Why do you want this character?
Where will you use it, and what will you use it for?
From the moment she was donated I really liked her. She just looked sweet and innocent and just adorable. Her gorgeous blue eyes really stood out against her mint-green fur and her pinkish-burgundy mane. I love that she has ribbons and bows for accessories and how they match her pale yellow wings.
I would be using her as a character here on CS and possibly on DA (though only for art on that site). I will mainly be getting art of her, but will also be writing about her, should I find the time in my busy schedule to do so. Should I win her, she shall have her own individual page on my Weebly character site.

I'm comin' home, I've done my time,
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine.
If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do...
If you still want me, if you still want me,
Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree.
It's been three long years, do you still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon round the ole oak tree,
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on me...
If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree.
Bus driver, please look for me,
'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see.
I'm really still in prison and my love, she holds the key,
A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free.
And I wrote and told her please,
Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree.
It's been three long years, do you still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon round the ole oak tree,
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on me...
If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree
Now the whole bus is cheerin',
And I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons round the ole oak tree!
I'm comin' home!
Tie a ribbon round the ole oak tree.

History:

You pride yourself on being rather shrewd,
And yet you never show me gratitude.
I'm sick and tired of playing your dumb game;
I'm hurt and you're the one to blame.

I hope when you think about the things you say,
That you know you need me; I don't need you.
And you knew not to shoot your messenger....
Well, if you didn't, then now you do.

I just wanna will it away...
But even now, you taunt me still.
You pretend to think it's okay
That I'm the one that holds your quill.

[Eleya]

Basic information
Username:
"Hey there! So, my name is Eleya. I know this is a serious agency, so I want to proof, that I will be a serios new owner. When planning on getting a new pet from an animal shelter, or as we have it here, when adopting a new character, you need to inform yourself about this pet/character first. Well, maybe I did a little overdo it, but well...
So first about me. I am a rather calm person. Thinking over my decissions quite well before making them and always trying to do whats best for everyone. I though do love to be cheeky sometimes. And of course sarcastic! Maybe thats why I love Scar so much? Ah well. Yes I do love Lion King a lot, but actually most other DIsney films too. And of course Lord of the Rings and all this other Tolkien stuff. Makes me come to my hobbies: reading, spending time outside in nature and watching animal there, and also drawing and writing.
... Okay, since this is about adopting a character, I guess this was enough about me. Lets get to the important parts now."
Kennel number:
"Ah yes, to not cause any confusion, I talking about the Kennel number 107! This awesome Husky!"
Why do you want this character?
"What caught my eye? Oh, first of all, I love Huskies! I always wanted to have one. Izzy with her black and white fur, made me immediately fall in love. Of course her accessories were an eye catcher too. The petrol fits her so perfect!
And well, I do own so many male characters, and so little females... I simply need some more girls around."
Where will you use it, and what will you use it for?
"Haha! My main reason for wanting her is, I need someone to challenge Vito a little. He is getting far to lazy. And my first impression was, that this girl would be the perfect one to do so. She would then join the pack of Sammy, Mike, Vito and Kerry."

