My name is Carly, and I am currently 23 years old. Not much is known about me, except I like video games, some anime, animals, books, and movies. I have a pet, which is a Quaker Parrot named Silver. I am currently in Yakima Vallery Community College for an Art Major.
My IMVU character is based alot on my old character, Salty. She was created back around 1991-93 when I was mostly a Super Mario Brothers super show fangirl. I was about 7 or 8 then so I pretended that I knew the Mario gang and that I, Salty, was their pet. I don't remember what colors I gave her back then, but I remember she started out being a mutt before she became a wolfdog. Originally, she had a sister named Shenzi, who was my best friend's character.
(New story for Salty)
Salty originally was a stray, half starving around the streets of the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario and Luigi were still bachelors then and where living in a place of their own. Mario took notice of the dirty, skinny mutt, and, noticing her friendlyness, took her in. After feeding her and bringing her back up to her original health, Salty's fur became a glossy, beautiful silver color.
It was then learned that Salty used to belong to a captain on the harbor around Pianta Island. This is the origina of her name, since the captain and his crew often called her "Salty Seadog." A few months before Salty was found by Mario, the captain passed away from pneumonia, and, feeling devastated, Salty left the ship. But since the wolfdog refused to go back, it was decided for Mario and Luigi to adopt her for the meantime. Peach meanwhile has taken a great interest to her, and before long she became the most pampered wolfdog you have ever seen. In later years she became a loyal protector to Mario and Peach's two children.
This is my current art of her. Before anyone asks, she IS NOT a Neopets Lupe. Click the pic to see the full version (via DeviantArt).
