Well darn. I’ve never done a pet template before, so I’m unsure as to what all I can put as to how they can aid in battle, especially with this one being canon and having several abilities of it’s own. Help?
Name: Angelo (Sant’ Angelo di Roma)
Race: Canine (Border Collie/German Shepherd mix)
Age: 2 years old
Element: Cure
Personality: Angelo is extremely loyal and friendly. With the mix of these two particular breeds, she is also extremely intelligent.
Fighting Style:
Angelo can fight as any normal protective dog does, with body and teeth, but at times can also help in supporting me
Angelo Rush: Damages one enemy/random attack
Angelo Recover: Restores slight injuries such as cuts and bruises
Angelo Cannon: Damages all enemies when called
Angelo Strike: Damages one enemy when called
Description:
Angelo stands 3’ 8” at the head with long brown, black, and white fur. Brown eyes. Black nose. Floppy ears. (If you really need more, let me know. It’s a dog. I didn’t know what else to add with this.)
History:
It was never planned for me to have a dog. My father always refused it. 2 years ago, while in Timber, I went into the pet shop as I always did with wishful thinking. And there she was among all the other puppies. But there was something different about Angelo. Where all the others were jumping up against the glass wall barking and yipping for attention, Angelo alone remained in the corner just staing at the wall.
I asked the store clerk if she was sick, and he assured me the puppy was healthy, as the veterinarian had just been there that morning to give them their weekly check-ups. He stated that this particular pup was found abandoned at their backdoor in the ally and so they cleaned her up, gave her a well check-up, and placed her with the other purebreds to give her a chance at a happy life with someone. I tried whistling for her, making squeaking noises, tapping on the glass, anything! just to get her attention, but she wouldn’t budge.
Seeing that I was determined to get a reaction, this encouraged the shop clerk in hopes that I may take the puppy, and so he went to the back of the kennel and retrieved Angelo for me to hold. The poor thing just shook and buried her head in the crook of my arm. How could my heart not fall instantly in love? So I held her for some time, walking around the store carrying her until she felt comfortable with me to finally stop shaking and lift her head to look around. The moment she finally looked up at me, I received a puppy kiss on the chin.
So to hell with what my father said from that moment on. I bought her!
As she grew, so did our bond of friendship, and in time, Angelo showed just how uniquely intelligent she was. Although she already knew a couple of special tricks, during my battles with Squall and the others, Angelo proved she could learn even more by helping me or the others from time to time whether by attacking foes or nudging someone back up to fight with her cold nose.
