[Personality] Lijas is a bit different. He is timid toward anything and can be seen cowardly when advanced, but he likes to put up a front and act tough in front of Nakoda and friends. He acts tough, and speaks tough, but he can't back it up. His "squeak" is definitely worse than his bite.

[Eyes]
  • Color emerald green
  • Sight Ability Nakoda's eyesight was always very good. But lately her right eye has been giving her troubles. A natural cataract has been forming in it, slightly clouding her eyesight. Although it is mellow, and not to noticeable, it may prove to cause serious damage if not cured.

Bullet; Pink 

Element

Bullet; Pink 

[Element] Dark

[Stamina] 7/10

[Energy Points] 17

[Spells] (Spell descriptions from :devthe-brightest-shadow)
Burst || Any || 3/5 || Description - The user shoots whatever element they possess out of their mouth and/or paws. Only cats experienced with this move can perform with both at the same time.
*Nakoda tends to use this spell the most, as it is the easiest for her to personally perform. She cannot use both at the same time, and generally uses her mouth rather than her paws. She uses this defensively.*
Soul Perception || Dark || 0/5 || Description - When in use, the user can read another cat's personality and mood by seeing the cat's soul's wavelengths. Most commonly used by psychics, but can be used by dark elementals.
*This talent is among her favorite to use. She is very nosey and finds others and their feelings very interesting. She doesn't want to cause problems, but she is curious and is constantly looking to see what others are feeling/ what moods they are in. Lijas usually has to scold her to get her to stop* 
Teleportation || Dark || 1/5 || Description - Allows the user to disappear from one place and reappear in another. When first starting off, most cats can only reappear in places they can see, but more experienced cats can teleport to places they have been before (if they can clearly remember what it looked like, and how to get there if they were to walk).
*Nakoda tends to give this stone to Lijas to hold. She always forgets its there. Lijas only wears it when the go exploring together though, so he can remind Nakoda to wear it. It tends to be useful when exploring*
Blinding Darkness || Dark || 2/5 || Description - The opponent of the user becomes blinded as blackness surrounds their eyes temporarily. This can cause temporary insanity (as in rash decision making and such).
*Her second move used for defense. This is one reason she hates being dark. She tends to use this when extremely scared, and it does tend to make the other cat go insane. She hates to know that she does that to another cat, but when she is scared she does it in reaction*

Choke || Dark || 3/5 || Description - Releases a thick cloud of black smoke from the user’s mouth and/or nostrils, choking anyone nearby. It weakens the opponent(s) and renders them unable to breathe for a few short moments.
*She doesn't like to use this unless its self defense, but she has had to a few times, and will use it if necessary.
Forget Me Not || Dark || 3/5 || Description - In a mass of consuming darkness, a cat’s eyes turn black as this spell wipes a short period of time from the cat’s memory. The user can choose any memory to erase, though it is more difficult to find if the memory they are looking to erase didn’t happen recently. If used incorrectly, this can result in the cat completely forgetting any kind of relationship they had with the user.
*This strategy is one she hates using. She knows she isn't that powerful and that the chance of harming their memories is higher. Although, she does try to use it to help cats forget bad memories and such. She also used it once when she was more than angry and used it to swipe a memory of her clean out of a certain cat's brain. She tries to avoid use of this*



Bullet; Yellow 

Personality

Bullet; Yellow 

Clumsy // Overly Optimistic // Adventurous // Stubborn // Romantic // Serious // Naive // Uncertain

