:iconthe-hidden-key:   



.:Call Me Jua!:.


Name Meaning:
  • Sun


Pronunciation:
  • Jew-ah


Reason for Name:
  • Her sun coloured fur and vibrant personality.




.:General Information:.


Gift:
  • Placement: The ability to move small to medium non living objects without touching them.


Gender:
  • Female


Age:
  • 5 cycles


Birthday:
  • The 11th of October, 1:02am


Tribe:
  • Former Crowded Water


Rank:
  • Loner


Sexual Orientation:
  • Straight




Talents:
  • Fighting - Jua is a fearsome opponent.  Her size, strength and ferocity allow her to flatten almost anyone in a strait, close fight.  Usually it takes more than one able bodied cheetah to defeat her.

    Negotiation - She has definite skill in dealing with other cheetahs and getting the best possible result.  Jua can get what she wants from almost anyone with cool, clever words spoken at exactly the right moment.  She can also pull a poker face when she wants, and can be very hard to read.
  • Art - Surprisingly, this she-cheetah has a certain sense and appreciation for what is aesthetically appealing.  Unfortunately, she doesn't often use this gift.  Jua does, however, keep her private den clean and decorated with many different items.  Often, her den will also have a very beautiful setting or view.

Hobbies:
  • Climbing - A lot of Jua's spare time is spent in the trees, she loves looking down on everything.  Rocks or boulders will also do, just so long as she's higher than anyone she's speaking to, it makes her feel powerful.


    Walking - One of her favorite things to do is just go for a walk.  Jua loves the free feeling it gives her, and the way the world looks different from outside of her den.  This leads to her wandering quite a bit, sometimes taking two or three day trips away from her den.




.:Who I Really Am:.


+Personality+
// Social / Artistic / Loyal / Determined / Spiritual //
  • Social

    ”Yes, I am Jua, you've probably heard all about me, but why don't we chat anyways.”

    Surprisingly, considering the other aspects of her personality, Jua is quite social.  She enjoys spending time with other cheetahs, and will willingly go up and talk to them at most given moments.  She will also become bored and lonely relatively quickly when left to her own devices.

  • Artistic

    ”I think those two feathers go together better.”

    Jua will notice visual aspects of a setting more readily than the average cheetah.  She picks out and draws attention to the little things, often the most beautiful of all.  Furthermore, she has a tendency to arrange objects in an artistic manner.

  • Loyal

    ”I'll wait for you forever, and no one else will ever take your place.”

    Loyalty is one of this loner's strongest traits.  Jua will be devoted forever to someone, once she accepts them and considers them a friend.  She's not the type of cheetah to speak against her friends and family.

  • Determined

    ”This will happen, nothing can stop me now.”

    Almost stubbornness, her determination is so intense that it will consume her.  Once her mind is set on completing something, giving up is not an option.  Jua will see it to the end, and good luck to anything that stands in her way.

  • New Spiritual

    ”I know that there is heaven somewhere, because you are there, brother.”

    Since Hewa's disappearance/death Jua has had a certain connection with the keepers.  She never used to really admit to herself that they were there, but she's now absolutely convinced that they're there.  This faith is what has guided her through her last couple of moons.


-Personality-
// Aggressive / Sarcastic / Nosy / Bitter / Rude //
  • Aggressive

    ”Would you like me to show you something that hurts?”

    Jua is a cheetah quick to fight, there's no way around it.  She enjoys a brawl, and finds it considerably more satisfying than negotiation.  Her instinct in many encounters is simply to make threats and appear dangerous [Which she is very good at].

  • Sarcastic

    ”No, I'm pretty sure that was a unicorn.”

    Sarcasm consumes Jua's life.  When in doubt, make a sarcastic comment.  It is her answer to everything, and has served her quite well, although it can get out of hand and become rude and unkind.  Fortunately, Jua couldn't care less.

  • Nosy

    ”What exactly were they talking about...?”

