Before you stands a beautiful white
Siberian tigress. Something is different about her though. It's not the
straight, long brown hair that falls over her shoulders, or even her blue-green
eyes. There seems to be a strange aura around her.
Behind her soft features is a concentrated expression as she watches you
closely. She is muscular, the results of many years of travel and fighting. She
has hidden her scars well, as she has the ability to heal quickly, and has the
power to heal from drinking the blood of her enemies when it is truly needed.
She also has the power to cast powerful spells.
Her clothing is simple, it's more of a strange combination of armor and
lingerie. Covering her torso and hanging on the upper half of her thighs is a
sheer mesh babydoll, colored black. Covering her arms and part of her legs are
simple pieces of samurai style armor, a gift from a friendly wolf.
Adorning her figure are a few tattoos, a black dragon on the back of her right
shoulder, a tiger on the left, and a tribal design with a sword centerpiece on
her lower back. The tattoos are covered slightly by the tattered backpack she
carries and her two katanas. The only visible decoration on the front of her
body is a single naval piercing.
Something is even more strange about her as you look over her form. The stripes
you can see are black, fading into blood red. Her ears too are different, as
they are significantly pointed, almost looking elvish. Her canines are longer
that a normal tiger's, and appear more like vampiric fangs hanging down from
inside her maw.
Katanya blinks and you see a sudden flash of pain and memory flow across her
eyes: memories of her creation in the land of Norrath because of the great
feline slaughter; hiding her powers as a goddess to make a pact with the Mother
of All, Tunare, to protect her kind from another such tragedy; training in the
Plane of Growth; being changed into a wood elven form to keep her from knowing
her true identity; and the pain of wandering alone. As you feel tightness in
your throat and moisture in your eyes, she bows and slips off into the shadows.
This one stands out amongst the others
about you. Unmistakably female, yet so very different in appearance from those
who would be assumed her counterparts.
She stands tall and alert, her eyes and ears in constant surveillance of
everything about her. One would imagine she could hear quite well as her ears
seem somehow longer than one of her species; some even say that they have an
elven turn at certain angles of view. Her eyes reflect the light around her yet
seem somehow dim despite their lovely blue-green color. Her mouth remains still,
two pearly, elongated canines peaking out from beneath her top lip.
Her hair is light brown, pulled back in a simple braid and tied with a leather
thong so as not to obscure her view. The braid swings lightly back and forth
between her shoulder blades, her tail seeming to match it's simple movement. The
stripes on her face and neck are odd, fading from a foreboding shade of black
into a blood red.
Her clothes give her the appearance of a travelling warrior, the accompanying
knife and sword strapped to her belt aiding in such a decision. She wears brown
breeches and a tan shirt with full slleeves that seems almost to big for her.
Her shirt is fit more closely along her torso, gathered tight and hidden by a
laced leather vest. Her ensemble is completed with knee high leather boots,
folded over at their tops, and a black cloak worn about her shoulders.
Katanya is a unique creature. Her age is
incalculable; all that is known is that she has lived for many millennia and has
not always been in this form. It is said that she was born to her mortal form
from blood and ash, a goddess come to protect those that cried out for her. The
story tells that she surrendered herself to another goddess, in trade for the
protection of her kind. Others have said that she trained for many centuries, in
different forms of fighting and magick, and at one time she even trained the
guardians of the goddess who she gave herself to. There have also been tales of
a wood elven ranger, a lovesick fool who went by the same name. No one knows her
real history, and she is not likely to share the truth.
The tigress is unusual, appearing to be Siberian because of the excess fluff
around her face, yet she is white in color, something not often seen in the
wild. Her stripes seem a bit odd though, as they are a mix of black and blood
red, and ghostly stripes of a lighter charcoal are sometimes seen between these
darker stripes. She stands at about 6' tall, her overall form somewhat slender,
yet tone. It is true that she has spent many years fighting and wandering, which
attributes to her defined muscles. Her long tail is often seen swishing behind
her idly, the appendage itself about 3' in length. She is naturally equipped
with extendable, deathly sharp claws and a matching set of razor-like teeth.
Upon her head is a long mane of soft, light brown hair which sometimes hangs
down over her face to hide her sparkling blue-green eyes.
As you look more closely at the tigress you notice other unusual things about
her. Most notable perhaps, aside from her stripes, are her longer and sharply
pointed ears. Without the fur they would almost appear to be elven in
appearance. The tigress is also graced with longer than usual canines, which she
often does not keep hidden and instead they are seen protruding from under her
upper lip. A navel ring also adorns the female's body, as well as three distinct
tattoos on her back; a black tribal-like dragon on her right shoulder, a black
tribal-like tiger on her left shoulder, and a tribal design with sword
centerpiece on her lower back.
The creature is unmistakably female. Small, rounded breasts are on her chest,
small light pink nipples the centerpieces. The nipples do not protrude however
and seem to be inverted. Following down the cat's torso one finds her sex
between her legs. The fur around it is unusually smooth however; a touch would
reveal that it is similar in texture to bare skin.
