I am looking to adopt...Picture:

When we first talked to each other
I knew we would always be friends.
Our friendship has kept on growing
And I'll be here for you to the end.
You listen when I have a problem
And help dry the tears from my face.
You take away my sorrow
And put happiness in its place.
We can't forget the fun we've had
Laughing 'til our faces turn blue.
Talking of things only we find funny
People think we're insane-If they only knew!
I guess this is my way of saying thanks
For catching me when I fall.
Thanks once again for being such a good friend
And being here with me through it all.

Kennel number: p90
Name: Raechel Galbreith Thompson; known as Rae or Gail for short. Was named after the poet mentioned to the right.
Breed: As strange as it seems, Rae is a husky and fox mix. She has absolutely nothing to do with wolves, though she looks a lot like one.
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?: I've been wandering through PoH for a while now, looking for that one, perfect character for me. But all of the attempts I've made to catch those beauties slipped right through my fingers. Milo and Mina, the dog and cat duet. Given away to three little birds. Dawnn, the winged wolf wonder. Never given away. Now, I know for certain: Rae is the one for me. When I first saw Raechel, the first thing that came to my head was a story. A simple, wondrous story. Not too long, but not too short, either. Just perfectly sitting in the middle. As I watched her for a good five minutes, the ideas flowed through my mind like a raging river, the thoughts coursing through the streams of my brain. I could see her past, her history, her life flashing before me. And then I knew; Raechel must be mine.
I've been looking for a fursona for quite a while now. Unlike my older sister Th13f, I absolutely adore complicated designs, and once I stopped to steal a glance at the beauty that is Raechel, I decided right then and there; she is the perfect one for me. I couldn't help but notice that in her preferences, it says to treat her like a fursona. Ah, but that's exactly what she'll be in my care. A greatly loved, forever drawn fursona. She will be adorned with art, as I love to draw. I'll literally pay everything I have to get even more art of this beauty. All my points on DeviantART? They'll be given away for commissions. My two thousand and ten pets on here? Just a small price to pay to get my hands on this lovely gal.
Personality: Rae is a very sweet, slightly-bonkers girl that absolutely adores a good time. She shows a great deal of interest in everything, with a childlike perspective to it. She rarely dislikes anyone, but when she does, watch out. To mess with her or her friends is to fight a raging bull, smoke pouring out its nostrils.
Sweetest Tomboy You Know}
Rae is probably the nicest girl you'll ever meet, having been raised a proper and polite lady.
...
Or, so her mother thought.
While Rae is a kind girl with a pure heart of gold, she is a tomboy with a slight bit of an attitude. She hates it when you mess with her friends, or random strangers, for that matter. Rae believes everyone deserves a second chance, no matter what they've done. Everyone can be forgiven in her opinion, as she, too, has done the unforgivable. While she regrets it every day, she knows that all you can do is forgive the inexcusable in others. Her golden rule truly is, "Treat others as you want to be treated."
Sugar, Spice, Gunpowder and Lead}
Gail can sometimes be a rowdy, punkish girl that just wants things her own way. Suffice to say, Rae is very stubborn and hotheaded. Her theme song is 'Gunpowder and Lead' by Miranda Lambert, hence the title of this personality trait.
A Goofy, Fun Loving Psycho}
This trait pretty much speaks for itself. While Rae certainly isn't the brightest or the prettiest, she's one with a pure heart. She can cheer you up in your darkest of days, although some of her ideas make you question her sanity. Rae cracks jokes every five minutes, or seconds, depending on how bored she is. Some of these jokes make you giggle uncontrollably, or just stare at her as if she's insane. You know she is. But we all love her anyways.
Likes: Shira and Cheyenne (

