Both the female pups laughed as Appette slowed the car a little bit, allowing herself enough room to shift back into the lane with Belchic's, Raine's, and Tony's cars. "They all look really excited to see us!" Saturn stated, her tail wagging. "Now I'm really happy to be on this trip!" She slid back into her seat, buckling herself in on the left side and leaning her back against her backpack. She scrolled through her videos, searching for a movie to watch on her iPod, as she didn't want to wear out the battery on her DVD player.
"Want anything to drink, Appie?" she asked, clicking open the tab on her Coke can and taking a sip, her unopened bag of chips resting on her hoodie.
"I'm good for now, thanks." Appette replied, taking a quick glance at the GPS as Saturn sighed contentedly, finding something to watch and taking another sip of soda.

The literature aspect was something I used more in her human form. I was reading off whichever application I had saved on my computer.
Their intelligence and similar personality traits is certainly a factor I considered to be something that brings them together. I'm still in the process of developing their relationship past their first meeting, though I do think that they would go adventuring together and maybe try to out-wit each other?
Believe it or not, I was originally going to use "Annabelle" as her appearance! I had myself all set up to use her, but then Texa claimed her on DWoW and I scrapped the idea and went for another pup. As it was some time ago that I picked out her appearance, I don't really remember the factors that went into finding her appearance, but I think I had wanted a background pup with a speaking role that was established in the movie as female.
For her subsequent appearances, I think I'm just looking for another pup in the movies that looks similar enough to her to suffice as her in the other media. Spotted ears, a few spots on her legs, maybe some on her chest, too? I've been looking on the 101D2 screenshots for a few days now and have been trying to figure out which one would be best.

I feel like we need to discuss this pup, mostly because you all seem to love to avoid talking about her, and after playing with her personality a bit, she has come to be one of my favorite characters in the franchise, not to mention one of my favorite Lucky ships. It's established in the novel, "The Starlight Barking" that Gay is the mate of Lucky, however the only inclination of her personality we are given is that she is "as clever as Lucky." As we know, Lucky in the novel is energetic and described as "the ringleader of his siblings." Given these two facts, it begs the question about what Gay's personality is really like aside from the one-lined description. There was an old Dalmtian role-play board that a few friends of mine and my sister had made back in 2010/2011 during the drama that was known as "Dalmatian Domination." During the time the site was up, I role-played as Lucky, and if I'm not mistaken, I role-played as Gay there, too. Like on most role-play exclusive sites (such as DWoW), we have to write applications to be able to play as the characters, and some details of her personality I had established were that she was part of the 99, she is afraid of water because she never learned to swim, and she is very smart and clever and has a fondness for literature, as well as having a headstrong and sometimes bashful personality. I also wrote that Gay had been born the eldest in a litter of seven puppies, the litter being nicknamed "The Lucky Sevens" and Gay being called the luckiest pup for being born the first. I had played her on the many reincarnations of the "Disney's Alive" website as well, retaining basically the same personality as she had on DD, with a bit of shyness in her as well. One last detail I will touch on here is her appearance- it's never described in the book, other than knowing for sure that she is a Dalmatian. When Texa and Partner/Angel had created Annabelle and Partner as characters (these two: i44.tinypic.com/r9h6kh.png), I wanted to find a "canon" appearance for Gay, covering all three parts of the franchise: the 1961 movie, the 2003 sequel, and the 1997 Series. I'm still on the hunt for appearances from the Series and the sequel, but I've been able to find a pup in the movie that suits her. Her line is, "She's gonna make coats out of us!"I will now open the floor for discussion, however, allow me to make one thing clear: I don't need, nor do I want your violent pro-LuckTone opinions here. I would like this discussion to be handled as a mature sharing of ideas of how this character might behave growing up and interacting with the other 101. I would NOT like a pairing war.With that said, feel free to discuss this character!

Saturn felt a buzz in her front pocket, jolting her out of her concentration on her game. She paused her music and the app for a moment, pulling her phone out of her hoodie and looking at the message Flo had sent her.
“Lake Tahoe it is, sis!” she announced to Appette, who raised an eyebrow. “Lake Tahoe? That’s a bit of a drive, isn’t it?” Appette questioned. Saturn shrugged. “I don’t think we’ve ever been there before,” she replied, leaning forward and opening the glove compartment, grabbing a small GPS out of it. “But we can set up the GPS, just in case we get lost from the group again.” Saturn pulled Appette’s cell phone out of her purse, looking up the distance from their current location to Lake Tahoe, and putting the coordinates into the GPS. She set it up above the radio.
“It says online that Lake Tahoe’s a four-hour drive from here,” Saturn informed her sister. Appette shrugged, but smiled and nodded. “It’s a bit long, but I think we’ll be fine.” Saturn returned to her iPod while Appette continued to press on, spotting the back of Belchic’s car ahead of her. Up ahead, she could also see the back of a Land Rover, as well as a little bit of what looked to be a Camry.
“Hey Saff, I see a blue sports car ahead of us. I think we’re close to the group!” She shifted into the lane next to the blue car, driving up next to it. Saturn once again turned her iPod off for a moment, peering into the car next to them. Immediately she recognized a star-spotted Dalmatian wearing all black, as well as a smaller female Dalmatian next to him in a black zip-up hoodie and a black beanie, both with skulls on them , both sitting in the back seats. She caught a glimpse of the back of a larger male Dal in a purple shirt up in the passenger seat, and a very tall female Dalmatian in a blue shirt driving the group.
“It’s Shadow, Nemo, Belchic, and Tippy!” Saturn exclaimed, sliding over towards the window closest to the other car. Saturn knocked a little on the window she was looking out of and waved, hoping that it would get the attention of either Shadow or Nemo. Appette chuckled, timing herself so she would be able to fall back into line after Saturn said ‘hi’ to their friends for the both of them.

just want to make a quick point and say that since Shadow has not taken his turn yet in the RP, it leaves me with plenty of time to post my reply tomorrow, so please go against whatever I was asking about in the last posts and do not skip me in the RP. Thanks!

I just got a message from one of our coordinators on Facebook, and he time's been changed a bit for tomorrow/Wednesday. I have to show up there at about 8:15 and we won't be done until either 9:00 or 10:00 in the morning. Either way, I won't be on in the morning, so skip me if need be.

Well it's been a while since I've had to use this thing Just as a heads-up: as you may or may not know, I'm at my summer home, like I am every summer. Tomorrow morning and Wednesday morning I have to go up to my school to help work the Thespian Society table at freshman orientation. Tomorrow I will be stuck at home all day because my mom has work, but will be able to bring my laptop and such with me. Wednesday I will be leaving to come back here, as my little sister has orientation that morning and my dad can drive us back. So in the event that I may not be able to reply to the RP I'm in, skip me please. I doubt it would happen, but this is a just-in-case sort of thing.

Thanks guys! Belchic- It may not seem apparent, but Saturn's personality actually changed considerably. Before this she didn't really have much of a personality I don't think I ever got to give her a proper biography, even.

@shawn217 I think the only other original cast member to not be reappearing besides Jacques's voice actor is the one voicing Nemo. He's too old for the role now and I remember reading somewhere that he stated that he was upset about not being able to reprise the role.

I don't see it mentioned here, but you all know that it's been officially announced by Ellen DeGeneres herself that there will be a "Finding Nemo" sequel, right?
Called "Finding Dory," it'll be premiering in 2015, and according to Ellen, it's going to be focusing on Dory trying to find her family, or something to that extent.

Meanwhile, trailing behind the three cars was a silver 2008 Honda Fit. Adelaide “Appette” Dearly and Saffron “Saturn” Dearly had gotten a later start than the other eleven Dalmatians already well on their way. Their alarm didn’t go off at the right time, leaving the two to scramble and finish packing in a rush. After their scramble, they had gotten out on the road in a hurry, even challenging the speed limit a bit to try and catch up with the others.
19-year-old Appette was wearing a large lace top with white rabbits printed all over it with a white camisole underneath, leaving her shoulders and arms exposed, with jean shorts cutting off just past her hips and black leggings underneath the shorts, black high-top Converse sneakers, and a pair of floral-print sunglasses. She was driving with 16-year-old Saturn, who was wearing a blue pullover hoodie with a brighter blue design of various moons, planets, and stars on it, with a red T-shirt underneath it with a white star on the front, as well as jean shorts about the same length as Appette’s, and gray low-top Converse covered in white polka-dots. Saturn was halfway over the back seat, peering into the trunk and double-checking their supplies, to make sure nothing was forgotten in their haste.
“Okay...” Saturn muttered to herself as she held a small checklist in her paws. “Snacks, drinks, and coolers, check,” she said, pointing with her free paw to one red and one blue cooler bag; one filled with bottles of water and soda, and the other filled with dry snacks. “Luggage, check.” She said, pointing to two large rolling suitcases stacked on top of each other, one red with a yellow star pattern on it and a small Earth-shaped charm dangling off the zipper, and one pale green with a floral print. Both cases were filled with clothes and different pairs of shoes, as well as some hygiene-oriented items. “Personal bags-“ Saturn leaned forward and poked Appette’s purse, sitting on the center console. –and Appette’s purse, check.” She said, proceeding to point to one big blue and purple backpack sitting next to her on the seat, already unzipped, and one yellow travel bag lying next to the suitcase stack. Both bags contained some more snacks, as well as Saturn’s electronics (iPod, DVD player, and 3DS) and sunglasses in the backpack, and Appette’s iPad in the travel bag, with a few other hygiene things, books, and smaller clothing articles that wouldn’t fit in the suitcases.
Saturn proceeded to put her backpack on her lap and unzip the front pocket of the backpack, poking a finger around until she felt a small lump. She then zipped the pocket back up and pulled Appette’s purse into her lap, once again digging around until she felt another small lump, poking it open and feeling the edge of a card. She put the bag back, smiled, and looked at her list again. “Wallets and your credit card, check. Oh, and one more thing…” With an even bigger smile on her face, Saturn pulled out her most favorite comfort object nestled inside her backpack: a pale yellow duck plush named Cheese. “And Cheese, of course. Check! That’s it!” She hugged her plush and put him back inside the backpack, smiling at Appette in the rear-view and leaning towards her.
“Well, Appie,” she declared happily, “I think we’re good to go. I’m excited for this! I haven’t been on a road trip in such a long time!” Her tail wagged fervently as Appette chuckled. “Well, you certainly are excited Saffie, I’ll give you that. Now, if only I knew where exactly we were going,” she said, a hint of worry in her voice. Saturn just shook her head and smiled. “Leave it to me!” the younger Dal proclaimed, producing her cell phone from the front pocket of her space-garnished hoodie. She unlocked the main screen, searching for Flo’s cell phone number and wrote up a text message:
“Hi, Flo! It’s Saturn. Appette and I just got on the road, trying to catch up with you and the others. Could you please tell us where our destination is? Thank you!”
Once the message had been sent, Saturn got a can of Coke and a bag of chips out of the coolers, and curled up in the back seat of the Honda with her iPod Touch, putting on a song by Owl City and picking out an app to play on. Meanwhile Appette continued to drive, plugging her purple fifth-gen iPod Nano into the auxiliary cord, and putting on a playlist consisting of The Lumineers, Ingrid Michaelson, and The Decemberists. She relaxed and kept going, the pair getting closer to the other three cars minute by minute.

I'm scrapping some of those characters because I just feel I can't find a use for them anymore, or I've gotten bored or tired with trying to role-play as them or develop them. And no, Apollo and Athena are not related; Apollo is a Dalmatian, while Athena is a Golden Retriever.
