Appearance
♣ [ Breed ]: Moggy
♣ [ Description ]:
Described by others as a very sweet-looking, cute cat, Yuki is a french-gray tabby, though most of her pelt is cloaked by heavy white-spotting. However, the parts of her that are white are mottled by spots ranging in size from miniscule to one or two which are bigger than her nose. Her facial features are very rounded and innocent looking, her light blue round and large eyes usually being the first thing to be noticed upon first meeting her. She has relatively small ears with a few patches of fur sitting atop them like antennae. Of course, Yuki wouldn't be Yuki without her excessive fur. It is unclear whether she is slim, chubby or muscly because of the mass of fur covering her entire body, especially her neck, giving her a makeshift mane. Overall, Yuki's appearance directly contrasts her personality. She appears to be a very gentle, meek and innocent she-cat, while in reality she is all but that.
♣ [ Height ]: Smaller than average
♣ [ Weight ]: Around average, though most of it is made up of muscle
♣ [ Eye ]: Large and round, colored with a light grayish-blue
♣ [ Fur ; Length ]: Very long and fluffy. Surprisingly well-kept, however.
♣ [ Other]: Heart shaped eyebrows and ear tufts. She also has one iron leg cuff with three chalcedony gems in it, as well as a silver earring with precisely three chains hanging from it. She got these from Quinn when she was little. Quinn inherrited them from her grandfather, who was part of the tribes.

Personal
♣ [ Personality ]:
“That just seems like the logical thing to do."
+- [ pragmatic ]: dealing with things sensibly and realistically in a way that is based on practical rather than theoretical considerations.
Yuki's way of dealing with issues may seem very odd for such a young apprentice, often being associated with wise yet irritable elders, not young cats. While others may be focused on superlatives, such as being the strongest soldier or the smartest scholar, Yuki simply focuses on improving herself and being comfortable whilst doing it. Her view of life is very much so grounded in reality, and she is aware that sometimes she'll have to settle or sacrifice things to get what she ultimately wants. Moreover, she prefers things to be very linear and straight forward. To her, she will always pick the solution which has the least theories and what-if's surrounding it. To every problem, there is a clear and simple solution to her.
“Frankly, your technique could use a few touch-ups."
+ [ honest ]: free of deceit; truthful and sincere.
Lies and fraud are percieved by Yuki to just be a waste of time. Over time, she's learned that every lie will eventually fall apart and the truth will always come out, no matter how much you wish for it not to or try to cover it up. Therefore, what's the point of lying? Her words are almost always the truth, but this does not mean she is blunt. If not asked for her opinion, she will not express it. Her candid nature will be percieved as a wonderful thing to some, and as a childish and quite rude thing to others. Really, it all depends on whether the cat recieving her truth bombs is easily offended or not.
“You want to take this outside?"
- [ violent ]: using or involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something.
It's not that Yuki is some cold-hearted murderer who just wants to hurt people, but fighting brings her a lot of pleasure and friendly tussles are the most fun thing in the world to her. In her past, being feirce was a requirement for survival, and while it may not be at the moment, it still feels like it sometimes to her. She won't randomly attack her tribe-mates just to have some fun, but if confronted by an aggressive cat, she's not above picking a fight or two. Moreover, Yuki isn't a weak, yet reckless idiot looking to pick fights to numb her boredom. Whilst she is rather small, her lack of strength is made up for by her agility, ability to assess a situation well and her rather suprising affinity towards her powers. When she fights someone, she won't hold back.
“Look, no matter what happens, I won't betray you."
+ [ loyal ]: giving or showing firm and constant support or allegiance to a person or institution.
Yuki is a lot of things, but a traitor definitely isn't one of them. She's picky with those she trusts and are closest to her, so if you manage to somehow wiggle your way into her inner circle of friends, expect to be treated well. Whether she will hold your needs before hers depends on how much she cares for you, but definitely expect her to be there for you if you need any help. Moreover, Yuki is a great secret keeper. If a secret is told to her, it will never get out unless Yuki wants it to. Breaking her no-lying policy is something that she is willing to do for someone she cares about.
