Venus

## Appearance:

Venus is a Cocker Spaniel with light green eyes, a black nose, and couple of freckles on her nose. She has white fur with black ears, a black back all the way to her black tail, a black splotch on her chest, a black spot on her left cheek, and a black wild tuft on her head. Her front right paw has two black spots, her front left paw has a black spot that covers her toes, and her left back leg has a long black spot at the back. Venus has a neon yellow collar with a lime green pup-tag with a beige lasso. She often wears a lime green cowboy hat with a neon yellow stripe, but she also has other hats.

## Bio:

Venus was the youngest in a litter of eight puppies. She was born into a rich family in Hollywood where both of her parents, Prince and Rosetta, were big show dogs who wanted all of their pups to follow on their paw steps. Once they were old enough, Venus and her siblings were trained to be show dogs. Her siblings were perfect all the way with the show dog biz in their own unique styles, but Venus seemed to never get anything right. She didn’t understand the difference between materials, clothing, accessories, and she got the colors all mixed up like not knowing the difference between magenta and red. She didn’t know how to walk the runway, do poses, and it seemed like the camera always hated her. This caused some light bullying from her other siblings that tended to annoy her more than anything, but they still slightly hurt even though she never showed it. Venus also tended to run around, mess around, and get dirty quite often for fun. Nevertheless, one day when she and her brothers and sisters were looking to model different genres of clothing, Venus was immediately attracted to the cowboy theme and ran towards it before any of her other siblings could get there. She put on a cowboy hat, grabbed a lasso, and tried doing multiple tricks with it as fast as possible. The young pup wasn’t instantly successful with the lasso but she was having the most fun she had in all her life! But even so, she accidentally made a mess all around her with her ‘tricks’ embarrassing her whole family in the process and her parents prohibited her from playing with a lasso ever again, breaking the poor pup’s heart.

When she and her siblings were getting adopted, Prince and Rosetta’s owners decided it would be best if Venus didn’t go to any show dog families and actually sold her to an insanely rich family with a wild, little girl for a lot of money due to her parent’s popularity. Venus said a quick goodbye to her parents and siblings before she was carried away with her new family to their penthouse in New York City on a long airplane ride. Her new family consisted of two parents, a model and a movie director, along with their little girl called Bonnie. Venus was a birthday gift from her parents to Bonnie, so the parents put a bow on her and put her in a gift box with holes to let her breathe. Once Bonnie got her, she instantly dressed Venus up with a ballerina outfit and that was only the beginning. From then on, Bonnie always treated Venus like one of her dolls, dressing her up, having tea parties with her, taking her out for walks on a baby trolley, and more. Bonnie’s parents didn’t seem to notice all of this, so Venus had to sneak outside for walks and exercise while she sneaked into the cabinets in the kitchen to get her food while she drank from the sink whenever she could. Bonnie at times tended to forget Venus wasn’t a toy, causing the young pup to start hating dress up and especially ribbons due to Bonnie’s obsession with them. Still, Venus was at least glad that Bonnie didn’t squeeze the life out of her like she’s seen she’s done to her toys, that she still could have normal conversations with the young girl, and to be able to play rough with her. However, Venus often found Bonnie to be spoiled, bratty, and not a good listener, especially whenever she asked her to not dress her up because she didn’t like it at all but ended up being completely ignored by Bonnie and being dressed up anyway.

Venus sometimes liked to secretly watch movies in the amphitheater that two maids put on every once in a while after they finished their chores whenever Venus’ owners were out. But in one of those days, Venus accidentally watched a scary movie with dolls and it scared her for life. Ever since, she seemed to be constantly terrified, especially since Bonnie had dozens of dolls. Venus was beginning to have sleepless nights and was getting jumpy constantly, earning complaints from Bonnie. Soon, Bonnie’s parents replaced Venus with another pup, a poodle named Sharpay, who loved dress up and Bonnie seemed to take care of her better than she did with Venus, like feeding Sharpay everyday. Eventually, Venus have had enough and ran away into the streets, hoping that the family wouldn’t notice her absence.

Living on the streets wasn’t easy, especially with many mean strays around and the constant fight for survival. However, she found it quite useful when others underestimated her due to her breed, leading her to be able to get food without being chased down by others most of the time. One time, she found a lasso on the ground and kept it with her at all times. She practiced whenever she could and even used it to fight against others, escape the dog catchers, and to even get food. She even tended to practice speaking in a Southern accent from the movies she used to watch with the maids, eventually having slipped into the accent naturally.

