Eustace's Dog Journal
This journal includes pertinent information regarding the dogs Eustace has taken under his care. The first few pages discuss the breeds in general with individual pages for each dog following. They are grouped by breeds and include basic biographical information including tidbits on each dog's personalities and special abilities. Although not up for adoption, they are readily available for use and usually around for visits or being involved in various hijinks, so anyone is free to reference the dogs for the logs and threads. If you have any particular questions, feel free to comment to this entry or PM.

(The individual dog info pages are written from Eustace's POV while the rest is OOC information.)

FLOWERS
The Flower breed is still something of a mystery as there is no known information regarding them. It is unclear if they are native to this world, Songerein, or if they come from a different world. Thus the name of their breed is unofficial but is the simplest and easiest to go with. Appearance wise they look most similar to Golden Retrievers.

Although the pups are about six months old, they are still about the size of a one-two month old pup. They seem to age slower, so it might be some time before they mature into true adolescent dogs. Overall they are a friendly family but they do have their own quirks and personalities. They also have their own special abilities so be careful.

Their most notable feature is the flowers that grow on their coats. Although each dog has a dominant type of flower, other types will bloom as well. They can be plucked off easily without harm to the dogs, and will also fall freely with new ones quickly blooming to replace them. When the flowers fall, they can sometimes crystallize and turn into flower candies that can be safely eaten. The flowers can also be used for any purpose, including cooking.

Originally found at the riverbank by Eustace on the first day everyone entered Songerein, he and Nanako Dojima brought them back to the treehouse neighborhood where they could live safely. They have their own tree trunk home that is furnished with beds, blankets, crates with toys, and automatic food and water dispensers. Their main diet consists of flowers, fruits, vegetables, and a little bit of meat, particularly fish. They can also eat sweet candies (not chocolate!) and enjoy honey and nectar. Although Eustace is the main caretaker, they can live on their own and anyone is welcome to assist or play with them. Because of the temporary nature of being in Songerein, it's advised against in adopting them, so they are considered communal and will roam around as they please.

CORGIS
The Corgis are similar to the ones found in the real world and both breeds are represented: Pembrokes and Cardigans. Pembrokes are the more popular well-known breed without the tail and smaller compared to the Cardigan. The Cardigans are larger and have tails. What is unique about these corgis is they have leaves as part of their floofy necks, so they need extra care in grooming similar to the Flowers. Currently the corgis are living with Eustace.

The corgis were found in a magic tree by Eustace and Alice (McGee). Nestled a little ways into the northern forest, the tree, dubbed "the Corgi Tree," is not native to Songerein and was brought in from a different world. The tree has a special enchantment that allows its inhabitants to have immortal lifespan, but as it was cut from its world, the magic could only maintain within the tree itself. When, the original guardian that used to live with the dogs stepped out, time resumed and he perished immediately. This left with something of a curse that was inflicted on Eustace for a short time. After resolving and solving the mystery of why the corgis could not leave the tree, enchanted collars were created to allow them to safely leave the tree and other items can now be safely removed. Those who enter the tree are also safe to enter and leave without consequence. There is a strange owl that also lives in the tree though its true identity is currently unknown.

Through slowly deciphering the journals left behind, it is discovered that the corgis were bred to be guardians of some kind, capable of fighting in battles. They have their own armor within the tree and already show their talents and are already well trained. Although the writing script is different, many of the words and language are similar to the Welsh.

The Corgi Tree is fully furnished with an upstairs bedroom loft, kitchen, living area, and bathroom that connects to a sheltered outdoor area covered by the tree's roots. It has a garden and where the dogs can do their business. Higher up are various watch stations. The tree is also self-sustaining, providing ample food and water for the dogs, however anyone else living in there will need to gather their own food.

While loyal and protective, he can also be devious in his ways, getting overconfident and end up being a troublemaker.

Really he's a brat.

Abilities: His defensive ability involves his flowers flying off his coat and bursting like explosives. At most it'll cause a minor burn but this could be more dangerous as he gets older.

However, it's not too difficult to gain his trust and once he's comfortable he shows a more outgoing personality, willing to play and explore. He prefers being in the gardens and quietly investigating his surroundings.

Abilities: When frightened, large petals and a cage of thornless vines will encase him as if to shield him from danger. The only offensive ability he seems to display is his flowers falling off and releasing a mild sleeping chemical through the pollen. At the moment it will only make one feel drowzy but it's possible to become more potent as he gets older.

