"If one only lives once why not do it the best."
Name:Astraline
her name with comes from the root of stars, and as bright as a star her name first part brings in star like showings. As said she is bright, and like a star which means mostly against darkness she will be the light in due time. The line part brings in a star with a direct path. Like direction from birth or even knowing where she was heading and what to be. A line does curve, but she follows her heart though the life. Her name holds two different roots, and both lead to the name Astraline the child of direct starlight.
Gender:Female.
Personality:Main Traits: Smart, Caring, Understanding, Watchful, Fierce, Unemotional and Hard At TimesSmartTo begin Astra is a very smart chimera. She does know to use her mind then to jump into a fight when need be. It's not her usual consent to just jump straight into a fray, or to speak her words without thinking them over though at times she will, though mostly not all the time. She does have a small trait to go ahead and speak her mind to others in tough calls, but usually under normal days when the land is calm and nothing is happening her to get distracted with Astra will usually think things though before she speaks or acts.Astra sat against the grass with her tail flicking back and forth softly against the strands of blades against the light coat of her fur. The morning was young in the land, and with the soft warming breeze that ran against her skin she could feel the day growing on as she rose up from her position to hunt for the pack. She took a few good steps away from her favorite lone tree in the clearing next to the Glass Mountains before wandering off to the nearest part of the hunting site with her paws stepping lightly on the ground. With her dark life of eyes like the glass of the mountains she wandered forward with light steps on the grass ground. Suddenly, in her nose she caught a faint whiff of a bit of small prey in her nose. It was nearby, yet as she turned in the direction of the Nevermore Forest she felt her mind give her slight nudges. It told her the danger of a lone chimera in the woodland of a panther territory. Smart-minded Astra stopped the following of the small prey, and turned back towards the home of the chimera with a slight glance back at the direction she was heading. She knew better than to follow a small bit of prey in the cost of her own life. Letting out a soft rumble of her chest in disappointment at the prey loss her soft golden pale paws took her a bit of ways to the Glass mountains.
UnderstandingThe thing you need to know about Astra is she is very understand, and not judgemental on others ideas. Of course at times she will be a bit indifferent if its something dangerous, though if it's just a regular old habit or needing a talk she is always there to give a paw to a friend no matter who you might be. Even though she is understand don't think for a moment she will not be changing in her mind about her ideas. Sometimes on a good time you will find even Astra to be in the need of her own helpful habits needing to be discussed, but for her next trait she is very understanding, and well able to speak her mind if she has to.WatchfulTo start with this part of the trait to say to Astra is she is very watchful. In a way someone would do with their food, or even with a pup Astra is very watchful of the outer world with only her thoughts guiding her along. She usually is found looking around at times, or even watching a certain chimera if an outburst was made though she has her reasons against all she does. She never know why, or how she gained this trait. Though a while ago when she was born she found herself always careful to watch her brother when she played, or protect a kill once she made it. Even though I can say this doesn't affect much in her everyday life as a chimera, it does go hand in hand with her personality of a watchful caring chimera who is very protective.The day was hard with sunlight unlike another day. This was time of the year where summer sort of burns to no end in the plains, and even her rusted colored fur felt the soft heat under all the layers for the winter. With a slight glance up at the burning sun she headed off though the roaring tumbling grass-covered plains with a slight pant as she bounded forward with her speed showing easily though even the tough heat of summer. Arriving, somewhat at the outer bank of the plains she noticed a small yet large dark shadow wandering on the other edge of the plains. It was an unknown hidden in darkness Pantherberus who was maybe ahead of her on the other side of the tree line nearby with a walk of maybe hunting as its faces where pointed down, and its eyes leveled with his back. Quietly, and not wanting to attract attention to herself Astra watched the Pantherberus closely in her orbitals before the danger left out of sight. Though, just to make sure after a few moments of inactive movements in the last place of the danger she walked cautiously towards the trail to sniff down at the scent of the Pantherberus. Hunting a prey from the smell, and with a slight hint of relaxing she noticed the trail heading off towards the Nevermore forest once again where deep inside chimera's never did return. The reason for her even getting close to a Pantherberus or the nevermore was for information she could report back to help the pack gain info to save others lives. She would do that if she could. She would risk her life, and watch over her pups in due time. Though for now as she slide away from the plain edge she hid her body in welcoming darkness as again thoughts roamed of her future.
