Who am I? Just a conscience!
Introduce yourself
Hey, howdy, hey! The name's FloTheJungleDal, and I wished upon a star from this site. My other imaginary friends include Mowgli, Little John, Patch, Heckler, Nakoma, and Professor Martin Torque. Toughy and I are so very eager to join the Worlds of Disney circle of life!
Character basics
Character name: Toughy
Age: 7
Species: Dog (Mutt)
Birthplace: New Haven, Connecticut
Movie: Lady And The Tramp
Custom title: Joking But Caring Lead Howler
Why'd you pick this character? He’s a good-looking dog. His design is cute, and I love the way he taps his tail on a dog dish during the song “He’s A Tramp”.
Character appearance (try to get at least 2 or 3 sentences for each section)
Hair description: Toughy has no head hair like that of a human. However, he does have scruffy fur, most of which is brown. The fur on his left ear, the tip of his tail, and the area that starts at his neck and goes down his chest, belly, and area between his hind legs are all in a lighter shade of brown. The fur on his face is cream, except for a patch of fur on his left eye, which is in a darker shade of brown.
Facial description/mood/expressions: Toughy’s face is covered in cream fur, but he has a dark brown patch of fur on his left eye. He has brown eyelids, a black nose, and plain black eyes. He is usually smiling and in a good mood. He often feels and expresses happiness, relaxedness, hopefulness, and silliness. He also sometimes feels and expresses fear and sadness, though often in the case of the latter, he actually displays it to cover up for himself (and his friends whenever he is with them) the fact that he is taking part in a plan to escape somewhere or someone. He does genuinely feel and express sadness, though, whenever a friend of his gets lost, hurt, caught, or euthanized (or, as he puts it, given the long walk through the “one-way door”).
Clothing style: As Toughy is a feral dog, he doesn’t wear any clothes like a human does. Even as a feral dog, he doesn’t even wear a dog collar. If he was owned by a human and had a dog collar (with a license) to wear, he probably wouldn’t have been living on the streets, caught by a dog catcher, and locked in a dog pound.
Body build: Toughy is thin for a dog his breed. He keeps himself active for a lot of his life by roaming the streets, yet he slowly gets thinner and weaker as time progresses due to not eating anything for days at a time, as food is hard to find when living life on the streets.
Any unique traits (optional): None.
Original character analysis (In your own words and please be thorough)
Personality:
Toughy is mostly laid-back, as he often jokes around and has a good laugh, thinks positive thoughts regardless of what situation he is in, and never gets mad. He doesn’t even let the smallest things get to him. Even when he’s locked up in the dog pound, he thinks positively and doesn’t let that upset him.
Adding on to his laid-back personality is his “never give up” attitude. When he fails to achieve something, such as getting any food or keeping out of the dog pound after escaping from it, he will keep trying in doing it until he succeeds. He also encourages those he cares for who are with him to not give up in doing something that needs to be done, as well.
While he likes to joke around and have a good laugh, he never means any harm when he does so, for he is caring to those he is with. He sticks with those he is with in any situation, and he tries his best not to get separated from them in such situations. He also gets concerned about someone in trouble, and he will try to be there to get them out of trouble or wish that he could if there’s no possibility of that happening, such as when a fellow inmate in the dog pound named Nutsy was walked into a room to be euthanized.
Also, he tends to back down quickly when he gets scolded for joking around or unintentionally scaring someone with such behavior. An example of this is when he and Bull were joking around with Lady and her upper-class lifestyle when she was brought into the dog pound and locked in with them and Peg in the same cage, only to be scolded by Peg for scaring Lady like that, causing him and Bull to stop and him to ask what was the matter with the way he and Bull were acting.
History:
Toughy was born in an alley in the rough area of New Haven, Connecticut. He had four siblings, and all five pups were taken care of by their mother. Toughy and his siblings would be kept in an open cardboard box and given food stolen from the backs of stores and restaurants by their mother until she died from being attacked by a vicious, bigger dog, leaving the pups to fend for themselves.
When Toughy and his siblings got older, they tried to learn on their own how to survive on the streets like their mother did. As they tried to figure out how to live on the streets without their mother there to guide them, they all ended up separating from each other, never to be seen or heard from by each other again. After the separation, Toughy himself remained living on the streets, while one of his siblings got killed from an attack by a bigger dog, one of them left the city, and two of them were each found and adopted by a human.
As Toughy grew older, it got even more difficult for him to find food, and this caused him to become weaker and thinner. Whenever he went up to a human or a place that had food, he would almost always be shouted at or shooed away from those places and those humans by them. Very rarely did he get any pity and any food from those humans and those places.
While living on his own out on the streets, he met some other street dogs, one at a time, and befriended them. Those street dogs were a Pekingese named Peg, an English bulldog named Bull, a Russian wolfhound named Boris, a dachshund named Dachsie, and a chihuahua named Pedro. After all these dogs became friends, they looked after each other, talked to each other, and laughed with each other, though they were not all in the same place together at once most of the time.
