PERSONALITY |[/font]
Saphira is a curious, bundle of fur that loves to run and climb trees whenever she can. She loves to learn new things and always manages to get herself into some sort of mischief. She is shy around strangers but will defend herself if needed. Saphira is quiet and a skilled hunter for her age. However, she still has trouble focussing on one thin at a time. She is very resourceful and is willing to learn anything that involves how to survive. She is young but she always makes sure that it never shows and tries to be very mature around adults. Even though she hates fighting, Saphira is always willing to help out a friend in need no matter who it is or what they have done. She’s willing to let any animal have a second chance at having a happy ending. She loves rolling in grass and prefers sleeping in a shady tree than on the ground. When Saphira gets scared, she usually tries to hide in a tree and avoid what’s scaring her. If she cannot, she will stand up for herself. Saphira considers herself to be nowhere near perfect and is respectful to everyone she meets. When she has nothing to, you can probably find her lying in the sun or chasing butterflies.

APPEARANCE |[/font]
Saphira has two big yellow eyes that help her to judge distances and spot her prey when she needs it. She has a golden sun-like coat, splashed with big black outlined spots to help her camouflage within her surrounds. She has two average size ears that help her pick up sounds far away. Her tail is long and thin like a cheetah’s except hers is used to help her balance on a tree branch. She’s got big paws and sharp claws, perfect for her love of tree climbing. She has a scar on her grey-tinged muzzle from getting caught on a wired fence. She has powerful legs and rotating ankles, allowing her to climb down a tree headfirst, much like a squirrel would.

HISTORY[/font]
Saphira lived with her mother and siblings in an old badger hole until she was about 6 months old. She loved to play with her two brothers and sister but mostly enjoyed hanging around with her mother. When she was 6 months old, her family was attacked and her mother was killed while her brothers and sister were taken. She would have been taken too if her mother had not pushed her through the escape tunnel before she died. Abandoned, she looked for other places to live, not having much success before being chased off again. Lonely and starving, she eventually found an old tree where she spent most of her days sitting and hoping she would find food. Much to her surprise, not a week after she had taken to sleeping in the tree, a mother Serval found her and took her in. Saphira loved playing with the Serval kits and learning to hunt from the mother as well as other useful skills. When she was 1 year old, Saphira left the safety of the Serval family and started off on her own. She met several other creatures along the way but, never stayed with any one friend for very long. At the age of 2 she found herself in a small deserted town where she was told by a group of house cats that some young clouded leopards had been conscripted to fight against a rival pack of dogs. Horrified, Saphira vowed that she would find her siblings and bring them home safely. So with the love of her last remaining family on her mind, she began her journey.

After another long day of running through a small farm yard, Saphira came to a stop near a small pond that seemed to have been abandoned. Panting from the harsh heat of the day, she looked around to see if anyone was around. Scanning the barn and surrounding old buildings came up empty as well. After reassuring herself that she was alone and no one was around, she dashed over to the pond and began lapping up the cool water. Unfortunately, she had shifted too much of her weight to her front paws to get at the water, that she lost her balance and fell into the pond with a splash. Soaked and a little annoyed by her carelessness, she paddled back to the shore and shook herself. After a few more minutes of rolling in the grass and a bit more shaking, she decided to look around. To the small clouded leopard, the old farm looked like it hadn’t been used in along time. Sure, she had heard from her mother tales of when people had used to live on the earth but to see some of their work was surprising. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, she yawned and decided to search for a good look out spot to rest. It didn’t take her long to spot a tall tree and with agile grace, she bounded up the tree trunk and perched on a branch. Stretching, she curled up into a ball and was fast asleep by the time; she had placed her head on her paws.
