    When exposed to a Water Stone, a Doggirl’s fur starts to change color, going from whatever it was before to a whitish hue, black speckles appearing in random patterns around their bodies. If the Doggirl was Near Human, she become more animalistic in appearance, gaining the white fur and spots. They gain a few inches in height and a slight bust increase as well.
    Dalmatians were among the earliest evolutions of the Doggirl discovered, and quickly became one of the most popular. They have the loyalty common to nearly all canine breeds, which made them popular with Tamers, and once Tamed, quickly proved themselves useful to firefighters, especially in more inland areas where water types are not as common.
    Dalmatians were first discovered near the end of the Revenge War, working in Sukebe’s laboratories as assistance. Their role in the labs was quickly discovered when they kept putting out the flames of flamethrower troopers they encountered, not to protect the labs (which, after Taming, many admitted they were creeped out by), but because they were created to do just that: put out fires.
    The breed’s inborn need to put out fires made them invaluable to firefighters after the war, when Ferals began to become a greater threat. To say nothing of their resemblance to the classic breed of dog normally associated with firehouses, which made them even more popular among firefighters. However, as times calmed down, the genetic need Dalmatians have to put out any fire they see started to become problematic. Dalmatians would constantly try to put out harmless fires, including matches for lighting cigarettes, campfires, or even the tails of CharAmandas, leading to difficulties and much unnecessary wetness. This problem was not insurmountable, however, and a method of training Dalmatian Pokégirls to only put out fires that needed to be put out was quickly developed. Upon training, for a while they’ll still be uncomfortable around fires that haven’t been put out yet, but will eventually be able to not react to harmless blazes. (Although they may end up staring at the flame for a long while.)
    In terms of genetic quirks, there are occasions when Dalmatians go deaf. Some Dalmatians are born deaf. This trait is assumed to be a carryover from the breed this Pokégirl is based on. This is also shown in Dalmatian Pokékits, who are born with pure white fur and only get their spots after their third year.
    Dalmatians mainly have uses in maintaining fire safety. They have a passion for learning methods of fire safety and control, and most firehouse Dalmatians make it a point to memorize any information they come across relating to the subject. They take it very seriously and become worried when someone is casual about fire in any way. Despite this, they still manage to be very friendly, helpful, and upbeat Pokégirls. When on the job, they use their enhanced hearing and sense of smell to track down victims trapped in a blaze, their heat resistance and enhanced durability giving them extra protection against flames in their efforts to make a rescue.
    Dalmatians are difficult to deal with in situations involving prescribed burns. They aren’t allowed near those areas until they are well-trained enough to not automatically try to put out the fires. They are generally used to help set-up the deadfall areas for the burns, and if trained, are used to help keep them under control until they are finished.
    Dalmatians are very oral creatures. They express most of their physical affection through their mouths, through kisses, and licks, and greatly enjoy oral sex as well. In terms of eating, they place a greater emphasis on taste, their tongues being very sensitive. This goes into their Taming habits as well, as Dalmatians tend to do a lot more with their mouths than most Pokégirls.
    Dalmatians have an ability that’s unique to them: Sealant Foam. In addition to their water attacks, Dalmatians can spray a foamy substance from their mouths similar to the kind used in fire extinguishers. It’s useful in containing blazes, although most Dalmatians don’t like to use this ability except as a last resort. The primary reason for this is that, by all accounts, the stuff tastes HORRIBLE. Many Dalmatians carry hard candy with them to suck on in case they have to use the foam, so as to avoid having to deal with the aftertaste for any length of time. Thankfully, the taste doesn’t induce nausea unless the Dalmatian in question as a very weak stomach, it’s just a horribly foul taste to them.
    Dalmatians, when Feral, became more frisky and mindlessly playful, blowing bubbles and watching them float around. As with most Dog-types, sure sign a Dalmatian is going feral is if their tongue hangs partially out of their mouth even when closed. If disturbed or frightened, Feral Dalmatians become trigger happy with their water attacks, splashing everything around them before running away. Threshold cases are not that uncommon, and usually happen if the Thresholder has both canine and water-type DNA in their veins.
