CHARACTER BIO OF KEY CHARACTER
Li Hua is an ordinary girl who lived in Quang Ho Village. She has a brother, Shang Jie, and Li Wen as her father and the village headman. She’s a nice and kind girl who can she everything from any point of view. She believes that even wild animals maybe have a hearts also. She doesn’t really rely on the common sense, for example if there’s a wolf it must be dangerous. That makes her braver than she look, since she’s a quiet person. She cannot let bad and wrong problem to be happened.

She maybe not really a confident person, but once she know that it’s a right thing to do, she will keep that.



RESEARCH
HACHIKO
A true story about Hachiko who would aways accompany his master to Ueno Station in Tokyo and see his master go off to work at a local college and would always be there when he returned in the evening. The master one day suffers a fatal heart attack and dies at work and does not come home that night. Not knowing what had happened, Hachiko would spend the rest of his life at the station waiting for the master to return. Because of Hachko's devotion to his master and how he had touched the heart of the country a statue was erected in his honor at the station and has become a national symbol.


REFLECTION PAPER
Well, since I like animal so much I decided working on Hachiko (A Japanese dog) true story. I highlight only his loyalty to his master, which is, touches me so much. I was thinking about dog’s behavior that doesn’t need your popularity, intelligence, or money, but only love, then they will stick to you forever. I think that is beautiful if we compared to humans.
Then I got an idea also from Little Red Riding Hood. I know it's not a true story but I got an inspiration from that, since it involves an evil wolf (same family as dog). I was thinking, how about the wolf is kind and not evil one, and I make the humans as the bad ones. Interesting.
Many inspirations are spinning in my head even Dreamworks Movie (Brave) became my inspiration of setting. Then I decided to make the names all from Greek and the settings were village in the middle of forest. From all of these, with the Hachiko as the main base, I created a new story.

TREATMENT / STORYLINE & STORYBOARD
Shang Jie and Li Hua were brother and sister in Quang Ho Village, playing in the middle of the forest beside the village. In the silence of misty evening, it was a horrible sight of their father who was the headman of the village, Li wen. Shang Jie encountered his death; fell from a cliff far across the lake. He saw a wolf in silhouette from the spot where his son fell down, but only a second before it got away.
I’m Li Hua, Shang Jie’s sister. We were travelling through the forest above the cliff when suddenly we heard footsteps between the plants. In a short time, Shang Jie found that it was a wolf from behind the bush. He freaked out while he steps backward, scared. I was to late to warn him from slipping and my hand was not fast enough to hold him back from falling down the cliff. Surprisingly, the wolf was like trying to reach him. I was not really sure whether it wants to eat him, or save him. The wolf looked down for a bit and it looked at me in the eye then run away in haste, leave me stunned. I just got a feeling that the wolf was trying to save him. If not, why didn’t it attack me? A sad, quilt, and confusion feeling fill up my brain that I could not prevent my tears to come down.
Soon my father found out that Shang Jie was dead. He immediately sent his troops to hunt for that wolf. He asked me to stay in the village, while I was trying to tell him that Shang Jie was not killed by that wolf. I couldn’t stop myself of sneaking and follow him, or else an innocent soul will be died… at the second time. They set many traps around the forest and I was trying to find that wolf.
An hour had past since the troops out to the forest. I was apart already from them, and then I heard like a dog voice in vague. Soon I can see it was that wolf hanging inside the net trap. Hesitate at the beginning; finally I decided to free this creature. Well, I was surprised that wolf just ran away without looking back. I thought I would be dead after that.
Unfortunately, My father saw me freed the wolf and was very angry. He even called me a betrayal. He managed the troops to keep finding the wolf, although it’s dark already and the fog was getting thicker and thicker. 
We walked in silence. Only plants, footsteps, and cicadas are heard. Suddenly we could hear a voice, sounded like a bear. I was realized that there’s a huge bear behind me after my father and the troops were freaked out. It was trying to attack me, but when it’s claws almost on my head, there’s a wolf jump to the bear’s head. They fight and in a short time, more wolves came attack the bear. My dad was stunned and shouted that he found the wolf; he aimed his arrow to the wolves. I tried to stop him, but it’s to late. He released the arrow and hit the wolf. The bear died being attacked by many wolves. One wolf died, I was so sad when I found out in it’s eyes that it was the one who tried to save Shang Jie and saved me from the bear.
Anger and revenge had blind my father. The rest of the wolves were just howling to their leader’s death. My father just realized of what he had done that time.
The scene ended on 8 years later, in the middle of sunny forest. The wolves pack still looking after Li Hua in secret and there’s a spirit who still stay beside her forever. She never knew.
