a p p e a r a n c e
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________Dawn could loosely be described as a silver tabby. However, the majority of her fur is a frosted white colour, rather than grey. She has regular striping, with the classic tabby "M" painted across her forehead in black, and it's just the base colour of her pelt that's lighter than usual. The black and snowy grey come together with remarkable contrast- Dawn is an appealing cat to look it, and her amber eyes also stand out against the pale fur on her face. Her fur looks almost wiry in some places, but in reality is just as soft to touch as any other cat's would be. She's probably covered in scars- Dawn's been in enough fights- but her fur effectively covers most of them. The only place where this isn't true is the zone between her nose and eyes, where her fur is patchy due to scarring. What fur is left is coarse and very, very short so cannot conceal the marks in the way the longer hairs on her torso and limbs can. The myriad of scars clashes with the otherwise almost elegant impression she gives off, and allows an observer a glimpse at her past and personality.
Physique wise, Dawn is tall for a rogue- that is to say, for a cat that has probably not eaten and slept well for the majority of her life. She's not broad or especially strong, but she's well built in her own way- slender and chorded with lean muscle. Dawn's very leggy- this gives her a good reach when fighting or hunting. While she's well practised in both of the previously mentioned arts, Dawn only excels at the former. She's a ruthless, violent opponent and anyone who goes up against her should watch their backs. She makes up for her lack of brute strength in other, sometimes inventive, ways.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________The first thing anyone should know about Dawn is that she'll do whatever she's gotta do- no matter how grotesque or dishourable the act might be. To forgot this about her would be to forget that a lion, no matter how docile, is still a predator, and a killer when it suits him.
Dawn is a very adaptable cat- right now, she's loyal to her cats and will be so until the end. But, should she survive said end, she'll be looking to build bridges and work out how to maximise her gain from an unfortunate situation. Dawn is good at getting the best out of any environment- geographic or social- and it's a skill that she'll always have. She regards her ability to change with the times as one of her greatest assets.
Dawn's leadership- or rather, second in commandship- style is interesting, and by interesting I mean very much a work in progress. She's spent the majority of her life relying on and managing only herself, and while she has fighting talent and a presence that commands respect, Dawn is still figuring out which enforcement methods work and which don't. There's a fine line between being imposing and aggressive, and luckily Dawn's just about mastered how to stay on the right side of it. Her default setting will always be violence, but over the past year she's exercised diplomacy and reason a little more often than she has done in the past, with positive results. But of course, this is a band of rogues and sometimes words will only get you so far.
