Appearance: Sitka has a yellowish coats with dark spots. Except for the head and legs, which are covered by single dark spots. The spots on the rest of her body are in groups.

She has long white whiskers, which are stiff and sensitive. The whiskers help her feel her way through thick underbrush in the dark. Her tongue is rough and covered with papillae. These help the her to scrape flesh from the bones for her kill or remove hair from her prey. Her tongue is also used to groom and clean her own fur and face.
She has a broad chest, short but powerful legs, and a thick neck. She has a large head with high cheekbones, golden eyes, rounded cup-shaped ears, and a long, wide nose.
Personality: Tough and Hardy. Sitka is very tough, hardy. It takes a lot to knock this girl down, and she certainly isn’t going down without a fight. Giving up simply isn’t an option, at least, not for some time. She hates the idea of giving up, and her tough girl attitude often gets her into trouble. Being tough means she can give as much as she takes, if not more. There’s no gain, no pain.

Energetic. She is very much an on the move kind of cat. Despite having so much energy, she’s often happy to just sun herself, relax, and just watch the clouds. She’s never really in a hurry, and as such, it often shows. Her energy does come in handy when she wants it, and otherwise it just tends to stockpile, waiting for a time when it’s needed.

Agile. The fae is quite agile, being quite capable of literally turning on a dime, but she doesn’t often advertise this, since she’s rather on the slight side size wise, and has no real large amount of strength, it’s sort of her secret weapon. She doesn’t like showing off, and as such, many others don’t know much about her in this case.

Very Alert. Sitka likes to be aware of her surroundings. Not so much because she’s paranoid, but because it’s more of an instinct, to just be at least on partial alert if not more at all times. She doesn’t strain herself to keep on the watch, but she isn’t easily caught off guard either.

Cheerful, and Friendly. Siti is cheerful, and friendly, once you get past the sarcasm. She’s a great friend to have, and will happily stick up for any of those she considers friends. She’s not one to go around getting in other dogs’ personal space and instigate conversation, but if they’re alone, or look as if they need a good talk, she’ll approach.

Inquisitive, Playful and Unafraid. The female is very curious, and often sticks her nose into things she shouldn’t be. She’s also playful, though doesn’t play all the time, she knows the benefits of a good romp or two now and then. Sitka is very unafraid, and that too has gotten her into trouble. She isn’t afraid to talk back, and very rarely does she ever show signs of fear. Most call her stupid, but she doesn’t see it as such. To Sitka, fear is the equivalent of hiding in a corner, never coming out. Well, consider her out of her corner, and among the others. Now, this doesn’t mean she isn’t afraid of anything, no, she is. Fleas for example, or ticks, or any other creepy crawlies, but she tends to shift her fear into anger and always takes it out on the insects.

Spicy, Stubborn and Sarcastic. Sitka is spicy, with a rather hot temper, and a tendency to speak her mind, not to mention a tendency to talk back. She is very sarcastic, and as such, over half the things from her mouth is sarcasm, or some form of it, with varying potency. But if she doesn’t like you, the sarcasm is thick enough to cut through with a butter knife, and she’ll let you know so.
History: She grew up with her two sisters and brother peacefully. Having just been weaned from their mother. When she was a year old, a pride of lions attacked her family. Everyone was killed but her. The Leopard was brought into the pride of lions who killed her family with five other stolen kittens. They were all bigger than her, and used that to their advantage to get their way. She steered clear of them, and interacted only when absolutely required, thus keeping the arguments and fights at a minimum. But one day one of the lions commented on something, and being snobby to the max, Sitka exploded, and attacked the female, ending up with her winning. As most didn’t know, she had agility on her side, and used it to her advantage. And so that was the end of her time with that group. She ran away before they could catch up to her, and survived on her own for some time.
