Hello Pups!
A number of us have had our Dalmatian OC’s for years! However, naturally, across the years, they develop and have some changes to them!
Or, maybe, you had ideas for them while creating them, and changed them before officially uploading them?
So…feel free to post about either these ol’er versions of them, or ideas you had for them, but didn’t use.
Case in point for me…
Alvin, Olwe’s Brother, initially began as the Serious Minded one, being the responsible one to Olwe’s antics. However, as the years went on, the roles switched, so Alvin is now more the goofball of the two, who has a short attention span, with Olwe being the more responsible of the two.
The two also have a better relationship too!
So, what changes have your OC’s been through, Pups!?

Patriot developed a lot through the years, although oddly even when he debuted his name was mostly a misnomer (my first fic was NASCAR-themed and the red, white and blue Patriot character was supposed to go to a character more befitting of that name before I decided to use that design for the NASCAR fan pup giving exposition for that story). In my early fics he was just the NASCAR fan pup and he had a rather mean spirited relationship with Cadpig. Patriot was explicitly from the American South (his backstory is that he's from from North Carolina) and had a bit more of a Southern character early on. Cadpig as a result called him a redneck a lot and he didn't like it, calling her "Runt Dog" in retaliation all the time afterward. That gag and their rivalry would end in canon after Patriot started dating Penny and made an sincere effort to be nicer to her sister. Patriot's relationship with Penny probably also counts, it didn't work out and they decided they were better as just friends (I think someone else paired a fan character with Penny so I dropped Patriot's relationship to free that up...and because I couldn't write romance well at the time).
The car mechanic role in my earliest fics was actually given to Dipstick, given he is named after a car part it seemed like it would be fun to make the lovable hit a bit of a savant when it came to mechanical tasks. That didn't catch on so the mechanic stuff shifted over to Patriot to give him more to do.
Patriot's brother Cop Car has always been a police-themed pup. He was originally a more generic one but shifted over more to being explicitly a "good cop" type mostly to be the good guy's counter to Trey's character Dakota, who was also police themed and pulled a Face-Heel Turn after it was revealed he was Diana's brother and became much more of a "bad cop."

Oh Yes, I recall you saying that on Dipstick! Do you recall who the pairing was Penny was?
I do recall this detail on Malinda, even if I haven’t used her in a while.
That detail being, before the Cruella Plot, the human she went to was…pretty much more on the nose about being in occult stuff. They were essentially a Card Carrying Villain, whose name was very in the nose about being Dem0nic, too. However, the more I thought on it, I decided to have it changed so Malinda was adopted by an Amoral Attorney, who would fill Malinda’s head with a “Justifies The Means” Mindset, before being forced to sell Malinda to Cruella, after their corruption was exposed and they were disbarred.
That something?

I have some.. just have to think about who all has changed the most..
Cedric was originally Rebecca's brother who escaped DevilVille somehow. He also looked more like her and was kinda... generic. Nowadays, he's a modern pup who is actually a descendent of Rebecca. He is also very laidback, mellow and friendly and often plays the straight man to his friends' antics. Not getting into the leprechaun/lucky motif because he's always had that theme and it hasn't changed.
Desdemona was originally made to be part of someone else's story, and because the story was so steeped in tragedy, she was originally a much more traumatized, closed off, hostile character. She ended up on the streets with only Mercutio to call her friend. In my own story she's a lot more mellow, but still bitter and distrustful. Instead of being a street dog, she gets adopted with Ace? Possibly? and has her son with him. So she gets a happy ending.
Arrow has always been a son of Dipstick and Rebecca, but was originally created as ... honestly a badarse. He gave himself scars after receiving one too many teasings about his heart spots. Nowadays, he isn't scarred anymore but is still a bad boy. Mostly your typical schoolyard bully that can be scared off if he's stood up to. His physical design has no heart spots either, rather just one dotted arrow going over his eye and a few spots on his other shoulder and back.
When I first created Shelby, he was actually named Sheldon. Sheldon was like all my other Dipbecca puppies at the time honestly, a lovable doofus. But then I decided to take a different route with him and make him smarter and looking more like Rebecca. It led to him blossoming into the kawaii desu pup everyone on my Discord seems to love. He also originally had no connection to Phoenix until it was suggested to me on my ask-blog at the time that Phoenix take him under his wing. Now they have an entire subplot story dedicated to their friendship, and Phoenix's redemption.

I remember when Shelby first became Phoenix Protege. Any idea on who suggested it and why?
I also remember Cedric as Rebecca's Brother, who he was a bit protective on. Was he friends with Hesso too (Remember him)?

Yeah .. it was Bri who suggested Phoenix and Shelby be friends.. I honestly hate that >.< she thought it would make sense owing to them both being effeminate boys with heterochromia.
he might have been friends with Hesso I guess. I never really got to ask him about it.

I say it works out well with Phoenix & Shelby. You play them together so well. The two do have sweet chemistry with one another, and it did open the door for Phoenix to undergo some character development, Eh!?

I have been working on Muffin's Bio this week, and I do notice a bit of a change she's undergone since when I first created her.
Originally, I had written her as a lot more calmer and professional in her mannerisms, essentially like Captain Amelia in "Treasure Planet". However, as time has gone on, Muffin's characterization has evolved to become a quite Perky Goth, so she's into the spooky and macabre, but is also very energetic and friendly, a bit like De@th from Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" Comics.
How about you, Pups? Have any of your OC's undergone any major evolutions across the years?