Venus tended to travel by sneaking into vehicles once in a while and one time she stumbled into a place called *Adventure Bay* and she wondered around for a bit, usually getting food from Mr. Porter’s restaurant. One day, Venus snuck into Mr. Porter’s van to get some more food and the van took off with her inside. Once it stopped, Venus snuck out of the truck to see a farm and she immediately loved it there. The trees, the crops, the *animals*, the... everything. It was amazing. After a minute or two of just enjoying the scenery, Venus heard thumping and went to check it out. She saw a goat destroying a corral with its kicks and soon that goat and many other farm animals escaped. Two farmers, Farmer Yumi and Farmer Al, came out to see the commotion and Farmer Yumi immediately called someone called the *Paw Patrol*. But Venus was already herding the animals back to the corral in a matter of minutes. She even used her lasso to temporarily put in the place of the broken fence. Soon after the Paw Patrol arrived and Ryder, along with Farmer Yumi and Farmer Al, were impressed by her skills. She was asked by Ryder if she wanted to join the Paw Patrol and Venus accepted. Soon, Farmer Yumi and Farmer Al adopted her and she became a part of their family and they even gave her a cowboy hat. Venus was so happy and she realized this place was where she belonged, with ones that loved her just as much as she loved them.

Venus loves spending times with the pups at the Lookout whenever she wants and loves to hang out with her friends. One day, on a trip to the jungle as a small vacation with Farmer Yumi and Farmer Al, Venus met Tracker for the first time and she subconsciously fell in love with him. After a while of visiting one another and hanging out, Tracker asked her out and she happily accepted. They dated happily for a few years, even when Venus’ birth family showed up again in her life, Tracker was there to support her on seeing her birth family again. Eventually, Tracker proposed to Venus to which she accepted with so much excitement. After about a year, the duo decided to have pups and Venus gave birth to a couple of pups. **(I will not be creating any next gen pups any time soon. I want to do the first gen pups before I even think about their children.)**

## Personality:

Venus is a sort of fearless, reckless, wild, adventurous, and tough kind of pup, despite her small size. She loves to wrestle and play roughly with the other pups and get down and dirty with them. This young cowgirl pup can be a bit stubborn and sassy at times. She’s also very prideful of her lasso tricks and will get defensive if she thinks her tricks are being insulted. Venus also tends to always talk with a Southern accent, sometimes making it hard to understand her. She’s also rather defensive of her friends and family, whom she’ll always defend with all her might. Despite all of this, she’s a kind pup with a big heart who loves to play and have fun. She **loves** to wrestle with the other pups/cats, often wanting to pin them down, especially Tracker because she finds it the most fun. She always likes to look underneath the surface and likes to get to to know others before deciding if she likes them or not. Venus is also very caring to the ones she loves, especially her crush, Tracker. Venus always wants to be good enough for the ones who truly matter to her and tries not to care what strangers think about her, but she still often tries to prove herself to others (and to herself), which sometimes leads her to get into trouble.

Venus has a soft spot for gardening and reptiles, since she believes reptiles are highly unappreciated. She even tends to her own little garden, helps with the crops on the farm, and sometimes helps Francois with his reptile friends. These sort of actions bring out the softer and more patient side to Venus that only the ones close to her are allowed to see. Even so, she can get defensive over snakes since she believes they’re wildly misunderstood creatures.

Venus seems to be quite fearless at first glance, willing to take any challenge head first. Whether it be fighting with an alligator, playing with poisonous snakes, being unafraid of the dark, willing to go high places, not scared of loud noises, not afraid of the vet, jumping off a waterfall, etc. She’s often called brave by others, even though she doesn’t really consider herself brave, but rather just not scared. The reason behind this is because she is a big coward when facing her fears, leading her to sometimes even freeze up on missions. In reality, she’s petrified of dolls, puppets, and she’s scared of dressing up *like* a doll. Even seeing a ribbon being brought up to her causes her to whimper and hide no matter who’s around, something she’s very embarrassed about. While she likes to take baths, she prefers not to get groomed immediately after due to her fear of being ‘dolled up’, her hat and collar being the only non-mission accessories that she’ll ever wear. She doesn’t really care if others find out about her family history, but it does annoy her if others automatically assume she’s exactly like the rest of her birth family. She’s also **very** bad at lying but can still keep a secret for a decent amount of time.

As Venus grows older, she becomes a little less reckless, thinking stuff a bit before jumping into action. She tones down her pride a bit and she doesn’t need to prove herself to others, especially with all the care she receives. Her fear of dolls and such is still there but is a bit more subtle. She becomes a bit more stern, especially if her pups misbehave but she always reminds them that she loves them nonetheless. She also becomes softer and more patient to the ones she truly cares about, especially her future mate, Tracker, and they’re pups. Even so, she’s very protective, maybe even more so, of her family and won’t hesitate to fight for them.

Also, Tracker helps Venus with her fear of dolls by trying to comfort her, which she appreciates a lot. Venus also really enjoys wrestling with Tracker a lot, even though she mostly always wins. She also tends to go on crazy adventures with Tracker whenever she can, even if it is just in Adventure Bay. Venus likes to lightly chew on Tracker’s ears as a playful way, but she makes sure not to ever actually hurt him.

**Farmer Al & Farmer Yumi**- They’re both Venus’ owners and she loves them very much. With them, she isn’t pressured to be someone else like she felt with her parents and her previous owners.
