Hailstorm (Winnifred's Dog)

Hailstorm is Winnifred Von Tootlepants's pet Husky.

## Appearance & Personality

Hailstorm is a slim husky with light blue eyes, with dark gray, black, and white fur in the standard husky markings. He is accustomed to both city and natural terrain, although he prefers natural terrain, especially colder ones. He's very socially awkward and isn't very good at comforting animals, though he still maintains a more or less good social life. He's very adventurous and curious and likes to explore the woods every so often.

## Skills & Abilities

Hailstorm is able to do some things police dogs can do, such as finding illegal drugs, and is also a therapy dog (though he's actually socially awkward in the Pet's Universe). Winnifred spent about a year and a half training him, and is still training him today. In Winnifred’s old neighborhood, there were two other service and therapy dogs that guided him, teaching Hailstorm a few things he didn't know before about therapy, and a few things about being a service dog. He is unusually intelligent, as in the Human Universe, most Huskies are only average intelligence. However, the Pets’ Universe seems to be different, and animals don’t have a lot of differences in intelligence. He is good at swimming, although he doesn't like water that much. He is also agile and has good stamina in the cold. In the heat, it's another story. (He's not a Mary Sue I promise)

## Current Life

Hailstorm now resides in the Academy of Espionage, located in Washington. In dog years, he would be about 24 years old. At the Academy, he became friends with Spike, Dahlia Nuno's dog, Birdie, Noire, and Fritz, Bellatrix's cat. He also slightly accepts these students as his owner: Bellatrix Macelorn, Jackie Queen, and Luna Bell. He will likely bond with more humans and their pets soon.

## Biography

Hailstorm was born into a normal dog breeding home in the rural area/suburbs of Beijing. His owners were part of a program that trained emotional and guide dogs, so they sent Hailstorm, a few of his littermates, and a dozen other puppies to the program. There, he was trained in PTSD and emotional support, such as providing relief, emotional recognition, emotional support, and general emotional therapy/PSTD things. The whole process took 1 year. Winnifred lived nearby and had a friend with PTSD, so he bought Hailstorm as a gift. However, his parents thought Hailstorm would be too much to take care of (they actually had a phobia of dogs, sadly) and instead put Winnifred's friend in therapy. Since his friend's family didn't really want Hailstorm anymore ((poor guy ): )), they gave Winnifred Hailstorm as a gift. Since he was going to spy school, he decided to train him to be a police dog, and is still training him today.

## Family & Relationships

### **Crystal**

Crystal was Hailstorm's mother. She'd always loved him and his siblings. She taught Hailstorm swimming, some emotional recognition, and also basic combat. She still lives in the breeder's house, although just as a house dog and not a breeding dog. She looks similar to Hailstorm.

### Eagle

Eagle was Hailstorm's father. He was more strict than Crystal, but still loved Hailstorm. He knew a few things about police dogs from his German Shepherd friends and taught them to Hailstorm. (More advanced combat techniques, also some commands). He is currently just a house dog, living with Crystal.

### **Hawk**

Hawk was Hailstorm's brother. He was more ambitious and more of an extrovert than Hailstorm, and he was arrogant at times and had a darker streak. He liked to tease Hailstorm, although it went both ways. His markings were darker than Hailstorm's to a shade of dark grey. He also liked hunting and fighting the most, although nothing really serious developed from that. However, he still had a dark streak, as mentioned earlier. Those issues resolved as he grew more mature, and he is now working as a service/emotional support dog at a facility for autistic kids.

### **Sakari**

Sakari was Hailstorm's sister. She was the calmest and the most thoughtful of Hailstorm's family. She was also the most compassionate and empathetic of her siblings, and she also had very good social skills. She developed great leadership skills at a young age, although she was always slightly wary around everyone. Her name also means "sweet" in Inuktitut. She was the first to be bought and resides at a loving family in Russia.

### **Nukka**

Nukka was the youngest sister of Hailstorm. She had the lightest markings and dark blue eyes. She was very energetic and cheerful, and was very extroverted and an optimist. She loved to swim and build dens in snow, and Hailstorm notes that she was actually a very good leader. Her name means "little sister" in Inuktitut. (Even though Huskies originated from Siberia, which is located in Russia, they were brought to Alaska in 1908 and played a big role, and Dirtyneedlethemosquito decided Inuktitut sounded better than Russian, which is why the names are in that language)

### **Lyanna**

Lyanna was Hailstorm's childhood friend, another dog that the breeder bred. She was an Australian Shepherd and was very energetic. She also had a great sense of humor and was very kind, which is one of the main reasons Hailstorm was friends with her. Nothing else is really known about her, but she had two other siblings that Hailstorm didn't like.

### **Chester**

Chester was also Hailstorm's neighborhood friend. He wasn't a purebred dog and came from many breeds, but he was known to have some Border Collie and German Shephard in his heritage. They first started off in a rocky relationship, because Chester often bullied Hailstorm as Hailstorm was younger, but they somehow became friends after an extended amount of time. He is known to have a very quick wit, is very sly, and likes to steal things.
