Wasn't there an app. last round for 18?

There was. We invoked our right to refuse adoption for any reason. We did have our reasons, we didn't reject it to be mean.

Ok, I understand that. I just wanted to know :3

[Dogs Can Bark]

Yay, I got Fabrizio. ^-^ I will definately get art of him and draw some myself.

I noticed my design here wasn't put up. Was there something wrong with it?

The problem was the conditions, not the design. They seemed to be more focused on being cute and funny than getting to the point and offering a character. If you revise them and re-enter when donations are being accepted, we'll take another look.

Name: Ah-da-nv-do
Species: wolf
Personality: Personality: Ah-da-nv-do is quiet, kind and reserved. She likes to listen to people {Well, read their lips to tell what they're saying really, as she is death} and tries to help them with any means at her disposal, as she cares more about other people and their safety and happiness then she does her own. She loves doing things for people, and likes the warm fuzzy feeling inside when someone thanks her. Ah-da-nv-do hates saying no, or being mean for that matter, and often feels bad for days after doing something even remotely harsh. she is also a free spirit, and does what she thinks is right, she does try to Obey the rules, but if she feels about something strong enough, she will do it, no matter what the punishment is.

Likes: Nature, People telling her the truth, Being with loved-ones, Pups
Dislikes: Harsh people with no respect for other's feelings, Destruction, Killing


Background: Ah-da-nv-do was born into a pack with no particular name, But many called it the pack of whispers, as barely anyone saw this pack and the wolves their tended to be quiet and wise. The pack of whispers lived in harmony with all creatures big and small, whether they be carnivore, omnivore or herbivore, They were all treated with respect and love. Many Wolves went to this pack {If they could find it, that is} for knowledgeable advise about anything, knowing that the people there wouldn't judge them, no-matter what they had done. The pack of whispers was renowned for their tolerance, but flip the coin over and you saw a dark underside to this pack, as one thing they wouldn't tolerate was disrespect. If someone was to disrespect any member of the pack, they were put on trial and finally killed in secret if the case was serious. as soon as Ah-da-nv-do was old enough to think without adult influence, she found this out, and being the free spirit she is, spoke out against it. This had consequences of course, and Ah-da-nv-do found herself to be death and alone in the forest, not knowing where she was. Ah-da-nv-do then tried to survive on her own, and it turned out to be quite easy for her, as herpack ex pack had lived of the land, and she already knew what to do. The only problem was her death-ness, as she couldn't hear possible threats, and, even worse, she couldn't catch prey. So, being the smart wolfess she was, she decided to eat berries and fruit until an easy meal came by. She lived that way until she was an adult, when she then desperately wanted to return to her pack and family...

A short story: Ah-da-nv-do laid down in the shade a few meters away from her den. She looked around the amber forest, before letting out a quiet yawn. She sighed and shook her pelt, remembering the life in her pack. Ah-da-nv-do reminisced about her puphood in the pack of whispers, It was mostly good memories, with the occasional creepy one, usually including her and her siblings being led away from a fight scene, before hearing....lets just say some disturbing noises from the wolves involved. She shook the scary thoughts from her mind and stood up, she then started to walk through the forest absent-mindedly, Not knowing which particular destination she was headed. Ah-da-nv-do stomach growled as she then sighted a berry tree in a middle of a clearing, she looked around to see if any danger was nearby, before padding over to it. She stuck her muzzle in and gulped down as many berries as she could swallow, before licking the remains from her chops contentedly. Ah-da-nv-do wolfed down more, the feeling of a full stomach was like heaven, and she smiled as she ate. A feeling of dread suddenly came over her, and Ah-da-nv-do glanced behind herself, before feeling a sharp pain on her side and blacking out....


Ah-da-nv-do slowly opened her eyes, to find a group of familiar faces staring down at her. One red pelted female said something to her, and Ah-da-nv-do made out some of it 'who are you?' Was what she thought the female had said, and being the experienced lip reader she was, she was probably right. Ah-da-nv-do rubbed her green eyes sleepily, before answering " Ah-da-nv-do" She said, her voice thick with sleep. The female nodded, before her attention was drawn to the dream-catcher around Ah-da-nv-do's neck. She picked it up and grasped it in her paws, studying it closely. A few males simply stared boredly, watching the female with no interest what-so-ever, all the females, however, were taken back by the accessory. Ah-da-nv-do looked at them confusedly, wondering what was going on.
"what are you doing?" Ah-da-nv-do asked the group, still very confused about where she was and why she was here.
"I-Is that you Spirit?" The female asked, translating her name from Cherokee into English. Ah-da-nv-do tilted her head as she thought...did she know these people? she wondered about that for a minute, before suddenly, all the memories she had locked away, deep deep inside her head came flooding back, all faces, smells and sights were all flashing through her mind, causing her to space out for a second. Ah-da-nv-do gasped as she remembered the face in front of her.
"Sister?!"

The orange pelted wolf smiled warmly "Yes sister" She said "Its me, Asmita" Ah-da-nv-do read her lips, and tears swelled in her eyes. She got up and faced her sister "I missed you Asmita" She said quietly
"What happened to you?" Asmita asked quickly, a smile on her lips
"I rebelled at the treatment of wolves in out pack...and they...did 'stuff' to me before abandoning me here.... I'm now...death" she managed to say. Asmita's face grew soft
"I'm very sorry...." She said quietly, before looking up to the sky, a thinking expression on her face.
"If you're...death, Then how do you know what I'm saying ?" She asked, Studying her sister with deep curiosity
"I can read your lips" Ah-da-nv-do said, before looking down at the floor sadly "Its easy enough to do, It just takes practice"
"Enough talk" A male interjected "We need to get back", He then padded off. Other wolves started to follow, and Ah-da-nv-do stared after them, confused...
"Sorry about him" Asmita sighed "He doesn't have much patience...And we have to get back to the pack"
"It's okay sis, I understand" Ah-da-nv-do said "can I come with you?"
"of course" Asmita answered, before padding away, and Ah-da-nv-do followed closely behind.


"Never!" The alpha snarled, His hackles raising "She has no sense of authority! She does as she pleases!"
"But alpha-"
"No!" he cut her off "My word is final unless you prove me wrong about her.
Asmita let out a sigh and turned to Ah-da-nv-do "I'm sorry....But the alpha doesn't want to let you pack in the pack...I'm really, really sorry sister" Ah-da-nv-do nodded, and put her paw on asmita's shoulder
"It's okay, I'll try to talk to him" She took a step forward, and lowered her head "Sir..." She began. The alpha turned and raised an eyebrow "What?"

"Sir... I'm sorry for giving you the wrong impression, But I don't think what I did justified deathening me" She said "But, You know what I think...I think you did this to me because you were scared, Scared of me speaking out and everyone agreeing with me...So no, I'm not going to come crawling back to you, and I'm not going to apologise for speaking out either. I'm going to get you back, One way or another" Ah-da-nv-do turned away, and started to run, She could sense someone behind her. She then whirled around, to be face to face with her sister.
"I'm not losing you again Spirit" She said "Not again"
"Then come with me, and we can find another pack, One that doesn't treat people like this"
Ah-da-nv-do then walked into the forest, Her sister closely behind...

Um, I'm just wondering if my design here was missed or rejected?

It was not in the batch that was forwarded to me, so either of those are possible.

If anyone has any questions about their donations, please PM me instead of posting.

[Atwood]

That one was missed - I was sure I'd picked it up earlier, but it's not in my files anywhere. >.< Sorry, my brain and I haven't been on speaking terms for a few days. I'll add it to the donations for next round.

[TheCalicoTabby]

Okay then, thanks. ^^
