Name: Sunset Royale
Backstory: Sunset Royale grew up with her father in the sunny tropical islands. Her fur back then was the most stunning shades of yellow, orange, red, pink, and purple. One beautiful morning, Sunset woke to see her father fishing. She ran over to him, and she helped him real in the biggest fish she'd ever seen! After getting it onto shore, she looked up to see boats coming their way in the distance. She pointed and giggled, thinking they would be kind friends who wanted to go swimming with her. As the boat got closer, her father saw the flag being raised. It was black. It had a skull and crossbones. He grabbed little Sunset and shoved her under her bed, stacking things in front of it so no one would see her. He told her to be quiet, and she did as her father told her. The ship pulled up at their dock, and the pirates jumped out. Her father was trying to hide but it was too late. They ran at him, their swords in the air. She peeped out a little hole, and saw blood splatter on the floor. Then she saw his body fall. Her eyes widened and she almost screamed. The pirates rummaged through their house, finding nothing of interest, so they left. When they were gone she sat there alone sobbing. She jumped out at last to see her father breathing heavily as blood gushed out of his wound. She ran over to help, but it was too late. He spoke to her softly in a ragged voice, saying that it was too late but everything would be okay. She pleaded that she would help him and save him, but he shook his head no telling her to not waste the few herbs they had left. She hugged him, and he stopped breathing. She found the black sand near the volcano, and ground it as thin as possible to create black powder. She made it into dye and applied it to all her fur. This dye never washed out, but hints of her old coat can be seen shining beneath the blackness like memories that wouldn't leave her mind no matter what. She vowed to kill those pirates in honor of her late father. (Later on, once she finds them, she steals their treasure after destroying their ship and sinking them to their graves. That's how she got her bracelets.)
