Personality
Playful, sweet, and good around children. She leads by example and likes to take charge, and will go so far as to tote small children around like pups if they're not doing what (she thinks) they're supposed to. When it comes to actual puppies, Almost loves being around them and seems to turn into one herself. In her eyes, she is biggest and best puppy, no questions. Less well-behaved amidst adults. She can be a selective listener and rarely follows commands unless she is in a serious mood or there is a troublesome subordinate Tokota around to follow her lead. She is not an easy Tokota to train because she is not food-motivated; play is her reward of choice.
Almost has grown accustom to being ridden, only by her handler Avalik; attempts by anyone else will result in a mouthful of dirt. She does not feel malice towards other riders, only mild disdain. If she has something you want, you won't be getting it back. (At least, not in one piece.) Although she is aware of her diminutive stature, she doesn't let it hold her back in challenges and events--at all . Despite her selective listening skills, she will go all out during competitions to please her handler.
Almost is often the first to initiate introductions and play when meeting new Tokotas, and makes friends easily. She has no fear of other Tokotas and will immediately assume a leadership role in group situations, especially around her descendants. She will follow another Tokota's lead only if they are a Starter or have proven themselves both knowledgeable and kind. Overall, Almost has a very positive attitude and she has nothing to apologize for, ever.
