NAME scarlet, also known as scar. her old owner called her that because when he found her, she had a large scarlet-red wound tearing her chest. she'd been involved in a fight with a cougar- or, messi, in russian. she still has a rather nasty scar on her chest because of it.
GENDER female. she/her.
AGE two and a half years old. a german shepherd cross with a mutt.
RANK scarlet is a loner. when her owner left her, she flanked the east side, the exact opposite direction of where the forming pack went. if given the chance, she'd definitely join the pack━ as she's a very good hunter, but she cannot fight against a cougar for a large carcass.
APPEARANCE scarlet's got a sleek, feminine frame with short brown fur and large ears. her ears go up to sharp points, and sit atop her head perked up more often than not. she's got a sharp, angled muzzle and slightly slanted brown eyes, with dark brown eyebrow esque markings hovering above them. her legs are long and her body slim, meaning its easy for her to go for a chase after an item of prey━ though it's hard for her to defend herself. despite how short her coat is, its so thick that she can just manage to fight the cold out, yet its not as thick as she'd so hope meaning she gets colder than others. on her chest is a strip of skin that has no fur growing over, a large slash from a cougars strike. and, around her neck is a cream-tan collar, one which her owner left on her. she's yet to figure out just how to get it off.
SCENT scents of freshly fallen snow and damp berries.
PERSONALITY mysterious, snarky, sassy, fiery. scarlet's got quite the mouth on her, and she doesnt like to hold back on her own thoughts. she's also rather honest, protective, loyal and compassionate. if she ever sees someone in need, she'd do anything to help them, especially if theyre seriously wounded or starving. she's quite the mother hen, caring and fierce to those who hurt ones she loves, but on the other hand she's snappish and harsh with her tone. huh, odd mix.
LIKES sprinting, swimming━ no matter how cold the water is, and blizzards. the cold of russia makes her feel alive, which is exactly why she manages to just thrive in this scenario.
DISLIKES the one thing that s he hates more than anything else would have to be cougars. even the word cougar leaves a sour taste in her mouth. theyre annoying giant cats that are riddled with fleas, and she wishes them all dead.
SKILLS she's a speedy runner, and eats the dirt up with ease. additionally, shes one hell of a tracker and can find prey within half an hour tops, even on the most empty of days. lastly, she's also quite a brilliant swimmer, considering the fact that she always takes a dip in lakes whenever she sees one. its just a hobby of hers.
WEAKNESSES she cannot fight for the life of her. her legs are too gangly and her build too willowy, meaning she seriously struggles to defend herself and others. its a pretty bad flaw.
FEARS she has a fear of being killed by a cougar, and also of freezing to death━ as both of those have nearly happened to her in the past already.
SEXUALITY bisexual. additionally, she wants pups someday, whether theyre blood-related to her, or not.
EYES FOLLOW... no one just yet.
PREFERENCES dogs that are cheery and happy-go-lucky types. she appreciates optimism and friendly banter, and also humor━ as she's quite the sassy dog, meaning humor is important. maturity is also appreciated. appearance wise, scarlet doesnt really have a type. she likes thick coats that she can snuggle up to, and dogs that are around her size or bigger.
FAMILY she cant really remember much about her old family. she was born to a she-dog, a pure breed shepherd, and she roughly remembers a very skinny, under-fed male dog who had a short, sleek black coat. a mutt, her father. she was born to a litter of four, but thats all she can remember about them, since she was soon found by her last owner after running away from home for a bit. he was a single father of two little girls, girls that scarlet soon fell in love with.
PAST she doesnt know why her owner left her. why he'd do such a thing. but she doesnt hate him for it, no matter the reason, she could never hate him for it. all she can do now is hope that his two pups are okay, as she loved them dearly.
DEATH.. some day in the future, she's going to die fighting something two-legged. she'll be shot trying to protect a few pups, whether theyre hers or not.
