Color/Patterns: Tamira is a unique mix of the German Shepard’s intimidating pattern covering most of her legs, tail, neck, ears, and a portion of her face. Aside from her Shepard colours/markings, Mira owns a lovely blue merle blanket, splashing her back, flanks, dock of her tail, upper legs, and once again, a portion of her face. Due to the canine’s wild colouring, her eyes are a marbled blue and brown.
Body Structure/Particular features: Mira is a thinly built she-dog, her fur long and slick, yet soft and comforting for those who require comfort. Her paws are rather small, inheriting this from the sheltie part of her. Tamira has had her hind right leg fractured once in her past, therefore it may drag slightly. However it does not hold her back what so ever.

Personality: Mira has what you may call a narrow-minded personality. She does what she thinks is right, however is incredibly loyal when things get dirty. ( No, not like that o .0 ) Amira is usually the type to take responsibility, or step up to defend a trusted comrade. However, though she’s as loyal as it gets, and her responsibility is top notch, Mira finds great difficulty in expressing herself. Meaning she usually converses with a stoic expression, with the rare smile, or deep frown every now and then. Tamira had never been the cocky type, in fact rather than bragging, she’s known to boost others esteem by often lowering her own. This never seems to effect her mood; in fact, she contains a calm posture almost always. She keeps a clear mind, and is big of the idea of ‘think before you say/do.’ Because of this, Mira rarely ever freaks out, or becomes incredibly enraged. Mira is one of a lonely nature, however will speak if she is being talked to.


Strength: 

    ·         Excellent when it comes to teamwork, Tamira considers her comrade’s positions, before her own. All while keeping a calm posture, and getting what needs to be done, done.

    ·         Incredibly empathetic. Although she show’s little emotion, it says nothing about her massive heart for everyone she knows.

    ·         Mira is usually very wise when it comes to tough situations.

    ·         Very intelligent, she relates, and acts depending on past experiences. As well as easily picking up techniques.

    ·         Mira tends to easily adjust her behavior to a suitable state. This is in attempt to keep everyone comfortable, and to try to avoid angering anyone.

    ·         Tamira has wonderful coordination, fast on her feet and a quick thinker. No rainy day could possibly stop her

Weaknesses:

    ·         Tamira tends to think a tad too much on the bright side. Usually leading into lack of understanding of a darker conclusion.

    ·         Though Tamira is quick on her paws she lacks in some forms of power from a stand. Mira needs to back some kind of an energy boost to include power in her strike.

    ·         Mira enjoys having company, but her usual stoic expression usually misleads her personality.

    ·         When growing close to someone, Tamira usually grows clingy, and slightly protective when traveling with that comrade.

    ·         Tamira cannot say no to a challenge, it’s in her nature to stand up for herself. However, she still thinks carefully, and considers the competitor’s feelings and physical health.

    ·         Tamira may be intelligent but her not-so-strong sight usually gets in the way when scanning areas, or simply missing important details.

    ·         Absolutely terrified of fire. The only time pure emotion will take over her mind and thought process. Often becomes reckless when in this situation.
Brief history: Mira grew up on a family hobby farm with a close friend by the name of Max. Both were used for herding livestock, and attending their guarding duties. The two were practically inseparable, and at one point began to develop feelings for the other. Or at least Tamira had developed feelings for Max.

   Life was great until the Hobbs family decided they were over due for a family vacation. To say the least, they had left the farm in the hands of a close friend of theirs while they were gone. However, the house sitter wasn’t as reliable as planned. They often went off to participate in parties, returning home drunk and stupid. Both canines picked this up sensibly, and decided to sleep outside until their family returned.

  However, one night after feeding the indoor cows and sheep, the family friend had forgotten about the candle they had left behind on the haystack. All was a blur to the blue merle until realization hit her. Mira shot up to attention, watching the flames lap through the open barn windows. Max, soon took notice as well, sprinting to the cracked open barn door. Their job was to keep the livestock safe. And he was damn determined he would keep that vow.

  Tamira followed suit, bolting after her black and white, tuxedo patterned interest. And for once her mind was racing. She couldn’t think straight, nor could she catch up. Flocks of animals fled from the barn as the door swung open. Max effectively disappearing into the barn, out of sight. Unreachable.

  There was a crackle, then finally a pop as the old barn collapsed right in front of her. Mocking flames whipping over the damp grass, sizzling once coming in contact with the dew. The situation finally came clear, a look of pure terror replacing her once content face. She couldn’t stop the tears welling up in her eyes, she’d lost the only thing she had closely bonded with. And it all happened so easily. So quickly.

  Mira was brought back to her current state as her face grew hotter. The flames had grown while she was deep in thought. For now, she had to leave, the animals were safe, her job was done. She could mourn over his death once out of the fire’s reach. So she ran. She ran, and traveled for days with little food and water. Just enough to stay awake and alive. Mira only stopped for short periods of time, resting by forest oaks, in long grass, or even old, abandoned houses. Soon weeks passed with no sign of civilization. That was until she came across the city. What life awaits Tamira?