Character information
"For this part, I decided to talk a little to the people and the other dogs she met in her life, before maybe ending up with my pack. I talked to the breeder Björn Nanouk, to her mother Snowflake, to the Bill Winter and his son Steve, to Icewind a female husky, to Frank the french bulldog and of course to Sammy, Mike, Vito and Kerry, to get their first impressions."
Name:
"The name the breeder gave her was Isabell, and her new owners decided to keep it then. Well, she herself preferd to be called Izzy for short. I will just keep it that way, since she seems to be used to it already."
Gender:
"She is female."
Personality:
"Okay, Björn Nanouk what would you say? How was little Izzy while she was with you?"
Björn Nanouk: "Oh, she was always a very tough girl. She needed to defend herself against all of her brothers. I always thought that nothing could really harm her. While other pups sometimes started to whine and needed to be cheered up again, she took every bite, every small wound she got from fights like a real "man". The vet was not somebody scary, he was just another one she thought she needed to defend herself against. For me it was really funny to watch. When I tried to already educate them a little, she was always the one who got things first. A really intellegent and strong little pup."
"Thanks Björn, that was really intresting. Now to you Snowflake. What can you tell me about your little girl?"
Snowflake: "Ah my only daughter in this littler. Yes, she was always so tough. She never came whining when her brothers where nasty again. She was more like a boy than some of her brothers. I justed didnt want her to be like this, and started to gift her accessories. She was always so happy and thankful when she got them. That where the only moments when she acted like a little princess. She showed them around so proudly, but when her brothers started to make fun of her, she started a fight again *sigh*."
"Thanks Snowflake. Now lets get to the people that owned her then. Bill Winter, what was your impression on Izzy?"
Bill WInter: "I thought she would make a great new leader for my sled dog team. I saw her showing all the males in the littler, who the boss is, and thought she could get along with my dogs aswell. But well, she seemed to be a loner there. I only saw her playing with Icewind sometimes. I thought maybe the kids would cheer her up a little, but she was as aggressive against them as she was with the rest of my dogs. I never had problems with her, since she learnd quick and always behaved when I told her to, but not with the kids. I think she could have been a great sled dog. A great leader, but oh well..."
"Thanks Bill. Steve, was she a good playmate for you?"
Steve: "She was not! She never wanted to give me her toys, so I could play with her. She never wanted to play with any of us. She always just showed us her teeth!"
"Oh... uhm thanks Steve. Lets see what Icewind thought of her. Icewind, would you mind telling me, what you think about Izzy?"
Icewind: "I feel it was really hard for her to accept that she wasnt the boss in our pack. She was the youngest, and she was female. It was hard for me to get accepted in this pack, and it was even worse for her. She also always told me she didnt want me to protect her. She would get strong enough to be able to show Dazzler, Snap and Snowfang their place. She was so grown up already though she still was a pup in my eyes. When old Jack Frost told her she would never be able to take his place, she just ignored him. She told me it was only words, and she will one day beat him in a real fight, and show him what she is really worth. Only a fight would be able to sort things out. Izzy was a really self confident little girl. I do really miss her."
"Thanks a lot Icewind. Now lets just ask her long time friend Frank. Well, I had to talk to my lion charecter Zuka, to get in contact with him, since Zuka is a ghost and Frank has also died already. So Frank, tell me, how did you see Izzy?"
Frank: "Ah that amazing little one that joined me in my very last days on earth. Ah, she seemed really cold to me at first. She didnt want me to help her. She wanted to manage everything alone. But she was so hungry, she couldnt resist the food I gave her. It took me quite some time to gain her trust. All she had been through made her be careful with others. Not trust anyone. She never showed me how she really felt, but I knew it. She never cried, though I knew, she missed her family a lot. She only took some time for her alone, to not show me how sad she really was. She also never directly showed me how worried she actually was about me. She only did her very best to help me and protected me against all those enemies out there. Izzy wasnt afraid of anything, or at least thats what she pretended. The only tear I have ever seen, was the one she couldnt hold back, when I died. I feel she will have to find someone one day, she can open her heart to. I hope she really does. Otherwise those feelings she always holds back will break her. Please tell my little girl how proud I am of her, will you?"
"Sure I will Frank. Thanks a lot for giving me such a great overfiew on how you saw her. Now I will just get everything put together. So here is how I would sum up her personality, with some facts after her time with Frank:"

Izzy learnd very early, that she has to defend herself. She will never be the one to let others protect her. Its also hard for her, to accept another leader. She always wants to be the one leading and protecting others. She is very self confident and doesnt care for bad words. They are only words. Just a real fight can sort things out. And when someone thinks he could talk against her, she will show him his place.
Izzy will not show her feelings easily. Feelings are for weak ones. And she is not weak. She will still have to get over a huge loss, and it will break through one day, but till then, no tear will ever stream down her face. Of course there is a soft core behind that hard shell, but it will take lots of time, to discover it. Izzy will not trust others easily. She thinks she has to defend herself against everyone first, and to make her position clear. She is not everyones darling and will never try to be. She likes being alone, but also enjoies company. Only "followers" though.
Izzy needs some time alone. Since she doesnt want others to see how she feels, she will always need some time alone, to deal with her real feelings. She also tends to talk to a former friend then (=the one big loss in her life). She still imagines that he helps her. This is one more thing, no one ever needs to know about her.