At some point, Toughy and his friends heard about another dog living out on the streets called Tramp. They’ve met Tramp a few times and heard stories about him from many other dogs in the city, particularly about the many girlfriends he had in his life and how he was able to avoid getting caught by the dog catchers.
Toughy got caught by the dog catchers many times. Each time he got caught by them, he was caught with one of his friends. Some of the times he got caught, he and a friend of his with him would be released from the back of the dog pound wagon by Tramp. Other times, he would be locked up in the dog pound with his friends, and he would rely on Dachsie to dig their way out, while he himself would lead a chorus of musical howling to pass the time and keep the dog pound employees from finding out about their plan to escape.
On the most recent catch and lock-up in the dog pound that he and his friends went through, Toughy was just about to lead one more chorus before Dachsie dug enough to lead all the dogs to freedom, but the entire escape plan was interrupted when they heard one of the dog pound employees come in and saw a cocker spaniel named Lady being brought in and locked up in the kennel with Toughy, Bull, and Peg. When Toughy saw Lady locked up in the dog pound with him and his friends and the collar she had on with a license, he joked around about it and with her and her upper-class status, with Bull joining in, only for the two to back off when they got scolded by her for the way they’ve been acting towards the cocker spaniel.
While Peg and Boris were talking about the collar and license that Lady had, Toughy alerted his friends that a fellow inmate named Nutsy was “taking the long walk”. He told Lady that Nutsy was being taken through the “one-way door” and sadly nodded at her, confirming that what was happening behind that door was Nutsy’s fate. He then went on to talk about Tramp, revealing that he successfully got away from every dog catcher in the city, regardless of the situation, and had females, or “dames”, as his weakness. While on the subject of females, he and his friends listed the names of the females Tramp had relationships with in the past, with Toughy himself listing someone named Trixie as one of those females. Toughy also revealed to Lady that Tramp never took any of his past girlfriends seriously, and he, along with Boris, Bull, and Peg, stated that one day, Tramp would meet a female that he would end up finding true love with, growing weak from that, and being taken away and forced to meet his doom.
Toughy saw that Lady’s stay at the dog pound came to an end when a dog pound employee took her out of there after a license check and returned her to her owners, Jim Dear and Darling. The moment the dog pound employee and Lady were gone, Toughy and his friends continued with their escape plan. From there, it only took a few minutes to have the tunnel to freedom completely dug, and Toughy and his friends went out of the dog pound through that tunnel, with Toughy directly behind Dachsie, who was leading the way. As Toughy and his friends went further through the tunnel, it got dark to the point where they couldn’t see at all where they were going, so they ended up unknowingly going into different directions and coming out in different places. In the case of Toughy, the place he ended up in after the escape from the dog pound was so bright and cheerful that he believed that there would be no dog catchers or anyone who would harm, lock up, or euthanize dogs like him.
Ambitions:
As Toughy has been spending his entire life going back and forth out on the streets and locked up in the dog pound, he wants to live the rest of his life in freedom, but that’s hard to do with dog catchers and an order of the city council stating that unlicensed dogs will be immediately impounded where he lived, and he doesn’t know if the place he ended up in also has that order or any dog catchers or not. So, to get the freedom he wants, he makes it his goal to be adopted and given a collar with a license. But since he got separated from his friends, he makes it his other goal to find them and make sure that they don’t get impounded and/or euthanized.
Strengths & abilities:
Toughy is capable of living on the streets, and all by himself, for a long time. While out on the streets, he is always alert for anyone or anything that can scare him or is a threat to him. He is able to get by on no food for days at a time, though that’s not something to be proud of, for he’s been trying to find food the whole time he’s out on the streets, and food is hard for a dog like him to find and get.
He can howl musically, and he does this to pass time in the dog pound while an escape plan is put into action by Dachsie. His musical howling is so good that some of his friends and some of the other dogs in the dog pound will join in, which makes him make himself the lead howler of a chorus. Adding to that, he can look and act sad to keep the dog pound employees from finding out what he and his friends are up to. When he is out on the streets and not in the dog pound, he can pull the sad act to make humans feel sorry for him and give him some food.
Flaws:
Despite his name, Toughy is not so tough. He’s only called that because he speaks with a stereotypical “tough guy” Brooklyn accent, and he believes that having an accent like that covers up the fact that he’s really weak, when in actuality, it doesn’t. He can’t fight anyone attacking or chasing after him, as he doesn’t have the strength to do so. As a dog who lives a the majority of his life out on the streets, he can’t find or get any food every meal of everyday, and this weakens him as time goes on. He can’t even avoid being caught by the dog catchers or keep himself out of the dog pound whenever he escapes from there; he has gotten caught and locked up in the dog pound so many times that it’s no joking matter.
Likes:
Freedom, joking around (especially with his friends, particularly Bull), howling and tapping his tail to music, sticking together with his friends, being given something to eat, females (or “dames”, as he calls them)
Dislikes:
Dog catchers, being locked up in the dog pound, animal euthanasia, being scolded, being separated from his friends, not being able to eat
Fears:
His friends or himself being euthanized, being attacked by bigger dogs, being chased after (whether by bigger dogs or dog catchers)
Anything to add?:
None.