“No, we're doing it like this and that's final."
- [ stubborn ]: having or showing dogged determination not to change one's attitude or position on something, especially in spite of good reasons to do so.
It's fair to say that Yuki isn't an insecure cat, and in fact has a bit of an ego. This leads to her truly believing that she is in the right around 90% of the time, and she will fight for that notion. Once she's intent on an idea or a plan, it's next to impossible to change her mind about it. Give her all the evidence that goes against what she believes in, and she will stll refuse to change her mind. And if you do attempt the impossible, do expect to be met with a few snide remarks about your general intelligence. Furthermore, she rarely second guesses herself and has a bit of trouble admitting she was in the wrong. If everything goes horribly wrong because of a decision she made, she will refuse to acknowledge it.
"Mmm, whatever. I'll do it eventually."
+- [ laid-back ]: relaxed and easy-going.
A quick glance at Yuki will be enough to determine that she's a rather calm cat, one who doesn't try to stick their nose where it doesn't belong and who prefers to lay back and relax rather than run and jump around. She tries to keep her voice at a low, almost monotone tone at all times and it amplifies her aura of easy-goingness. Her easy-going nature hasn't grown into laziness yet, however. She will do any task that she's given, and attemp to complete it in a quick, straight-forward fashion. Moreover, Yuki doesn't really bother herself with becoming anything special. As mentioned before, she isn't one of those buoyant, wide-eyed kittens who wants to grow up and be the best of the best! No, in fact, she's never really been interested in anything in particular. To her, she trains for the sake of training and to keep her from dying of boredom. This lack of ambition may perhaps be her downfall one day, but only time will tell.

Trivia ♣
* if she doesn't like your name or thinks it's too long or complicated, she will shorten it or just come up with a random nickname. she did it to herself, and just introduces herself as Yuki instead of Yuki-Onna
* In humandrix, she is a short, pale as snow girl with long, fluffy dark ombre hair. She also has freckles, light blue eyes and dresses mostly in black.
* She's my first character without green eyes, and overall my third character in tgb.
* If you piss her off, she's not gonna get physical with you. So, if your character gets in a fight with her, Yuki probably has nothing against them. When she does get angry at someone, she won't fight them because she won't be able to hold herself back and either of the cats will probably die. So, when she gets angry - she just raises her voice. She fights for fun, not to get revenge.
* I love her so much.
* She hates her fur because of how hot it makes her, and she wishes she could cut it off.
* Her voice is Kalluto from Hunter x Hunter! (www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdSry0… )
Likes:
* Swimming (especially on hot days)
* Winter, snow, windy days and rain
* Sparring, fighting in general
* Smell of blood (she's a bit of a weirdo)
* White flowers, especially calla lillies
* Bats!!!Dislikes:
* Hot weather
* Her fur
* Cats who are overly positive and constantly screaming
* Complicated names
* Being touched without permission

Background
♣ [ History ]:
WARNING! Contains starvation, gore/violence and swearing
[ I. Scarlet Flame ]
Autumn had slowly been settling into the lands of Nandryx, filling the air with a scent of decay and rain and turning the leaves on every tree in the land into shades of amber and red. Under one of those various, flame-like trees, were carefully placed town two young, almost infant kittens. Their hungry mews alerted any nearby cats to their present, and it just so happens that a young, barely adult she-cat going by the name of Quinn heard their cries and responded by rushing over to them. Her scarlet eyes scrutinized the area, checking for any sign of the kittens' parents. Her nose never worked harder to find the scent of other cats, but ultimately found nothing. "Rory is going to kill me." She thought. A sigh left her dark-colored muzzle as she picked up the two kittens by their neck scruffs. They both weighed very little, even for such small kittens. All the more reason to help them grow up.
