A vixen who is hard to describe, both in appearance and personality wise. She is ever evolving, and will surprise you almost everyday if you stick around long enough. Cherokee has survived though hard times and know a lot more then she lets on. Take heed and listen when she speaks, you might miss something if you're not careful.
The W a r.
Unlike many, Cherokee was in the war from start to finish. She joined as soon as she was considered a teen, and grew up in it. She became a scout and worked her way up in the ranks (and earned the respect of many), until eventually she became a Scout group leader. She has seen many battles, and was the first in line with a handful. She has lost friends, family, and even a mate in the war. The war is now over, her clan is on the loosing side, and now she is forced to move and leave the only home she has known.
H i s t o r y.
Because of things being so different then they are today, she calls her past her "past life". Back then she had a role in her clan, a family and more. She was happy, and felt that she had a purpose. Now? She feels she is disorientated, and inwardly lonesome. Things now are very, very different then what it was. She was born as a healthy kit with two brothers. She had loving parents who taught her many things on survival and life. They were not shy foxes, you ask any question and they would tell you, no matter how embarrassing it might have been. She loved her family no matter what, and grew up well. By the time she became a teen, things started to change.
Her clan went to war with another neighboring clan. For more land, food, Cherokee never really knew. She was never allowed to go along with the clan when meeting were held and most fellow clan mates refused to tell her any details. To this day even the subject of it brings her utter frustration and quite a bit of anger. Although she was young (and to many, too young) she took part in the war and became one of the Lead Scouts withing the clan. She was fast on her feet and had good eyes and ears for scouting, she was perfect for the job. She wasn't afraid of being the first in line on the battle front and unlike other Scouts she saw the war and death first hand. She lost the hearing in one ear, gained a large mount of scars from battles, almost starved on several occasions - but somehow this vixen survived those years of hell. During the end of the war she become mates with another Scout, a handsome young todd by the name of Than, who unfortunately later died during a ambush from a enemy group. Most of scouting group died as well, which left her grief for the next year. She was never able to have any kits with her mate and as the war went on her clan became less and less - scattered, confused and broken. She lost her brothers, her parents went completely missing, and most of her friends had died. She never connected well with the rest of the clan (and the long days away from the clan doesn't help that) and felt that she was surrounded by complete strangers, especially the younger newer scouts who seemed oblivious of what happened.
P e r s o n a l i t y.
Cherokee is a extremely intelligent individual who can be stubborn, independent, and loyal to the end. She will take her duties within the clan first over the needs of herself and is known to be gone for days on end before returning with her job of Lead Scout. She has memorized dozens of tracks, sounds and smells with her job. She is a observant vixen who doesn't do well with strangers. Meeting and welcoming someone new is not her strong point - she might give them a smell to memorize their smell, ask a few questions, and determine if they are to be friend or foe. She has been nicknamed the "Ice Queen" for her attitude towards newcomers for the first month, but although she maybe cold at first she will always remain a professional tone towards strangers and clan members - no matter what age or rank they maybe.
Cherokee can also be easily annoyed at time so watch your tone with her. She has very little time to herself with her job, and frustration comes easily when someone interrupts or removed that said time away from her. She is constantly overworked, overstressed, and with very little sleep; this can leave her in a very snappy mood. She can be downright aggressive if told to go scouting with a partner! The few things she despises is being belittled, mocked, or underestimated. If given a few days of rest she can and will ease up with her harshness (vacations are something she isn't allowed, but very needed) - showing a more soft, motherly side of her that can be very friendly and warm so long as you treat her well. She can be a very good babysitter for other vixens, allowing kits to jump on her/play fight with her while she keeps watch over them.

So full of hate were our eyes
That none of us could see
Our war would yield countless dead
But never victory
So let us cast arms aside
And like discard our wrath
Thou, in faith, will keep us safe
Whilst we find the path
