Name: Weisse Spitze
Meaning of Name: "White Tip", because it's the white tip on her tail that helps recognize the species
Age: 5
Gender: Female
Species: Jackal
Sub-species: Side-striped
Colour: She is a sandy almost golden colour with a paler under-belly and a large black saddled over her body that is dappled, mottled, and ticked, with white, grey, brown, and gold. She has has a white tip to her tail and a strange cream stripe on each side, though her markings are dark so it is barely visible.
Description: Shorter and not as grand as others jackals, she has smaller ears with an incredibly foxy appearance. She is probably the equivalent of a coyote and she has thin fur though its quite short and she has shorter legs and a chunkier body then most dog-like animals.
Come From: The Wild
Breeding History: Bred once, cubs didn't make it
Health Problems: N/A
History: Born wild and lived wild for a long time with a history of upsetting events and few chances to live, until she was eventually caught by the humans. She had a different name at first but it faded away as the German Scientist that had caught her began nick-naming her "White-Tip" while he was checking her responses, behaviors, health, and preparing her for shipment. He grew fond of her but she often bit and attacked him, being afraid of man, though she grew fond of the name. Eventually she was permitted to leave the camp and she scuttled away though she had made friends with an Okapi called Jethro and an Aardwolf named Dusk. But though she'd found a nice home and was quite happy, Weisse Spitze grew very lonely, until one day she had an encounter chasing termites and met the aardwolf again, and they decided to bandy together to help find food.
Mate: Had one, but he got on the wrong side of an angry spotted hyena and died later because of a punctured lung from a bite to the chest.
Offspring: Has bred before, but they all got killed by some playful young cheetah males that were being cruel
Companions: She doesn't really want anything but Jackal, vulture, and hyena company, and even then that's when she has no cubs, but she does have Echo's Dusk as her constant little companion.
Personality: She acts and often seems highly aggressive, but often its just a front. She gets afraid very easily and finds some creatures untrustworthy. When she's in a dire situation though, she often ends up sticking close to creatures and characters she would probably never step foot near, hence her friendship with Dusk, but it doesn't matter, they quite like each other as company.
Interesting/ Extra Details: She's a bit foul tempered but she does like Dusk's company.