  • Clumsy - Thanks to her not-so-graceful habits, her long legs she has yet to grow into, and her long vines draping from her tail, she has developed a clumsy personality. She is a bit awkward and tends to trip, fall, break things, and get hurt a lot. Sometimes her clumsiness can cause her to. accidentally hurt others (not serious injuries)
  • Overly Optimistic- Nakoda went through a lot at a younger age. Things that could have changed her drastically. But thanks to her mentor, she was able to retain a positive attitude an scan always see the silver lining. Sometimes there are moments when sadness will sweep over her face, but it will pass almost instantly and she will find some reason to be laughing or smiling. This is occasionally bad because she isn't sad in moments where she probably should be.
  • Adventurous - Much like any Searcher should be she is very adventurous. She loves getting out, traveling, exploring and this is all why she makes an excellent searcher. When she is with close friends like Lijas, she will convince them to adventure and explore with her. She is never scared to explore new places, even if they are dangerous. She loves to adventure to high places like mountains and cliffs.
  • Stubborn -  Nakoda is thick headed. Once she makes up her mind about something you, you most likely won't get her to change it. She sets it in her head that it needs to be this way, and does not change from that path. She is so stubborn, in spats and arguments, she has to be right (this is very annoying, so its good she doesn't get in quarrels often). She doesn't know the saying "Nothing is set in stone."
  • Romantic - Nakoda wants nothing more but to have someone love her. Its almost like a dream to find a true love. She is easily wooed by romantic acts and dates (picnics, candlelight dinners in the woods, cuddly stuff, and kissing etc.) She can easily fall for someone and because she is fickle she even falls in love with a few at once. Its a bad habit that leads her down bumpy roads. Although, it also makes her open up a little more and more and makes her good at planning dates and stuff! 
  • Serious - Nakoda has a love and desire for her role in the Regions. When it comes down to Searching, it is all she cares about. Her and Lijas spend countless hours searching (And generally turning up empty handed). Nontheless she has a desire to do it to the best of her abilities. If she sees others messing around during the time to search she will scold them and get very mad. In her eyes there is no time to joke when they are searching, and if you have free time go search. This gives her almost no time to make friends.
  • Naive - Nakoda is so naive. She is easily swayed and it doesn't take much for her to be convinced to do something. She doesn't really begin to open up or get close to another cat but it is relatively easy to earn her trust, (then again its easy to lose it to because she is so fickle). This causes her to fall in love easy or be swayed into doing things she normally would never do.
  • Uncertain - Nakoda was given a dark element. As a young kit this didn't mean much to her, she was merely excited she finally got her spot. Now upon being a dark elemental she learned that cats looked down on her, everywhere she went. She built up a wall and pretended to be happy though it all, but deep down inside she feels she doesn't belong where she is. She feels much more like an outcast. Her heart is filled with uncertainty and hidden by Optimism.

Bullet; Yellow 

Relationships

Bullet; Yellow 

[Sexuality]
  • Sexuality bisexual
    • Nakoda thinks that there is something cute in everyone, because she looks up to anyone and everyone. She leans more for toms than she-cats, but that doesn't mean much.
  • Preferences
    • She wants a partner who will love her, her dark element, her flaws and all. She just wants acceptance 
  • Sexual Activity virgin
  • Current Love Interest none
  • Past love interests none
  • Mate none
  • Kits none

Nikita (Nih-key-tuh)Bullet; Orange || Bullet; Red  || Bullet; Purple Bullet; Purple || Bullet; GreenBullet; Green Nakoda loved her mother very very much. She respected her more than anyone in the world and was always so close to her. She was a hunter, and was a naturalist elementalist. Nakoda was never quite the same after her mother died.

Dirone (Die-Row-n)Bullet; Orange ||Bullet; White||Bullet; Black Nakoda and her father never really saw eye to eye. He was a dark elemental and a Warrior. After her mother's death her father seemed to have a deepened dislike for her. He was the one person Nakoda ever used "Forget me not" on and swiped his memory of her. She has no connection to him and has no idea where he currently resides

Xerxes  Bullet; Red ||Bullet; Pink || Bullet; GreenBullet; Green ||Bullet; Purple  Xerxes was Nakoda's best friend, and was like a secret lover to her. He lived in no tribe (to her knowledge) and she knew him as a child. They constantly played together and ran around and snuck about together, adventuring to areas she was forbidden to go. After Xerxes stopped visiting her randomly, she presumed he had died. Although it isn't proven he is dead, she only assumes it. Still believe he is dead, but Xerxes is in fact alive and is living as an Exile.

Koron Bullet; Yellow || Bullet; Red || Bullet; GreenBullet; Green || Bullet; PurpleBullet; Purple  Koron was an elderly Tom who trained her as a Rookie. The two became very close and he began to care for her like a Grandpa. He was the one person she always confided in and looked up to. If it wasn't for him she never would have become a searcher. He died, after a long life, peacefully in his sleep.

