History: (Summarize as best you can if it's long)
Born in the big open plains, where it was a constant battle for survival. He was a single cub, raised by his mother. A curious and hyper individual when little, at his juvenile state he witnessed his mother killed by poachers. He tried to fight against them but was tranquilized by a dart while he was attempting to save his mother, taking out 2 out of 3 of the poachers in the process, sadly it wasn't enough. The poacher didn't take him because the dart was temporary and after he got the mom's body up in his truck, the juvenile was starting to come around. So he left. When woken up again he tried to follow the scent trail but it wasn't strong enough due to strong winds on the plains blowing off the scent. He ended up being alone, learning to survive and fend for himself. Which has shaped him up to be what he is now, a strong individual, not being curious and hyper anymore because of his experience through his life so far. Now he is careful and quick to not hesitate in signs of trouble. His mother's whereabouts remain unknown to him.

History: KdGalaxy was born the only daughter of the chief (or Kris) and her husband of a small Gypsy clan. Although small, the clan had been around for many centuries and had a rich culture. Kdgalaxy was considered a princess to her people and a light of hope. Her mother, Kris Lunaess named her after a beautiful galaxy which sits in the constellation of Virgo (modern science refers to this Galaxy as NGC 4570). The clans religious beliefs centered around the night sky, they worship the moon and the stars and draw their power from them. KdGalaxy was taught the secrets of magic by her mother. The Gypsy clan had strict rules against using magic in front of "non-Gypsies", so not much is known about what kind of power they really possess. The clan had traveled to the very edges of Gaia but settled in the forests of Bass'ken when KdGalaxy was born, for 15 years they made the forest their home, then the animated began showing up. First in small numbers, which wasn't hard for the warriors to handle. One night over 500 saws invaded their camp. Kris Lunaess forced KdGalaxy to hide in a cave when the attack began. KdGalaxy wanted to stand and fight with her clan but her mother used the power of the moon to move a boulder in front of the opening of the cave. Before closing the cave she whispered to her daughter: "You are the light and hope of our clan, continue living by the stars." Days of blood curling screams and metal screeches echoed around the cave, until one day it went silent. With all her might KdGalaxy used the magic she had learned to shift the boulder just enough for her to squeeze through. The camp was torn to shreds... and her people...
For the next 13 years KdGalaxy traveled the world, alone. Some people tell stories of a witch elf who curses people who come across her. Of course this is not true, KdGalaxy wouldn't hurt anyone (except the animated). She eventually wondered back to Bass'ken Lake and found that many others had been affected by the animated, including other elves, and had begun raging war against them.

Username: .Sakura no Takai.
Character Name (and nicknames): Ariel June Amasa
Age: 27
Sex: female
Species: Werelion
Powers/special abilities: Heightened healing, agility and endurance; Significantly stronger and faster then normal humans.
Trained in the use of various types of offensive weapons, particularly firearms
Experienced in different forms of martial arts, including taekwondo, judo, and jujutsu
Able to shapeshift into a large lioness or hybrid form (like a B-movie wolfman, but a lionwoman) at will, and can transform specific parts of her body (ie- make claws grow on her human hands)
Weaknesses/Shortcomings: Allergic to nuts, chocolate, dogs, and silver. (Chocolates give her hives and dogs make her sneeze. Nuts could kill her if ingested, and silver will burn if it comes in contact with her skin)
As the full moon approaches it becomes increasingly difficult for her to control her temper and human shape.
Shifting from lion to human (or vice versa) unwillingly causes great fatigue
She is severely claustrophobic

Appearance: As a human, she stands about 5'9" and weighs 120lbs. Her eyes are a cloudy gray and are often obscured by her hair, a cascade of blonde that falls to her mid-back. Her hair is naturally straight, but is usually left hanging free so it's often messy.
She is thin and has barely any curves, so she likes to wear tight-fitting clothing to emphasize what she does have. In the week leading up to the full moon she switches to old, baggy attire and usually goes barefoot.
Across the back of her shoulders is a tattoo of a simplified lunar cycle. She has eight piercings along the edge of each ear, usually all occupied by tiny gold hoops.
Her scars include four long claw marks on her left side, from under her breast to her hip, and various faint, shorter criss-crossing laceration scars and large (but still faint) bite marks on both arms.

When in cat form she stands 4' even at the shoulder and is 10'6" long from nose to the tip of her tail, she refuses to be weighed in this state.
Her fur is the same pale gold as her hair, but her eyes brighten to a deep amber.
Religion: Atheist, from a Jewish family
Occupation: Former contract killer, currently works with big cats at a zoo.

Likes: Nighttime, quiet places, small guns and knives, good weather
Dislikes: Green foods, large weapons, being bossed around, amphibians
Personality: A large part of her upbringing involved lessons on acting and masking your real emotions. When she's not acting, Ariel seems very underwhelmed by everything, and comes off as disinterested in anything that doesn't have a direct influence on her life. Due to having little to no contact with people outside her classmates and teachers since she was five years old, she is noticeably more comfortable, and even happy, around her animals and co-workers than around humans.
Sexuality: Heterosexual

History: Ariel is the oldest daughter of a rabbi, having a sister two years younger than her and twin brothers five years younger. Shortly after the twins were born, their mother was attacked by a vampire and turned. Appalled at the creature his wife had become, the rabbi destroyed her, causing himself to fall into manic depression. He decided it was not safe to raise innocent children in a city where such events could occur, but did not wish to leave his congregation. Instead, he sent his infant sons to live with his sister in another state, while the girls were shipped off to a boarding school that boasted an emphasis on "self defense"
Their new home was less of a school than a training facility for young warriors, what Ariel and her friends would later affectionately refer to as "genocide camp", where the students were taught all they needed to know to get a head start in any career that requires country serving, bounty hunting, government spying, or anything similar.

Ariel graduated at eighteen and immediately went to work as an assassin, hired to take are of any problem involving vampires, witches, shapeshifters- anything not human. When she was twenty-two, she slipped up during a job taking out a group of werelions by miscalculating their numbers. Though victorious in slaying most of the pride, she ended up badly mauled, and soon found out she had contracted lycanthropy.

After her discovery, she moved to Africa and lived in a small village comprised of one pride for a few years before a dispute with the Regina drove her to move back to the states. She is currently working at a rather odd zoo in Florida that employs mostly shapeshifters to tend to their animals. She has an apartment a few blocks away from the establishment, but often prefers to sleep with the lions in their enclosure, than by herself in the city.

While she has given up hunting, if someone calls with a severe enough problem and a large enough bribe, she may be convinced to help out.
Avatar(s): (coming soon, just for funsies)
Anything else: She fluently speaks English, French, Russian, and Hebrew.
After returning from Africa, she picked up the habit of smoking cigarettes. She only does so occasionally, to calm herself, and since she started only after becoming a werelion there are no lasting effects on her body.
The zoo she works at is rather odd, in the fact that it employs mostly shapeshifters to look after their respective animals. Since feline-based lycanthropy is rare, Ariel is in charge of all the big cats in the facility.
Though smalltalk makes her uneasy, she gleefully answers questions and spouts facts about the cats she cares for to the guests at the zoo.

As the king's best friend, she occasionally has to wear real fancy clothes and get her hair did by handmaidens, which is very distressing.