History:
"Now its time to get a look at what she has been through already. I decided to talk to her way companions about this as well. So again, we start with her breeder. Björn, would you tell me about the time when Izzy was with you?"
Björn Nanouk: "Of course I will. Isabell was born as the daughter of my favourite female husky, Snowflake. I hoped the pups would turn out as sweet and intellegent as their mother, and as strong and fearless as their father. Well, it was the I littler so the seven males from this littler were called Iko, Ironheart, Isaac, Isengard, Ironic, Ivan, and Intense. Well and the only female was called Isabell. Look at this pic I made of them. Arent they cute:
Picture!
The little pups often got into fights, but well thats how young puppies are. Isabell first hided behind her mum, but one day she got into the fights. That was when she got stronger and stronger. She was the boss in this littler *smiles*. I cant tell you how proud I was! I never had such an amazing female in my litters. I nearly wanted to keep her. But well, she also cought the interest of so many people, that I still decided to sell her, and keep her brother Ironheart instead."
"Do you regret your decission on selling her?"
Björn Nanouk: "When I heard about the new owners chasing her away, I really did. But now that I know, she is still alive and might go to a good new place, I even think she might not have been happy here."
"Now for continuing the story it wont be necessary to also hear her mother talk. I think we can go on with the new owners. Bill, will you tell me what happend next?"
Bill Winter: "When we first saw her at Mister Nanouks place, we were sure, that she would make a great new leader for our sled dog team. So we took her home with us, and put her into our pack. I asked my current leader Jack Frost, to teach her all the stuff needed to be a good sled dog. Well, I dont really know what went wrong there. I had a feeling she wasnt accepted by my dogs, but she seemed to quite like Icewind. Look at that pic:
Picture!
Do you think she looks like a sad dog there? Well, I didnt either. I thought since she found a connection to the pack through Icewind already, the others will also accept her soon. The little fights I sometimes watched between Isabell and my three youngest boys, Dazzler, Snap and Snowfang, I thought were harmless. Maybe I was wrong there. She only learned to defend herself against others, and so she did when my three kids wanted to play with her. She maybe thought these were aggressive others too, and attacked them just like she would have attacked other dogs. Steve got hurt, and I got mad. Without really thinking it over, I chased her away...."
"Seems like you regret doing so."
Bill Winter: "I really do. I should have told my kids to leave her alone, instead of wanting her to play with them. I maybe also should have educated her better. It was my fault not hers... She would have become a great leader for my team."
"Yes, she might have been. Well, we cant go back in time, so lets just continue the history. Izzy then had to survive alone outside. She was close to starving when Frank found her. Would you continue now Frank?"
Frank: "Ah yeah, little Izzy was close to starving when I found her. You know, she didnt want my help, but I couldnt let this young one die. So I continued to bring some food, and she started to gain a little trust in me. She got strong again, and started to protect me. Im glad she did, because I was old and weak already. I think we got close friends. She started to even tell me what happened to her, though she first never told anything about herself. When she knew I was safe, she sometimes left to have some time alone.
Pictuer
Well, one day I felt my end was comming. I knew that I wouldnt see the sun rise on the next day, and I told my little girl, how proud I was. She wanted to do everything to save me, but there was nothing more to do. I died curled up next to her, while she still told me to not let her alone. When my soul left my body, I saw this one tear running down her cheeks. It was hard for me to leave, but there was no way back... I watched her walk around the next days. Eating little, sleeping little and searching for something, not even knowing what. But then, one day..."
"Ahh, thanks Frank, I guess we will stop here. So here is her likes, dislikes and favourite colour now, and then we will come to Sammy, Mike and Vito."
Likes:
+ accessories
+ fighting
+ cold temperatures
+ being alone for some time
Dislikes:
- weak ones/cry babies
- dirt
- hot dogs (she cant stand the name, and would never eat this^^)
- to curios individuals
Favourite Color:
"Oh well, take a guess. Its petrol of course."
Extras:
"Okay now, lets continue with what happend after Franks story. But then, one day..."