Diablo Bullet; Pink || Bullet; GreenBullet; Green || Bullet; PurpleBullet; Purple Nakoda was nervous when she first met the tom. But after talking about their elements for a while the two became friends. Nakoda is always giddy when she sees Diablo, and has developed a large crush on him. When she was exiled for the clan mission, the saddest thing to her, was not being able to see him, or say goodbye. She is determined to return home again to see him at least once more.

History

Bullet; Yellow 


[Before Birth]
    There was once a beautiful She-cat, of a grey, slightly dirty, fluffy coat who was a searcher. She loved seeing places and learning. She was constantly searching for the shards and one day they led her to her greatest discovery.
    At this same time there was a buff, strong, daring warrior tom. He was handsome and not to bad with the ladies. One faithful day he was patrolling in the south. It was the one patrol he would never forget.
    The beautiful she-cat named  Nikita had ventured to far from her home. Her feet had kept her traveling over rocks, hills and had taken her so far she was getting lost. She was getting so exhausted, she didn't feel she was going to be able to find a nearby place for shelter. Her body began to become weak and finally she collapsed. The tom had been walking near the area of this she-cat and he was shocked to stumble upon her. Worried she was from the south, his homeland, he got her to the position to carry her and brought her to his home. He was shocked to later discover she was in fact an outsider. When the She-cat awoke she nearly jumped out of her skin seeing the larger cat standing, hovering, above her. He questioned her, as it was his job. She explain that she didn't know why she kept walking, she was hunting for the clan, and wandered farther than she meant to. When it got late she tried to find somewhere to rest but was unfamiliar with the area. She was young and reckless, much like the Guard. So all was forgiven.
    Well, after she had healed it was time for her to head home. The Tom, named Dirone, was worried about the she-cat's ability to get home. He clearly saw she was a rather frail creature. He couldn't stand the thought of letting her travel back alone. So he asked to be allowed to escort her, and surprisingly it was allowed. 
    The trip seemed long, but as time passed the two seemed to be getting closer and closer, and neither really wanted to go back. So instead they camped for a few weeks in the land between the East and the South. Now in this time the two discovered their love was true, and they began coming up with ideas for how they could stay together. Through these weeks of planning and such, the two became very "passionate".
    Finally they knew it was time to return to their homes, and that any plan would in the end not work. She was dropped off in the East and she sadly waved goodbye as he returned South. 
    Time passed, and he convinced himself that their love was childish, and even though he never stopped loving her he also convinced himself being away form her and remaining a bachelor was the best decision ever. (And the She-cats around him would agree with that). Nikita on the other hand, loved him, and had only been with him. She knew the love was true and each day she hoped he would return, because he was what she thought was her greatest discovery.
    Months later, Nikita gave birth to a kit, and news was sent to the South. Dirone was forced to go to the east to care for the kit (he wasn't actually forced he was just grumpy and went because he knew it was the right thing to do. He was to stubborn to admit it though).


[Kithood]
    
Nikita gave birth to a three kits. However, Nikita was still a bit to young. Her body wasn't able to support them all. Because of this she had one still born baby and the others were very sick. The healers tried to care for the two young. But one died, and the other was only expected to live a few days. Nikita was crushed, and even Dirone was sad. Then, days turned into weeks, and the only Surviving kit began to become healthier and healthier each day. Unlike Nikita the kit had dark fur (although that was the only similarity between her and Dirone). Nikita cared deeply for her only surviving kit, because she was afraid she could lose her baby at any given time. She spent more time with the kit, whom she named Nakoda, than she did with Dirone or anyone for that matter. Dirone during this time took to wooing other She-cats. He was very flirtatious and kissy kissy. Although he never fully cheated on Nikita. With Nakoda getting older, Nikita loathed that Dirone was never around. One day she confronted Dirone directly. She freaked out, moons of trapped emotions poured out. Eventually the yelling slowed, and Nikita became more upset. She began to walk away with tears forming in her eyes when Dirone stopped her. He gazed into her eyes, tears now leaking out, and he remembered that he loved her.
    After that he began to spend all his time with Nikita, slowly starting to acknowledge Nakoda's existence. He began to hope Nakoda would take after him so that he could finally have a connection with his child. However, Nakoda was the child he never wanted, and he was already having a head time getting to know her.


