When reading my comics or stories and coming across the ''older girlfriend'' type character that often shows up in my works -- have you ever wondered who that girlfriend actually is? Well -- this is what Ayla would look like if she were real! To clarify, I am not the owner of this photo. I don't know who made this. But it comes closest to what I imagine Ayla would look like -- a tender yet strong-willed female adult Arctic Wolf who is always open to others and still carries some traits from her youth in the 90's.

Ayla was born on May 21st, 1991 -- about 8 whole years before I was born, in '99! Ayla's first appearance was in my second part of a science-fiction story I wrote in Document Word, where I traveled back to 1999 and ended up at a gorgeous meadow as a baby Arctic Wolf pup. Ayla was just casually walking by the creek near the meadows when she saw me lying in the grass, and the 8-year-old girl witnessed me waking up. She kindly and softly asked me what I was doing here, if I was perhaps lost, and if she could help me. After I told her that I was confused, but so glad that someone found me, she decided to guide me to the castle she lived in. Once there, the owner -- her master, a man named King Roger Rynant II -- welcomed us and took us in for a while. However after we lived our lives at the castle for about a couple days, I started to feel a bit homesick, and Ayla soon discovered this, just by looking at me with her caring eyes -- ones that would later become two distinctly different colors each, which is very rare in general -- and so she decided to help her new baby friend find a way to return to the era that I came from, and if the king was alright with it, Ayla could travel with me to what I referred to as ''the current''. Fortunately, King Roger II was OK with it, so after the two of us walked through the meadows in search of a way to go back to my era, we discovered a giant crystal that was hidden inside a gorgeous cavern behind a waterfall. After we both simultaneously touched it, a bright light spread out, causing everything to disappear, and after I woke up from the time jump, I looked next to me and looked right in the eyes of the beautiful, young-adult Arctic Wolf you see here on this photo. This picture can be easily found on the internet, but I thought that this specific color combination of the eyes worked best for my story. Maybe in the future I'll translate my work from Dutch to English and post the entire story here on the fandom!
