Venus was bred in a poorly-managed breeding facility, where she was kept in a wire cage for much of her early months. The wires resulted in open wounds that became inflamed and contracted a bacterial infection, which went unnoticed for too long until treatment for it was no longer an option; upon a vet trip, her right front leg was amputated to save the young pup's life. She then was rescued by an organization to escape the poor living conditions she was being raised in. Despite her early setbacks, she is quite able-bodied and her physical and health restricitons do not hinder her too much. She has a strong interest in stars and any astrology and her favorite pasttime is to stargaze with her head in her owner's lap. Due to her coloration and restrictions, other less-friendly Tokotas distatefully refer to her as "mud".
