00I. full name Garnar
0II. canon or original The Hunchback of Notre Dame
III. years of age 2 years(canine)
0IV. gender Male
00V. orientation(optional): Straight
0VI. occupation: Has no occupation..simply a guest.

0I. body type He's a lanky sort of dog, but he's pretty athletic from all the running around he normally does.
0II. physical description Garnar's coat is a somewhat dark golden color, from head to tail. The areas under his muzzle, tail, and stomach are a dusty beige color, along with his paws. He also has some sort of "socks", which are brown in color. His nose is also brown in color, not black like most dogs. Most of the time, his fur is pretty scruffy, signalling to others that he's a street dog. Despite his appearance, he walks around with a pretty upbeat stature, as he always seems to have neverending energy(he's still a young dog).
III. height 26 in at his shoulder.
0IV. weight I'd say about 100 pounds.
00V. eye color Brown.
0VI. extra N/A

00I. overall personality Garnar is normally a very happy-go lucky dog, who is mostly calm in temperament(excusing his often random bursts of energy). He is a charismatic dog, wanting to make friends with pretty much anyone he meets. But the one who he lives to serve is Clopin, his owner. He is always fit and willing to serve the gypsy. However, he's capable of making his own decisions without Clopin around, as he doesn't like staying attached to one person for too long. At times, he'll reflect his owner in personality, being the rebellious one. He is definitely not timid, and not one to stay out of the crowd for long(he is a performing dog, after all). Garnar always shows confidence wherever he goes, and yet, he still manages to be humble.
0II. strengths

• Extremely loyal to all those he meets.
  
• Respectful.
  
• Humble.
  

III. weaknesses

• A little bit aloof at times.
  
• Sometimes rebellious.
  
• Can be lazy.
  

0IV. goals He strives to "seize the day", as he likes to say, and to be the best he can possibly be.

00I. notable family & friends

• Clopin: His owner, and really, the one who raised him from a pup. He deeply respects the young man, but he is his own self, separate from the gypsy.
  

The rest will be determined during his time at Hotel Cavalier

0II. overall history Ever since he was born, Garnar had always been a street dog, learning to fend for himself, without having a place to live. His hometown had always been Paris, and he can safely say that it was the street life that contributed to him not dying instantly as a newborn. On one rainy day, when the townspeople of Paris were scurrying to get indoors to avoid the water, Garnar was exploring the town, letting his fur become soaking wet in what seemed like a few minutes. He retreated to a small alleyway to try and stay dry, but alas, he wasn’t able to dry up all that much.

Soon enough, Clopin came across the small, shivering pup, and decided to take pity on him, taking him back to the his little house on the edge of town, where he lived with Esmeralda and a few other people. From then on, he was known as “Clopin's dog”, and he was trained to do the performing acts that most other dogs couldn't do, such as learning to walk upright for a short amount of time.

Some years later, Clopin discovered a mysterious letter, and after reading it, set his mind on taking up the invitation to the grand opening of this “Hotel Cavalier”. He bid his sister and his beloved dog goodbye, as he wanted to try and make a new life for himself. But as it was, Garnar followed his owner, much to Clopin’s chagrin. But in the new city, the familiar presence of a dog and childhood friend was rather comforting, so in the end, Clopin decided to let Garnar stay with him, knowing that the dog was self-sufficient, and would keep him company when he needed it.

III. sample post

(Animated High post) Curling his tail around himself, Garnar sighed, laying the upper half of his body to the floor of his dorm room. He really didn’t know what was going on anymore. One second, he had made it to Animated High, ready to reunite with Clopin…and the next, he found Clopin loathing his presence.

What did I do wrong?

He stayed in that position for a while, both paws covering his face in shame. He knew who he was. But the others were saying that he had been something completely different. Something that wasn’t…him. All that Garnar knew was that since coming to the school, he felt…different, somehow. For a few months, he’d stayed in a sort of dream-like land, while in real time, he was burning every bridge he had ever made.

No. I can’t be sitting here, wallowing in my own self-pity, Garnar thought, as his paws were brought back from his muzzle. Sitting up, the dog wore a determined look on his face. He was ready to go back out there, and prove that he wasn’t the same dog that had been possessed by some spirit. He was ready to prove that he was the real Garnar.
