Vivid -- Hirruk Czarina

[Valentine]

HI, MY NAME IS VIVID!

Name: Vivid
Breed: Saluki x Golden Retriever
Age: Two years
Pack: Hirruk
Rank: Czarina

Appearance:

Vivid partially earned her name from her appearance. Her golden retriever heritage shows up, well, vividly in her coat and her saluki parentage comes through in her slight, graceful build. Her golden fur lightens at her muzzle and paws where the color is an almost silver in the correct light.

Vivid is fast like her mother's breed. She makes up for lack of physical strength in her speed and stamina. She prides herself on being able to run for miles on her spindly legs. One of her greatest joys is a good run in the golden morning, her eyes flashing. Her eyes are brown like many dogs, but with flaxen flecks in them that catch the light upon occasion.

Vivid's voice is low and seductive, a purr that swells to a roar when angered. Her soft voice combined with her grace and poise are part of what makes up her overall allure.

Personality:

Vivid carries vivacity and narcissism like armor and shields her cripplingly low self-esteem with dazzling wit and allure. She is flighty as a bird and indecisive to boot. Vivid is very much a dog of smoke and angles, subject to impossible whims and rapidly changing moods.

With a sharp sense of pride and particular affinity for public speaking Vivid makes a good Czarina. However, she is a lover of pleasure and fun, there is little that can sway Vivid into being serious for more than a few moments, everything is a game to her and she cannot help but treat it as such.

Despite her general light-hearted demeanor Vivid is subject to roaring fits of rage and depression. Some how, however, all of this makes her into a good leader. The Czarina's job to to keep the pack entertained, the moral high, and generally keep things running smoothly. Vivid excels at this and with her regal posture, allure, and charisma she makes quite the queen.

Vivid is bawdy and provocative. She makes a poor mate do to the fact that she is quite the fickle mistress. Her affections constantly jump from dog to dog. The only thing predictable about her love is it's inevitable disinterest after about a moon. Vivid entertains allusions about falling in love but she declares it impossible as no dog could ever hold her and woe betide any male who attempts to stick around past his expiration date.

History:
Vivid was born into the Hirruk. Her mother was a Saluki called Lark, a notorious temptress, and her father was high ranking commander called Thorn, known for his valor and integrity. That integrity was shattered one night when Thorn, tired and weary after a particularly embarrassing loss in battle sought the affections of Lark, already well known for her promiscuity.

Thorn never intended to see Lark again, she was a slave and he a commander, their paths seldom crossed. Unfortunately, fate had other plans, Lark learned of her pregnancy and for the first time in her life felt dependent on someone else. Lark had always been an independent, unruly dog but now that she was with puppies she felt like she had to find Thorn. However, Thorn avoided her like the plague. She did everything in her power to get him to talk to her but he refused to see her.

Lark's wit did not desert her and her perseverance did not fail, she worked at it until Thorn finally wore down and paused to listen to what she had to say. When she told him of his puppies he was shocked, nobody could know that they were his, to do so would ruin his reputation. He sought a comfortable life as a lady-in-waiting to the Czarina for Lark in return for her silence and the promise that she would never seek him out again. Lark complied, and that was how Vivid came into the world, without a father, but not completely without station.

Vivid was an enticing dog, delightful as a pup and enchanting as she grew. Soon her wit and charisma outshone that of the dowdy current Czarina. It was no surprise that she caught the eye of the Czar. As soon as the Czarina died of a disease the elderly Czar wasted no time in appointing Vivid as the new Czarina. Vivid tried to be attentive to the decaying, decrepit Czar, but he was an old dog and young, healthy dogs were just beginning to show interest in her. The Czar grew jealous of her spreading her affections about so freely so he ordered her to be imprisoned in one of the rooms of the old farm house so that only he could see her.

Vivid was a popular Czarina and news of the poor queen locked away by the jealous Czar soon spread. The dogs were Vivid's all the way and they had no love for the current Czar. They staged a coup and killed the Czar. Vivid was proclaimed the Czarina and sole ruler of the pack until such time as she chose a Czar.
