N O E L
alias: none
age: 3 years
gender: male
breed(s): shiba inu
height: 17 inches
weight: 22 lbs
physical: Noel is small for a feral dog, which can get him into trouble. Coming from a household, he is purebred and has most of the traits of a Shiba Inu. He is somewhat stocky but is just lean enough to run and be active. He is certainly not muscular, even if he might look like it. In addition to his size, he also has a weakness in that his back left leg is semi-lame and causes him to limp on occasion.
Noel has the short, red-orange coat of most Shibas, with some darker streaks of brown around his back. He has creamy-white fur on his bottom jaw, chest, paws, and tail tip. He also has the white markings above his eyes and white cheeks. His tail is curly, like most of his breed, and thrown over his back. He wears a thin red leather collar.
character: Noel is an all-around cheerful and friendly dog. He is always ready to run up to someone and strike up a conversation, even if it's meaningless. He just likes to talk for the sake of talking and can often end up rambling on about nothing. He loves meeting new people no matter what they're like. With friends he acts playful and quite childish--well, he does with anyone. He is very casual around anyone and this often means crossing physical boundaries that others won't, such as nuzzling up to or licking someone he just met. This usually gets him growled at but dogs can see it as charming too--if they have a very open mind.
He embodies the characteristic of loyalty, even if he cannot do much to help people other than keep secrets and be there for them. He usually hates fighting but will battle to the death for his friends, ignoring his own injuries. He can also be unconditionally loving to the random animal nearby who needs help. These are just everyday traits of being a very domesticated dog. When it comes down to it, he ends up inadvertently hurting himself most of the time by sacrificing so much for those around him; he's liable to snap some day.
Noel is easily upset. He is heavily affected by the emotions of others; if they are angry he becomes fearful and does all he can to put them in a good mood. The same goes for depressed dogs. He acts like a clown to make them smile again which is where he gets most of his cheery attitude. Deep down, he is a troubled soul and wants to help himself by helping others. He is ready to let anyone talk to them if they need to filter out their thoughts, but he himself doesn't trust others with his innermost secrets.
history: Noel was born into a loving human family household, complete with kind adults and playful children. It was paradise and all that he knew. When they suddenly moved to an apartment, he was dumped on the street rather than taken to an animal shelter. Afraid and only half a year old, he wandered without an idea of what was going on.
Soon another feral dog, a malamute, took him in. The sled dog taught him all that he needed to know about the streets, thinking that he would grow into a great addition to a gang someday. However, he was soon proved wrong. Noel was too softened by domestic life and too compassionate for random strays that posed a threat to the urban ecosystem as the malamute saw it in his mind.
Deemed a traitor, Noel was attacked, and his back leg damaged. He wandered from group to group of dogs, usually looked down upon for his weakness. Those he gave all of his heart to broke him. He truly believed in the God that his humans spoke of, in a way. He thought that if he kept helping people and turning the other cheek that maybe, eventually, he would be repaid. He recently came across the lagoon in Riptide, smelling other dogs there, and is hanging around in hopes of finding a family again.
