THE BASICS
Name: Honey
Gender: female
Sexuality: bisexual
Breed: rhodesian ridgeback x saluki/pharaoh hound

Build: Honey is every bit a sighthound. She's built for speed and endurance, with a deep chest and long legs. Her ridgeback blood gives her a bit of bulk and muscle, and shortens and thickens her muzzle. She is a very sleek creature that one imagines breezing through the desert. Her paws are long and flat, her tail nearly touching the ground and usually held quite straight.
A FEW DETAILS
Strengths: athletic, adaptable, captivating
Faults: brutal, impulsive, possessive
Personality:
Honey is, at times, as sweet as her name. She's got the pretty smile and kind words figured out, and has wooed herself out of trouble or into a meal more than a few times. But beneath that sugary exterior, she can be a hateful creature. When she fights, she fights to kill. There's no sparing an enemy over a piece of meat, she goes right for the throat. If insulted, she's instantly ready to throw down. Some may see this as foolish, but it's a combination of a lack of empathy and an impulsive nature. She doesn't care much for others unless they give her a reason to, so from the get go she isn't bothered going for the kill on a complete stranger that's thin as a pole. That's her hare, dang it, and she's going to protect her hard work. Unless she holds you rather dear, good luck getting her to do you any favors.
When she does decide she likes someone, she's incredibly possessive of them and seeks to monopolize them. Nothing makes her happier than getting all of someone's attention, making her rather clingy at times. She does just fine on her own, and actually appreciates her independence, but why would she not put a little effort into earning some love? She loves being pampered and adored. She is quite adaptable, taking most situations in stride. She is a rather intelligent dog, and can usually make plans to make hunting easier, or plans ahead and turns over buckets to collect rain water.
History:
Honey was born semi-feral, her mother once a pet and her father completely out of the picture. She was born near a community of humans that set out into the wilderness when society began to collapse. They found an old farm and set up shop there, producing all they needed to live. They had several dogs among them, and Honey's mother found the community and lurked around as a stray. She met Honey's father in the woods, and that was it. The male was gone the next day, but her mother made a decent living lurking around the community, so she was able to raise her litter well on her own. Still, it was the life of a street urchin of sorts. Honey begged humans for attention and food from the moment she could walk. She learned to cry and to limp and get all the love she needed to prosper.
At two years old she was tired of this life, and so she struck out on her own. She left her mother and her siblings as pariahs, in search of what she considers a more honest and noble life. She wants to hunt for her meals and have a pack she likes. She doesn't want to rely on the kindness of humans to do well in this world.
