Physical Description:
Nizoni is a lean muscled eurohound that is built for speed and agility. Her dense coat is a light cream and darker cream-coloured. Her face definitely shows her Alaskan husky blood, her eyes a rich brown color and her high-cheek bones show off her up-slanted eyes. Her gait is very laid-back and fluid and when running, the fluidity and gracefulness helps the team over-all and when she is by herself. Due to her shorter coat, she can get colder than her thick-coated counterparts, along with her harness she wears a lightweight coat made for her if they are going a long distance.
Scent: Rosemary, mint, and pine
The best word to describe Nizoni would be 'introverted'. Like most introverts, Niz is quiet not because she has nothing to say, but because she is listening and calculating before speaking her piece. She is known for being quiet and thoughtful, and incredibly articulate when she does speak. Nizoni also does not waste time on sugar-coating her words and is blunt with her opinions.
As well as being introverted, the she-dog is doubtful of all situations she is in. She naturally assumes the worst and thinks of solutions to each bad situation. This leads to her being overly-cautious and hesitant to risks.
However, despite the apparent serenity one might presume from her demeanor, she has a sharp wit and her fair share of manipulative behaviors. For one so quiet, she has a silver tongue, and can in many cases resolve conflict before it comes to violence. When frustrated she may become a bit less gentle, prone to sarcastic remarks and subtle barbs. But she is not afraid to defend her team or herself and will bear her fangs if need be. She's someone you'd be wise not to cross. As they say, "it's always the quiet ones".
She might be a newbie on the team and younger then most of them but she if fully devoted to each and every one of her teammates. Niz might not show or say it, but she hopes to be accepted as part of the group as one of their own. Nizoni has earned respect from her former team for her intelligence and forethought and is quick to think on her feet in a pinch, and hopes this will be the same with her new group.
- Likes: Warm fires, star constellations, fresh meat
- Dislikes: Storm, Human females [some are okay, most are not], hyper dogs on the team
- Fears: That one day she will be alone with no family, her immediate kin already gone.
-Ambition(s): Even though she looks very different from most of her peers she will still gain their trust and respect.
Pre-group History:
Nizoni was born of the last litter of her mother, a black euro-hound with a big heart. She had only 3 others in that litter but they passed due to the harsh winter cold. Even Chenoa's old age caught up with her and took her away as well. Due to her young age, she can not remember much of her past family other than a few peaceful memories. One of these was when she first opened her eyes, her mother smiled down at her with great big blue eyes, her siblings whimpering beside her. The air was warm as stale, the smell of hay comforting. Niz was not fully weaned at the time so her older sister from one of the first litters took her in and nursed the pup with her own children. From what she had heard from her older sister, her mother’s owners had been planning on Chenoa retiring from her Sprinter position and live the rest of her days in their home and were surprised at a check-up that their dog was pregnant with another litter. Luckily Chenoa and her owners were more then capable to handle it, otherwise the old she-dog might have passed away during the birth of the pups rather than later. She never really knew her father other than he was a brown and white Alaskan husky that was much younger than her mother. He was a loner in the parts that was known mess around the females, especially in spring. being raised along with her nieces and nephews, she grew up to be a healthy and happy pup. She was the quiet one in the group as well as being sly. Niz one time even manipulated her nephew to give her his share of treats for a week. All too quickly, all of them had been weaned and it was time to find their own homes.
