L O O K S

Built | Lean, built more for speed and agility
Size | A tad shorter than an average snow leopard. (Snow leopards are 60cm from their shoulders, compared to humans.)

Like all snow leopards, Dakota is slightly shorter than most big cats. However, unlike most snow leopards who are stocky and short-legged, Dakota is slightly on the leaner side though her legs remain the same. Also, her tail is considerably long, thanks to her genetics.

Fur | Being a snow leopard, Dakota has long, thick fur which often drapes down at her stomach region. Her pelt's base color is a mid-shade of gray, with dark grey open rosettes on her back as the markings. Whitish-gray shades make up her underparts and her toes.

Eyes | Unlike other big cats, snow leopards eyes range from the colors of pale green to gray. Dakota's a shade of pale, mint green.

Scars | None as of now
Items | A claw bracelet - which is made from the claw that Dakota ripped out to become a doctor, and a few tied-together leaves

P E R S O N A L I T Y

Positive | [ Compassionate ] / [ Empathetic ] / [ Reliable ]

On her way to becoming a doctor, it was taught to Dakota to be compassionate and empathetic towards others, to show a doctor's concern over their patients' well-being. Being reliable was just part of the package, to enable others to trust her that she'd take good care of them, a recovery guaranteed.

Neutral | [ Sarcastic ] / [ Versatile ] / [ Laid-back ]

During her early days when Dakota was training to be a soldier like her parents, she developed a sharp-tongue through the harsh criticism she had to face from her parents. The training also made her versatile, in order to adapt to her surroundings and constant change of pace in plans, hard-wiring her to respond to any scenario. However, Dakota never really did have an interest in fighting, and hence often had a relaxed attitude towards such training.

Negative | [ Paranoid ] / [ Insecure ] / [ Mentally Emotionless ]

Her father's ignorance towards her made Dakota's self-esteem drop, making her feel insecure that she was not wanted and became paranoid about others not wanting her to be around. Throughout training however, she learned to conceal those feelings to herself and as time went by, her heart became cold and Dakota became indifferent towards the world.

T R I V I A

Likes | Resting among trees, Swimming, Friendly competitions, Joking around/Puns, Rain/Cloudy weather, Snow

Dislikes | Hot weather, Fights (involving bloodshed), disagreements

Quirks | When tensed, Dakota's tail will keep playing with the claw on her bracelet. The reason behind is due to growing up as someone who was taught to think of the worst scenario and act upon it (thus making her brain hardwired to attack), the gesture reminds Dakota that she had chosen the path of a Doctor, and not to harm others.

Also, when she is lost in thought, Dakota will often sit rather upright, like a statue, considerably motionless.

Hobby | Coming up with as many puns as she can to keep things light-hearted

Fear | Failure (Atychiphobia), Open Spaces [uncomfortable] (Agoraphobia)

Voice Actor | Kathryn Cressida ('Bloody Mary' - Wolf Among Us Ep. 3) // America Ferrera ('Astrid' - HTTYD)

Abridged Version |

- Dakota's original personality at birth would be laid-back

Born in an environment where stakes were high, Dakota was born as the only child of the soldier Gawonii and Ayita. Having parents who were both part of the offense line, it was needless to say that they made no attempts to soften the harsh world up for Dakota, and she was exposed to the hardships and sufferings of others on a daily basis the moment she began to walk on her own. Gawonii and Ayita, being prideful felines, wanted Dakota to follow in their footsteps and trained her into taking the path of a soldier, just like them.

- The training sessions made Dakota versatile

However, they soon found the flaw in their child, that Dakota's strength wasn't up to the basic soldier's standard. Without the attacking strength to fight, a victory was just out of the question. Looking on the bright side of things, Ayita focused on Dakota's agility and speed, making use of them to aid in battle. On the other hand, Gawonii gave up on Dakota, ignoring her presence at the very least.