[Rookieship] 
    When Nakoda was getting close to the age, Nikita would check her paws to see if there was a colored spot anywhere. For a while nothing was showing up, so of course the young cat became nervous. Nikita would chuckle and tell her daughter that the spot would come, no matter what. Just like Nikita said, one day a faint spot appeared. Nikita was checking Nakoda for her spot when she told her she needed a bath. Nakoda was dragged off to be washed. Nikita scrubbed her clean and began to clean her paws. One of the paws had a hardly noticeable mark on it. Nikita, thinking it mud because of it's color, scrubbed long and hard to get it off. When she finally gave it a closer look, her eyes were filled with horror, shock, and excitement. There sat the spot that would define her life, the spot that would guide her to her future role in the Region. It was a dark, deep hue of purple. She was so excited, she didn't know the elements that well, and had no clue what a purple spot meant. When she learned what it meant, things changed.
    Dark elementalist where looked down upon. It seemed to be more of a curse than a gift, and the social norm was rather against the idea of it. Her own dad was a little spiteful toward her, even after getting so close to him. Finding someone to train her was hard too. Dark was rare, so there wasn't many near that where able to train her. Eventually her mother found an elder named Koron who was gifted with the dark elements. And after days of begging he agreed to train her.
    Koron was old so he couldn't train as often as both him and Nakoda would have liked. But, they made due. Nakoda ended up growing very close to Koron, he was much like an uncle or grandfather figure. He trained her abilities, and she followed in his footsteps of being a searcher. 
    
    Nakoda had lots of free time when her and Koron weren't training. Her mother was busy until a certain time, and her dad made himself busy until Nikita wasn't busy. She had to find other ways to entertain herself. It was during these times that Nakoda would slip off and venture away from the willow tree she called home. During one "Adventure" she met a tom near her age. They played together and she came and saw him the same time nearly everyday. She told Koron about her adventures and he kept it a secret for her. Nakoda began to develop a childhood crush on him. And she thought he felt the same. Then one day, out of the blue, he stood her up. And it continued like that for 2 weeks. Nakoda got down in the dumps. She didn't like not having her closest friend. Finally Koron came to her one day that he overheard her crying to herself. He knew how the tom, Xerxes , had become a random no-show. He knew he needed to tell her why he thought the youngster never came back. Quietly they talked and her told her, seeing as he was from an unknown region he wasn't suppose to be in other regions, and he assumed that he had met an unfortunate and fatal destiny at the hands of Mother Nature. She sobbed for hours after, but she was able to come to terms with it. She never really let go, and goes to their spot if she gets a chance.


[Death and a friend]
    
  Nikita was always busy, out and about. She was a hunter, and wanted to make sure she was always catching enough for the Region. It was on one of these hunts that she caught a bird. After hunting it and other prey, she had gotten a disease (birds are known carriers of disease). Her blood became contaminated with a virus because she had eaten that infected bird (its blood being contaminated). She didn't realize she was sick, until about 2 months before her life was going to end. When she figured it out, she worked less, moved about less, and spent as much time as possible with Nakoda.
    Nakoda was oblivious to the sickness but she knew something was wrong, so did Dione. Finally she died. Nakoda was with her, and it scarred her. She always hated knowing that she couldn't help, even though Nikita knew it was the end and was ready to go. Dione, he hated himself for not being there, and took it out on Nakoda constantly. 

After her mom passed Nakoda became lost, not even Koron could help her. She spend days away from training and laid and just thought about everything. She over thank it all too. She lost Xerxes and now.. her mother. She wasn't able to cope, and Koron was fearful that dark spirits would soon go to take over her.

Things were looking worse than gloomy. All hope seemed lost... Until a funny little Pika bumped into her. He scared her, which scared him. He noticed her tears and tried to cheer her up, but she scared him off. Well the cute little pika wasn't convinced. He noticed the crying cat everyday, and continuously advanced her. Eventually a friendship was formed after Nakoda spilled her heart out to him. He became her companion and followed her around. He was soon to become all she had.


[Becoming a Searcher]
    Nakoda left the life of sadness. She was restored and finally was able to continue working to become a full fledge Searcher. This day was the greatest in her life. She began to care for Koron, who's age was quickly catching up to him. And she was able to go do useful things for the region, making use of this hideous power of hers. She was happy, and that was how she coped with everything. Of course, Lijas was always there if she began to lose herself. 
    
