Name
Ashley Moore
ash•ley/ˈaSHlē/ moore/mo͝or/

Both names combined means 'from the ash tree, stately and noble'
I chose this name because this character here before you is based on a person in my own personal life, but not in the way a fursona would. Its how others and I perceive this particular person and my relationship with her. I believe that this is who she really is, but is too afraid to show. And no, my friend’s name is not Ashley, that would be too weird. Ashley Moore is an innocent name with a beautiful meaning and, to me at least, shows a perfect example of what her personality is in a nutshell. A beautiful name to go with a beautiful girl.
Gender
Female
♀♀
While she is female, Ashley prefers the close company of others of her gender. She has shown no apparent interest in the male species, and in the dim occasions she has the males always seem to be gay. Could this be hinting something deeper than I thought?
Breed
Culpeo
Image
The Culpeo (Lycalopex culpaeus), sometimes known as the Culpeo Zorro or Andean fox (wolf), is a South American species of wild dog. It is the second largest native canid on the continent after the maned wolf. In its appearance it bears many similarities to the widely recognized red fox. It has grey and reddish fur, a white chin, reddish legs, and a stripe on its back that may be barely visible.

The Culpeo's diet consists largely of rodents, rabbits, birds and lizards, and to a lesser extent, plant material and carrion. The Culpeo does attack sheep on occasion, and is therefore often hunted or poisoned. In some regions it has become rare, but overall the species is not threatened with extinction.

I think that a Culpeo is the perfect species for Ashley, the resemblance is too familiar. Could Spotty have based her colouration and design on this creature?
Weight
8.1 kg
The average weight for a fully-grown female Culpeo is 8.4kg, Ashley is slightly under that thus making her slimmer. But she is still 'busty'.

Overall
Ashley is one of the funniest people you would ever meet, in the way she walks and talks, her little everyday actions that make others’ lives better. She loves to tell jokes, or just make people laugh with silly gestures. She is very clever in the way she makes jokes out of other people, careful not to offend them in any way possible. She never tells rude or racist jokes, because that is just wrong. Ashley isn't a rebel, and would never cross that path to get to where she wants. Ashley is loyal to her friends and family, to just about anyone really. She would never stab someone in the back, spread rumours about people she doesn't particularly like or anything that would hurt another person. Unless it's just messing around with her friends. Then she just gets on her macho and acts tough in front of them. But they all know she isn't as strong as Ashley portrays in her acting. She is a tad bit over-confident in herself, and would openly and very loudly voice her opinion, often forgetting that the person she may be referring to would be behind her, or not noticing the teacher standing beside her when she starts swearing and getting angry during a class. When Ashley gets angry, it's more gut wrenching funny then scary. Her actions when she's angry just makes you forget what the hell Ashley was angry about and just start laughing at or with her, if she'd gotten over her show of anger. But Ashley clearly doesn't care if she swears in front of a teacher, she knows that she won't get into too much trouble if she covers herself up a bit. Usually the teachers just give her a look and she'll stop, they all know how she is by now. It's hard not to know Ashley once you've seen her. She makes friends fast that my dog running after food. And that's pretty fast. You just need to be near her once to get a taste of what she is all about. Ashley is rather loud and everyone knows that. You can hear her laughter from a long way away.

How & Why?
There is something about her that I have been searching for in a character, but I can't quite put my finger on it. She is just...so pretty. The way that she is so simple, yet still very unique at the same time amazes me. I've always been drawn to complicated characters, and to have a connection with Ashley so instantaneously almost frightened me. I've tried to avoid Spotty's wonderful creations in the past, knowing that many people crave her designs. I was scared that I'd fall in too deep, which I have and why I'm now writing this form. I'm afraid that I won't be able to take this amazing creation and call her my own. But that defiantly will not stop me trying.
I have wanted to write a novel for quite some time, and somehow today whilst at school my friends and I were discussing the topic. I want to write something out of the ordinary, something new. But I didn't know what that would be. Ashley is based on my best bud for a reason, and that reason would become clear in Ashley's history.
Ashley would be used as the main character in my (hopeful) novel, as well as a loved character in my gang here in the pixel world. She would receive art from many different people, be loved by me and become a famous character amongst those who read my novel. She would be treated with the most respect I can offer her. And always be loved ♥

The human side of Ashley
Ashley is a tall teenaged girl. She is of average weight, but has those unmistakable feminine curves. Her hair is boy-cut, but longer. Not like a 'bob' though, a naturally long boy-cut. She has sky-blue eyes and her hair colour is a dark brown with blue steaks running through. She has soft, tanned skin and full lips. She has three piercings in her right ear and two in her left. You can often find her with bows in her hair, wearing bracelets, rings and a silver necklace that has half a butterfly with the word 'best' engraved on it. Her usual outfit is vintage dresses and leather boots.

    I am looking to love and to cherish 'til world's end

    P19. The perfect size and shape for this beauty.

