Personality

Hope is an imaginative dachshund, and always has been. Ever since she was a young pup, she'd come up with all kinds of games to play. Stuck on a boring car ride? She'll imagine a horse galloping next to the car, jumping over every obstacle in the way. Getting groceries? She likes to pretend she's playing Tetris when she puts things in the basket. Even now, Hope's kept her curiosity about the world around her, and enjoys going to new places to explore. It doesn't matter if it's a new road she's never been on, or a new town she's never been to, Hope loves seeing new things!

She loves helping others, even if they're a stranger. She feels good helping someone, and likes spreading a little bit of kindness when she's able to. She's patient, and doesn't mind waiting a long time for things. Hope is forgetful, and often needs to write things like plans or anniversaries down to remember them. She has a hard time accepting the word no sometimes, and because of this, Hope has a bad habit of resorting to using the puppy eyes trick to get the things that she wants.

While she likes to try and have an open mind, Hope can seem set in her ways, and struggles with big, sudden changes. She also has a hard time dealing with sudden changes in her schedule or what she was going to do. Hope finds it easier to go at her own pace, and stresses out when something she didn't plan for happens, especially during a walk to somewhere new. She has a hard time dealing with jealousy, and feels inferior to others. She has a hard time dealing with these thoughts, and keeps these feelings to herself.

Hunter

Hope helped Hunter settle into big city life, and taught him that he couldn't just steal everything he saw that he wanted. She enjoys spending time with him, and thinks that he's exciting to be around!

Backstory

Hope was highly imaginative as a pup. She made up all kinds of games with her friends, and loved playing those games with them as much as she could. She spent most of her time outside, either with others or by herself when she was at home. When she was alone, Hope loved to dig holes and explore the yard. She'd often bring pretty leaves or an interesting bug inside to show her family. When she was indoors, she loved playing made up games, card games, and video games! Hope hardly ever got bored when she had so much she could do!

Growing up, Hope found routines a nice way to control her day. She set up her own morning and bedtime routine, and often threw a fit as a pup when it would get ruined. It took her some time to realize that every single day couldn't go perfectly, and she enjoyed the days that did. She was grateful for her parents' understanding, and liked when they'd try to ask her when she was done with her morning routine to do something. Even to this day, Hope has a pretty solid routine in the morning and night, and tries to keep the rest of her day open for any new, possibly exciting things!

She had a sweet tooth growing up, and loved all of the candy giving holidays. So much so that her parents had to stop her from eating so many sweets. While she understood why as she grew older, she still didn't like it. Especially when she had to start holding herself back. Hope quickly had favorite candies and candy bars, with Reese's being her absolute favorite!

During her time in school, Hope enjoyed talking to others, but had a hard time making friends, and was often called weird or strange due to the way she acted. She never thought much about the cruel things others would say to her, and still like playing with the other kids. Hope made a few friends, and loved spending time with them at lunch, recess, and after school.

Even as a teen, Hope would still find creative ways to make games fun and interesting. She loved being able to go out and about in the town with her friends. She'd often lead her friends to new places, even if they got lost every once in awhile. She'd bring her dad's camera along with her so she could show her family all the interesting things she found with her friends! This led Hope to become fond of photography. She'd take pictures of pretty flowers and plants, and anything she found neat. Hope showed these pictures to everyone who would listen to her little adventures.

Over her middle and high school years, Hope started becoming more reserved, keeping to herself as the things other teens said to her had started to linger in her mind, upsetting her. She'd often hang around the teachers more, listening to stories they told. Hope especially loved the days where the teacher and other students were just chatting. Hope stayed with her parents after graduation, helping them around the house and spending time with them.

After becoming an adult, Hope decided against moving out, thinking it was much better to stick with family. She still loved taking photos, and coming up with little games to play when bored. She'd go out on long walks, coming back with new pictures and little stories to tell her parents and friends. Every once in awhile, the three of them would go on vacation to somewhere new, and they'd all come back with new things to tell everyone.

Hope started doing photography for other people to save some money. Sometimes, she'd see someone from school and hear about the things they've accomplished in the few short years they've graduated. Instead of being happy for them, Hope was jealous. She kept telling herself that her day would come where she'd do something amazing, but that day never seemed to come. She started to feel like she was inferior to even her closest friends.

One day, she was out and about in a town not far from hers. Hope found out that someone new in town had been causing trouble, so she went to find out what was up. She found out that a ferret named Hunter was having a hard time adjusting to living in such a big town, and had a problem with stealing from others. Hope happily showed him around, and listened to his story of growing up in a small village. She did her best to help him out, and it may have taken some time, but Hope slowly saw her new friend become more friendly and generous. She often likes to hang out with Hunter, talking walks and sharing her photos with him.

Present Day

Hope is still struggling with feelings of inferiority, but has started to think about the things she has and can accomplish. She still loves hanging out with Hunter and her friends, wandering around new towns, taking photos, and playing games.
