Cameron by swift-whippet on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Just some doodlethings of Cameron because I've been RPing her on Mushroom Grove a fair bit lately and she's always been one of my favourite characters to write for, but I haven't really drawn her a lot. I also kind of wanted the excuse to yap about her because I love her, so excuse the following tl;dr. You can skip to the last sentence if you're not interested, really.

I adopted Cameron from ~basi more than two years ago, when she was born to Basi's Tenderfoot and *MAxKhaos's Maxrunn. She's a sweet little roughhaired blue fawn lurcher with a white face, green eyes and a deaf ear on the left side. She has always been one of those characters for whom the writing always flows effortlessly no matter what (Penny and Wings being amongst the others -- think it's a sighthound thing). I love her idealism and optimism, and the fact that she refuses to give up on anybody. She refuses to believe that her rebellious sister Micca will someday not turn over a new leaf and come home, and she refuses to believe that daddy Tenderfoot and big brother Calib are currently gone for good (which they aren't, but she doesn't know that). I love that she's submissive and sweet and has no problem being on the lower rungs of the pack ranks, but if the situation calls for it she will step in and take the helm. Right now she has done just that, in Tenderfoot's and Calib's absence, and is the main provider for her mother and a new litter of puppies.

That puppy up there is Boo, Cameron's new half-sister, and also a character I've newly adopted. Boo's supposed to be a rebellious arrogant sort, and I was having trouble writing a tryout post for her because I didn't just want her to be another Micca all over again leaving the pack. In the end, Cameron will be the thing that keeps Boo from leaving, because Cameron tells her stories and knows how to deal with her in ways that her mother and brothers don't or can't. Putting Cameron into the picture, the post just flowed. Cameron helps me fix shit, she's awesome like that.

So that's about it. In summary, Cameron = :heart:
