What is a Kora?
A Kora is a large feline largely resembling a leopard or lion. All Koras have a fluffy dorsal mane, starting from the end of the tail and ending at the crown of the head, falling over the face. Their faces are broad, like a lion, but they have wider eyes adapted to seeing in the dark. Koras have large, tufted tails. We have yet to know what the purpose of such an ornamental tail would be. Koras have long, waterproof fur, good for keeping out water and unfavorable temperatures. Much like their ancestors, the cheetah, snow leopard, and lion, all Koras have spots almost covering their bodies. Occasionally they may be more sparse, but they will always have them for the purpose of camouflage in their harsh wild habitat.

Username;;
Korona Knight, applying for her first Kora on the new lines :3
Kora's Name;;
Coal "Otega" {Oh-tay-gah}. I'm not sure where I've heard the name before, or if I just made it up, but it seems to fit him, as it sounds rather tribal, and he looks rather tribal! His first name was Coal, but once he took over as chief of his tribe, he became known as Otega.
Gender;;
Male; definitely male ^^
History;;
Coal grit his teeth against the pain as a the hot coals pricked at his paws.
Mind steady, mind clear, he thought to himself, continuing to grit through the pain and walk on. He wasn't even halfway, and already his paws felt like they were going to fall off. He knew he had to clear his mind, but he just couldn't. There was too much to think about it.
Every tribe member stood along the coal bed, watching his every move. In between each member, there were pale, opaque figures as well; the ancestors of their past, watching his journey from child to adulthood. He was only a teenager, but this was to signify that he was a man.
He had already failed this test three times before. Each was a worse humiliation than the last. Being the chief's son, he was supposed to be stronger and better than the rest. This had put too much pressure on the young Kora, and he crumbled under the pressure every time.
Something amazing began to happen to him this time, however. His white markings began to glow, and his eyes radiated the soft white light. Strength was renewed in his paws and the rest of his body, and soon he was gracefully running across the hot coals as if they were nothing.
When he reached the other side, he was greeted by his mother, then by his father.
"I had great faith in you son; now I know you are ready to take over the tribe one day. You unlocked the secrets of your own powers long before I ever did. You are stronger than you know," he murmured, licking Coal on the head.
Coal stood next to his father as he gave the age old speech to accept him as the newest full fledged member of the ribe.
"And with great pride, I give the name Otega unto the one once known as Coal," his father concluded, looking down at his son, pride shining in his eyes.
Otega fluffed out his chest, looking at the tribe members, who all were now bowing down to him, welcoming him in as their new future leader.

Username;; KiruRaki
Kora's name;; Jay
Gender;; Male
History;; My name is Jay, i am a Kora. The most memorable thing in my life would be when i was only young. My family couldn't look after me, so they had to leave me. I never knew why they couldn't look after me. But because i am very strong and a good hunter, i grew up by myself just fine, i did get a bit lonely sometimes though. The reason i wear these feathers around my neck is because i like them, they represent me. I collect them.

Sorry, not good at history

Kora's Name:
NightShade
Gender:
female
History:
I am NightShade. I've stood once tall and happy upon my pack before. I was separated. Separated from the ones I know and love. I used to be StarLight, but I am Nightshade and you should call me that. I have "fun" by remembering those that once loved me. They all forgot about me... All forgot.... I found them again. They didn't know me anymore. They thought I was strange. I cry every time there is a full moon. Mourning about the ones who separated me and now my family has forgotten me. I shall stand and be strong and brave, I must continue life as it is. I am NightShade, I rule the Night.~
Small personality to explain history:
Im not that kind of Kora who doesnt talk, laugh, or smile, im just calmer than others. I Still play and have fun all the time! I just tend to be a bit more sadder than others because my history overcomes me. I have many friends but I never tell them about what happened to me. but ya know, its still not good if you dont have fun no matter how sad you are c:


I hope its not too tiny to read ;-;

| . History:

| ; Buio laid curled up on the cold ground.
He didn't mind much, as dark and coldness were his realm.
His eyes glinted obsidian, but there was a spark of kindness embedded in them.
Yet another day alone, tossed away, forgotten even.
Every day he woke with the hope of someone remembering.
Until then, Buio would be stuck a shade, a fragment of his former, much more powerful self.
The feline turned on his back and purred softly, trying to convince himself that there was still hope for happiness. His feathers jingled slightly. If only someone could see he's not some monster.
But was there happiness in this cold world?
Buio could never be sure until it came.
Big thanks to ImmyWimmy1, who made my artwork found in the siggy.

It's

my soul

I need to

Your eyes,

I wanna save
that light

I can't escape

Unless you
