The Clan Renaissance

An Alternate Universe Warriors Roleplay

Appearance: Fawn Caramel Tortoiseshell-Tabby (Torbie) with a Marbled Tabby look. (Or regular Cinnamon Tortoiseshell-Tabby (Torbie) with a marbled tabby look if the Caramelization gene isn't in play on site.)

One of the first things cats would notice meeting Bellona is how unassuming her stature is. She stands a little smaller than the average cat height, making her appear more fragile or in need of protection. Her time spent in the tunnels has allowed her to grow into a lean and thin frame, keeping her fighting and tunneling training in mind to deal precise and devastating blows. Her paws are small and dainty but she doesn't mind so long as it can help her drive a claw into a particularly stubborn rock or to cuff someone's ear.

Secondly, her coat shows the beauty that would one day name her after the butterflies. Long, thick fur branches out in all directions and despite the rough conditions she finds herself living in, it has yet to really dull or crumble underneath the shower of dust or the overwhelming heat. It is coloured in a tortoiseshell pattern, pale ginger and dilute cinnamon peeking out in places among darker stripes in their ginger splotches.

Finally, her face is rather round with a slightly flatter muzzle. Dark hazel eyes keep a watch on her surroundings, taking in the little details that would her know if they would be under attack. Her ears are rounded off slightly, and the long, sleek fur gives her a rather puffy appearance across her face.

Outwardly, Bellona can come off as somewhat aloof towards the group. Preferring to leave the arguing to her sibling, the molly is known to sneak out and explore the many tunnels and secrets that this ancient piece of territory holds. Though she isn't one to properly think about what could remain and where it all came from, that gene specifically went to their sibling. No, Bellona is more one to appreciate the experience and move onto the next, savoring the faint flickers of light-hearted emotions that spark up.

Inwardly, or to those that can pierce through that aloof demeanor, Bellona is a driven problem solver. When things get too grim between parties and Bellona really, really wants to just continue on and not stew in that darkness, she can be a very good mediator and a persuasive speaker. She isn't afraid to politely and calmly tell you where you went wrong and how to correct it. The cold wind fades into a very mild breeze while her gentle outlook unfolds like a flower, revealing a cozy and warm personality that would help someone in need. She prefers words over rash action and will only use her claws to defend herself if she has to.

Bellona grew up in a small cat colony consisting of two families. While her sibling, Roots, grew up deeper in the tunnels and chasing after mysteries, Bellona was a reluctant participant in her early moons. Bellona wanted to learn more of what was on the surface, what lay behind every tree in far off places. She grew up relatively alone due to her more prickly nature, and was known to disappear every so often to investigate the forest and the marshlands uninterrupted.

When Roots began to speak of ghosts and whispers, Bellona was apprehensive. The rock, tree, and sky were all that she knew to be real, and the paranormal stood for everything that the molly was against. She held her doubts in private, only bringing them up on occasion that she could try to sway Roots from this folly. Yet when they began to delve deeper into this mystery, Bellona stepped beside her sibling. Whatever happened in the future, she wanted to help face it together.