Age: 7 years
Sex: Female
Size: 11 kg / 26cm
Coloring: Red
Location: Eustifa Treehouse
Personality: Rhonwen acts as second in command and helps take care of the younger dogs. She has a motherly attitude, making sure everyone has what they need and will be the first to reach out to anyone upset to give company and comfort. She also exhibits most of the herding instincts as she's the one who gathers everyone together and will even try to group people if they stray too far.

Abilities: She is quite intelligent and will remember where certain items are, fetching them when asked or needed. She seems to have a little healing attribute to help recover small wounds. Despite her calmer demeanor and smaller size, she is capable of finding weak points and target them to bring down threats.

Preferred Toy: Puzzle toys
Favorite People: Susato

Breed: Corgi (Cardigan)
Age: 6 years
Sex: Male
Size: 13 kg / 26 cm
Coloring: White
Location: Eustifa Treehouse
Personality: Caerwyn has more of a "guard" mentality and will almost always be on high alert, preferring to station himself near one of the watch windows. He is wary of anyone new and tends to follow anyone moving, ensuring they aren't getting into trouble. Once he's attached to someone he becomes even more protective. He does have a sweet spot under his belly. Tickle it and he will lower his guard and behave more like a puppy.

Abilities: He has the best sense of hearing, capable of detecting sounds from great distances and even when covered or blocked by doors. This makes him useful in searching so long as he can pick up an audible cue. He is also fast and will be quick to nip anyone who poses a threat. Together with Ivor he is strong offensively.

Preferred Toy: Tugs, obstacle course
Favorite People: Tifa

Breed: Corgi (Pembroke)
Age: 5 years
Sex: Female
Size: 12 kg / 27cm
Coloring: Red
Location: Eustifa Treehouse
Personality: Aerona is one of the more playful ones and enjoys chasing and digging. She particularly likes to find nuts and berries and have them as part of her meals. Fairly energetic, she can keep up with the younger dogs well and will initiate play often. She can be fairly possessive over anything she favors.

Abilities: Digging, both for finding and hiding things. Which can be...troublesome sometimes. Her sense of smell is not as strong as Briallen's in terms of tracking, but if it's underground she can pick it up quickly. She's also good at fetching things.

Preferred Toy: Her personal ball, plush toys
Favorite People: Eustace

Breed: Corgi (Cardigan)
Age: 3 years
Sex: Male
Size: 13 kg / 26cm
Coloring: Sable (predominantly red with black back and shoulders)
Location: Eustifa Treehouse
Personality: Ivor follows after Caerwyn but is more aggressive, always the first to sound the alert of anyone approaching. While he won't growl at anyone, he'll be put on a display of dominance until he hears the signal to stand down. He's at least quick to listen to commands. However he is also one of the most loyal, and once trust is earned he is more amiable and even lazy. He'll take long naps and will curl up under his blanket when nothing is going on.

Abilities: The second strongest of the group and capable of knocking over large objects and potential break through doors with that hard head of his. He can pull large weights, making him a suitable sled dog. He's also the loudest and can be heard from a great distance.

Preferred Toy: Tugs, obstacle course

Breed: Corgi (Cardigan)
Age: 3 years
Sex: Female
Size: 11 kg / 22cm
Coloring: Black-headed tri-color
Location: Eustifa Treehouse
Personality: Bri is the most affectionate and will be quick to seek company with others. She also exhibits signs of being the most pampered, preferring to be groomed often and will readily jump in the bath to stay clean. She dislikes walking in the rain unless she has a coat on and will avoid mud and unwanted dirt as much as possible, while enjoying spending her time in the garden and sunlight.

Abilities: She can find any flower or plant if shown a picture or given a sample to sniff. Her sense of smell is also the strongest, making her the best tracker...however she dislikes it because it would require her to go through areas that could get her dirty. Will require more training, but pairing her with Aerona seems to be the best solution for now.

Preferred Toy: Toy brush
Favorite People: Eustace

Breed: Corgi (Pembroke)
Age: 2 years
Sex: Male
Size: 11 kg / 25cm
Coloring: Red
Location: Eustifa Treehouse
Personality: As the youngest, Idris tends to run off ahead and act before he thinks. Rushing in to be first, going off on his own, try to prove himself in ways he doesn't have to... A bit of a handful with all the energy he has. He tends to get into trouble and will sometimes rebel against commands, so he has a lot to learn. But he has a good heart and will look out for anyone he considers under his care.