    She definitely keeps her nose in other's business.  Jua always wants to know what's going on between other cheetahs, or what circumstance someone is in.  She is an eavesdropper, and not ashamed one bit. 

  • Bitter

    ”It happened because it's me, there's no use pretending otherwise.”

    In her adult cycles, Jua has become resentful.  She can't summon up the energy to care anymore.  Her whole family is dead, she has no friends, and she doesn't even have a tribe.  Her standards have sunk so low that she's pinching food off of hunting parties.  In her eyes, there's barely a reason left to live.

  • Rude

    ”Nope, still don't care.”

    She definitely doesn't waste her time with social niceties.  Jua never bothered to learn her manners, and will say what she thinks, when she thinks it.  Her rudeness causes much dislike towards her, but she doesn't really care, so she hasn't bothered to fix it.

.;On the Outside:.


Build:
  • Jua is a large and muscular cheetah.  She is both tall and bulky, with long, strong legs.  Her shoulders are very prominent on her figure, built up with muscles that are constantly in use.  She has long claws, and they're not blunt as she hates running.  Her fur is of medium length, except on her haunches and ruff, where it is quite long.  All of her fur has a coarse, rough texture, and it sticks up characteristically when she's annoyed and/or wet.


Colours:
  • Jua is a beautiful tawny colour that has darkened as she aged.  Her paws, belly and tail tip are all darker than the rest of her body.  Red spotting covers most of her body, the ticking get progressively larger towards the base of her tail.  The colouring of the spots inverts on the darker portions of her body, however.  Her nose is dark grey, as well as her claws.  Her ears and paw pads are both a reddish colour.

Eyes:
  • She has very beautiful eyes, leaf green in colour, with an almost glassy appeal.  Their beauty is otherworldly though, as Jua's eyes have no expression, and could almost be thought as cruel coupled with her brutal personality. 


Voice:
  • Her voice is higher pitched than you would expect, and sounds a little wild when it isn't roughened with indifference or sarcasm.


Wounds/Illnesses/Conditions:
  • As a former sentry and former loner, Jua has many scars.  Most of them are from battles she doesn't even remember.  Her most recent scarring is from a battle with a lion, around her torso.  These wounds very nearly killed her.  Jua also suffers from insomnia and arachnophobia.

.:What I Carry With Me:.


Accessories:
  • Ear Feathers - Two gray feathers stuck through her right ear, held in place with a green bead.
  • New Feather Bracelet - Hewa's favorite feathers from his collection.  Jua still has this from her brother, and it was originally a gift from Moyo to Hewa, so it has some family history.  She wears it high on her left leg, to keep it out of the way.

Collections:
  • New Feathers - She has Hewa's old collection, although she doesn't actively add to it.



.:In the Past:.

// Meant to be / Not to be / Heartless / Bloody Sunrise / Dream / Gone / Returns //

Meant to be:
  • My parents were meant for each other from the very beginning, although they didn't see it until later in their lives.  Moyo, my mother, was the daughter of the chief.  She was spoiled in her youth, and she had an attitude to go with her kind spirit.  My mother was also very striking, she was very popular with the toms.  Mtiririko, my father, came from more humble beginnings.  He was the runt of some messenger's litter, with an unknown father.  Moyo did not like Mtiririko [Teeri] in the beginning, but he loved her from the time they were tyros.  Eventually, he proved himself to her on their expedition before becoming full members of the tribe of Crowded Water.  After that, they were inseparable, Moyo a hunter and Teeri a messenger.


