Willow

Their human's name is Cole. When cole was 7, they had been wandering through their grandparents backyard while the rest of the family was all busy talking and catching up. Cole wandered through a hole in the fence and into the surrounding area's national forest. As Cole kept wandering further and further into the woods they heard a lot of unidentified noises. Cole kept turning to the direction of the noises but always found nothing. This went on for almost 15 minutes, all the while Cole is getting more and more terrified. Cole goes to turn around to walk back to their grandparents house but they can't seem to figure out which way to go. Cole takes a couple steps forward and trips on a rock, they end up tripping down a hill and scrapping their arms and legs very badly. As Cole stumbles to get back up she hears the noises much closer now, they hear leaves rustling right next to their ear. They whip their head up and see the horrific, freshly covered in blood, face of a mountain lion. Cole lets out a huge scream and quickly scoots back and lets out a loud scream. Right as the mountain lion lunges at Cole, a gunshot goes off. The mountain lion collapses to the ground ontop of Cole, covering Cole's clothes and face in blood. Who killed the mountain lion? Cole's grandpa. Cole's grandpa helps Cole up and hands them a muddied plush Willow. Cole clings onto plush Willow for the rest of the day and stopped speaking to their family for almost a month because of this incident. Cole has learned to cope with their fear of woods with the help of Willow by gardening. Willow and Cole are inseperable ever since.
