Appearance

Yuli is a relatively large dog, standing at around 27" tall and weighing a good 125 lbs. His size and weight are more result of his Akita and Anatolian genes, since both dog breeds can get rather large and heavy. Hunting dog + livestock guard dog = strong genetics built to aid survival. His appearance can be deemed frightening, or intimidating, to some.

Yuli'a appearance resembles that of an Akita Inu, for the most part, brandishing the iconic ginger red fur of the breed as well as the familiar white markings. His undercoat is an off white, stained by his surroundings to the point only a thorough grooming session from a human could make it a beaming white again. His legs, throat, chest, belly, face, and tail all contain white. Yuli has darker ginger on his muzzle, ears, and as a saddle that stretches from the nape all the way to the end of his tail where it is met by white fur. Darker brown flecks are speckled across his body, broken brindle patterns forming from them. This same brown also has some accents on the tip of his ears.

Yuli's fur is thick, being that of a double coated dog. He can easily trap in heat, and is able to stay warm during the coldest winters. Unlike purebred Akita Inus, Yuli's tail is not coiled up on his back. The genetics of the other breeds he's mixed with ended up having his tail more straightened out, though it still is bent at an odd angle. A kinked tail, so to speak. His eyes are more almond shaped, not being as round as other breeds, and when he smiles it looks like they almost close up. They can be confused as a shade of green, but in actuality they're a yellow tinted brown. His pupils are dark, only his left eye containing some lighter colour clouding them. Above his right eye is a thick brow, being a lighter white colour. His nose and paw pads are a rich bluish black, while the insides of his ears and his scars are an almost purplish red, being relatively muted.

Yuli is of a strong and sturdy stature, the kind of dog you'd expect to be a working dog. He has thick legs and large paws, a broad muzzle, and a somewhat wide face. His body being muscular, this dog is built for endurance and strength. His body contains some scars, one being a relatively large one that is brandished on his left eye. Due to this scar, he is partially blind in that very eye. He has another on his muzzle, more on the left that runs up his face diagonally. Another scar is on his throat and neck, something he got when he was tied to a fence too tightly by cruel people when he was a pup. It runs across his entire neck, but due to how thick his fur is it covers up some of the scar. His left ear is folded over, nothing serious besides being caused by genetics (weak cartilage), however is nicked in two spots on the right side as if something took a small bite out of it. His shoulders have 2 symmetrical scars, also running diagonally and more inwards towards his chest. The most noticeable feature and scar on Yuli would be his stub. Yuli lost his leg rather unfortunately when he was 3 years old, having had human intervention needed to help rid of the infection. Unfortunately the tissue did scar a lot, leaving a nasty scar where his leg once was. Despite Yuli's loss of a leg, he is still a very capable dog.

Personality:

When you first look at Yuli, you may feel that he's something of an intimidating dog. Maybe one that is rude, or nasty. This couldn't be farthest from the truth. Yuli is a dog who, much like the breeds he's made up of, is loyal and composed. If there is anyone who will be in your corner, it will be Yuli. His composure is rather good, being something of a virtue in his line of work. When you're a medic and have to deal with potentially high stress situations, composure is your best friend. His loyalty and faith are strong, but only if you earn it. This is not something Yuli gives out easily, and often times it plays into his stubbornness.

It doesn't take much to earn Yuli's faith, he has faith in his pack. Faith that they will work together to ensure the survival of everyone. And this has, this far, been reinforced by actions and results. His loyalty follows afterwards, but will is not given to everyone. This one you need to truly earn, to prove why Yuli should be by your side. He needs to know where your morals lie, what you're willing to add to the table or do for the pack, and so on. With loyalty, he needs trust and faith. If he only has one, he cannot lend you his loyalty.

Yuli is stubborn, not being the easiest dog to budge. He is quite opinionated, though will not always express them openly unless he finds it's the time to share. With these opinions, he is not easily swayed to change them. You either need to really show why, or be ready to accept he won't change otherwise. In turn of his stubbornness, he is also blunt. Yuli does not fear putting people in their place, and will unleash raw honesty upon you. Oftentimes it can be viewed as rude, but he truly means no harm most of the time. Yuli values honesty. In his youth, he used to be very impulsive and brash. It wasn't until two years ago that he learned he needed to get himself together, because he lost his leg that way. This isn't to say Yuli isn't still impulsive from time to time, but it is something he has much more control over.

Yuli can be kind, being patient and understanding. If you are hurt, he will be there to offer you his support. Not just medically, but emotionally. Those who get hurt aren't just scarred physically, but mentally and emotionally too. He is someone you can go to for advice, or to vent, or just talk, and he will listen. He is quiet, not a very big talker, which makes him the perfect person to lean on especially for silent support and comfort. Maybe he might even request in return that you help him with some things related to foraging from time to time. He may even take extra time out of his day to get you a present if he sees you need one.

