Name: Alfonso
Gender: Male
Age: 3 years
Breed: Shiba Inu
Appearance:
This charming devil is cloaked with a tri color pelt, black as the night so many lovers howled to, sweet caramel coated over the pristine white as the first snow. His eyes are warm milk chocolate pools of deep set love, with perfectly perked ears. His round muzzle and tight lips add to his handsome features. Alfonso has a thick tail that's larger at the base, curls and carries over his back. Alfonso is 15 in. at the shoulders and weighs around 20 lbs. His fur is double coated and as soft as cupid's feathers, with long straight front legs like the arrows cupid fires on lovers.
Personality:
Alfonso is nothing short of crazy. It's a good crazy, the kind of crazy we can all laugh at and not have to worry about him coming to your house in the middle of the night and stabbing poor little billy and jane. Alfonso thinks himself all knowing and all seeing of looovve, in his mind, he can set even the most unflattering and boring of dogs up with matches. This however, causes Alfonso to be in everyone's business but this is mainly for his business, so he knows everyone's preferences when he takes it upon himself to find them a "friend". Alfonso is a workaholic in a sense, a very busy man indeed when he has all the dogs in Saddle Creek to match up... or break up. When Alfonso thinks that two dogs aren't made for each other and are just running circles around one another instead of meeting in the middle, he'll try to break their relationship, only to reappear days later to set them up with another. Alfonso likes to keep himself clean, to impress clients and the ladies, he isn't too OCD about it however. Alfonso over all truly thinks he's the dog version of cupid and can bend relationships whether they involve him or not to his will, knowing everybody's business because he sticks his nose in places it doesn't belong, cleanliness is close to loveliness in his mind, and sensitive, he can take words to heart and become extremely upset by criticism he doesn't want. Alfonso is also very convincing, with his time with his owner he tricked dogs into thinking he was all knowing and all seeing, he speaks with charisma and such devotion that they believed him.
History:
Alfonso was purchased at the age of one, by a traveling con woman. The lady often refereed herself as Lady Genie, she promised gullible humans she'd tell them their future. Who their soul mate was, how successful they would be, how many kids they would have, etc. etc. Alfonso picked up on this habit, often strolling into whatever town they were hitched in at the moment, and promising dogs he could tell them their futures. Of course, like his owner, he pulled answers out of his ass and said they were fact. He would request steaks, bones, pork, you name it, he got it. On his many travels, Alfonso was good at matching people together, he was very interested in the behaviors of dogs and physical as well as mental attraction. He studied as much as he could, often observing dogs from a far (usually the courtship of two dogs or just regular interaction) and then questioning them about their previous encounters, often annoying the hell out of them.
On one faithful day in a small fishing town in Maine, Alfonso was just coming back from ripping off unsuspecting canines, upon entering the carriage, Alfonso had run into a bottled brew, tainted pink and red with a heart charm on the cork. The glass broke and feel in front of him, splashing most of the content onto him. Alfonso knew his human had many tricks up her sleeves, but as far as he was concerned, the potions actually gave powers (though sense people believed they actually drank a real potion, like for example, a potion with unlimited strength, the person just believed they had such powers so they had more energy channeled to lift things they 'couldn't' lift before). Alfonso couldn't, nay wouldn't keep his powers for just some passing by mutts on the east coast! He escaped as soon as he could, spreading his cupid wisdom amongst all the poor loveless dogs his path crossed. His next victim: Saddle Creek.
