Name: Tefa

Gender: Female

Age: Mid-teenager (or about a year & a half)

Breed: New Guinea Singing Dog x Anatolian Shepherd (???)

Personality: She can be a hard-headed dog when she wants to be, but most of the time Tefa is content in following her father around and observing what he does. She’s a quick learner and loves to please, and she’s fiercely loyal to her father. As much as she would seem gullible, it’s surprising that she is not. She’s intelligent enough to know when someone is using her, and she won’t take it sitting down either. She has a soft spot for her dad, and she’ll do pretty much anything for him, but with most other strangers she tends to be wary. Once she knows you, she’ll be your friend for life, though.

She’s a major tomboy and rejects anything too girly for her standards. Physical pain, she can deal with. Mental pain takes a bit longer. Her physique is perfect for running; she can turn into a bullet if she has to. Blunt force is the main issue with her, and that’s evident enough with her back injuries.

History:

Tefa’s mother held a grudge against her father, Swift, ever since he left her pregnant on her own. Tefa, unlike her siblings, did not look much like her mother and was curious to know more about Swift. She ended up leaving her mother when she was about five months old, traveling to find him. She had become hot on his trail after a few weeks, and when she finally caught up with him, she had shouted his name from across a street full of speeding cars. When he turned, she tried getting across the street to get closer, but this turned out to be a tragic mistake.

She managed to make it two-thirds of the way, but she found herself in excruciating pain only minutes before she was to make it to the other side. She had been hit by a huge truck speeding at 40 miles an hour. Before Swift could rush to her aid, she was picked up by the driver of the car and taken to an emergency animal clinic. It was a miracle she wasn’t dead already, but the vet managed to keep her in stable condition, and she was kept in the office in order to recover.

They were just about to change her bandages (the ones they had originally used were stained with dry blood), but Swift broke in the animal hospital and broke her out. He felt bad about her getting injured just to meet him, and so he allowed her to stick by his side (as annoying as she could get at certain times at first). She started following him like the puppy she was, and he eventually taught her a few tricks of the street. It is during this time that Tefa discovered her voice wasn’t too rusty, and she could sing pretty well. Of course, her dad would always be better than her in that department, but it couldn’t keep her from trying could it?

Siblings: Unknown

Parents: Swift (father) x ???

Other: She continues to wear the bandages over her back so no one else will see her injuries/scars.

ADgtH Related: She and her dad have decided to stay put in the Fleabite, where he serves as entertainment (singing). She helps sometimes as well, but since he has a better voice, well. Swift pays the rent for his and her room, and she feel bad so sometimes she offers her help.
