Den Seven

Hello there...Leo here. I suppose you want to know about Anima, the Kitsuneko Chimera? Very well then...

Anima is owned by Sno Leopard, or at least desperately wants to. I know this for certain, as I live with her! Every night she and I are talking and she brings that up. "Sno Leopard is such a lovely person..." she'd say. "And she wants me ever so badly... I do hope she gets me at the end of this competition!"

Oh, you want her name again? Her real name is Anima Fides, though we (by "we" I mean her friends and me) always shorten it to "Anima". I thought it was a strange name at first, until I learned what it meant. Turns out that "Anima Fides" roughly translates to "the life we lead in trust" from Latin! Amazing, huh!

If you haven't already picked it up, Anima is a girl. Not a boy. And I, Leo the little yellow tomcat, live with her. And I am a boy. Now remember that.

Now you want to know her personality? What are you, a stalker? Just kidding! A lot of people want to know about Anima, as she really is quite magnificent. Now about Anima: she is an introvert. Don't know what that means? Look it up... now! Anyway, so Anima is an introvert, but surprisingly enough, she isn't shy (at all) and if she finds the right person, she can talk to them for hours. Or days. Or weeks. Also, she really likes her voice to be heard... if it isn't, she gets really annoyed and there goes the peace of our den. But that's beside the point... anyway, Anima can be really nice at times, and so it's often nice to be around her---at least when she's not ranting about something.

And now you want a story about her? Oh I see---how I met her, how she got her scars, all those important things. Well, here goes:

I don't know much about Anima Fides's beginning years, as I didn't live with her, but I can tell you about my beginning years, of course---that would put us in a nice beginning-of-the-life-summary to begin our little story.

I was born into a clan of alley cats, filled with big, muscular battle-scarred toms and pretty little she-cats. My mother called me Leo, because although I was small, she believed (or at least hoped) that one day I would grow up to be bigger and stronger than all the toms in the world. She was the only oasis I had in the desert of my childhood---my father had died soon after my birth and since I was so small, I was almost always teased or fought by the other young tomcats, and the she-cats, beside my mother, ignored me. I probably wouldn't have gotten through my childhood without her.

Now it came to be known to us that there was a war going on in Eastern Europe (not a human war, a war between creatures)and that the troops for our side were growing thin. Apparently, the captains of our army were requesting that any creature on their side brave enough to go into battle was to be sent to the western edge of the battlegrounds in Poland. Now, of course my family wanted to send someone out to the war, and it turned out that my mother was out that day...

"You will go," the lead cat snarled.

"But why me? I'm skinny and small and full of, um, fleas!"

"Yes, but you're the only cat we can afford to lose. The only one keeping you here is your mother, and she's out today."

"But-but-but!"

"Out you go!"

And so I was thrown out onto the cold, wet street, alone. "Goodbye, Mother," I whispered.

I knew I couldn't just wait until my mother came back because then the clan would shred both of us, and the only other place I could think of going was the war, so off I went.

It took me several weeks because it's an awfully long way from England to Poland, but eventually I made it. I won't go into it in detail because this is more about Anima than me and we need to get on with the program.

I first met Anima when I arrived at the battleground. That was when she and I were younger, before she had her scars and before I got the limp of which annoys me so much. My first sight of her was simply a glimpse, and even then she had seemed strong and determined. As we waited for the captains to come out, I struck a conversation with her:

"Hello..."

"Hello! What's your name?"

"Uhhh...Leo. And yours?"

As you can see, it was pretty awkward between both of us. Fortunately, the captains came out then. They did a bunch of shouting about how there was no time to train us and all that and then, well, sent us out to battle. As I left the camp, I realized that all this time, I didn't know what we were fighting...

Username: purplesugarmonster
Name: Lorna, meaning lonely
Gender: Female
Personality: Bold, out going but alert and always on the lookout for danger. Lorna is a bit of a loner, doesn't like other Kitsunekos. She is very stubborn, and doesn't like to be told what to do. Lorna likes simple things, and doesn't like complicated things. She used to have a mate but he died in accident a few years back. This is the reason why she isn't in a pack.
Foxfire Power: (if you think of an unlisted one contact lunamoth19) Feather Flame

Extra: (Limit of 7 art pieces! As much extras as you want. Poem, story, song inspiration, etc.)

I stand on the edge of the cliff, my nose pointed into the wind, breathing in the scent of the ocean below me. The sun is just peaking over the hills, giving off a faint glow. A light breeze rustles my feathers and messes up my fur.The sea is agitated today so fishing is out of the question. I feel my foxfire building in my veins and I leap off the cliff. My foxfire is the Feather flame, which allows me to fall slowly and land safely. My paws touch the sand and instantly I'm alert for any early wandering humans. The beach seems safe so I scurry off to try and find a meal. The tide is out and it reveals oysters just waiting for me to get them. Carefully, I use my claws to try and open the tough shell. It's difficult, but fishing is too dangerous today and there is no bird meat. I slurp the oyster out and repeat the process. The sun is just coming out as I finish my fifth oyster. The humans will start to come out so I begin my climb back up to my cliff. I spend half a day watching my beach, as I have done for over a year now. A dozen humans come out and start to play in the water. Some ride on funny bright coloured objects which I have never seen before. I rest my head on my paws and suddenly longing rushes through me. Those humans look so happy in their pack, playing, eating and resting together. Sadness makes me ache. Maybe I should join a pack again.

Song Lyrics that describe her:
Everybody stares, as she goes by
'Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes
Watch her when she's lighting up the night
Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
And it's a lonely world
