Corleone

Name: Corleone
Pronunciation: cor-lee-o-nee (click to hear it aloud)
Alias(es): Leo

Age: five years*
Gender: male

Breed: "catahoula leopard dog" x "doberman/border collie"
Colour: chocolate/tan
Markings: merle

Appearance: Tall and wiry, with flyaway ears and a kaleidoscopic pattern that encompasses his entire body, Corleone is interesting but probably not conventionally attractive. He's got a body made rangy and hard from the years spent making his own way; everything about him is sharp and angular, no smooth curves or fluffy protrusions. His eyes are a bright gold that complements the deep chocolate and red tones of his coat. Approximately 25" tall and 80 lbs, Leo is much quicker and more graceful than he appears.

Personality: Strong-willed, loyal and... ferocious would probably be the best three words to describe Corleone. Although sarcastic fits in there somewhere, too. He's stubborn and extremely slow to respond to any outside force, especially if that force is a dog that he considers lower on the hierarchy than himself. And with his combination of wit and wiry strength--well, he's got a bit of a superiority complex. Leo is a thinker and prefers to keep his thoughts to himself unless he can imagine an especial reason to share them. He's not only difficult to influence but above influencing others. He just doesn't consider it worth his time to try and sway another to his way of thinking unless they're going to be around for awhile--which is very unlikely, considering how much he enjoys being alone. He is a strong fight despite his size and, although highly disciplined, appreciates a dirty scrap when he can find it. Leo is more likely to walk away from an altercation with a sarcastic grin than a pronounced limp in any event. He's also extremely anal retentive about language, diction, and grammar.

History: Leo was born wild (he prefers the term "wild" to "stray"; stray indicates that he wandered from somewhere or is lost)--it's evident both in his build and in his attitude. His mother gave birth to a litter of puppies in the middle of a wild dust storm. Most of his brothers and sisters choked to death on the grit filling their nostrils and lungs and those who did survive went their separate ways as soon as they were weaned and walking. Priding himself on his own survival, Leo likes to think that none of his siblings survived to adulthood; it makes him feel special. It's been four straight years of ranging the dusty plains and fending for himself since then. Corleone is about due for something interesting to happen to him.

Due to my account having been deleted, I can't edit him. Should I be reposting this bio?  His age is the only thing that needs changing.  (What, five now, I believe?)
