Name:
Zenith
Age:
3 Years
Gender:
Female
Specific Cross:
Snow Leopard x African Lion
Desired Rank/Role?:
Undecided. She is conflicted with being together or going solitary..
Appearance:
Zenith is not the most feminine looking big cat. Though as female big cats are leaner or smaller frames than male cats. She is relatively shorter standing at 25 inches. And her length 6.5 feet giving her the longer scale of her hybrid species with her tail giving a foot of that. She is’t necessarily huge or large like the opposite sex of her. As male are larger than their female counterparts, but she has a rougher appearance. She is not elegant as she is not lean and built for speed. She is stealthy like her genes are made for her to do. Maybe it is not being compared as male, and more like her other side of the lion. Her facial features are more lion-like than a snow leopard. She is also more stocky and muscular. Her short size makes it seem like she is bigger than she actually is. She weighs about 160 pounds, though with her muscular and stocky features. It does not mean she is not necessarily stronger. She actually isn’t not that strong and more on the medium to weaker side of pure strength for her species. Her build is a mixture of what she was designed to do. She is light on her feet with great stealth, but her jumping abilities are where she is remarkable. Her build of being naturally smaller than most can cause her jumper higher and farther than most. Her flexibility is wonderful for such an athletic species to be light on her feet and able to move as quick short movements. She can bend and stretch her body. No, she can’t just bend her paws 180 degrees. But she can move fluidly and is able to twist her body and get in small positions.
Though her build has a disadvantage, she can jump and all that. But speed and strength are not in her ideal forms. She is not weak in those aspects, but it's not her highlights that come naturally. She can move fast at a short pace. But it has to be short and quick and not at an extended time. Her paws are average size and her claws are sharp and dark brown.
(If her physique needs to be changed. I tried to do combination of both)
A dense fur that is meant for harsh cold temperatures. Her fur is thick and medium to long throughout her body with around her head being longer and her tail. She has a mixture of colors of a light smokey gray color as her base with her white being a under coat and on her point of ears and legs and bottom of her tail. She has fables of off white/ cream coloring around her muzzle and down her chest. Though her rosettes are all over her body and make a rough looking heart around her face. Her face has no rosettes but a few dapples of black and light brown. Her rosette coloring is dark obsidian and light brown. Zenith has a basic set of eyes that are an amber color that can resemble caramel or honey in the sunlight to a deep black in the night.
Zenith has a smooth voice that does not ever seem to get shaky or unwavered. A low alto voice that sounds mature and thought out. A scar is not on her body or she has quite none. If she does, they are small and from rough tumbles.
Personality:
Zenith has strong morality for what is right and wrong. Though she has strong morals for what she believes in. She does not see the world black nor white. She knows things happen for a reason and that there is gray for decision making. She has been known for her strong will as when her mind is set on something, it is very difficult to sway her away. She is a calculating and logical individual and does not make decisions on a whim. She takes all the facts, feelings of others, experiences, or whatever that is important to make that decision. Nothing about her screams gullible or taken lightly. With that she can be a little stereotypical and judgmental to a certain degree. Once she is set in her way, she will see an individual that strongly disagrees with her as weak minded or just weak. She sees herself that she will make impossible decisions, so others do not have to do so. And people that sides against her or shames her for that. She sees them as shallow and weak that they could not do what she could do. She has that type of tough love for others that makes people hate her at the moment, but realize later on that they were grateful for that.
She is still young and very much still having her own experiences. She has an adventurous and curious nature to search for something. She isn't fully aware of who she is as an individual. Zenith knows she has a strong will and her decisions may push away others or draw them closer. But she does not see them as less than. Yes, she has tendencies to see them as weak but she knows they can be strong. Zenith is reassuring to others. She shows this side when she feels more comfortable around others and the environment. When either is causing her discomfort then she can be considered as apathetic and cold. Though her feelings are pushed back for her to survive instead of thrive.
Zenith does have empathy but it is more covered from her logic and calculating thought process. She doesn't just disregard others feelings or experiences, but she has to find solutions. With that her ability to make friends are considerably troubling for her. She is necessarily awkward trying to be herself as she still hasn't found who she is.
Zenith can be known as socially awkward or rather just unusual. She can do small talk but she rather choose not to. She does not really care or connect with gossip or crushes. She was raised with other cubs, but she was not sitting and talking. She would wrestle and fight or she would explore her own environment. She would be taking mental notes on others or just everything in her mind.
Zenith with her close friends or just the other Northern Taiga Lions to an extent is rather over protective. She will fight with words or teeth and claw. She is more of that silent listener but is not the friend to be messed with at all. She is a fighter not a lover. She will let the world burn for who she loves. A fighter or a protector for an actual definition of her.
A mother for her own future isn’t something she has truly thought of. She knows she will fight for her own till her last breath. But she doesn't know what she will be like on an emotional level. She doesn't know how to word it. She does not really know the definition of love and whether it's real or not real. She really does not think that for her. She does not see herself in romantic situations or motherhood. She rather worries about what she wants in life and try to survive in her new environment.
For any love or romance. She is clueless and will truly not know if someone is flirting with her. She will just be absolutely dumbfounded at the idea of that. She will just brush it off as someone having an act of kindness towards her. Zenith will most likely run from love than let it happen. She never saw love in that degree that she would not know what to do. She would need someone with patience and to love her as her.
Zenith struggles some mental issues with that being said. She struggles with her body image and self image. She sees herself as a monstrosity of being hybrid. She isn't the best looking and she tends to fall on looking more masculine than feminine. And she struggles with that aspect that she is more masculine. She knows all other Northern Taiga Lions look different from another, but they seem to accept that and she can’t. Her self identity is in crisis. Her self image is her criticism on her own. From her decision making and her being awkward to others.
Decision Process:
Her mind is conflicted of going solitary or staying as a group. She likes to only look after herself at times without having to worry about other's fates and deaths. She rather look out for own survival to a point. Though she was raised with cubs and it would also be a discomforting for her to get up and leave the only thing she has never known. She has been playing out the pros and cons. Though she has not came to a full conclusion.