    Dirone on the other hand, continued his verbal abuse, and was so mad to see it never working on her. She ignored him and practiced and earned her power stones. Dirone, he was such an unhappy Tom. He was filled with regret, and envy and hate. Dark spirits were rumored to follow him around, waiting for the day they could finally infest him. That day nearly happened. Dirone finally went in for a physical attack  on Nakoda. And a fight ensued. After screaming and yelling, Dirone finally was able to bruise her on the inside. An insult saying her dark abilities are why everyone she loves dies. With tears in her eyes, she uses her ability "Forget Me Not". She wants to erase the last memories of her mother's death, but she begins to overthink and tears well up in her eyes. Suddenly her concentration is lost, and she breaks down in tears. Since she is in the middle of erasing memories, a chunk is swiped clean from him. She knows what she did. She knows she messed the spell up and that now he hasn't just forgotten her mother, but a whole half of his life. Its then that Koron steps out of the shadows, eyes wide with bewilderment. He and her carried Dirone to the land between the East and the South and left him to pick up from wherever his memories last left off. She never forgot this horrible thing she did, but it remained only her and Koron's secret.

    Months after this incident she began to near the end of her Rookieship. It was finally time for her to complete it. She had learned all about finding and collecting the stones., and she took the oath. Koron had never been so proud, and Nakoda had never felt so accomplished. It was 3 days later that Koron finally passed away from his old age. But he had told her that now that he had got to see her be a searcher he was finally ready to let go. She was sad, but knew she must stay happy because this is what Koron wanted. He taught her to never dwell over death.


[Searcher]
    Now that she was a full fledged searcher she set off with Lijas to begin looking for stones. Of course she constantly going from her home in the hollow to wherever in the East her searching instinct led her. She knew that the spirits of Koron, Xerxes, and her mother would guide her. And she never felt alone ever again. 
    She is determined to help bring the Sacred stone pieces together, and stop the evil from getting it.


[Exile]
    Due to a vision by her leader, Nakoda was exiled and sent on a mission with 3 others. A follower attack soon fell on the 4 unsuspecting cats. This killed off their leader in exile. Nakoda is uncertain about this whole mission and is trying to be confident. She edited her paint to seem more mature. Her hair has grown out on her head, legs, and tail.
    She desires to return to her home so she may be reunited with her friends and so she may see Diablo again, as she has developed feelings, unbeknownst to him.



                                                                                                                                                 Bullet; Yellow

Roleplay Sample

Bullet; Yellow 

    "Nakodaaaaa," the tired pika whined, "Can we just stop to rest for a while. We have been traveling since sunrise, and look the sun can't even be seen!" Nakoda rolled her eyes and shook her head. She wasn't ready to stop, they hadn't gotten as far as she wanted, and she didn't even feel slightly tired. "Look Lijas, if you are that tired go sleep in my pouch. We haven't had that productive of a day, so there isn't any rocks in it," she grunted to her tiny companion. He shrugged his shoulders and scurried from the soft fur on her back to the pouch where he laid to sleep.
    Nakoda continued walking for hours. Her body didn't seem to want to slow down, but they were nearing a very dense area east of their camp. She was beginning to decide to make camp when her ears perked up as if they heard a sound, yet not even a cricket chirped. Her heart beat like the pounding of a group of drums. She whipped her head back around toward the dense area, easily seeable in front of her. She knew it was in there, she could feel it, a piece of the stone was definitely beyond the brush. She debated going through, as it was dark. But she became fearful that if she didn't get to it a Follower might. Going against her brain, she braced herself and began to embark through the brush. After getting about 5 feet in, she learned about the thorns embedded in the brush, and she learned the hard way. She kept going nonetheless and thorns began to dig into her. She winced at the pain, but she clenched her teeth and bushed through. 
    "Damn, too bad Lijas wasn't awake to talk me out of this," she thought to herself, "this better be worth it!" Shortly after thinking it, she was able to push her way out of the brush. She found herself in a large flat meadow. It was then that Lijas poked his head out of the sack, his sleepy eyes widened quickly. "Wow...." they both said. She began to aimlessly walk around as Lijas went on and on about how beautiful this place was. As if guided by an invisible force, she walked to a patch in the meadow that seemed uninhabited by any grass sat a shard of the stone. "I... I did it.. I found a piece!" she said both shocked and excited. She bounced up and down in excitement. 
    "Now, just to get pack through that mess of brush and thorns..."
