Ah, what the heck. I'll give it a go. Solo. (:
Fling or Crush: Fling
Name: Nika
Breed: Canaan Dog
Age: 3 1/2 [Young Adult]
Personality: Known as one of the ‘players’ of Nome, she is extremely flirtatious and loves a good fling; She has very few crushes, but the ones she does have tend to have a very high influence on her personality, and although most don’t know it, she’s actually capable of being very kind, even if it doesn’t seem like it; If she ever has pups and the father doesn’t want to take care of them, she’ll always volunteer to do it, since she doesn’t want to just simply abandon them; So although she’s very flirtatious and seems unbendable, she is kind at heart even if you can’t tell.
Nika is a very brokenhearted, light dog. She tries to make herself seem proud and unbreakable, but really she's hurting deep down. She tries to distract herself by becoming flirtatious. All she really wants is for someone to love her, and in her endless quest, she can sometimes get carried away, since she doesn't really know what real love is. She's kind at heart, but most can't seem to tell since she covers it up so well. So in the end, her heart is always broken. This is what drives her to be the way she is: flirtatious, proud, and an all around 'selfish' dog.
Bio: She was born in Los Angeles, California, with a very nice breeder who took care of her very well. And even though he bred her often once she turned 2 and a half, she was still his favorite dog. After the year she turned 3, her owner got a mysterious illness and passed away. Nika was heartbroken, and taken with the breeder’s best friend to Nome, Alaska.
It was there that he dropped her off, knowing in such a ‘remote’ city, she would probably be safe from danger. After all, if she were to be let loose in California, she would be run over after her first few moments of freedom. This was much safer compared to that. So that’s what happened. Nika was confused on why he would just leave her there, but she wasn’t sure how else to go about it then to just try and survive.
After a while, all she wanted was love. She wanted some love that could possibly replace the bond she had with her deceased owner. So, she eventually became flirtatious in order to get it.
She’s kind at heart, but now, her need for love had become almost an obsession. She can’t stop. It’s an addiction, but she’s gotten used to it by now. It’s her way of living. She has a much better life then she had when she first started out here in Nome.
By now, she has heard of Balto’s story, gotten almost unconditional attention from most of the boys around town, and has a bunch of friends she won’t hesitate to tell any secrets to.
What she thinks of Solo: For some reason, she feels drawn to him. She's not sure why, since his personality is a lot like the one she uses herself to hide the real one. Her weakness, love, is overpowering to her. And Solo's aura just always seems to get the best of her. She can't help but to like him for real, which is rare in her case.
How she meet Solo: She meets Solo by a chance run-in in Nome. She had actually been following someone else, and bumped into him while doing so. At first she had been dissapointed and angry that someone got in her way, but upon first glance, she surprised herself by forgetting it instantly. She introduced herself almost shyly, cursing herself for letting the underneath personality out.