Not to be:
  • Unfortunately, it took Moyo a long time to get pregnant.  She was nearly four and a half cycles old before she got pregnant with her first litter.  This was a shock and a joy for her, Teeri, and also her father, who was very old by this time.  My mother had a relatively healthy pregnancy, through the late summer.  In October, she gave birth to three kits.  My brother Hewa [Air], my sister Maji [Water] and I, Jua [Sun].  Sadly, Maji did not make it through her first moon, so Moyo was left with only two children.  Hewa and I, however, grew up strong and became tyros together.  We were very good friends, he was my only friend, in fact.  None of the other kits were ever really drawn to me.  I talked to them, but they played among themselves, and I spent time with my brother.  Hewa became a hunter tyro, like our mother, while I became a sentry tyro. 


Heartless:
  • My time as a tyro started off well, but ended in torrents of pain and sorrow.  Hewa and I both excelled in our chosen professions, although my mentor didn't seem to feel that way.  He often talked down to me, and I just took it, until one day I talked back.  Then he challenged me and I beat him.  He had permanent scarring from that occasion, and I learned a valuable lesson.  Never let anyone walk over you.  I still didn't make any more friends throughout my tyro hood, but I didn't care.  My brother was enough for anyone.  But my family was tested, as Hewa and I were around 8 moons old.  Moyo was suddenly very ill.  She had, in fact, been ill for a long time, but had neglected to mention it in order to keep our minds focused on our training.  But now she was on her deathbed, and could no longer hide it.  I was with her when she died, alone.  The memory has haunted me ever since.  We were talking, and then suddenly blood was frothing at her mouth.  I turned to get the healer but I couldn't see him, and when I turned back my mother was gushing blood.  She couldn't breathe, she drowned in her own blood.  I was never the same again.  I had nightmares, and woke up screaming.  Hewa and I had to make our own den, to avoid waking up the other tyros.  I became bitter, and rude.  The other tyros like me even less. But that didn't matter anymore, my mother was dead.  I plunged myself even deeper into my training as a distraction, combat especially was a wonderful way to loosen tension.

Bloody Sunrise:
  • Soon, Hewa and I were ready for our assessment.  We both passed well, and were ready for our ceremonies.  However, we were worried about our father.  Ever since Moyo died, he had been a little off.  Bordering on insane.  It seemed to grow worse every day.  Teeri had a wild look in his eyes, and he had stopped eating.  He was mad, and ill.  But it didn't seem serious.  Then, the night after our ceremony, he disappeared.  No one could find him anywhere.  Well, a hunter found his corpse the next day.  The healer said he had a parasite, and that in is grief for Moyo, he couldn't fight it off.  We were alone now, Hewa and I.  Our parents were dead.  I am only glad that Teeri saw us become full members of our tribe, for I know it brought him great pride.

Dream:
  • Now, I was definitely unpopular in the tribe, except with my brother.  I'm almost positive that the only reason Ari kept me around was because of my superior combat skills.  There aren't many who'd like to cross me, on patrols I was menacing and in battles frightening.  My nightmares hit a peak just after my father died, but eventually they slowed down.  I discovered I had arachnophobia, but hid it as best I could.  Despite the circumstance, these cycles were good.  I met many cheetahs, and they interested me, although I didn't interest them.  I fought, and won.  I walked, and patrolled.  I climbed.  Life was good.

Gone:
  • Eventually though, when I was around four cycles old, I realized that I was bored.  I didn't care about my tribe, all I cared about was my brother.  Hewa felt similarly, our grandfather was dead long ago, and Moyo had been his only child.  We had no family left in the tribe, and we felt like outsiders.  There was illness in the tribes, it was a good time to leave, and so we left.  I never felt like we weren't part of the tribe anymore, just that we didn't belong there at that time.  Surprisingly enough, both Hewa and I kept our hidden marks, and gifts.  I think it has something to do with loyalty, my brother was also very loyal.  Although we weren't with the tribe in the physical world, we were still somehow part of it.  I enjoyed living with Hewa.  We moved about quite a bit, but my brother was a genius hunter, and I protected our prey.  We were fine.  We were happy.  Until...  one night we had settled in a den.  I decided to go for a solitary walk, as the night was very beautiful.  I was out longer than I thought, and when I came back...  When I came back Hewa was gone.  I found his feather bracelet a ways from the den.  There was blood on the ground.  My brother...  my only friend and companion.  He was taken from me.  I kept the bracelet, and when I put it on I could feel my brother's spirit.  He was there, in the heavens.  That is when I knew the keepers were not just an elder's tale.  My brother was among them now.  He had left me here alone. 

