Filip is easy to spot with their spiky collar, despite their serious look they are quite social with a big heart.
Filip really enjoys company and Caring for others just feels right for her, shes no stranger to having fun either gladly playing with others.
Favorite parts of the day on the Farm were when she got to hang out with the various farm animals they protected.
Learn how their lives were.
Filip follows the rules and does their job but has for some time now found the factions authorities to be irritating and doesn't agree with some of the things they say.
He feels frustrated over not having more freedom, wanting nothing more than to either confront them or leave farmstead if the right opportunity comes.
Because of misinformation, bias, dishonesty and wrong assumptions among other things influencing what others may believe, Filip questions a lot.
He doesn't think of himself as not making mistakes or perfect by any means, just makes sure to think critically of any information someone else especially authority gives them and to never lie.
This can however make him feel argumentative and distrustful for others.
Their opinion on the humans is a bit mixed.
Filip doesn't dislike the humans entirely but some of their actions are difficult to stand regardless.
He grew up surrounded by ideas of helping the humans, being loyal and on one hand his owner gave him the chance to meet the farm animals broadening his world view a little more but on the other hand the idea of them deciding near everything about others life feels wrong.
His owner also not letting stranger dogs into the property if she sees them, chasing them away instead.
Makes it difficult for Filip to socialize with the other factions other than the few brought by his owner's human friends, something he would like to do as he is skeptical of what some of the other Farmstead dogs claim about pet, stray and junkyard.
However it's easier to talk than to do, at this moment Filip doesn't expect to achieve/start anything except maybe inspire others and fix a life for herself that she is more pleased with.
Trivia:
Favorite food?
Wet and dry mixed however their not the best at remembering to eat
Opinions on the seasons.
All of the seasons have their beauty and she is generally good at dealing with their less pleasant attributes, mud during the summers can be pretty irritating for their paw though.
Backstory
Filip were born into a litter of smooth collies, at that time they already lived within Farmstead though at another farm than the one Filip would later work at.
Living mostly inside at first Filip and their siblings were later moved out with their mom who had the job of Plot guardian to an shelter shared with farm animals.
Their mom named Vanilla taught her kids all that she knew helping them become decent plot guardians themselves and learn about living in Farmstead, however she were also quite judging of the other factions and wouldn't speak highly of them.
That coupled with other adult dogs they meet sharing the same ideas made Filip agree at first to fit in, assuming the adults were right about their claims.
Filip and their siblings loved guarding and helping the farm animals, it was like an game they played together.
They were all happy with Vanilla, other adult farmstead dogs and the owners. Good food and supportive community.
Then one day when Filip were a little older their owner got a call about a newly moved in farmer who were in need of an guarding dog, out of Filip's siblings they were chosen to move into the new humans farm.
Separating from their family were hard at first, getting into a loud scary something which moves fast called a, car? To get to this new "home" was an experience for sure.
After arriving Filip got to meet this new owner, a woman with an little uncommon style clothing wise for a farmer, spikes and leather instead of the soft fabrics Filip were used to.
This style inspired the collar this new owner choose for him, she also thought the spikes could be helpful for predators.
The farm consisted of an smaller area than the old home with a place designated for the animals Filip were to guard, ducks and a singular Jacob sheep.
Living there weren't too bad either, the owner were kind and did her best as an new farmer. Then one day Filip meet someone.
They were an pet, there on a visit with their owner who knew Filip's owner.
After that it happened more since Filip's owner liked inviting friends over, some having their dogs with them.
After engaging with more and more dogs Filip started to notice that maybe Vanilla and the others in his life weren't right about everything.
One of these other dogs shared what they and their owner does during the days, things very different from what Filip has to do.
It got him thinking about his job, Farmsteads rules and others general opinions on how you should be, did Filip want to live and die here, working with this?
Filip knows he cares for the farm animals and remember having fun with their siblings as pups but that was then, thinking about it more now they weren't so sure anymore if they enjoy being an plot guardian.
The years went, Filip doing their job every day though slowly changing inside as they grew.
