» IXIALL
'and it turns out we haven't climbed up so far // on our individual grassblades to our individual star'
Username: Squishy.
Other characters: None. D:
Other?: This is my first time roleplaying a big cat, sooo... XD;
Gender: female
Age: 2 years, 3 months
Species: snow leopard
Sexuality: bisexual
Element: air
Familar: Flower Spider -- a small, quiet arachnid that whispers advice into Ixiall's ear (although though most of it isn't advice that would be beneficial to follow). He is ivory, and blends in perfectly with Ix's pelt. He has no name other than Spider.
Alliance: living
Rank: court lady
Appearance: Ixiall is a court lady, and as such, there are certain standards of appearance she is expected to adhere to in order to lure in "customers". Her fur, which she takes care to keep free of any snarls or stains, is a smoky off-white flecked with hundreds upon hundreds of small, slate-grey splotches. These markings are not just sprinkled across Ixiall's pelt any which way; they flow like ocean currents, swirling down her back and across her sides before looping around her tail and paws and then surging up to splash her neck, ears and muzzle with tiny spots. Honestly, the only region of the leopard's body not daubed with the markings are the undersides of her paws (which are mottled pink and black and calloused from years of roaming the land) and, naturally, her eyes.
Ixiall's eyes are interesting, to say the least. The irises are a fragile shade of lavender which is made to look all the more delicate by the stark blackness of her pupils, but the unusual coloration isn't what makes her eyes intriguing -- it's the look of wariness that lingers in them. Even when Ixiall is relaxed and laughing, there's always an edgy flicker in her gaze, and it is this jumpiness that prevents her from being truly beautiful. Sure, her pelt may be exotic and striking, but what does it matter if it clings to her bones and betrays her frailty? What's the use of having gorgeous eyes if they never look into the face of another? All in all, even though the leopard is beautiful in theory and tries her best to look stunning, her lack of confidence and constant anxiety make her look the same as any other ragged prostitute.
One sentence: A gaunt snow leopard with a grey-spotted pelt and haunting lilac eyes.
Scars, or deformitys?: sterile; one milky scar that slashes across her left flank.
Personality: Years upon years of being a mere plaything to males have taken their toll upon Ixiall, that much is plain to see. She has grown quite bitter, with a glass-half-empty attitude that can leech the joy out of almost anything. However, the leopard isn't like most other unhappy souls, who squawk their problems to the world like overgrown ravens; on the contrary, Ixiall has adopted a "speak only when spoken to" attitude. This means that any time another feline tries to have a conversation with her, instead of getting the gentle, shy response they were probably expecting they receive the verbal equivalent of a faceful of claws. Despite her caustic attitude, Ix is quite trusting, and will cling to any scrap of affection shown to her as if it were a nugget of gold even though her attitude will likely remain harsh.
There has to be a reason Ixiall is a court lady, right? A sensible feline wouldn't subject herself to a lifetime of physical mistreatment for no reason, especially not a world-weary one like Ix. However, despite how much she despises the way her clients treat her, Ixiall is a lustful female and wants -- no, needs -- to have physical relations. Therefore, when she spies an eligible male, she'll replace her venomous remarks with honeyed words in an attempt to woo him. It usually works -- she's good at her job. However, after her customer leaves, she's plunged back into the same hollow feelings she had before. It's a twisted catch 22, and unless Ixiall changes dramatically she'll never find a way to break out of the vicious cycle.
Likes: frigid temperatures; competition; pity; getting the last laugh; robust males.
Dislikes: optimism; summer; irony; insincerity; nobles.
History: no thanks :3
RP sample:
NOTE: This isn't a very good post, but I'm too lazy to type up a new sample so I grabbed the first thing of mine I saw from Broken Feathers. XD;
l i t h i u m we're not so very far from the back of our heads,
. . .
Dusk crept into the air through a secret passage, staining the innocent sky a murky shade of violet with his malevolent schemes. Of course, Sir Twilight wasn't the only one plotting dark things -- Lithium herself, mistress of smoke, mirrors and poison, was riffling through her little black book of sabotage.
...And, in your case, some admission too, I believe.
The silver-furred alpha flicked a black-tipped ear dismissively as Tinde's eerily melodious voice curled through the ever-present mist. Another member? I'm starting to regret forming an alliance with the Nyxients... With another flick of her ear and an apathetic yawn, Lithium resettled herself on her cushion of ferns, her pastel eyes flickering lazily over her surroundings -- a tightly packed grove of ancient, shadowed pines -- before resuming her musings. I'll go confront the new wolf later...I'm sure the oh-so-eloquent Tinde can handle this by himself for now.
. . .
and just a little push...
