Personality: She is somewhat shy and a little rude until she gets to know someone even then she still can be rude and a little withdrawn. She is indeed bisexual but has not had a girlfriend nor boyfriend.She is secretive about somethings like most of her past and her true feelings.She isn't to talkative because for most of her life she expressed her self with pictures photos. It also takes her a while to actually trust some one and if/when she does start to trust you and you break that trust she will never trust you with anything and most likely will turn into your enemy, meaning she will draw you getting mauled by some kind of creature or just take embarrassing photos of you.
She enjoys collecting bone of dead animals to study them so she can understand the structure of the things she is drawing.In her free time she likes to take walks and draw what she sees and take photos for further reference.
History: When she was three her mother was killed in a car accident that left her and her father very depressed.Shortly after that her father began to drink heavily making it so he could not take care of her properly so she eventually started to make friends with animals, bugs and imaginary friends. Finally one of their neighbors called CPS on her father and had her taken away making it so she thought that he was leaving because of her. After a big court dispute she was put into a foster home where she fought with the other kids whom made fun of her for having imaginary friends. Then at the age of ten she was adopted out because her father had passed away due to heart failure, when she found out she locked herself in her room for two days also blaming herself for his death.
At the age of eleven she had become a very bright young girl who became interested in art and photography taking pictures of animals and scenery then drawing or painting it, because of her new found talent she stopped making up friends but she did often make short comics of herself befriending an animal or mythological creature. When she was in high school she was dared to make out with a girl in her class, she wouldn't have accepted the dare but she wanted the kinds to like her and think she was cool enough to hang out with. That day affected her more than she knew because after that she found that she found other females somewhat attractive. Now this put her life into an even bigger spin because as you know most kids dislike others that are different so when she told one of her "friends" they got the others to make fun of her and shun, which made her depressed and caused her to alarm one of the teachers who sent her to a therapist. Since then she became an outcast with not many friends, causing her to attempt suicide more that once and forcing her into a physc ward and onto meds.
After all these years she was now nineteen and still interested in art and photography, still depressed and still bisexual. Then one day while she was at home she received a mysterious letter in the mail, It had said that she was invited to attend a special program on an island in the middle of no where where she could practice her art and photography away from any distractions and that they would pay for transportation and everything. She was very excited to get away from all the "distractions" and focus on her art. After speaking with her parents, many slammed doors and cross words it was settled that she would go, little did she know what really awaited her at that island.
Why this animal?:After many lists of dog breeds I chose this one because there nature is most like my characters so it seems fitting.

History: The Buhund is one of the earliest known Nordic herding types, although it was not officially recognized until the 20th century. As humans from the North began to live in permanent settlements in the Scandinavian countries, they brought with them the hauling and reindeer-herding dogs used for centuries. This stock was used to create a herding dog for cattle, sheep and horses that doubles as an all-purpose farm dog. Bu in Norwegian means homestead or mountain hut and Buhund is the name given to their sheepdog. The Buhund was already widespread in the Middle Ages and has maintained a similar appearance ever since that time. John Saeland fostered the breed to recognition and formed a club in 1936.
