Tinsel is an independent girl, and that wasn't a trait that developed over her four months spent as a stray, oh no. Even as a pup she didn't rely on her mother as much as the other pups in the litter, and matured rather quickly compared to her siblings. She was using wit and cocky remarks long before any of her brothers and sisters, and Magic often found herself stumped by some of the things Tinsel came out with.
She may come across as judgmental or stand-offish at times, but that's only when you catch her when she's in a bad mood. Most of the time, Tinsel is a sociable female, amicable and enjoying the company of others. Because of her flirtatious tendencies, she's often be described as a 'bimbo', but to label her that would imply that she is stupid, and she is far from that. Sometimes, she will pretend to be ditsy to get what she wants, but that's being manipulative, not stupid. Sel wouldn't label herself as a do-gooder - in fact, she's not a big fan of labels and wouldn't brand herself as anything in particular - but she's not heartless. If she sees someone upset, or in need, she will assist them however she can. She can have her selfish moments, but most of the time she will do for others what she would want to be offered to her in return, and good deeds are one of these things.

Tinsel is a pretty female, and the only things that give away the fact that she isn't owned is the fact that she's a little skinny - although she has greyhound blood, so that's not particularly abnormal anyway - and she no longer has a collar. It's obvious that Tinsel is a mix of both Borzoi and Greyhound, but she could be mistaken for a pure Borzoi. Her facial structure, some of her body structure, her fur, her gait and the way she holds herself just screams Russian Wolfhound, but her stamina and narrow waist reminds herself and others that her mother was a Greyhound. Tinsel doesn't mind being a 'mutt', it just means she gets the best of both worlds, and she is still a pure Sighthound. She stands at 27 inches, and weighs around 118 pounds. Once, she had a mild pink collar around her neck, with a gold tag inscribed 'Tinsel', but that is long gone and her neck is bare, her fur now falling in a way that implies that such a garment was never there in the first place.

Tinsel was born to a bitch by the name of Magic, who had been bred with a majestic Borzoi named Archie a few months previously. Archie and Magic hadn't met before said mating, Magic was owned by someone who wanted her to have puppies and they thought that Archie was a fine specimen of a Borzoi, so an arrangement was made between the humans and Magic consequently gave birth to five puppies, two males and three females. Tinsel was the second eldest puppy in the litter, born after her brother Denzel and followed by Cork, Honey and Icarus, the youngest and runt of the litter. Magic did love her puppies, but she'd had litters before and she knew that they would go after eight weeks, just like all the other litters before them. Magic's family, on the other hand, were far more besotted with the puppies and were sad to see each of them go, and took such a liking to Tinsel - the only puppy in the litter that had inherited Archie's brindle coat - that they decided to keep her, naming her Tinsel due to the fact that the house was decorated for Christmas only a few weeks after the pups were born, and she was fascinated by the tinsel and kept trying to chew it throughout the duration of the Christmas period. Tinsel was given a collar, her immunizations and lots of love and attention, especially from the youngest human of the family, a four year old girl by the name of Emily. Emily had a lisp because she had a missing front tooth, so until said tooth grew back, Tinsel was 'Tinthul', but Tinsel didn't mind one bit and grew to love the girl as if she were her sister and best friend. Tinsel was nearing the age of two when Emily suddenly got taken away one day - to a hospital, because she became really sick - but Tinsel didn't know where she had gone, and in a bid to look for her, she escaped from the garden, tore her collar in the process of scrabbling under the fence and ran off into the city to search for her little human. It has been little under six months, and she is determined to not go back until she finds Emily. Little does she know that Emily returned home a few months ago, and the family are desperately searching for Tinsel, the Borzoi just hasn't ventured back into her old neighborhood yet. Once she does, boy will she get a surprise.
