.::Dust::.
~~~~~.::Name::. Chione
~~~~~.::Gender::. Female
~~~~~.::Dust::. Snow Leopard
~~~~~.::Stage::. Dust Spin
~~~~~.::Traits::. imperious, headstrong, demanding
~~~~~.::Personality::.~~~~~~~Chione is difficult to cope with. She believes herself to be superior to all others, even those she must rely on. Despite
~~~~~~~this reliance, she tries to remain independent and solitary, regardless to the futility of it. She feels she needs no one
~~~~~~~else even when given ample evidence to the contrary.
~~~~~~~When Chione interacts with strangers outside her territory (her home mainly), she does so with wariness. Her behavior
~~~~~~~is not driven by fear, she cannot be afraid of others when all are beneath her, but rather caution. Even prey can take
~~~~~~~down the predator under unfavorable conditions. Chione is not a trusting soul and signs of this paranoia can be spotted
~~~~~~~in social encounters. Even so, if she feels she hasn't been given proper respect she can turn hostile, even if her aggression
~~~~~~~remains verbal.
~~~~~~~Chione is a possessive creature. This gives her the appearance of a spoiled princess on the occasions she is truly obstinate
~~~~~~~and demanding something she wants. Her demands are diverse; it can be to go somewhere, do something, have this or that,
~~~~~~~or even own someone. Everything is hers to claim when the whim takes her. Desiring possession of people is luckily a rarer
~~~~~~~event. Chione must like the person in question, an uncommon event, so this particular side of her nature is often avoided.
~~~~~~~Those whom she does like she considers her possession, something she is protective of. Harm (emotional, physical, or other)
~~~~~~~done to anything of hers challenges and damages her pride. And Chione is quite proud. Thus if any of her belongings are
~~~~~~~threatened Chione is likely to react badly.
~~~~~~~It is difficult for Chione to acknowledge that she does care for specific individuals. Like any other living creature, she wants to
~~~~~~~love and be loved. Showing, or even admitting, it conflicts with her nature though, and she is very stubborn. She complicates
~~~~~~~her own life. Her loved ones are treated like trusted slaves; Sable is the primary example. As her father figure and provider,
~~~~~~~Sable has been able to show Chione more patience than most. She loves him for this even though she won't admit it. So Sable
~~~~~~~has become one of her favorite belongings. He is allowed to cook her meals, clean her lair, read her stories, and do most menial
~~~~~~~tasks that she would rather avoid.
~~~~~~~Chione has a lot of room for growth, emotional, mental, social, and otherwise.
~~~~~.::Desires::. Winter- frigid temperature and snow, hunting, heights
~~~~~.::Avoids::. warmth, "rabbit food," rules, bodies of water
~~~~~.::Appearance::.~~~~~~~Chione is a little shorter than average height with a lithe build. Her skin tone is dusky and complemented by ice green eyes. Her
~~~~~~~hair would be white/light brown with black strands lightly intermixed. Long hair would annoy her so Chione's hair couldn't be more
~~~~~~~than shoulder height. Should would be too impatient to do anything with it and Sable wouldn't have the faintest idea what to do
~~~~~~~with her hair. Chione would want to look good though. It's a dilemma. Styles changes are likely frequent as she gets fed up.
~~~~~~~Chione physically takes after her snow leopard cousins. Her long tail is colored and spotted in the snow leopard fashion. It often
~~~~~~~lashes back and forth when she is irritated. Her nails also come to definite points that could inflict damage. Not as true claws, but
~~~~~~~it's pretty close.
~~~~~.::Attire::.~~~~~~~Chione's clothes would be similar to her hair: attractive enough to suit her pride, but simple enough not the frustrate her. Excepting
~~~~~~~the long skirts and gloves (both she hates) that Sable forces her to wear in order to avoid standing out. She avoids (and/or ditches)
~~~~~~~her shoes whenever possible.
~~~~~.::Random::.~~~~~~~When Chione sleeps she does so like a cat; curled up with her tail often resting atop her nose and obscuring her face.
~~~~~.::Color::. #663300
