PERSONALITY |[/font]
Ivory is a beautiful cat and, unfortunately, he knows it perfectly. He uses his natural advantages, as a female would have done it, without only being ashamed about it. He is terribly opportunistic and won’t hesitate to take everything he can, coming from absolutely everyone, before simply disappear. Stealing a poor kitten’s food? Charming a young female and then using her, for his benefit? Yes, that is Ivory himself. He absolutely doesn’t care if he does or doesn’t the right things. To him, right or wrong are just some ethereal concepts especially created for old and masochistic philosopher. That is definitely not for him!
As you probably understood, Ivory is selfish and, sometimes, he can even be haughty. He doesn’t really care about anybody. The most important person in the world, in his eyes? Himself, of course. Therefore, he will be cold and distant with every single animal that would come on all “buddy-buddy” with him. Unless, if he can obviously take advantage of the situation. Ivory would do anything to live comfortably his little loner’s life.
That is one of the reasons he doesn’t want to be part of a pride. Living for others, helping them to hunt and so forth, he doesn’t get the point. Life is to be lived only once. Therefore our male won’t burden himself with other creatures. Plus, they’re so pathetic, compared to him.
In a few words, Ivory is:
Stubborn.
Haughty.
Selfish.
Cold.
Distant.
Opportunistic.• likes | Himself. And himself. And maybe gourmet food.
• dislikes | Loud noises, kittens, and basically anything that won’t be a benefit for him.
• goals | To live his life as well as possible.
• fears | Dogs, wolves, coyotes and every other canines that could be imagined.
• strengths | Hum … his will, his smartness and resourcefulness (when he has the great idea to use them).
• weaknesses | His horrible personality (doesn’t help to make new friends!), his solitude and immoderate proud.
• mental disorders | Could his lovely way to address others be considered as a disorder?
APPEARANCE |[/font]
Ivory has a very soft fur of creamy beige color, with bicolor seal point markings. He is quite fluffy and hairy; therefore, the cat takes a bit of his time, every morning, to groom himself carefully. He likes to be neat, pretty and he is even a little coquettish. (Yes, he has undoubtedly some female manners, concerning his appearance). He hates dirt and everything that could be related to it. Mud and dust, for example, are his perfect enemies.
This cat possesses gorgeous sapphire blue eyes, as wide as the sky, as deep as the ocean. It’s a hypnotic gift that was given to him and his eyes surely are persuasive arms. He is tall and larger than common European breeds, due to his own breed. Indeed, Ragdolls are mostly big cats and Ivory is no exception.

HISTORY | [/font]
Ivory hasn’t such a stunning history. There’s nothing memorable about it. Nothing to really talk about. His was born during a cold winter night, in the streets. His mother was alone, lying on an ad hoc carrier in the middle of the snow. She gave birth to six kittens. Only five survived the birthing and, the following weeks, two others died. Their bodies have been unable to keep the needed temperature, despite all their mother’s efforts to keep them warm and healthy. When winter finally ended, three kittens remained.
The cat and his siblings grew up together, under the vigilance of their mother. They had quite a hard – though very rewarding – adolescent life. They never knew about their father and when they asked the female Ragdoll, she retorted that it was just “some feral cat” and then changing the conversation’s subject.
Soon, the age to leave Mommy finally came. Ivory went his way, his sister and brother went theirs. He didn’t see them anymore, nor did he ever hear about them. Anway, Ivory doesn’t really care. He came across a few difficulties, of course. He had to manage a flue, last autumn, for example. He almost died of the illness which seems to be nothing really serious, though it is, when you’re alone, cold and not eating decently.
Now, Ivory is just living, trying to enjoy each and every day, knowing that life only happens once. He is convinced he has to make it as beautiful, as perfect as he can. Even if it means stealing, being mean or selfish. Life is rude. Only the strongest survive. He has to be part of the strongest.• season born | Winter
• place of birth | Hexasol
• family | A sister and a brother. Parents are dead.
• memorable events | The day he had to leave his mother. The flue that almost killed him. His loner life in itself.
SAMPLE | [/font]
One more day, waking in the middle of the streets. Inside the city, different kinds of cats were living, just as Ivory did. The majority of them were loners. Although some cats were accompanied by females or by kittens. Ivory was part of the loners. He didn’t need anybody to help him. The cream colored male yawned and stretched himself out at full length. Nonchalantly, he moved, forcing his legs to walk … going absolutely nowhere though.
It was his instinct that encouraged him to go forward, in search of anything that could be eaten. A little bird, perfectly balanced on an old and crumbling banister, looked down at Ivory and chirped. It was as if the sparrow wanted to taunt the cat: hey there! You wanna eat me, don’t you? Piiih, you never will! Ivory could almost hear this tasty meal talk to him. He licked his chops and meowed desperately. Bloody bird!
The Ragdoll continued his trip to find something else to eat. Something a bit more accessible this time. He finally found another cat, a little female that seemed alone. She was skinny and hungry, voraciously devouring a small piece of flesh. Perfect! Exactly what Ivory needed… The big male gently came close to the female and asked her, with a warm and confident voice:
“Hello. May I join?”
