-Name- Shumba
-Age- 6 months
-Breed- Doberman Pincher x Rhodesian Ridgeback
-Gender- Male
-Personality-
Three words to describe Shumba; protective, adventurous, and brimming with knowledge. His protective side comes from his mother, or at least that is what she tells him. Whenever his sisters have gotten in a fight, he separates them until they forgive one another. Once his youngest sister, Shiri, was attacked by an enormous crow. He snapped the crow's neck so hard, the young pup figured the bird's head would go rolling along the ground. His adventurous side is just a symptom of puppyhood. Shumba is constantly getting into trouble, whether physical or with his mom or sisters. He does not mind pain, and has a rather sturdy body when dealing with it; but that does not mean he does not feel it. Shumba loves to climb, and although he is not built anything like a cat, one of his favorite hobbies is trying to get to the roof of any building. And finally, his knowledge suit. Shumba constantly asks questions, and when he asks something, he will continue to hound the person until they finally answer it. Thus, he has received tons of knowledge in his travels. However, this does have a downside; he is not afraid to speak his mind, which might get him in plenty of trouble with a sadistic dog.
-Physical Description-
Being by far the largest of his siblings, Shumba is already layered with muscle. His pelt resembles his father's greatly, with the same deep tan coloring. Shumba looks more like a Rhodesian Ridgeback than a Doberman, but his crania is slender and lean, showing his mother's bloodline. He has long limbs, stretching to the ground in one sweeping bow. The tips are plastered with white, which is usually dyed a soft brown from constantly trekking in the mud. Shumba is marked with a long tail which is usually carried high and regal like, even if he wasn't meaning to. A pair of long ears are situated on either side of his head, laying lightly against his skull. Most of his fur color is a deep tan hue, like stained wood. It darkens around his black nose, whipping underneath his muzzle to create a marking that resembles a band. His chest is flared with white, dipping up to his throat and tumbling to his chin, though it never laps over the edges to the top part of his maw. His eyes are an unreadable black, showing no emotion. A thin stripe of black rounds around both of his eyes.
-Side- Western Bostonia
-Position- Puppy
-History-
Shumba doesn't have much of a history due to his shortly lived life. He was born on the streets on a rainy night, born first out a litter of three, whom all survived. He remembers his mother sobbing when they were born, but he has never questioned her as to why. Shumba is the more adventurer of his siblings, and thus has gotten into plenty of trouble. His front left paw has a strange looking stripe on it, pressed into his skin. This is from a pipe which had snapped while he had been walking underneath it. Thankfully it had only landed on his foot, but it made that absurd marking into the fur and into the flesh. He already has a few scars marking his pelt, from scuffles with other creatures. Shumba has never encountered a cruel dog, but now that his mother has joined Western Bostonia he is unsure about what is going to happen.
