Name: Ronan Dustin Strand
Gender: Male
Age: 12
Animal: Mountain lion
Shape-Changer or Power?: People are pretty certain he's a dud. He might grow out of it.
Kin: His parents, Siobhán (Kestral) and Anthony (Mountain lion), who travel around the world and come back to visit him every so often.
Romantic Interest: N/A
Brief Personality: Quiet and shy, Ronan tends to keep out of the way as best he can. However, this doesn't mean he's always on his best behaviour. He has the habit of eavesdropping, using his small size and larger ears to listen in on other peoples' secrets. While this may make him seem dishonest, no one will deny he's always first with the news, and the person to go to for any information.
Brief History: Born in Ireland to an Irish mother and an American father, his parents had high expectations of him that he simply could not meet. Knowing that his lack of ability to shape-shift would hold them back, as they spend most of their time in animal form around Europe and America, at the age of eight Ronan was dropped off at Kemon, where his father had been born and raised. Though his parents do come back a few times a year, Ronan isn't overly close to them, and they're not too fond of him either.
Appearance: Ronan has a face that's strikingly similar to that of a mountain lion, even though he's in human form. His nose is wide and flat on the top, and the tip of it is speckled with black and pink pigment. His eyes are amber coloured, with irises large enough that there could be no white. His canine teeth are too large for his jaw, and extend slightly over the bottom lip, which certainly looks cute until he yawns and shows off a full set of feline incisors that go with them. His ears rest slightly higher on his head, are larger than usual human's, and more rounded and slightly furry. The hair on the top of his head is fur-like, short and soft, and his body hair will be the same when he gets any. However, he's red-haired, due to his mother being a red-head herself. He's also quite short and skinny for his age, a trait he uses to his advantage to hide in small places, but he has a wiry strength that allows him to climb very easily, aided by his slight claw-like nails. Usually he wears simple dark blue jeans, no shoes, a plain t-shirt or long sleeved tee, and his hoodie.