- Gawonii's ignorance of Dakota caused her to be paranoid & insecure

This continued until one day, Gawonii went missing out of the blue. It was deemed that he could have been deceased and that statement alone drove Ayita up the wall to insanity. Dakota, watching her intelligent mother shrunk into a withering, old hag, convinced her that the soldier path just wasn't suited for her. Seeing as how the doctors tried to help Ayita go back to normal, Dakota made up her mind to take on the path of a doctor and began to make her way to achieve that dream, hoping that by the time she was ready to become a Doctor, she'd be able to cure Ayita's shattered heart, a feat that the doctors were unable to accomplish.

Over the years, she trained and trained - memorizing different medical herbs and following the present doctors' examples, gaining experience from hands-on activities and practicals. Dakota never did get the chance to cure her mother before she became a full-fledged Doctor, as the latter had died due to starvation, thanks to her stubborn nature.

- From the years of training on how to be a Doctor, Dakota gained compassion, empathy and reliability

Upon becoming a true Doctor, Dakota had grown accustomed to the suffering of others, and no longer does anything faze her, for her heart had been jaded through her parent's death and the countless others she had seen through.

- Through that experiences, Dakota became mentally emotionless

Jacqueline allowed herself to become submissive to the water's embrace, letting herself relax. Her mind soon wandered off to the thoughts of how she was currently living now and the difference between the recent events and her past hometown. She couldn't quite get used to living a tent yet, but why would she complain when she got to choose where to set her tent up. Of course, she set up near this lake, though it amused her slightly to know that the other residents had started to use this as a public lake.

Her train of thoughts suddenly got destroyed as Jacqueline heard a sudden voice resounded among the surroundings, jolting her from the original tranquility she had previously got used to. This sort of surprise would have gotten anyone loose their balance in the water, but the Purrloin was used to being in the water, and if she were to say so herself, she was quite experienced for a Dark-type. Lifting her head while she shifted her position to be more comfortable, Jacqueline noticed a Pikachu in the waters.

Curious to know whom it was, the Dark-type pokemon began to swam a tad bit closer indiscreetly, yet remaining a respectful distance.

Long | Adapted from an TGB RP with PenumbralWolf

The shorthair narrowed her sapphire-colored eyes, the gaze filled with scrutiny, though there was a glitter of amusement, as the words of the Green-Fire echoed into her ears. It wasn't that she did not trust his words or not, but just that it was amusing for someone like Debito, whom Alyss got the first impression as someone who would have been prideful and egoistic, to say that he was a whimp. While it was true that looks can deceive, Alyss never once did imagine that such a scenario would occur in reality. That just made her like Debito even more, at least - in a friendly manner of course. It was a rare opportunity for her to meet someone like the Green-Fire, the last she remembered being one of the other adults in her exile days.

Her train of thoughts soon began to head towards the memories of her old days - where her currently bright, eye-catching orange tattoo was still a dull gray, lifeless and boring, a vast contrast in terms of speaking metaphorically. Life as an exile was certainly boring as compared to being in the Tribe lands, as lesson learnt by the Orange-Air as she recalled the recent battle that had just ended, the one against the caimans. During the days where Alyss was still a Gray-Air, the shorthair's only exciting moments in life were having contest and competitions between her two brothers and herself, though the latter vying for her father's attention and affection whereas the former two aiming for the prize that was often rewarded - be it prey or not, it was always something worth competing for. A small smile crept to her facial features as her originally tensed expression relaxed a little, just by thinking of her childhood days.

Quickly realizing that she had zoned out a few minutes before, Alyss shook her head vigorously, a tad bit flustered and embarrassed that she had allowed herself to be lost in her thoughts, though she didn't try to hide that very fact. "Apologies, I zoned out a lil' just now." She responded, giving a lopsided grin, "Also, in response to your earlier statement, aye. Of course I wouldn't bring you over to Air Tribe's territory, especially when it's probably going to be freezing as compared to here." Alyss lightly teased, a light-hearted chuckled escaping her lips. "You know, Debito, you're the first one I met who openly said they were whimps, you'd have my respect on that. But regarding the environment, well if you get anymore uncomfortable in this somewhat open-space, I'm gonna drag you to that alcove if I have to." Ah, always the one to put others before her - that's certainly Alyss for you.}