He often finds himself being a nature watcher, whenever he forages he tries to take in the serenity of what he can. The delicate yet resilient flowers, the bright blue sky, the shape and size of the clouds, everything. He likes to see insects, being especially fond of beetles. Something about them just captivates him. Yuli might find times where he rambles on about them to his sister, whenever the two have free time, just because he needs to let it all out. He will always do the same for her, letting them ramble on about their interests too.

I plan to expand more on his character into the roleplay.

Affiliations:

Nessa- Yuli has what you could call a situationship. It's just really complicated at the moment with Nessa. The two met a few months after the loss of his leg, during a time he was still emotionally, mentally, and physically unwell. It took Yuli a few months to trust Nessa, and before ultimately choosing to pair up with her for survival. Around that time he was well into 4 years old. Nessa helped him, her confidence leaking onto him and helping rebuild his back from the bottom up little by little. He admired her for that, and more. Not long after pairing up and doing their best as a duo, the two came across the pack. Yuli was hesitant, his stubbornness showing. He felt like he would burden them, as well as wholeheartedly believing that they shouldn't need a pack to rely on. It took quite the convincing from Nessa to get Yuli to join. She does know how to make a case with that kind of insistence. While the two have different jobs in the pack they still are friends in a way, though Yuli has noticed her change in demeanor. More jumpy and seemingly more cautious. It worries him, she hadn't acted like this before when they first joined, so why now ? Yuli can't help but feel like his trust in her is starting to falter, because how can he trust someone who he's starting to think doesn't trust him ?

Appearance

Tallulah is a very captivating canine. Having quite the mix of her Dna, she inherited the many attributes from her ancestors. Starting with her build, her withers reach a height of about 18 inches. Then her weight stands at about 35lbs. Size wise, she definitely leans towards her toller and border collie roots. Along with her lithe and agile build full of lean muscle. Although she may seem smaller, she holds a lot of strength on her little frame. And overall, body wise, she is the spitting image of a nova scotia duck rolling retriever.

Coat wise, you can tell she has some mixed roots. While she has the natural pattern of a toller, the hues of her coat seem to be toned down. So instead of that copper hue, she holds more of that blonde/isabella/cream tint. As though she had been bleached by the sun, giving her a radiant glow. She also has some white/ivory markings such as socks that fade up her legs, the underside of her tail which fades from isabella to white, and her belly which has a small bit white then quickly fades to ivory-blonde-isabella as it grows up her sides. Although, her chest has the usual aussie/border collie/ roller white crest. On her head, she has a small white blaze that ends just in line with her eyes. Also, where her isabella and blonde hued pelt ever fades into the ivory/white parts, there is a slight-yet smooth merle effect that shows up. Thanks to the aussie in her. For her fur, she tends to have that length a border collie, golden retriever, and roller have. Then for thickness and fullness, she has about the medium between a border and and aussie.

Features wise, tallulah has quite the unique structure. As her skin, which is slightly visible under the white parts of her coat, has a pink hue with some brown speckles here and there. Which, matches her nose that sports that same baby pink with some random light brown freckles. For her eyes, they are absolutely gorgeous. She has heterochromia iridium in both eyes, with both a sky blue and a sage green. The sage green circling closest to her iris, then fading out to the bright turquoise. And there are some small scars littered across her frame, although the largest ones are her two "crosses". One on her right paw and the other her left haunch. Her fur is just a tad more sparse and her skin shows slightly more where the scars are. Finally, tallulah always seems to sport this baby pink bandanna, which is a tad faded and frayed at the ends. Although overall it's in pretty decent shape.

Personality

Tallulah is a driven female who has a calm nature, yet also a fire hidden behind every decision she makes. Intelligent and curious, the female is well-suited to be a scout. She is known to end more problems than cause them, and holds a brightness that spreads wherever she goes. She despises chaos and enjoys peace. The serenity and calmness of it soothes her nerves.

Her love for peace doesn't mean she won’t rise to the challenge. No, Tallulah is wise when it comes to solving problems and patching holes. However, just because she gets it done and doesn’t complain, doesn’t mean she likes doing so. She’s a perfectionist, so she wants everything in order and for it to go smoothly. Nothing more, nothing less. Loves her pink toothbrush.Very opinionated, Tallulah will speak up about certain issues and tends to stay stubborn in what she believes in.

Also, just because she loves things in order and is quite wise, doesn’t mean she loves her fair share of games and acting like a pup again. Any time she’s off duty, you wouldn’t be able to tell it’s the same dog. She truly goes all out and is quite the friendly and social one when her guards down. Including she loves getting to flirt a bit, gotta find the candidates somehow.

Intelligence is also on her side, allowing her to assess situations and solve them in mere milliseconds. Her judgment is extraordinarily advanced, and with a single look, she can decipher whether something will work out or not. Tallulah does her best to ensure the group thrives and survives exceptionally well. She cares not about herself when it comes to them, and would do anything that was in the best interest of them. She is an easily trustable canine, one that holds a deep love for everyone she knows. Able to find the good in all, Tallulah always goes the extra mile to put a smile on others faces.