CaringOn this trait Astraline is very kind to others. To start off, Astra would be there for someone in need of an ear if they needed to talk, or even if they had to let all there emotions out against her own ears. She wouldn't take it to heart. She is just a type of chimera to keep private things to herself unless you ask, or lead an ear or help when she needs to be of use. To her caring goes way deep then just loving someone you like, or helping someone out in a time of need, but more of a wish to do good with others and to give yourself joy as well as doing the help that needs to be done when the time comes along. Caring to her is a big trait in her personality, and this shows very often in her day-to-day adventures.FierceIn a battle or in a fight you will see her caring, funny, good warming personality thrown away in an act of battle. Against all odds it is hard to her to even become a fierce predator like she is for her pack, but when duty needs she will bring out her mean like predator like claws and teeth to fight against anything for the safe watch of her pack. She is a mean female, and calling her otherwise might earn you a bit of ignoring from her side view sence she does take into great consideration of her status, and her training to become the best she can be. Though to sum this section/ trait up she is a female to be careful with, because she can fight and won't be afraid to either. With a mad growl her claws came down onto the bark with a hard slash that sounded against the cutting of wood, and the slight bend of the tree in a moan. Once she was back away from the tree she gently flexed her paw gently against the unkept tumbling grass beside her that floated softly in the light breeze in the edge of the nevermore forest she was training at. Again with a growl she sprang herself forward at the tree and at the same time extend her long shining brown rusty colored legs to let her claws dig into the bark with a loud shake of the leaves above in its branches. With a jerk she removed her sharp brown claws from the tree then with a slight shake of her muscles from the training she let her body rest against the grass even though she still kept her mind active with her senses on high alert for trouble. She knew it was hard to always train herself, or to not rest or relax at times like this when her body burned from the thick coat or from the sore legs she worked out. Though, with a slight sigh with her brown eyes flicking towards the grass at her feet she knew why she always did this. Why she wanted to. She was a fierce little female who at times didn't need some male to come rescue her all the time. Or course she did want it at times, but to always be a female who needed a watchful father or mother to look after her like a pup well that's the reason she was fierce against the foe. She had to be. She was a chimera.
Unemotional and Hard at TimesAt times without reason there is days when Astra will be very distant, cold, and hard against others even if there friends. She doesn't know why or how come she gets in the mood from a certain event, or a certain day though there is some days when her happy playful side has just been replaced with a distant female. Usually, to get her mad, cold, hard or upset you have to do something hurtful to her like breaking a promise, talking behide her back, or stealing a friendship away in the middle of a conversation to really get this female mad at you or even cold. She is not usual a mean girl, and won't try to be, but make note that she does have a distant cold dark side to her even under her coat. She can only give you her trust so many times before it is like hard stone against another.
Story:Warmth. Warmth spreaded though her body as soft gentle teeth pulled her close to a large fur covered paw before covering the small pup with the soft pads of the under paw from the soft windstorm outside. Inside her ears she could hear the soft loud thuds outside making her body wiggle slightly in my mother's paw, but soon as she felt a soft warming breath on the side of her body it easily calmed her down from the chilling storm outside that scared her. "Shh, its okay," her mom spoke gently to her pup before letting her head rest beside the small chimera she had while another beside her other right paw layed on top of the large leg. Breathing a sigh into her ears she soon fell asleep under the safe haven under her mom's paw in a soft comfort.~
Waking up she smiled gently at the slight snoring of her brother Ripper who was laying belly up on the dirt nearby her. She laughed softly, and with a quick stare at her mother and father who rested nearby the den entrance she creeped over to her brother's body silently like a predator. Then with a sudden spring of a growl she landed on top of him with her paws punching onto his chest, and he in a yelp flicked out his paw to knock his top paw into her cheek with a thud. Ripper jumped to his paws and growled softly at his sister. "What was that for!?" he demanded, and nearby her ears turned to hear the soft moans of their parents waking up by their actions. "You where snoring so loud I couldn't sleep. So I had to wake you up sence I bet the whole pack can hear you," she said coming to his side before circling him with her tail high and a look of dominance on her face. "What!? You're the one who tackled me in the gut!" he yelled out, and with a laugh she bounded away with a few good pounces at the den floor. "Hey come back here. I am not though with you," he said with a run after his sister. Astra smiled and ran over her parents paws with a laugh, and Ripper did the same. Though as she ran over them she could hear a soft mumbling noise that sounded from her father, and then later from her father. "You think after hunts they would give us some peace," said her father in a tired annoyed voice. "I agree, though let them play outside, and hopefully then when there hungry they will enter inside quietly," she replied as Astra bounded out of the den to the outside world.
She remembered the outside easily on her first day. She had just opened her eyes a while after she was born though couldn't remember how long it took, and as she went outside on the soft grass she smiled with a grin taking in the fresh untouched air. She could even remember the first night her mother took her out at sunset to show her and her brother the light show, and that to her was amazing as the lights danced across the ground, trees, and themselves at times as well. Now, after a small rain shower the grass was slightly damp with dew, and her paws easily added weight she ran against the grass around her body. Though, she wasn't alone because just as she was enjoying the fresh cool air from a soft rain shower, and with her brother chasing her nearby the den a lone Pantherberus jumped out from a nearby thicket to snap one of its larger heads around her brother, and one grabbing her tail with another head. The last one roared out in fury at the joy of ripping two chimera pups from the line of the life. Her parents rushed out them with their teeth razor-sharp as her mother came at the head holding Astraline to snap her jaws tightly at upper part of the jaw that easily made the head roar out in pain to let her tail free. With a quick spin around her father was fighting hard against the head holding her brother in his jaws by his neck, and even with his anger fighting at the hold on the Pantherberus who was holding him he soon couldn't with the tight hold on his neck. She turned away the moment she could to not watch her brother die. Though, as she thought of him soon dead a sudden thud of a body was hard nearby and her brother fell down onto his feet with a weak cough showing his life still inside his hard body, yet he looked so weak inside her amber eyes. With her mother and father still fighting she ran in front of the Pantherberus to grab her brother softly with her jaws at one of his horns not yet fully developed, but still a good hold on the horns that couldn't be broken easily when dragged which was good right now. The free head of the Pantherberus that was not yet tied with a chimera came down to snap madly at Astra, but when he did he met something a lot less joyful than blood it craved. Her claws which where sharp and out by her force to get away before came down hard against the third head nose, and sliced down easily like butter against the foe. The third head didn't expect this and the neck reeled back in howling pain while the others continued to fight against the two fully grown chimera's. She didn't now what better to do now then to run. She had to, and for her sake in her parents fight was ending with there lives she knew they would have wished that they got away. So even if they lived she did run as far as she could from the den in Nevermore, though the valley, and stopped somewhere around the base of a small mountain nearby the largest one around in her orbs. With one final drag and pull to a tree base she dropped her brother onto the ground with a soft thud by her worn out body. 