Abilities: The fastest of the group, it's as if he can conjure wind to increase his speed. Suitable for running both short and long distances as he also has great endurance, stamina, and agility. He also has a talent to weave between legs and trip anyone not paying attention.

Preferred Toy: Tugs, balls, obstacle course
Favorite People: Beat (designated walker)

Breed: Snow Wolf
Age: unknown
Sex: Female
Size: 31 kg / 69cm
Coloring: White
Location: Eustifa Treehouse
Personality: Spoiled brat Sassy with something of a haughty attitude, always quick to look down on anyone else and turn away from anyone she instantly dislikes. She's flighty, fickle, and oftentimes demanding without showing much respect. However, as my former familiar in isleofavalon she is fiercely loyal to me. She will take charge when needed.

Abilities: She can control the ice and snow elements, though her magic is less compared to back in Avalon. She can adjust her size to be a little smaller and can telepathically communicate—she just often chooses not to.

Data on all individuals Eustace has met in Songerein so far. Includes basic info and notes that Eustace would remember but I would be useless and forget. Feel free to contact me if anything is incorrect or changes. Mostly written for OOC purposes but also limited to information he ICly learns, so for example he might know someone's full abilities so it only lists what he's aware of.

For "Relationship" status, I go first by how well Eustace is able to connect and trust someone followed by the number of interactions he's had. By default most people will start as "Acquaintance." Currently listed in order of appearance but may rearrange as CR develops and such.

In the comments are lists of characters that he's met at least once but hasn't left a strong enough impression or hasn't kept up recently to be put into the files yet; and a list of dropped characters he's interacted with.

Completely automated and based off my CR Notebook script.

They'll tease and rib each other in their own way, but they are close enough to care about each other, Oriphi especially. She helps take care of the dogs and Eustace suspects if he's not careful she'll steal them all. NOTE: ORIPHI IS NO LONGER IN SONG BUT WHATEVER KEEPING THIS PAGE FOREEEVEEER

RELATIONSHIP: Friend
NOTABLE FEATURES: Eyepatch
ABILITIES: Uses swords; dreamotion tends to be ice elemental
FIRST MEETING: 11/13/2021; tries and helps with her thorny home problem.

NOTES: They are basically mirror images of each other, with Eustace seeing his past reflected in Beatrix. Because of that, he tries to push her towards a different path away from the one he had been on. This can lead to him being a bit more aggressive about "feelings" than he normally would, but he can see that Beatrix is changing. Their similarities also helps them understand each other, and gives Eustace the advantage in knowing how much to push and when to let her go at her own pace. All of this has led to close companionship and trust.

They've worked together a few times, and Eustace also relies on her for the Glowing Dawn flowers. While they already had a good relationship, it deepened into friendship after Susato helped out during the Nocstace plot. He probably sees her as something like a little sister, too. Now when is she going to propose to Kazuma—

FIRST MEETING: 12/05/2021; first communication was through the journals where Hans told the story of Else the Ice Queen. They would later meet in person with the corgis almost crashing into him.

NOTES: Hans is always on his best behavior around Eustace so he's none the wiser of the prince's questionable past. But it looks like it's going to work out as Hans seems to be less inclined to be power hungry and is actually willing to help Eustace in his various projects and endeavors.

FIRST MEETING: 3/09/2022; teaches Trahearne how to use dreamotion to deal with the vine overgrowth around town.

NOTES: They get along and work together well, and Eustace respects Trahearne's abilities and intellect. With the number of times they've helped each other, especially with what happed when Phantom turned noctaere and Eustace's own noctaere episdoe, their bond has strengthened that Eustace would readily consider Trahearne as a friend and trustworthy ally. So much so that he's asked Trahearne to be the officiant for his and Tifa's wedding.

CANON: Arknights
JOURNAL: removal
AGE: 30
GENDER: Male

NOTES: At first Eustace had been wary about Phantom after learning of his curse, but it wasn't long before they formed an amiable relationship, especially as they were both quiet individuals and got along well. That relationship deepend as Eustace teamed up with Trahearne to subdue him when he turned noctaere, something Phantom would return the favor when Eustace turned noctaere. Phantom is Eustace's go to person for anything music and in dealing with his own nightmare energy problems.

CANON: Turning Red
JOURNAL: itsgunnabe_mei
AGE: 13
GENDER: Female
RELATIONSHIP: Friend
NOTABLE FEATURES: Glasses
ABILITIES: Turn into a giant furry panda
FIRST MEETING: 5/08/2022; first meet at the egg nest in the Tree of Stories and although he finds her large furry panda arms a bit odd, he was on the receiving end of her blatant fangirling.