    Image
    Astra Hesperos
    I though long and hard about this - I had decided that a suitable name for this creature had to be beautiful, incongrously striking and definitely unque. It also had to be connected in some way to her appearance, pelt of lineage. In short, it had to be amazing.
    And I think I've found the perfect name for this gorgeous character with such a breath-taking design. Astra Hesperos - 'an evening of [or from] the stars.' Astra is a Greek name, meaning 'from the stars', and Hesperos was a Greek god, son of the God Eos and one of the gods of the evening star Venus. I thought these two went so beautifully together, for not only are they wonderful names in themselves, they perfectly describe her design - as soon as I saw her pelt, I though of stars strewn across a mysterious universe. The gold jewellry adds to her look of an otherwordly being.
    The thick, bold markings and pale eyes immediately imbed themselves in your mind, and make you think of long ago times and dark, curious places, while the dainty markings on her cheek look a little like a cluster of stars, to me :3

    Image
    Bobtailed Vancouver Island Wolf canis lupus crassodon
    The Vancouver Island Wolf is a subspecies of grey wolf, endemic to Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. It is very social with other wolves, and lives in packs of about five to thirty-five. It is an endangered subspecies, very shy, and is rarely seen by humans. The Vancouver Island wolf is of medium size, measuring roughly 26 to 32 inches high, 4 to 5 feet from nose to end of tail, and weighing 65 to 90 pounds. It is usually a mix of grey, brown, and black.

    More information can be found here.

    This girl, this clever, determined wolf, has stolen my heart xD It's rare for me to create a character - in fact, I think I've only ever had three! But if all my emotions and hope and dreams were infused into life, Astra would be the result. The bright, carefully chosen colours; the rich hues of grey, white and gold, with the thick, smooth markings all tell of a vibrant and exciting character, someone who can work to get what she wants. But it's not just her design. Her pose, too, almost leaps off the page at you, paws splayed and eyes gleaming. Her tail, though unusual and different, is held high with life and laughter. Her intricate designs around her muzzle and face immediately draw you to her hesitant, but definitely there smile. She, to me, longs for adventure and for comradeship, for walking through a frost forest in the early hours of the morning, for laughing and teasing and for comforting and reassurance that everything, everything is going to be alright. And I want to give her that adventure.
    I just want to have a character I can love. I want a beautiful, inspiring design and personality compatible with mine. I want to draw her, to write about her, and to just adore her. I'll create a character thread for her, and spend all my pets on art of her :3 I'll start a story in which she will star, along with a few other characters of mine. The story is set in a LOTRish setting, with forests and mountains and elves and dwarfs.

    Image
    outgoing, extrovert, thoughtful, stubborn, clever, likes to think the best of people, has presence of mind, cheerful~

    { O U T G O I N G && E X T R O V E R T && S T U B B O R N }
    Astra is quite unusual in wolf terms, as she is outgoing, adventurous and very much an extrovert - she is overly expressive and not one to hide her feelings. This aspect of her character, though delightful to many, can bring her into serious, heated debates about anything and everything, for Astra is determined to have a strong opinion on every aspect of life. Consequently, she is an excellent decision maker, and though she doesn't necessarily make the right ones, she makes then quick and decisively, installing trust and respect among her friends. However, a negative feature of Astra's is that she is stubborn. She will not back down from anything she has said, despite the overwhelming opposition, who will aim derisive comments at her vainly. But being determined to the point of stubbornness does have its positives; Astra can always be relied upon to get the job done and get the job done well.

    { C H E E R F U L && C L E V E R && T H O U G H T F U L }
    Through all her defeats and stumbles through life, Astra has always remained cheerful and with a positive, albeit extreme, outlook on life. You can tell by her pose [above] that she is a naturally happy-go-lucky character, and always has the time for anyone, no matter how insignificant the problem. You can pour out your heart to this girl, and she won't tell a soul. In fact, she'll do completely the opposite - shell sit with you and work it all out, or just press's her head against you in a comforting, reassuring way. Astra is also very clever, due to her excessive hunting and tracking through the dense forests of her homeland, Scotland. Not only can she track, hunt and kill a deer in in less than a few heartbeats, she can also disguise her beautiful yet abstract pelt with mud, grass, leaves and even the odd pinecone :3

    Astra is unusual in the sense that she has very little material desires - all that
    matters to her is what she can and can't do - leaping and running and swimming she loves;
    boredom she hates. Astra is also very conscious of dissapointment and unsettlement in a group,
    especially when it is directed at her. She can quickly be cheered up by some hunting in the
    snow, though :3 She is a very fickle wolf! <33

    Image

    this is going to be a work in progress for some time, i'm afraid :3

    Image

    I'll try, but I can't promise a masterpiece ^^;

    Image
    I'd just like to thank Spotty, and everyone at the Pound of Hope for giving me this amazing chance to win Astra. I am forever in your debt.

Hi, um, I don't know if this should be here but I really don't like the revamps of my two donations (F36 and F49) as it's very hard to tell what they look like. I went right past them 3 times when I was checking to see if they were still there. Could you possibly change it back to the original images? Sorry if this is spam or against the rules or something!
