The story is to come. This Introduction bit is for me to show you a new character I am going to introduce to the Famous Five. Like some (and unlike some) of you, I really really don't like George in the Famous Five series. I'm really sick of how nice the others are to her, when she is so rude and impudent back. So, what do I do? I invent my own character on fanfic and annoy the heck out of George. I will try to stick to Enid Blyton's traditional, if not a bit old-fashioned style of writing children's stories, such as when they say "thanks most awfully" and "Golly!" and amusing things like that.
Title: Five Meets a New Friend
Introducing a new character to meet the Famous Five: Crystal and her purebred mahogany sable Shetland Sheepdog Maria, gotten two years ago as a puppy from work at animal rescue centre.
Crystal is introduced at the beginning as tall with long slim legs and a head of wavy brown hair so dark it seems black. She has a red Alice band, which matches the colour of Maria's glittery collar. She wears a pale pink, collared blouse with a blue tartan skirt with white tights and black shoes. She has piercing but very pure and deep blue eyes and pale skin.
She met Julian when he went to summer camp last summer, where she surprised him with her acute senses, witty brain and amazingly athletic abilities with her skinny frame. She is also very quiet but knowledgeable and can sometimes have a dry and sarcastic humour when provoked. Most of the time she is pleasant, sweet and very lenient and patient. She is also very polite and talented, which makes her "goody-two-shoes" appearance annoy George very much. Crystal also has a very tiny silver whistle on a strong string around her neck, which she is able to pick up with her teeth swiftly and blow for Maria. It is very, very high-pitched so normal people can't here, and incidentally, Timmy can barely hear it also.
Maria is 16 inches tall and is tall for a Shetland sheepdog, with pricked up, sharp ears, warm black eyes and a shiny black snout. She is covered with well-groomed, fluffed out fur. She has a white throat, tummy and legs and some patches around the bottom of her neck. She has a black back with streaks of black on the sides of her neck. The rest of her body is a mahogany sable. She is very obedient, intensely loyal with a pleasant temperament and is lively, very intelligent and loving.
Of course, Maria being a purebred dog annoys George for her Timmy is a mongrel. Maria is friendly with Timmy and charms him like Crystal is also able to do – but obviously neither of them charm for evil.
Obviously, none of the Famous Five knows this. Julian is going to introduce Crystal and Maria to his siblings and cousin. The next chapter is coming up, but it may take a bit of time, as you can probably tell with my haven't-updated-in-a-year other story!
