YOUR BACKGROUND
Mother:
CadpigFather:
TripodAny Siblings?: None
How did your parents get together?: All Tripod's life he had been hiding behind a mask of confidence and cockiness, but it couldn't last forever. Eventually, something would rekindle the pain he had been trying to hide from his biological family's taunts and abandoning him and Tripod would cut himself off from the rest of the dalmatians on the farm entirely to try and protect himself. While the rest of the dalmatians were keen to leave Tripod to pick up the pieces of his shattered shield, Cadpig would offer comfort. Somewhere along the line, they would develop feelings for one another and, since they weren't related by blood but by adoption, it would be all right for them to mate.

YOUR PERSONALITY
Basic Personality: Trigger is a bright pup, eager to please and very optimistic. He tends to prefer looking on the bright side of things and doesn't typically let things get him down easily. Unlike Tripod, Trigger is not particularly athletic. He prefers racing for fun as opposed to racing for sport. Trigger tries to be a peace maker at times, but it doesn't always work in his favor. While he does love Cadpig and Tripod he does wish Tripod wouldn't try so hard to show that he loves him. Trig knows his dad loves him, but he gets a tiny bit annoyed by it. Trig doesn't understand why he is treated differently by some of the other pups on the farm, thinking it is normal for dogs to have three legs sometimes. In this way, Trig is just a bit naive.
Trig also developed a love of snack food, but due to his love of running he is rather slim. His love of food helped him develop a bond with his uncle Rolly, and thus Rolly is his favorite relative aside from his parents.
Likes: Reading, racing, his parents, his uncle Rolly, snacks (especially popcorn and cookies), and playing with the other pups around the farm.
Dislikes: Tripod's need to remind him that he loves him, other pups making fun of his lack of a fourth leg, other dogs making fun of Rolly, and he's not particularly fond of sports.
Fears: Trigger has this latent fear of something happening to his family. He can't imagine living without them, particularly his parents and uncle Rolly.
Hopes and Dreams: He doesn't really have any hopes or dreams that particularly stand out, but he wants to do something with his love of racing.
Temperment: Trigger is usually happy-go-lucky around others, willing to make friends with pretty much anyone. But, if you insult his family or anyone close to him he won't hesitate to make it known that you've made him mad.
YOUR STORY
History: Tripod and Cadpig wanted to have a nice sized family. Not as big as Pongo and Perdita's, but not too small a litter either. Due to Cadpig's being a runt, however, they were unable to have the big litter they wanted. Instead, a single son was born to them and, to Tripod's horror, he was born with only three legs. Tripod didn't want his son to go through what he did when he was a puppy, and so decided that he wouldn't be like his parents and siblings. Tripod would make sure his son knew he was loved. It was Cadpig that decided on the name Trigger, because she thought he looked like he could be a good racing dog.
Trigger lived a normal life on the farm. Well, as normal a life as one could live with only three legs. He grew close to his parents and developed a good bond with his uncle Rolly. All and all, Trig was quite a happy little pup despite being a little irritated by his father needing to show affection to him as often as he did. He didn't mind it too terribly much, but wanted a little space. Trig also wasn't fond of Lt. Pug bothering him about joining the Bark Brigade just because he was Tripod's son. Trigger decided that he just wanted to be a normal pup living a normal life on the farm.
Things changed, however, when one day Trig woke up to discover he wasn't in the barn anymore. Initially, Trigger panicked because he thought he had been taken away from his family. However, after a bit of time passed Trig decided it wasn't all bad. Maybe he could meet some new pups to play with!
JUDGEMENT
Sample Post: The whistle around his neck gently thumped against his chest as he walked along. Trigger was scared. He didn't know where he was or what had happened, only that he was no longer on the farm. "Mom? Dad? Uncle Rolly? Where is everyone?" he called. When he got no response, Trig let out a pitiful little whimper and continued to walk forward as his tail drooped downward. He couldn't be alone. He just couldn't be!
...Wait. Maybe this wasn't a bad thing. Look on the bright side, Trig. Maybe there are other puppies to play with around here. he told himself. Yes, that was definitely something that cheered him up. Trigger's tail wagged just a little at that thought. He just needed to find those supposed other puppies were.