"What the fuck is that?!" A rough, boyish voice growled at Quinn. The voice belonged to Rory, Quinn's older brother and leader of her little group of rouges. A spark of fear flashed in Quinn's eyes, though the spark quickly turned into determination. While initially, her drive to protect the kittens was merely a product of her hidden motherly nature, now it turned into a contest to see whether she or Rory will break first. "Kittens. I found them." A smirk appeared on her face. "I'm keeping them." Rory's lips curled into a growl, his claws unsheathing. Despite this, Quinn remained as stoic as a rock. "The white one is Bishop. The Brown one is Hisoka." She proudly exclaimed. Perhaps it wasn't the smartest idea to keep this guys around considering the soon to come Winter and lack of food it will bring, but Quinn, rather childlishly, refuses to bow down to her leader. Rory always held a grudge against Quinn for being a favorite amongst their parents, but now he's the boss. It would be too easy to just refuse her to keep the kittens. No, he's gonna make her suffer and starve. Oh, how his parents would have been proud to see him now! "Alright. But from now on, you aren't allowed to eat food hunted by me, Lepouf, Doc or Lupine. And you hunt for the two runts as well, until they're old enough to hunt for themselves. Train them as soon as they can stand properly, since they might prove useful hunters to m-" He abruptly stopped himself, correcting his words in time. "-us." Quinn's tail began to subtly twitch, and her ear flicked once or twice. Rory was spiteful and arrogant, but he wasn't an idiot. He carefully planned ahead, forseeing that Quinn will only be nourished enough to raise the kittens for a few more moons until she starves or dies off by being weak. She would last long enough to raise two young hunters for Rory, and then pass away. Three mouths to feed isn't as simple a task as one might think. Quinn's mother is the perfect example, having passed away shortly after she and Rory reached the age of 7 moons. Despite this, Quinn isn't one to refuse a challenge. "It's on, Rory."[ II. Extinguish The Fire ]
A Few moons, specifically five, had passed since Quinn's rather foolish decision to raise the two kittens she had found abandoned under a tree. While she knew it would not have been an easy task when making a decision, she'd never think that it would prove to be this much of a challange. The kits themselves were doing rather well, growing up at a normal and steady pace while still developing their hunting and fighting skills quicker than usual. The price for the kittens's health, however, was Quinn's. Skeletal would be a good word to describe her outwardly appearance. Her face was very slim, and bones were visible from various points of her body. While she truly did believe that she could have done this six moons ago, she started having her doubts.
The kits were finally old and adept enough to start hunting for themselves, and Quinn couldn't have been more proud. Bishop proved to be a very quick and agile cat, while Hisoka possessed very unusual strength. As a token of their gratitude to Quinn, they ocassionally gave her the prey they caught. Things were looking up, but they weren't going to remain so serene if Rory interferred and, in fact, he had been growing quite angry at the thought of his plan not working. One decievingly peacful night, Rory snuck into the hollowed out tree stump were Quinn, Bishop and Hisoka had been sleeping. His cold, piercing gaze dissected the three sleeping cats, quickly coming to a conclusion. "Quinn must die." The sharp, talon like claws of his right paw quickly sunk into Quinn's sleeping body, while his left paw was held over her muzzle as to prevent her from screaming and alarming the rest of the group. Her heartbeat dissappeared almost immediately. The scarlet flame in her eyes had been extinguished, and along with it, so were the flares of hope held by Bishop and Hisoka. Or were they?
Hisoka had awoken first, but his sister was woken up just a few moments later by his peircing screech. "Quinn!" They yelled out simultaneously. Their mentor, and in big part their mother, was laying besides them, dead. One tear-filled glance at each other was enough to confirm they were both thinking the same thing. Rory did this, and revenge needed to be served. Hisoka and Bishop got up, slowly padding over to Rory's den. He was expecting them both to come to him, maybe even attack him. His tail swung back and forth in anticipation. Will Bishop or Hisoka attack first? But, something weird is happening. They're both just standing there. Bishop opened her mouth, but words couldn't come out. After a few moments of hesitation, she managed to cry out the followin words: "You're a monster, Rory!" As his name left her mouth, the young cat hastily turned around and ran away from everything. Hisoka followed a few moments later, and they finally stopped running when they reached a tree stump. "Have you calmed down yet?" Hisoka asked. "Are you fucking kidding me?" Bishop spat out, practically snarling at this point. "Look, we can't get revenge on Rory if you're not fucking calm. I was gonna attack him, having you as my backup but you just ran away like an idiot!" Bishop let out a 'tch' sound, turning around. "I'm done with Rory, Hisoka." She sighed, having calmed down a tiny amount. "I'm gonna try to find somewhere to live. Maybe... maybe find some other cats who made a... clan... or gang. Or whatever we were living in." Hisoka looked at her with eyes filled with sadness. This was goodbye. He turned around, not being able to look at his sister in the eye. "I need to go get revenge on Rory. Let's find each other one day, okay?" Bishop nodded, forcing a smile onto her face. After everything that happened, that smile might have been the hardest thing to make."Let's."