Before you stands a tall, tan elf. She
grew up high in the trees of Kelethin, protected from the dangers on the wooded
floor below. An adventurous sort, she set out at an early age to see what
mysteries awaited in the darkness of Faydwer.
Her small, muscular frame is covered with simple clothing. She wears light
brown, leather brithches, and a green halter top with orange diamonds decorating
it. She wears simple leather shoes, and her long, brown hair hangs freely. Her
hair is pulled away from her face by a simple braid along her hairline, allowing
her blue eyes to be seen shining brightly.
Katanya stands before you clad in simple
leather armor. She wears a tight tunic and pants, black and worn from many
seasons worth of wear. The leather fails to hide her muscular warrior's build
underneath, and the hint of a few tattoos peeks out from the backside of her
tunic. There are darker patches on the back of the tunic, most likely where
weapons usually hang when she carries them. Even dressed like this she has no
real need for weapons, her razor sharp claws and long fangs ready to strike out
at any attacker.
Something is strange about her as you gaze at her form however. The stripes you
can see are black, fading into blood red. Her ears too are different, as they
are significantly pointed, almost looking elvish. Her canines are longer that a
normal tiger's, and appear more like vampiric fangs hanging down from inside her
maw.
The tigress before you stands tall and
alert. She is foreign to this land but has offered her services here as a
guardian and protector for all who choose to enter this place. She has proven
herself many times as a formidable fighter and is not to be taken lightly.
She is dressed in light leather armor. Upon her chest is an old tunic, decorated
with elven symbols. Around her neck she wears a silk rope with a lion pendant
representing the god Maahes (God of War and Protection, The Leonine Lord of
Slaughter). Her hair is secured in a tight braid and held closed by a small
pendant depicting the goddess Bast. On her back she wears a quiver, filled with
arrows, and a powerful bow. Underneath her quivers her two katanas are sheathed,
weapons she brought with her from a distant land. Around her wrists and lower
forearms are leather bracers which have small throwing daggers strapped
underneath.
Something is strange about her as you gaze at her form. The stripes you can see
are black, fading into blood red. Her ears too are different, as they are
significantly pointed, almost looking elvish. Her canines are longer than a
normal tiger's, and appear more like vampiric fangs hanging down from inside her
maw.
My what a change. It seems as though this
old tigress has made an effort to join the modern world with her present attire.
She is dressed in a loose pair of zip-off cargo pants, extra pockets in
abundance, and tan in color. Her shirt is blue with a gray dragon on the front,
and long sleeves; it appears to be made out of a fabric similar to what thermals
are made out of. She has even chosen to wear a pair of shoes with this ensemble;
a light pair of hiking boots, tan and blue in color.
Her brown mane hangs in a loose ponytail behind her and she has chosen to accent
this outfit with a blue belt with silver stars.
Tight, slick and sexy are the first words
that come to mind when looking upon the tigress in this outfit. She's dressed
completely in black vinyl that clings tight to her firm form. The pants she
wears only reach just past her knees, but the rest of her leg is covered up by
tall matching boots. Her top comes down just below her breasts, revealing a nice
hint of cleavage through the tight material and the lacing that travels up the
front. A hole appears on each shoulder, leaving straps across her shoulders to
hold up the shirt, and her sleeves are pulled taught against her arms with the
same lacing style of the shirt's front. The shirt is small enough to reveal her
navel ring and a hint of the tattoos on her back. The outift is completed by a
velvet black collar.
Her black and blood red stripes can be seen where the fabric fails to go, her
long brown mane falling over her shoulders carelessly. Her pointed ears flicker
as she listens for sounds around her and her tail follows suit.
The tigress before you has cast off her
normal rugged look for something much more elegant. She is dressed in a lovely
mini cheongsam. The cheongsam is black and sleeveless, decorated with beautiful
butterflies, and fitting quite snuggly to the tigress' frame. The partially open
back shows off the lady's dragon and tiger tattoo.
The lovely dress helps accentuate her black and blood red stripes, as well as
her finely toned figure. The dark, soft fabric helps bring out the color of her
blue-green eyes as well. Even her smile seems more brilliant while she wears
this.
She has decided to let her mane flow freely, and her long, straight locks
flutter slightly in the breeze.
Katanya must have just returned from a
long journey as her form seems to shrink somewhat from its usual strength and
prowess.
The tigress before you does not seem to be her usual self. Her actions are
slowed, her speech softened, although it appears she would rather remain silent
and still. Her brown mane is secured behind her in a rough braid, the ends
seeming rather frayed. Her usually bright, sparkling eyes seem dull and
lifeless, her overall expression one of extreme exhaustion and pain. She wears a
pair of loose, thin, black pants; the bottom of each leg is wrapped with a thin
piece of rope. Her torso is wrapped tightly with an abundance of bandages and a
small jacket hides her arms, a match to the pants she wears. The same bandaging
appears about her feet and hands as well. No weapons or bag are slung over her
back as they normally are.