She treats these two as if they were her own pups. Even though they've only met once so far, they have a strong bond already.
Felidae, a Sokoke kitten.}
Felidae, or Feli as Rae calls her, is Rae's pet kitten. Rae loves this kit to death. She hates cats, usually, but for some reason, she took Feli in. Maybe because she's always wanted to be a mother?
Her friends}
Of course, Rae loves her friends. They're always there for her, as depicted in the poem, and they'll stay by her side forever more. How could she not love them?!
Dislikes: Everything else}
...
Although this is pretty much self explanatory, I'll explain anyways. You see, Rae isn't that social, and usually doesn't like anyone outside her little posse. So she has a tendency to despise everything she is unfamiliar with. Strange, isn't it? Especially since she's a social butterfly...
History/Background: February 28, 1999}
It was a warm spring evening the day I was born. The leaves on the trees were turning a beautiful forest green. I heard a bird singing its beauteous songs as I curled up next to my mother, whining pathetically. I looked up at her with my big green eyes, opening them for the first time in weeks. She smiled down at me, her soft tongue lapping over my ears as she sang a melodious lullaby.
"Goodnight, sleep tight,
No more tears.
In the morning,
I'll be here.
And when we say goodnight,
Dry your eyes.
Because we say goodnight,
And not goodbye.
We say goodnight,
And not
Goodbye."
A year later~
The day has finally come. My first hunting trip with Papa. I'm so excited, I can barely keep still. Papa notices and chuckles, nuzzling my face.
"Calm down, little one," he says, unable to suppress a laugh. "We're almost there. Be patient."
I giggled and batted at his muzzle. "C'mon, Papa!" I urge him on eagerly. "All the prey's gonna go to waste if we just sit here!"
Papa gives that mighty chuckle of his, flicking his tail. "You know, Raechel... You're just like your mother, when she was this age."
I freeze. It's been two months since Mama died. Was shot by a poacher, Papa said. I blink slowly, and look up to Papa, tail twitching in admiration. "R-really?" I whisper, my ears pricking up to detect even a mouse's paw-steps.
Papa nods, a smile on his face. "Really. I met her when she was your age; did you know that?"
I shake my head no. "She never really liked to talk about stuff like that," I say. "She said it was too mushy and lovey-dovey for her liking."
Papa laughs and pads along, telling me more stories about Mama. "Did you know we met on a hunting trip? Yes, really! I remember clearly; I was chasing after an elk. Had been for the past two days. Yes, two days! I'd gone without food, water, and rest to catch this buck for the pack, when suddenly, out of nowhere, this beautiful fae comes along." At this, he gets a dreamy look in his eyes. "She had charcoal grey fur, with the most gorgeous green eyes I'd ever seen. I'd stopped to watch her when she sprung into the chase, lunging for that buck's neck! I'd never seen any fae as daring and courageous as she was, so you can imagine my shock. Then, in a melodious voice, she said those seven words that made my heart melt."
I pause, looking up at him curiously. "What'd she say, Papa?" I ask, thinking it's the most romantic thing ever.
He sighs dreamily. "With eyes full of fury, she yelled at me, 'Stop staring and help me, you idiot!'"
I can't contain my laughter. "She really said that?" I giggle, tripping over my own paws as I continue forward.
Papa laughs and says, "Yes, but at this time, it was romantic for a fae to even talk to me."
I snorted and followed Papa through the thick brush, the tall grass tickling my nose. Suddenly, Papa crouches down on his haunches, motioning for me to copy his movements. "Shh," he hisses. "If we make any noise, we'll scare it away."
I immediately glance around wildly, searching for a sign of life. Suddenly, I see it. A small, skinny fawn, perhaps a few months old. It appears she's been separated from her mother.
Papa looks to me, a mischievous glint in his cerulean eyes. He whispers in my ear, "Stay here and watch how it's done, kiddo."
I watch patiently as Papa stalks behind the fawn slowly, carefully. He bares his fangs and lunges--right for the neck.
A struggle takes place as the fawn squeals in terror, trying to buck him off. Papa latches on pretty tight. I can see little red jewels of blood spill over her wounds as she gives a final screech of pain before collapsing, dead to the known world.
Papa looks to me and grins toothily. I pad out, sniffing at the carcass before wagging my tail a mile a minute. "Whoa, Papa!!!! That was amazing! Didja see it die? Man, I wanna be as great a hunter as you are one day!"
Papa roars with laughter, padding along beside me and licking my head. "Of course I saw it die! I killed it, remember? And don't worry; in sure you'll be even better of a hunter than I am, Rae."
Icy fingers of excitement tickle my spine. "Really, Papa? Ya mean it? Really?"
Papa smiled. "Really. I say what I mean and I mean what I say. You'll be the pack hunter soon after I pass, I just know it. But be careful. This world is a dangerous place. I'd be lost if I were to lose you."
I blush. "Papa, stop it," I laugh, "you're embarrassing me!" He chuckles right along with me.
"Alright, my little sunflower. Whatever you say."
