun-loving nature.

>> Other <<
yes, quite a bit, actually c: the credit for the content and formatting of this form goes to Flea, although original template credit goes to Turtles Can Run. yes, i created this from your much more simple form, and it took a while too! the picture is not mine, and i represent all credit to the rightful owner. please do not copy/use this form without asking me first, but i may allow you use of it if you ask nicely c:

Name ⊱ "Well, I'm not going to tell you over and over and over again, I'm only going to say it once. And you will remember. My name is Duke, and that is it. Simply Duke. I have no nicknames, so you will be forced to call me by my one, true, real name. Don't like it; deal with it."

Gender ⊱ "Do I really look like a fae to you? Of all the absurd things you could ask me, you choose to ask what gender I am?! Really, I should not even dignify that with an answer, but it seems that you really need to know, and obviously are too pea-brained to figure it out, so I am a male. A brute, a guy or whatever you want to call it, but I am male."

Age ⊱ "Well, I am not an old dog, but I am not a pup either. I am of average age; somewhere smack dab in the middle. How old, exactly? About Four years in human, which is twenty-eight in dog years, so I'm adolescent; to say the least. Yes, that means I can father pups. I just haven't found the right fae yet. I'm not like those juvenile hooligans that you see around the street; I have a shred of self-respect."

Personality ⊱ Duke is a generally sweet, generous and helpful dog. He is kind-hearted and loves helping out at whatever chance he gets. Duke is a big hit with pups, and often hangs around the nursery, helping the pregnant faes out. He enjoys the company of others and is super-friendly. Duke is bubbly and bright, never letting anything get him down. However, Duke is not soft-spoken and isn't afraid to stand up and voice his opinions. Duke is incredibly imaginative. He isn't quite creative, but is more of a total dreamer with his head in the clouds. He will often zone out during training sessions, but this doesn't usually affect his performance as Duke is bred for things like this. Duke trusts easily, and is always ready to think the best of someone. This dog hands out second chances like Santa Claus hands out presents, which may be a bad thing when it comes to his own safety. However, Duke is easily upset. The slightest comment can set him off, so you have to be careful about what you say around him. Duke will often overreact to a situation, but will always apologize for his outburst afterwards. All in all, Duke is a very pleasant dog, although he may be a little too trusting. Sometimes, he just needs a helping hand to show him the right way.

Rank ⊱ "I am a wheel dog. Y'know, the ones that stand at the back and look like they do nothing whatsoever? Well, we are an important position in the team so there. Don't you go all 'Oh, you're just some idiot wheel-dog' because we are important, thank you very much you snobby idiot. Yes, we are typically large because we're the ones that actually do the most work when turning the sled, because we're closer to the sled than the others are"

History ⊱ Duke was hit by a car when he was young and left stranded on the side of the road. Though he was not seriously injured, he did suffer memory loss. It no longer affects him, as the lack of knowledge of those first three of four months of her life is fairly common in canines. No one really remembers their life as a baby, after all. However, at the time, it was shattering. Slowly, Duke regained his confidence and is now a capable adult dog.

Family ⊱ Duke's mother was Duchess and his father was a wolf with no name given by the sled dogs. He has four siblings; two females and two males. He does not know if they are alive, as they were separated at a young age. He does know that his mother is alive, but his father is questionable, as he was not nicknamed the 'snow shadow' for nothing.

Crush ⊱ OK; he'll admit it. He secretly likes his partner in crime; [insert hale storm's wheel dog here]. Of course, he knows that she would never like him back, as he is just a stupid, lumbering idiot as he was once named by a former dog, with whom he'd become very annoyed and gouged his ears off. However, that's beside the point. The real point is he likes [name], though he won't ever earn her love in return.

Mate ⊱ "A mate? Is that a joke? Well, if you know that I have a crush that will never like me back, then you would know that I do not have a mate. I mean, if I was in love with her, why would I mate with another fae? Do you ever think before you speak? No, I assumed as much. I am waiting for that special someone, and you can try to impress me and win my heart. I don't ask for much"

Description ⊱ It would be hard to mistake Duke for a fae, as he is huge. That is the only word that does justice to his size. Duke is abnormally tall and built with so much muscle it makes him look ridiculous. Luckily, he does not have very thick fur, otherwise he would look fat. Thanks to his father, he has very unruly, faintly soft fur. He is a very scruffy dog, and his tail is a replica of a wolf's. His colouring is a light black, at some points very dark grey, which he inherited from his father. He also has blue eyes, set on a predominantly white face. He has a white underbelly and legs, but that is it.

Eyes ⊱ Duke's eyes are a very bright blue, always sparkling with mischief and adventure. His eyes really are the gateway to his soul. The only flaw in the perfect skies that are his irises is that each has a splinter of jade-green running from the edge of his eye to the pupil. This splinter runs in the corner closest to the edge of his face on either side.

Other ⊱ yes, quite a bit, actually c: the credit for the content and formatting of this form goes to Flea, although original template credit goes to Turtles Can Run. yes, i created this from your much more simple form, and it took a while too! the picture is not mine, and i represent all credit to the rightful owner. please do not copy/use this form without asking me first, but i may allow you use of it if you ask nicely c:
