Biography
Early Life
Pam grew up as one of the younger pups of a big family in balmy heart of Miami, third of seven pups to be exact. It was quite chaotic with the busy lives her parents lead, father always away of business and her mother a bit of a small time celebrity it often left her to fill in as a sort of second mom to the younger pups in the family... especially to Jay, the youngest and littlest of her siblings.
Pam, even with having a bulkier frame and a somewhat imposing presence as some might coin it was quite the gentle giant. She along with her oldest brother Damian, always had a decent social life in between playing part time parents for their siblings. Football on the beach was a favorite of Pam's. Often times she'd even bring Jay along, making him feel like one of the cool kids. This made the siblings have a fairly strong bond growing up.
High School
Throughout her teenage years, Pam would begin weight lifting as her varsity career blossomed at offensive guard really getting her footwork down as she went through school. In a way it became a bit of an escape for her...
While on field she blossomed, at home things got rockier and rockier. Tensions over how Jay was treated was causing lots of fights, Pam sometimes finding herself in the crossfire with a mark or two for proof. Less and less available time for friends and social life did take a notable toll on her, but... in protection on her brother... it was worth it. She held her tears back to stay strong for Jay... Only to end up crying on the shoulders of her older siblings Damian and Kayla in addition to her mom... however, no tears in front of Jay... she knew she had to stay strong for his sake.
The inevitable divorce made things both harder and easier... Away from the abuse but now in a new city known as Orlando. However football was the one familiar thing that was still there, even getting her old friends from Miami to come down and watch some of her games. By graduation, it seemed like Pam had returned to that husky yet unsuspectingly bubbly girl in the big frame that seemed to be a bit tucked away. She'd even helped get Jay better into sports which in time would net him a scholarship.
College
Pam herself also caught some eyes from scouts, having a few schools fighting to sign her. However the victor in the end would be Pittsburgh Anthropomorphic as it turned out Jay had gotten an offer from a smaller, division 2 school in the same area. An obvious win-win for the siblings. Throughout the front half of her collegiate career, having Jay nearby was the perfect support system for her. Turns out the pair found out quite a bit in common with their love for good food to start. Seemed she always had a new recipe to try and Jay of course, more than willing to taste and let her know what was good.
Initially Pam never even gave a thought to going pro, Initially thinking she'd just be a collegiate player and go on to be a pro chef among the likes of Jackson Keller, however...between her coaches saying she had the potential for being pro and seeing her little brother Jay go on to be the first international recruit to be drafted first overall in the Furry Australian Football League, it really got her to put her head down and work at her craft in football.
In the latter half of her collegiate career, Pam solidified herself as a sturdy piece to the O-line. Never really standing out in any one area but rather making her biggest strength not having a biggest strength. Respectable blocker in every aspect as well as managing to go without a single sack given up her senior year.
Degree in hand, she knew well what laid ahead... time to go for the UFFL...

Player Survey
How does your player's unique physicality (think species) fit well for the position that they play?
Like her little brother Jay in the FAFL, she's big but she can move. Pam's got a good mixture of bulk with the natural agility that retrievers are known for. She also has an excellent pounce to her for her size, making it more natural for her to dive for fumbles.
What is your player's biggest weakness?
Does need to work on her endurance a bit, possibly getting her body composition in a bit better balance. While she has aggression, she can't just skate by on her bulk forever.
If given the opportunity, would your player want to be formally mentored by another player? Why or why not?
If it's the right player, yes. Pam does like to play her way but.. if said mentor can come with the approach of clean her game up but not make it something it isn't, it'd work out.
