Other: Other than Olivia, Swamp is my only fursona. Swamp was my first ever proper character and I think he shows parts of me. He has a lovely kind nature, and although he acts tough, he's a big softy inside.

Swamp is a very special character to me, when I first started FP I wasn't sure about the art side as I had never come across a sim quite like FP before, one day I was browsing the boards I saw a sale/trade post and immediately fell for my Swampadoodle. At the time obviously I was broke so Swamp's first owner very kindly offered to give him away for free, as long as I loved him and I think you could say I kept that promise ^.^

Swamp started off as a wild animal. for 4 years he lived in the forest hunting animals like eagles, squirrels and rabbits for his food. he was a wild dog, independent, he was abandoned as a puppy for being the runt of the litter and after that had never made contact with another human. Approximately 1 year later a 9 year old girl came to the forest she was searching for rabbits and she had a bag of carrots tucked under her left arm. Swamp watched her from behind a tree, slowly, he crept a little closer. Typically he heard some leaves crunch and looked down. Swamp had made the crunching sound. The girl had heard something but she had no fear she just watched waiting to see what the sound turned out to be. then she saw, she turned towards swamp and smiled. "come, come boy" she whispered in a friendly manner. trying hard not to scare the animal. Very surprisingly swamp crept up to her, head tilted. ears raised. she softly stroked the animals furry head and swamp rubbed his head against her leg. They became good friends. Ava visited swamp everyday for the next 2 years with treats and hard toys for him to gnaw at.

Swamp looked forward to seeing Ava everyday. but one day Ava didn't come back. Swamp thought of this normal and maybe she'd come tomorrow, but no. Infact she didn't visit for the next two weeks. Swamp was upset and wasn't in the mood for anything. His fox friends tried to cheer him up, but nothing worked. The next day Swamp decided to move on, by now he had figured that Ava was probably never going to come back so he decided to get it out of his system and move to another part of the forest. Leaving all of his toys and memories of olivia behind, Swamp set off and didn't bother looking back. A couple hours after swamp had left there was a voice in the forest shouting
"swamp! swamp! I'm sorry I left! I was on holiday." it was Ava! she ran to the log where swamp was normally inside waiting for her but she found nothing, just the toys that she had once brought for him. Ava sat for a while thinking and waiting for Swamp's return, he didn't come back. A little while later, a squirrel came down from a tree and startled Ava. He started speaking to her about swamp moving on because he was afraid she would never come back. Was she imagining things? or was it true, could Ava really understand animals? not thinking a thing about it olivia listened hard to the squirrel. "follow me" he said and so she did. Soon Ava and the squirrel had made it to swamp's new den. the squirrel said softly, "Swamp, I have someone who wants to see you." "go away!" swamp yelled. Ava heard. "Swamp..." she said. Swamp recognised her voice and jumped up, he turned and saw her face. His tail wagging so fast you could see 50 at a time, jumping up and down, spinning in circles!
"Ava!!!!!!" he shouted. She ran to him for a hug