NOTES: Me is......a very interesting young girl who Eustace is never really sure what to think of. Mostly because every time he's met she's ogling him. Very weird. However, while he finds her hangup about her curse valid, he also believes she's in a safer more welcoming place in Song so he tries to encourage her to be less embarrassed by it. And yeah sure he cares about her well-being. Enjoy that frame.

CANON: Tales of Arise
JOURNAL: sermom
AGE: 25
GENDER: Female
RELATIONSHIP: Acquaintance
NOTABLE FEATURES: None
ABILITIES: N/A
FIRST MEETING: 5/09/2022; help build a little garden sanctuary for a nest of flower owls.

NOTES: They get along well with both having quieter personalities and Kisara having an air of maturity that Eustace can appreciate. His respect for her as deepened after she voluntarily helped him and Briallen grow closer again after the two were in a bit of a shy spell after the Nocstace episode. So probably closer to "Close Acquaintance," at least in his view.

CANON: Hazbin Hotel
JOURNAL: lonelysmiles
AGE: 30
GENDER: Male
RELATIONSHIP: Acquaintance
NOTABLE FEATURES: Demon; has dear like ears; demon form has stag horns; left red monocle
ABILITIES: Manipulate shadows
FIRST MEETING: 5/15/2022; when Otto's nuclear reactor starts to fail, Eustace meets Alastor with Ferran and Luca and they work together to stop it.

NOTES: Although a strange demon, Eustace finds him tolerable and Alastor did volunteer to help with teleportation services. Eustace did stumble upon him while he was having a glitch episode, and offers his communicator to help him channel into a frequency to try and stabilize. Alastor is deathly afraid of the dogs, which given his background is valid.

CANON: Overwatch
JOURNAL: b_a_n_g
AGE: old
GENDER: Male
RELATIONSHIP: None
NOTABLE FEATURES: Wears a mask
ABILITIES: Manpulate shadows; gunman
FIRST MEETING: 5/26/2022; focuses on fighting Reaper while the others deal with Otto during the nuclear reactor implosion.

NOTES: Eustace doesn't like this guy. At all. With the first impression being at the nuclear implosion, it's difficult for him to see anything positive about him—even if Tifa seems to be friendly with him. Doesn't help that Reaper likes to get under Eustace's skin, especially teasing him about his relationship with Tifa (though Eustace will not deny that Tifa could do better or deserve better).

JOURNAL: chefalier
AGE: 21

FIRST MEETING: 6/15/2022; worked together to fight a noctaere in the Moonscape event.

NOTES: Although they had favorable first impressions, it all tanked when Sanji realized Eustace was engaged to Tifa. Eustace isn't bothered, but it does mean Sanji is usually disapproving of him. They did have a cordial relationship over cooking.

AGE: 18
GENDER: Male
RELATIONSHIP: Friend
NOTABLE FEATURES: Wears headphones a lot
ABILITIES: Skateboard
FIRST MEETING: 6/23/2022; finds beat as a duckling and helps him get unstuck before they go after the pups who changed him.

NOTES: "Little Chick." Despite Beat's rowdy nature and being the type Eustace would normally not associate much with, the kid reminds him of Skull—only less dumb. It was mostly Beat messing with Eustace, but after the Nocstace episode they've become more like friends. While still messing with each other in their own way. Beat has the potential to earn the "little brother" spot.

FIRST MEETING: 7/07/2022; had a bit of a negative first impression with the guy being jumpy about being on the boat, but they eventually smoothed it over and continued with testing the boat while fishing.

NOTES: Another brat that bothers him. After the initial impression, Eustace tolerates him to a degree, knowing the kid probably won't leave him alone (even if he would prefer it—)

FIRST MEETING: 7/11/2022; witnesses rob get hit by a watermelon and heals him

NOTES: A strange fellow that Eustace can guess is a teenager. Although he puts on that tough front, he doesn't seem too bad. Maybe. Need more interactions to get a full opinion but for now Eustace just treats him like any other teen.

FIRST MEETING: 8/17/2022; in the Oz dreamscape, Alisae is the Tinman and Eustae is Toto; she finds eustace as he's starting to turn into porcelain and helps get him out.

NOTES: Already owes her for saving him back in Oz, and given how well she performed under pressure, Eustace has a little bit of respect for her. They met each other in their real forms at the Nightmare Carnival and perhaps dancing has helped deepen their bond a little...
