Their fondest memory:

There was a new visitor in the barn, but it wasn’t just any visitor. It was a child. The barn didn’t get many human visitors, especially not children, so this was a rare occurrence. The baby bovine was anxious that the young human might laugh at her large ears. She always felt like they made her stick out, and they definitely made her the topic of most jokes. Bambi hid behind an older heifer, hoping the child wouldn’t see her and her big silly ears.

The child moved from cow to cow, petting each, but none caught his attention for long. He eventually approached Amour, who Bambi had been hiding behind, and when he did, she stepped out of the way, leaving him face to face with Bambi.

The little boy began to beam with joy. Bambi’s body tensed up, anticipating that his smile was one of amusement, and that a joke or insult would soon follow.

He gave the little calf a huge hug, and began rubbing her soft ears. “You’re the cutest cow ever! I love your fluffy ears!” He exclaimed happily. Bambi smiled warmly, and for the first time, she loved her ears too.

Their fondest memory:

She remembered fondly of the way her heart raced and her adrenaline had spiked; feeling the cold, polished wood of the stage beneath her feet. It wasn't her first rodeo- living in the limelight, but that rush of ecstasy as the curtain opened always ignited the fire in her veins. Theatre was her escape. Theatre was her oxygen, her sustenance...her lifeline, and her eyes shown brightly as the curtains had opened and she began her soliloquy.

Playing the lead was something, however, that she was not accustomed to. That was her first time playing such a prominent role in a musical, but she had practiced all of her life to be able to show her skills and make a name for herself. She had loved theatre since she was young, watching them on Broadway and on television, and now that she was old enough, she could do what she had wanted to do ever since she was able to remember.

How she yearned to be back under the spotlights, to hear the whoosh of the curtains as they opened and closed... but for now, she'll find bittersweet comfort in the memories of bright lights and standing ovations.

Collar color: Maybe have it look like a lil map c:
Their fondest memory:

Ferns littered the floor and all matter of vines and wild fruits dangled from the canopy above. Light filtered through the treetops and dappled the foliage with a golden light, giving Ponya and her expedition team a promising feeling.

For years they had wandered this jungle, mapping out every trail they made, every landmark they found, and every hole they nearly fell in. Ponya was renowned explorer, known for her published books on her exploratory journeys and expeditions through the many rain forests and jungles of Asia. This particular trek, however, was to be her finest and most rewarding! She and her team sought the lost city of Bām̐sa; an ancient civilization that disappeared centuries ago and, according to legend, left stores of bamboo made from solid gold.

Bamboo was what they worshiped as it gave them life, so they cast it in gold and hid it, never to be found. On this very trip, Ponya would be the first to discover archaeological remains of the lost city, the foundations of buildings and empty metal chests. While no golden bamboo was found, simply finding the start of this once great people gave Ponya the feeling of victory, a feeling she'd never forget.

Their fondest memory [200/200]:

the first barn was soft. it was tender, it was warm. being under her mother's care was something aveline always ached to feel again, but alas, she never did.

away with a new life.

the second was cold. it was unfriendly, it was sullen. aveline could almost feel the menacing glares of the resident cows piercing through her skin, all of them longing for something new.

away with a new life.

the third was quick. it was fleeting, it was gone in a blink of an eye. aveline assumed it was temporary, but her stay was a major improvement from the last. but something wasn't right.

away with a new life.

the fourth was unique. it was odd, it was something special. cows of all types were there, spending their days mooing about subjects aveline couldn't ever get a grasp on.

away with a new life.

there it was. maybe it was the radiant sunlight that sparkled throughout the fields, or possibly even the delighted chatter of cows that filled her ears upon her arrival. the fifth was perfect. it was quaint, but it was sweet.

what seemed like a long forgotten smile appeared on aveline's face.

she was home.

Name: Minilla
Collar color: Seafoam green with a silverbell
Their fondest memory:

Minilla first opened her eyes on a chilly December night. When she first opened her eyes, she slowly gazed at the herd of cows now coming over to see the birth of the new calf. Although confused and a slight bit uncomfortable, Minilla remained calm as each of the herd members created a barrier to protect her as the sun wouldn't be coming up for a while. As she was slowly drifting back into slumber, Minilla was gently nudged awake by her mother. The herd suddenly moved back allowing a little more room for both mother and calf.

Step by Step, Minilla slowly tried to raise her thin, little legs to support her body as her mother slightly nudged from behind for additional support. At last, after a hard battle of balance and strength from her fragile new body, Minilla was taking her first steps. She took in the chill night air and the soft snow gracefully falling onto her muzzle. As the night came to an end, Minilla finally rested in the soft snow as her mother joined her side for a peaceful rest.

Collar color: any collar and a black and white (like a panda) bell please <33
Their fondest memory:
T'mia's fondest memory is simple, meeting her herd sister, Jasper Marie. It was a cold night when she heard the horn of a new arrival go off, excited she runs out, and being the clumsy mess she is she falls, lands on the calf. "I'm so so sorry miss!" T'mia exclaims, smelling and looking at her to make sure she is ok. "I'm fine ma'am" the small calf giggles, trying her hardest not to cry from laughing. T pants, her face going red from embarrassment, the calf's face grows upset worrying she has caused trouble. Jasper bumps her head against T's chest as a sign of comfort/support, T'Mia smiles her face returning to it's golden color. They bond, eat dinner together every night, talk all day and night, explore with each other, and more. "That's probably the one, my best memory" T'mia tells Aria, she leans over in excitement slipping in a witty comment here and there. T giggles sharing this memory always makes her happy. She returns the calf to her herd and goes out to dinner with Jasper Marie, her best friend, and her younger sister.
