Once a timid and skittish pup, Von has since developed the confidence and wisdom that come with age. Her big heart causes her to mother anything she perceives as younger or smaller than herself, and she derives great joy from watching her "children" flourish and grow. She is no longer afraid to stand up for herself and others, and has no problem putting upstarts in their place with a firm word and some physical force. That said, Von is still all soft edges at the end of the day and still adores cuddling with her handler, Tori, and other tokotas.