Returns:
  • I didn't know what to do after Hewa died.  I kept catching myself turning to talk to him, and finding empty space where he should have been.  I was slowly starving, I can't hunt.  I'm too slow, and too clumsy.  But then I ran into a scent trail, I knew the smell.  The tribes.  But I couldn't return to them, not without Hewa.  They would never accept me.  But, they would have food.  If I could get close enough, I could steal.  So I tracked them, across the prairies.  But my bad luck was not out yet, as I ran into a lion.  I was attacked, and I only just managed to fight it off.  Fortunately, I was very close to the tribes by now, at the edge of Sunning Rock territory.  It took me two days to remove myself from the den I had crawled into.  The wounds on my torso were fresh and raw.  I had lost a lot of blood.  I ate from a rotting carcass and returned to my den, licking my wounds, praying that nothing would smell the blood.  I kept clean, and the wounds didn't get infected.  But by the time I was, I was nearly a corpse myself.  I began stealing caught prey from Sunning Rock hunting parties.  Just little things.  I've been trying to build back my strength, it's a good goal.  I don't know what I will do though, when I am well.  I am bitterly alone.

Distinct Characteristics:
  • Long, Fluffy Tail

RP Examples:
  • The night was darker than usual, with the moon just a sliver of silver hanging in the indigo heavens.  The sky lay unspoiled, with no clouds touching the vast expanse of small, bright stars.  Prairies grasses rippled in the soft, warm breeze like waves in the sea.  A fresh smell rose up from the earth, it was clean and refreshing.  This was the edge of Sunning Rock territory, although you wouldn't know it to look at it, since its inhabitants were sleeping safely in their camps.

     

       Jua, however, was not asleep.  She had tried to slip into a slumber at sunset, but had failed miserably.  Awakening from her usual nightmare with tears running down her cheeks, the loner had noted that her dreams were getting worse.  Although she didn't wake up screaming anymore, her heart ached and she felt dazzled... and shaken.  There also the problem of her not having slept properly for about two weeks.  Eventually it would start taking its toll, as the cheetah knew too well.  This worried her some, as she needed her strength to continue the robbery of her neighbor tribe's food.

     

       Presently, though, she was weaving among the brands of grass, eyes drawn to the sky.  At times like this, Jua felt her brother close, Hewa would have enjoyed the warm night.  His scent no longer lingered on the feather bracelet the loner wore on her left leg.  Stopping near a boulder, she paused for a moment before scaling it.  She wasn't on Sunning Rock land yet, but she could smell their marker.  This didn't bother Jua in the slightest, she wasn't afraid of them.  They could hurt her, but she knew they couldn't drive her away.  Looking up at the moon with her leaf green eyes, she then lowered her chin to her chest and succumbed to the tears waiting behind her eyes.  Why had her life fallen apart around her?  Why couldn't she sleep?  Where was her family, now that she needed them?  And, most of all, why was she so incredibly lonely? 

[I tend to be a bit spotty when replying, so if it's been a little while, chuck a stone at my head and yell at me.  That should fix things up. 

 

I usually fit my replies to the length of yours, unless I have a lot to say, or a lack of things to say.  That example is longer than I would usually write though, I got carried away.

 

I’d rather not RP 400+ words per post, I find it tedious and rather time consuming, sorry!

 

I would, however, appreciate it if the posts were kept at least 150 words long, otherwise it gets boring.]



Well, dA coding, you're a royal pain.

Thank god for Jasmine

and also, anyone remember this little ray of sunshine? :'D