... she discoverd a small pack. They all looked really weak to her. And she wanted to show them how to get along it the crule world they all lived in.
Izzy: Hey you! You seem to need a strong leader. I might be able to help you.
Vito: Thanks, but we have a leader already. And we are fine. Feel free to get lost though!
Izzy: Haha, you will never be able to survive alone out here. Take a look at those two girls back there. Weak!
Vito: Dont you dare talking like this about our brother!
Izzy: Brother? Oh how cute. This little cry baby is your brother?
She recognised, that this hadnt been a good idea. The second male also started to growl at her, and even the female seemed to get really angry. What was wrong with them? Why did they care so much for such a weak pack member. But well, a good chance to start a fight and show them, that she was right.
Sammy: Stop fighting! This leads to nothing!
What? That little one really had the courage to tell her to stop? But well, the rest of the pack seemed as suprised as she was.
Izzy: Oh, it does! It shows you that Im right!
Kerry: Fighting leads to nothing but pain! Sammy is right. We should stop it.
Mike: And Izzy is right too. We could need her help. Look at us. Three against one, and she was about to win.
Vito: We dont need a new leader! I am the leader!
Mike: I dont want to replace you Vito, but she could join us. You know, there is still an alpha female missing.
Vito+Izzy: Never!
Mike started to laugh. They were so similar to each other. They would make a great leading pair. But this would mean lots of work for him. Well, challenge accepted.
Izzy looked at this strange laughing dog. And she had to smile. They were a family already, and she would have been proud to join and help them, but well, when they didnt want her to be around, she would leave.
Vito: Ah well, since you all are always against me... You can join us if you want. But keep in mind, I am the leader!
Izzy smiled. This was the start of a new episode in her life. Maybe it would be a great one!

"Oh my Vito, why cant you just accept others?"
Vito: "They could harm Sammy. Would you want him to get hurt?"
"Of course not! Ah well, this is about Izzy now, so I wont start a fight with you now. Tell me, what do you think about her?"
Vito: "I think she is another bad joke from you! You keep getting females in my way. Do you have any plans?"
"Maybe. Seems like I wont get any good answer from you... So Mike, what do you think about Izzy?"
Mike: "I feel that Vito and her would be an awesome pair!"
Vito: "Oh just shut up Mike!"
Mike: "You had your time to talk! Now its mine! So, I like her. She is a really strong one, and gets some action in our pack. We might also be able to learn quite a lot from her. She seems so experienced, though she is still so young. It would be great, if she could join our pack."
"Glad to hear this Mike. Now Sammy, do you think so too?"
Sammy: "Uhm yes. I... I actually do... but somehow she scares me a little. I really dont want to see her getting really angry about something. I feel this will be horrible... But if she is on our side, she would be able to protect us. Thats good. I would feel lots saver then."
Vito: "Do you want to say, you dont feel save with me as your leader?"
Sammy: "No... no... I just wanted..."
"Oh stop that guys!
So I feel this was everything now. Thanks for reading through all of this. I know I did lots of research, but I thought it would be best to do so. Well, now Im looking forward to your decission, and good luck to all the others trying out on her. I just hope she gets a loving new home after everything she has been through."

I find it amusing that even though you all depict her as a sledding husky that her markings were based on that of a border collie's

[booklover789]

That is an amazing pony, Shiny. Thanks so much for the awesome donation!

(I can promise you that I'll be trying out for her if she goes up after this round. *snickers evilly* Oh, the plans I have for such a beauty...)

[Queen Vivane]

Oh ShiningArmour, that is a stunning design!

(Would very much like to try out but doesn't think she'd stand much of chance. Booklover is far too awesome at forms, ( *Is daunted by the quality and size of forms done by aforementioned user*) Lol )
