New OC I'm going to be using, since we need more than dalmatians on this farm, am I right? Anyway, her name and even her personality are inspired by a song, but I don't feel like linking it.
Evita was born on a farm as well, far away from the Dearly farm. Her father was a full-blooded Border Collie, while her mother was a wild Akita. Her father became strangely enticed with the wild dog's life, curious about where she was from, how she lived. He saw her often outside the farms gates when he was herding the sheep, and eventually, he struck up the nerve to talk to her. This was the first of many conversations, and when he wasn't working, he would spend any free time talking to this strange dog.
Over time, gradually, he began to fall in love with the wild Akita, and she began, in turn, to feel the same. Eventually, feelings were revealed, and they became mates. Not long after, she the female Akita became pregnant, and they expected to be a happy family. They had only one pup, but this one pup was extremely wild and full of pep. She was a loud pup, contrary to the natural personality of an Akita, as they were typically quiet dogs. She harbored her mother's looks more than her father's, but his spirit shone in her strongly.
The two spend equal time with her as she grew; her mother taught her how to hunt like a wild dog, how to fend for herself, while her father showed her how to work on the farm, like him. He taught her how to herd sheep, and she became friends with all of the chickens and the pigs and the cows, like him. Her mother made her strong and brave, while her father taught her to work hard and make friends. She loved them both very much.
Sometime later, when she was slightly older, was at the time, something strange began to happen. At night, when every one was (obviously) asleep, something was raiding the farm. There were less sheep everyday, and even a few of the chickens had been stolen. The farmer was extremely worried, and so was Evita's father; it was no secret that a certain wild Akita roamed these parts around this farm, and he was worried that someone might suspect his mate. He knew that she wouldn't do anything like this; even though she was wild and certainly was not above killing for her next meal, she would rather die then go so low as to raid a farm of domestic animals. Surely the farmer would see that, right?
He didn't.
The next morning, he rounded up a hunting party to track her down. They had left early, before Evita and her father had woken up. When they finally did, her father saw that the farmer was gone...as was his gun. He knew that his mate was in danger, and he had to warn her as quickly as possible, before she was found. He made Evita stay, and he rushed out into the woods to find his mate. It wasn't long before he found her, as her den wasn't far off from the farm. But when he called her name...
...she didn't answer. She was lying on the ground, two bullet holes in her flank, blood staining the ground. They had found her. She was already dead, and he hadn't even had a chance to say goodbye to her.
Evita was all he had left. And he would protect her with his life.
It was some time later, when Evita was near adulthood, that she felt a strange, sudden longing...a longing for the wild. She didn't know what it was, but she wasn't satisfied anymore with working on the farm. Sure she had friends, but herding the sheep and bothering the chickens just wasn't as exciting as it used to be. When she mentioned this to her father, he smiled, and told her that it was her mother showing through in her.
She left the farm soon after.
She became a wandering dog, traveling everywhere and wanting to see everything. Every once and awhile she gained a traveling companion, someone who, occasionally, was drawn to the enthusiastic Akita mix. Sometimes she would stop off at a place, for a few days of rest, and tell stories of places she had been, others she had met, things she had seen. Often they were exciting, and she never got tired of telling them.
She traveled back home sometimes, to see her father and old friends, but she never stayed long, as adventure was always calling out to her, as she told them. She has gained just a few scars, as danger as caught up to her more than a few times. Often, she underestimates the seriousness of dangerous situations, and more than often that gets her into trouble. She never, ever is deterred, though, and will continue to adventure no matter what.
Eventually, she stumbled upon the Dearly farm, and felt a sort of nostalgia upon seeing it. She met many of the pups, Lulu being the first to politely greet her. The dogs on the farm immediately came up to see her, as it wasn't often they got visitors on the farm, and when they did...well, usually it wasn't pretty. She was pretty soon bombarded with questions about her life, which she happily answered.
Evita, like with every place she visited, told them stories of her travels. Many were compelled, some didn't believe her but listened anyway, some found her annoying, and some thought she was just plain nuts. But she still made friends on the farm, and decided that she would stay there maybe just a
little longer than she normally would.
Personality wise, Evita is a bit ditzy and seems naive, but is overall a very kind dog and easy to get along with. She loves meeting new people and making new friends, even if she doesn't tend to be around them long. Often when she tells a story, she zones out and will ramble, daydreaming about different adventures that she has or would like to have, one day. She still has a wild streak in her, and will likely leave the Dearly farm one day.
I'm still deciding who she'll interact with mainly and everything, but we'll get to that later. C:
