"Bell" Castigatio

Bellaria Castigatio, or Bell as she is affectionately known to the beachgoers of Seaside Sanctuary, is a striking hellhound with fur the color of a stormy evening's ash. Her fur is short and sleek, allowing for swift movement in the water and sand alike. Her eyes, soft and hazel, have a gentle warmth that contradicts the fiery myths surrounding her kind. Above these expressive eyes, her chestnut brown hair flows in soft waves that kiss the tops of her pointed ears, which are adorned with tiny seashells that tinkle faintly with every breeze. Her ears are always perked, attentive to the sounds of the ocean and the cries for help from those in need. Her fuzzy tail, a stark contrast to the rest of her sleek form, wags with enthusiasm as children play nearby. Her nose is wet and black, forever sniffing the salty air for signs of trouble or a friendly face. Bell's strong and athletic build is tailored for her role as a lifeguard, with powerful legs and a broad chest that allows her to cut through the waves with ease. Her paws are large, webbed, and tipped with sharp claws that dig into the sand as she sprints toward the water. Her teeth are a gleaming white, but she keeps her fierce jaw line softened with a comforting smile that puts even the most fearful souls at ease
