Welcome to Gaia! ::

The snow leopard is majestic, solitary, cat that makes its home in a winter wonderland. They have long thick fur with base colors that vary from smoky grey to yellowish tan, with whitish underparts. They have dark grey to black open rosettes on their body with small spots of the same color on their heads and larger spots on their legs and tail. Unusually among cats, their eyes are pale green or grey in colour.

Snow leopards have evolved to minimize heat loss. They distribute their weight on their large feet to make it easier to walk on snow. Snow leopards' tails are long and flexible, helping them to maintain their balance. The tails are also very thickly covered with fur which, apart from minimizing heat loss, allows them to be used like a blanket to protect their faces when asleep.

Snow leopard vocalizations include hisses, chuffing, mews, growls, and wailing.

Name: Sable

Gender: Male

Age: 23

Occupation: n/a

Personality: Sable is a compassionate, caring man. He's very reasonable in handling problems. Unless he is asked very nicely and given puppy-dog eyes. Then he's totally helpless.

While Sable cannot say not when kindly asked to do something, he has no such difficulties denying Chione. It's just not in her personality to ask, she'll demand. Her imperious nature is strange and foriegn to Sable. He doesn't understand her but is trying to.

Part of Sable's effort to understand and improve relationships with Chione is his willingness to work with her. However, he sometimes worries about his methods in teaching the child. He believes that it will be worthwhile in the end though. Sable tries to alter the way Chione treats people and tasks by appealing to her inner hunter. Starting with simple things around the house, Sable plans to expand beyond that if Chione shows improvement. For starters, Sable is teaching Chione is cook. "What kind of majestic hunter cannot prepare her own food?" he asked her which offended her pride so greatly she took part in Sable's training. He wanted to use the term "hunt" but thought it would fit better when he takes her shopping for the actual food. He is anticipating enough trouble with that one.

Chione responded well to picking up after herself when Sable asked what kind of self-respecting hunter (who, in turn, demands the respect from others) would leave her domain filthy. The child's pride couldn't let her do otherwise after that.

History: Sable is an only child from a small town. His parents doted on him but were firm in teaching him virtues such as kindness, patience, and understanding. Sable took these lessons to heart.

Dust Personality; I like it a lot. The only thing that really bothers me is her disdain for her guardian who I see it very affectionate with her and cares a lot. I do know it's just because of her rash and solitary nature though but I would like to see Chione have some sort of a soft spot (even not with this certain relationship) or something that makes her vulnerable since she is a very strong and independent (it seems) dust.

Guardian; It seems realistic and I can see him really spoiling Chione. C: Just add a bit history behind him and try to relate him more in the LD world.