[ III. ]
It didn't take long for Bishop to stumble upon lands filled with the scent of other felines, and it took even shorter for her to spot the first cats. They all had weird, weirdly colored markings on various places of their body. For the following few days, she just explored the new territory she stumbled upon, and eventually came across weird, totem-like structures in the middle of seemingly, nowhere. This doesn't happen every day, so naturally Bishop took it upon herself to inspect the totems. She brought her nose towards one of them and a weird, tingling sensation suddenly appeared in her shoulder. She quickly jumped back, looking at her shoulder and carefully inspecting it. A black... tattoo? What!? This... this isn't logical at all! It wasn't there a couple of minutes ago... or was it? Now she's questioning herself. Is she going crazy? No, no... she saw this before. On the cats roaming the land surrounding her. They gotta know more, yeah.
A couple of hours later, she came across a group of cats who seemed rather friendly. They carefully instructed her to head north-east, and so she did. Soon she stumbled upon Water-tribe, the tribe whose tattoo she now beared. A few conversations and one ceremony later, and Bishop found herself living amongst this strange group of cats- even getting another name. Yuki-Onna. She decided it was too long, so now she goes by Yuki. Yuki, the Water tribe apprentice.*

Roleplay
♣ [ RP Examples ]: Daffodil: The kit glanced down at his front legs, observing them. "I'm not good at running or jumping either! I have shorty-short legs, like a tree stump, so i also fall a bunch!" He exclaimed, remembering the time that he was playing tag with his siblings, and stumbled onto a larger cat who looked pretty annoyed. The cat scolded him, so he burst into tears as per usual. His ears perked up at the mention of swimming. "My mommy swims a whole lot! She and my sibs are from water-tribe, so we all swim like... a lot! If we want to get out of camp, we have to swim like fishies!!" He let out a small gasp. Swimming wasn't something that he hated, in fact, he rather enjoyed it! Crossing rivers and streams was always entertaining to him, but Ezrael's lake always makes him terrified. It's so big!! You can't even see the other side! Is there even an other side? "Oh! Yeah! Your eyes are also kind of like a leaf! But, like..." Daffodil paused, glancing up in thought. "..not as yellow-y as a leaf. Kind of blue-green, but a whole lot more green." He struggled to explain himself, awkwardly stumbling over his words.
Daffodil carefully listened, his small jaw faintly opened in awe. Her family is all over the place! Void-tribe, Light-tribe, Water-tribe... and her siblings are all probably gonna go to different tribes too! The thought of that reminded Daffy about his siblings, and how they're all gonna be separated soon. Oh no, what if some of them go to Shadow-tribe? They're gonna get hurt! Or what if they all go to tribes that are soooo far apart, how will they see each other everyday? Tilting his head at the mention of a silver tattoo, Daffodil abruptly asked a question. "Silver tattoo? What's a silver tattoo? Is it special? Can you and I have silver tattoos?" Daffodil inquired. He also had a question about her mentioning that Kana is gone, but concluded that it may be impolite to ask.
"Which tribe do you wanna go to?" He suddenly asked Wooly. Personally, he would be content with any tribe but Shadow, but a few did intrigue him over the rest. Water tribe was his favorite at the moment, and if he was sent there, he would have his momma there! Maybe even another one of his siblings. It would be really awesome if they were all meant to stay in Water tribe!