Thankfully, her efforts where worth it for her brother still breathed though his back was a bit torn open by the attack, but he was alive which for now she could take. Now, finished with her brother she turned to her tail which was attacked the most of all, and seen to her luck it was only a bit of fur he torn off from the skin and not flesh or bone. She breathed a slight sigh of relief before settling down next to her brother to rest for the night away from the attack of the day, and knew someday she would get back at the Pantherberus for destroying her life this way. This she knew well.
The next morning came early with a light warming touch against her back from the sun, and the soft breathing of her brothers belly against her back ever so gently. She felt the soft light breaths against her ears and the annoying light hairs twitched against the air which did get her awake to the morning light. With a soft yawn she backed away from her brother to check the day before, and their day ahead. So far, without their parents she must have to hunt for herself and her brother or risk death by hunger or starvation quickly, and another thing was water which lucky in the airs scent a stream was nearby so that was taken care of by nature. Food was their main need, and without much of a grow on their bodies at only maybe a half of a year old it was not much to take down anything bigger then her sizes, but a rabbit might work. She remembered how her mom brought rabbits to her before, and it was desired mostly by pups from rick flavor and taste. Then, as her lips watered and her eyes grew at the thought a sudden shadow appeared over her body with a glare down at her size, and he didn't say a word as she backed away into her brother's body. Then he did speak with a voice deep, and powerful that echoed though the trees around him. "Come with me, or fend for yourself," he told to her, and without a second thought of who he was or why he came, she quickly did as she was told by placing her brother over her back and carrying him after the large male chimera. "Your brother is sick by an attack right? Hum, Pantherberus are mean creatures and I am not surprised by how they attacked your family," he said with no emotion. "Though, I can say your parents are dead." A sudden weight filled over her then, and a few tears escaped her eyes as she walked behide him. "Though, now you must learn for yourself they mean ways of this world. Not everything is bad small chimera and if you cry now you will not be able to take on greater hardships. So stay strong," this time when he finished she spoke up with a bit of sadness echoing in her voice. "
Who are you anyways?" she demanded. "I am no one. Just some old male chimera with his last time left here to be spent with young ones like you," he replied.
With a soft glare up at the old chimera male she carried on without further questions on why he was leading her, or why he wanted to help.
Soon later a good hour or so the old male stopped by a small lake at his paws, and lucky for Astra he did stop for her back was killing her on the matter of carrying her brother. So with a light thud she dropped him to the side of the bank before reaching over for a sip at the cool blue water at her feet, yet a chuckle came form beside her which shot her upward at the male. "
What?" she demanded madly at him. "I could have carried your brother that long way youngling. Though, you never asked for help," he said with another chuckle though clearly trying to avoid another outburst from the pup. "
[color=#BF00FF]Well, you could have told me[/color]!" she replied madly at him with a glare up at his green eyes. "Pup, in time you will learn to know time when help is needed, or when it is not. These lessons I can teach you in till my time is up, but you must promise to grow up strong like your parents before you if, your brother does not live much longer despite the efforts you give." She thought hard of that, yet already she knew the answer is if it was not a hard choice. "
I accept, and I will learn as you teach me sence my parents are dead," she replied. "Good," he said back, but before he could go to take another sip of the cold water she grumbled softly to the water with a light chuckle. "
Though, next time tell me if I can ask for help, because my brother is heavy!"
"Okay young one," he said softly with a light tail flick to her head, that for the day made her remember of her parents and who this male really was. She still thought he was an unknown chimera, but already he seemed to be nice enough that took he was on her side, so she trusted him. For now.
~more soon if I win sence if I add more it will be too long for the form, lol~
Add ons: She has a Onyx necklace of a crystal of the stone around a bit of a chain like silver on her neck. She found it after the attack on her family, and to her she wears it all the time to remain her of the day of the attack and how cruel the other breeds are to her. She won't tell many of why she wears the chain, but she does. The last thing you can find on her is a white silver clasp on her right ear middle. There it runs from the back to the front inner ear, and it is pure silver on her ear. Besides that those are the two things she wears on her.
